Scott McGowan reports for his site eyeonadult.com:

Much like the Army Corps of Engineers, I was one of the first ones in and one of the last out. To say I loved this show may in fact be the understatement of the year. Things went just well enough with just enough problems and just bedlam to send me to bed each night with a wicked grin across my face.

One girl was sent home due to what I can only imagine was drug-induced mania considering the behavior I witnessed. Another chick split since she didn’t feel she was receiving the star treatment she deserved.

I believe the first reference is to Katie Gold, who was frequently drunk, and the second to Ashley Blue, who did not like the show.

AVN's Dirty Bob, who operates TampaShow.com, tried to get me barred from the event (among others, I guess he believes in "free speech for me, but not for thee"). He's not allowed by his wife to attend porn shows because of his seeming proclivity for falling in love with busty blondes (not that I am above such things).

I arrive at 4:20pm Thursday, October 6, and take an $11 taxi ride one mile to the hotel. Orientation was scheduled for 5pm but Nightmoves magazine publisher Paul Allen doesn't rise to speak until 6:15pm. By that time most of the porn stars are present (except for Wankus, Skye Lopez, Lori Alexia, Jesse Jane and Carmen Luvana who arrive by Saturday).

Nightmoves employee Cecilia spent about an hour on the phone Wednesday night with bouncy black dancer Lori Alexia trying to persuade her to come to the show. Lori was all booked and then she became offended by something Wankus said at PSK Tuesday. "I licked her, sucked and f----- her," says Cecilia Thursday afternoon.

Paul and Nightmoves make it clear that porners should not do drugs during this trip. I can't imagine taking on the responsibility of herding around 30 porn stars for five days. No wonder Paul says that the Tuesday after the show finishes is his happiest time of the year.

The air is muggy (it rains a few times over the next five days) and the atmosphere friendly. I like my hotel room and have it all to myself. Some porners complain but most seem happy to be here.

Mike South is hot for tight-bodied blonde Amber (done two movies), 21, but she ends up in Billy Glide's bed. Before then, I interview her.

Amber: "I never expected to become a porn star. I was expected to become a lawyer."

Amber lost her virginity at 13, and then became a cheerleader. She was stripping by 15. "I had a boyfriend [who's now in prison, he broke into someone's house and hit a guy who Amber says tried to rape her with a baseball bat]. He wanted me to do that marriage life at a young age. I married someone else in June. Separated already. I'm going through a divorce now. I thought he was going to be ok with what I did as a career, but obviously not.

"It's hard to have a relationship in this industry. There's a lot of jealousy."

Amber says she won't give up her sex career for the right man. "They have to accept it."

Amber says only one strip club caught her using a fake ID -- The Seven Seas. They kicked her out. "It was a nasty hole-in-the-wall place."

Amber has a permanent grin. "Most of my friends are dancers or they own clubs. You tend to hang out with people in the industry because you're around them all the time."

Luke: "What do you want out of life?"

Amber: "A lot of money obviously."

Amber says she wants to get some goals for her life. "I go to strip clubs every night."

Saturday, Mike South claims Amber does cocaine and that that makes her someone he doesn't want to hang around.

9pm. Getting on the limo Thursday night to go to a club, I tried to take pictures but find the humidity has temporarily fogged my camera lens. Within a few minutes, it is ok.

Katie Gold sits down beside me. Then she proceeds to babble and repeatedly fall down. Everyone in the limo rolls their eyes at her.

She's drunk much of her time in Tampa and is sent home early.

I remember how drunk Katie Gold was at the AVN Awards in January. She was sobbing on Dick Nasty's shoulder.

I spend 25-hours (from Friday afternoon to Saturday 8pm) reading books and hanging out at the pool Saturday afternoon.

Around 4pm Saturday, I run into an unhappy Ashley Blue (AVN Female Performer of the Year 2005) in the hotel lobby. She says: "I'm so sober I can see how alone everyone is."

She hates the show. She hates the hotel. She says she found a cockroach in her room. The hotel moves her to another room. She's mad that a guy dipped into her front door after dipping into her back door and did not wash in between, so she's got some nasty vaginal infection and can't have regular sex for a couple of weeks. She's mad at the people who've given her gonorrhea, though she says it is easy to cure with antibiotics.

Ashley says she wants to do a good job representing JM Productions and then she wants to get the hell back to Los Angeles.

