I got off a plane around noon yesterday – went straight home, and got ready for the XBiz Awards. On Twitter, I saw that my friend Kristina Rose was complaining about being dateless – and well, I was dateless as well! So we joined forces and went as each other’s dates. It was a really great last-minute date arrangement. I told her to come over and get ready at my place, and she brought a dress and a jacket that was really similar to the style of what I wore – so it was kind of like, in the stars for us to be dates or something. We were like, the short porn stars with black and pink slutty dresses  and leather jacket gang, or something.

While we were in line for the carpet, I saw my friend Brad…he owns a hosting company called Mojo Host (who actually wound up winning an award that I presented later that evening) . In any case – Brad was also dateless AND wearing black and pink – so he joined me and Kristina’s gang on the carpet. I went from having no date, to two dates like instantly. It was really exciting! Here’s a pic of me on the red carpet!

I was nominated for a few awards, but didn’t win anything. It’s alright. I enjoyed getting dressed up and seeing all the people in porno land I haven’t seen in awhile.

Oh – I should mention though – my porno brother- and our OG Cock Jock won “Best Actor” for his role in the Taxi parody put out by a different company. I was really proud of him. Tommy Pistol is an amazing actor, and he deserved to get credit for it! Perhaps his BurningAngel roles were overlooked because I personally love Tommy when he’s being a goofball, and the porno awards voting committees don’t seem to find talent in goofballs the way I do. Oh well. Congrats Tommy!

It was a really crazy hectic weekend for me. But hectic is good. I like being busy.

I had to go to Chicago for a web convention, sponsored by XBiz. I think the technical name for this show was “XBiz Chicago Summit 2011″ . It is a very cryptic name!

This was not a fan/consumer convention; this was a convention where all the important people who work inside the Internet convene and figure out how to make all our websites better. It’s pretty cool! I actually have come to love these types of conventions. They really are a blast and I learn so many new things. I spoke on a panel about Marketing (which I don’t have a photo of) and I ate deep-dish pizza (which I do have a photo of!!!)

There are more pictures from the Xbiz convention HERE.

On Saturday evening, after all “business” was taken care of, I went out with some of the Chicago BurningAngel girls – who I adore. Azure, Veruca, Phoenix and Rizzo. I went to the bar called “Exit” – where they have the BurningAngel night every Tuesday. I have heard a lot about this bar; it was nice to finally see it. The place is kick-ass. The music was great, the crowd was great, and all the bartenders were awesome. If you live in Chicago, you should definitely go there.

Then on Sunday as soon as I got off the plane, I went to Jason Ellis‘ house. He was doing some stuff for his website he wanted me and Jessie Lee to be in. They were really funny bits where we had to give lap dances to really bad lap-dance songs, like “Who Let The Dogs Out” and “Foot Loose”. It was incredibly random, but I did it anyways. We shot this in front of a green screen, which will magically turn into a strip club after editing.

I got home around 8pm and fell right asleep. I didn’t even take my makeup off. I always take my makeup off! This must have meant I was incredibly tired. I woke up this morning at 10 am and felt really refreshed. I am ready for a new week.

… And that’s all!

it is now at that point in time where it has just been way too long since I blogged. You have heard this before. UGGGGG I don’t like it one bit!

Draven and BellaVendetta are here- and so is Misti Dawn. Draven and BellaVendetta made me cookies…. and I feel bad because, well I don’t really eat cookies anymore these days but I am going to make an exception for these. They smell really good. Fresh cookies = awesome.

Rather than tell you a long story about my week- because well, it was extremely long….  I am just going to share with you a picture of myself eating Sushi at the Xbiz show in Vegas. It was last Thursday- I think that was June 5th.

MAN! I didn’t resize it and I don’t feel like it. Sorry. Just slide the little bar back and forth a bunch and you can get the full effect of this picture… read the rest of this entry….
