Conferences and Events that attract good business

[jawjateck]

Don't know if it's good for biz, but Atlanta's busiest weekend is Labor Day. The city floods with out-of-towners while alot of city dwellers flee. It's usually a confluence of numerous major events, among them Dragon-Con (a sci-fi/fantasy conference....50k+), baseball/college football games, etc. NASCAR previously held a race at Atlanta motor speedway on the same weekend. It was too much. They moved it.

What about dog shows? Seriously I think that could be a lucrative opportunity. Not just the big Westminster Kennel Club but also lots of regional shows. Just a thought.

I have the fantasy that an escort will do a "Ted Haggerty" outing at the Republican National Convention. I have noticed over the years that there are many Republican congressman who frequent restrooms or televangelists who hire escorts.

 

I am so sick of being demonized by these "Christians" like Mike Huckabee. I would die happy if he were caught with a male escort. Also, since televangelists enjoy outing cartoon characters such as Tinky Winky, they are a fair target for exposure.

I've never been a fan of outting no matter how disgusting the person is.

In theory, I agree with you seaboy4hire. It is a fantasy of mine, but generally I wind up feeling sorry for people like Haggerty whose life is pretty much ruined afterwards. Disclosing our sexual orientation is, indeed, a personal choice. I lost a teaching job in the late 70s due to my being outed by a gay friend who wanted revenge. So I basically feel no one should experience this. But the fantasy of homophobic tea party members and tele-evangelists being outed is humorous to me, and I think would make a funny movie.

 

I think your opinion is an indication of your professionalism and integrity. The escort who outed Haggerty did try to cash in on his notoriety, so his motives were suspect.

In fantasy yes I could prob agree with you. But there is usually more than 1 person that will be affected by outting someone in reality. Often times there is a wife and children involved. I wouldn't want to put the kids through all the media circus that is involved, it wouldn't be fair to them.

SXSW in Austin

[Mo Mason]

The National Restaurant Association show at McCormick Place in Chicago draws a big crowd. It's always in May, so it's coming up soon (May 21-24).

[Kuriousity]

Possibly the North American Auto Show. Also, National Association of Realtors....although a chunk of the convention attendees are actually in the sex work business....

[Brian Kevin]

Fire Fighter convention in Indy. GOP in Cleveland, good luck booking a hotel though!!!

 

I'll let you know how the pride tour turns out, if it goes good I'll probably lie and say it was a bust though.

 

No one listens to me about Upstate NY or Baltimore, so I stopped telling my secrets of gold.

DUH THEY HAVE FREE HOSTING PLACES. WHY ELSE WOULD YOU BE AN ESCORT AND A REALTOR?! Ding. Fires are done

[Brian Kevin]

Ohhh there's also a Aveda confrence in Minneapolis, MN once a year. Tons of flaming hair dressers in need of de-stressing. I set up my massage chair at the convention and was banging NON-STOP 20$/10 minute back massage (through the cloths, dry with no lotion or oil) PLENTY took my number and came to visit me at the hotel that night. Not to mention Backpage and Adam4adam were alert after alert!

Bull shit! You been blackmailing me (in a joking way) about those damn chopsticks for awhile! You outted me that I am a dunb blonde who can give ONE hell of a massage, facial, etc, but has no hand to eye to mouth coordination when it comes to swallowing....... see what I did there?!

There's some sort of Firemen's competition held in Montgomery, Al in the late summer.

 

Was at a restaurant with my son when a bunch of hotter-than-hell firefighters came in.

 

Pretty much all of them had eyes on my boy - lacrosse player, 6'3", hard body.

 

Trouble is - he's only in high school. The son had no idea! I saw it all!
