I arrive at 8:50pm Tuesday to Santa Monica's Naughty and Nice party. I'm the only white guy in a sea of black and brown.

One Latino photographer I should know asks me, "Where are the bitches?"

I shrug and clutch my copy of Democracy in California. I read 40 pages by the light of the streetlamp on Arizona and 5th Street.

The parallels between the twin foundings of California and pornography are uncanny:

The chief occupation of the first generation of Californians was mining, an industry which is like gambling in its influence on the character, with its sudden alternations of wealth and poverty, its long hours of painful toil relieved by bouts of drinking and merriment, its life in a crowd of men who have come together from the four winds of heaven, and will scatter again as soon as some are enriched and others ruined, or the gold in the gulch is exhausted. (Sir James Bryce)

I hear the magic name of promoter Louis Depaz. I introduce myself and get an all-access pass. I relax as the girls stream in.

Angelique Morgan is from Paris. In her three months in porn, she's done four movies. She views Los Angeles as the land of opportunity. She believes she has a gulch of gold between her legs.

I meet Emilianna and Aussie rocker boyfriend of a year, Jimmy Tee. From Perth, he plays in the band Full Scale, signed with Columbia Records. They play hard rock with a hard left agenda.

Jimmy's yet to take Emilianna to Australia. "We plan to," he says. "I've got a few gigs planned back home."

Jimmy met her at a party at his place in the Valley a year ago. He got rid of another girl for her.

I leave at 10:35pm.

I walk into PSK in Burbank at 11:10 pm Tuesday. Billy Glide and his girls Brianna Love and company are drinking and having a grand time. Billy says they're all getting kicked out in ten minutes.

The group finally leaves at 12:35pm. "I'm not going to sponsor next week," Billy tells Harry Weiss, "There are too many rules here. You can't do this and you can't do that."

[A reliable source at Billy's production assures me that Billy Glide Productions will be sponsoring next week's PSK.]

Billy's girls scream obscenities and graphic depictions of sex.

"I'm not drunk," Billy tells me as he drives away.

"You can't do a public sex show," explains Wankus while taking a cigarette break. "It's not so much the flashing. Tell me a bar that will allow you to lick a girl's breasts. Seymour could lose his license. It wouldn't even be a court hearing. They'd just yank his license."

I almost get tricked into singing Strawberry Fields Forever but I stay surly and silent. Now, if it had been "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" by Air Supply, I doubt I would've been as strong.

Mars Callahan (writer, director and star of 2002's Poolhall Junkies) sits with Rusty Nails and Steve St. Croix.

Ben writes:

When companies "sponsor" PSK do they really think this will lead to increased sales? Isnt the point of companies sponsoring events like Buick and The PGA finals or Budweiser and The Superbowl because people watching the game will view commericals or see the banners on the field? I dont think raincoaters are visiting lukeisback.com and thinking damn Trina Micheals is at PSK and she is standing in front a poster for Billy Glide I need to go buy it! What are companies really thinking? Please ask Black Widow if their sales doubled when they sponsored.

Jace Byers replies: "Companies sponsor events like this for branding value, not for increased sales. Guess what, it apparently works, because of Ben's email to you, Black Widow has tons more advertising."

Ben replies: "If "branding value" was worth anything in the world of adult video then Mark Carriere at Leisure Time wouldnt have amassed a large fortune by marketing videos under 100s of diifferent manufacturing names like Tuxedo Video, Executive Video to name a few."

Wankus writes out reasons for sponsoring PSK.
