re: drewkole sp?

You do make a lot of good points in your 'ranting' message, but I do not run a TGP, I do actually pretty much what you imply I don't do. I make and post only my own galleries. I don't post other people's galleries on my site.

This isn't an open even because myself and a couple of unnamed other sponsers are paying a HUGE portion of the costs to this event. I don't take submissions, so gallery submitters aren't really revelant to me. You are, of course, VERY IMPORTAT to most of the guests attending this event though as they run TGPs and depend on your hard work and devotion. Another reason I and a coulple of other people started this event is that we were sick and tired of the 400 person shoulder to shoulder parties. Yes, most of the guests will still attend many of those parties at Vegas, (including me) but this is just a 'break' so that we can step back and get a breath of fresh air. This is a different kind of event, and you are more than welcome to create your own event specific to your market niche. The restricted nature of the guest list is basically a reflection of who I want there because I feel that those people will benefit me. Call me selfish but that's life I guess and it's my quarter.

Newbies don't stay newbies forever. All large sites were once newbies. I started by submitting galleries and now this is a full time job for me with a great income. I have met a LOT of great people in this business who are fair and honest and fantistic to work with. It's a sad statement but I sold life insurance and mutual funds for 7 years before doing this and I can say that I was sick of all the crooks and shady deal in that business. Believe it or not but the people who I have worked with in the online free TGP porn industry are way nicer, honester, and just generally better people all around in my experience. It's not easy, as you know, and it's a lot of work but I consider it a labour of love and this event is my way of giving just a little back to the people who have helped me become what I am today. (which is a bum who sits at home all day and taps keys while looking at all his neighbors grumble and drive off to work.)
