On My Way to AVN Awards Show

04:12 PM PT, Jan 7 2006

I am off to the AVN awards which I will tell you all about tomorrow morning. Last night I went to the Legends of Erotica, a sort of adult Hall of Fame, induction ceremony. Among those inducted was Georgina Spelvin (Miss. Jones of "The Devil in Miss. Jones"), a very sweet little old lady who, hard of hearing, left the stage to sit in the audience so she could better hear the other inductees tell stories about back in the day. But the times have seriously changed for adult particularly in recent years thanks to factors ranging from the Internet to the mainstreaming of stars like Jenna Jameson and, more recently, Jesse Jane (who has appeared in rock videos and mainstream magazine covers). According to AVN the adult industry generated $12.6 billion last year. And, this other Hollywood may be out of mind for most folks; but the adult industry is overwhelmingly based in Southern California to the extent that Porn Valley is a common designation among attendees here. Anyway, tomorrow morning I will give you all the details on this other Oscar. Be well!

What a waste of bloody time - you people are sick. In case you didn't know, there is a war going on that you people started. Shouldn't you be focusing your energy on ending the war rather than on porn?

does anyone really care about these people?
