Yes, Mainstream Media, AEE Is A Real Trade Show

Look, we know the Adult Entertainment Expo is full of—gasp!—boobs, and there's porn playing everywhere... but trust us, it's a real trade show—and if you want to cover it, you should have your shit together.

Say, for example, that you really want to ask some popular pornstars what their favorite videogames are. Great idea! What you should do, then, is get your press credentials set up way in advance of the show, contact the relevant studios to set up appointments for interviews, and have at those pornstars when the show rolls around. What you should not do, however, is skip out on CES, run over to AEE on the busiest day, and expect pornstars to fall all over themselves to answer your questions while they have a full line of excited fans waiting to talk to them. Employing that second strategy will more than likely lead to find that your favorite pornstars are too busy to pander to you or completely unavailable.

You wouldn't expect a mainstream star to drop everything just to talk to some random press person—so why should Lisa Ann?