Saturday night, Billy Glide says he's been going to bed at 6am and waking up around 4pm.

Saturday night I meet Mike South's lover Rachel, a stripper in Tampa who won a Best Dancer award and is visiting Mike's parents with him at Thanksgiving. Last year at the Nightmoves awards, she got so drunk, she couldn't walk to the bathroom, and instead peed under the table.

Black girl Sierra has natural FFF-breasts. In the industry since 1997, she's done about 300 movies.

I ask Jersey for the whereabouts of her roommate Katie Gold. Jersey says she's passed out drunk back at the hotel. I press Jersey why she wasn't a good roommate to Katie. Jersey says she was. That she put Katie to bed.

Jersey is glad to get another roommate.

Jaxin says she doesn't walk unless it is to a mall. Walking from the hotel to Starbucks next door was way too much exertion for Jersey.

I'm thrilled to see the adorable Brianna Love again but she's not nearly as excited to see me. She says I wrote bad things about her after our one meeting a few months ago. That I wrote that she smoked marijuana.

It was true.

Oh well, I can adore her through my camera lens. It's a license to perv.

I ask Wankus what he said Tuesday night to offend Lori Alexia. He says he does not know. That she caused a huge scene in the hotel bar Friday night until Wankus's GF Tyler Faith walked her out.

I don't have the courage to ask Lori about the matter.

By the time I interview Ashley Blue late Saturday night (between selling her movies and signing autographs with the other girls in the back of a club), she's calmed down.

Luke: "Why did you come? What did you expect?"

Ashley: "I guess I expected something different. I guess it's ok."

Luke: "You were more ticked a few hours ago."

Ashley: "Because there were cockroaches in my motel, emphasis on the MO-tel, room. Two guys in the elevator asked me if I was a hooker. One said, 'Do you work independently?' I said, what? He said, 'I'm in room 246.' I told him to get out of the elevator.

"It's not fun for me because I can't drink because of my medication (for vaginitis).

"I got in on the plane (Thursday morning) I was supposed to unlike a lot of other people who missed their's."

Luke: "What happened when you worked out in the motel gym?"

Ashley: "This [jerk] came in. He had no work-out clothes on. He had a button-down shirt. I thought, this is odd.

"I was exercising because I'm fat. He's leering at my ass. I don't have a great ass. It's just whatever. He's just in here because... I don't know if they made it public where we're all staying... [Luke: I'm sure Nightmoves did not.] But there are so many [jerks here]. Vegas is cool because it's Vegas but this is [crappy] because it's Tampa. I think it sucks. I want to go home."

Luke: "How did winning Best Performer affect your career and rates?"

Ashley: "More people hate me. It made me feel cool. It only matters to people in the industry, because when I come here, there are so many chicks signing who don't have any name and they're grabbing dicks... And I'm sitting here [alone] and nobody gives a s--- that I have an AVN award."

She says that JM tries to lowball every girl who comes in to work.

"I'm the typical whore. I made all this money and when I won the award, I was dead-broke. For a time after the awards, it was a lull [without people offering her work]."

Luke: "How do you like posting on XXXPornTalk [owned by her company JM Productions]?"

Ashley: "It's fun. It's my homework. It really is me. Jeff Mike makes me do my homework because he thinks I don't do jack, which is kinda true. I go dance and do signings and stuff like this. Most signings are better than this."

Ashley entered porn in 2002. She's done about 300 movies. "I love that I go to my job and laugh non-stop. Everybody is so funny. When I'm doing a scene, I think, this is so hilarious. I'm sitting here puking and pulling my ass apart and this is my job? It's comical. The only thing I don't like is catching gono all the time."

Luke: "What are your dreams and ambitions?"

Ashley: "I need to get some.

"I wanted to be an artist but I found out that I'm not that good. I need that little thing called talent and I don't possess it. I'm a lost soul.

"I lost my virginity at 14. It was my idea. I wanted to know why there were movies made about sex. I didn't get it. Once I'd done it, I thought, this is dumb. I didn't have an orgasm until I was 19."

Luke: "What's it like trying to have a relationship in this industry?"

Ashley: "It's confusing."

Luke: "You had one with Trent Tesoro."

Ashley: "That was my first love. That belongs in a category by itself because you pick the dumbest people to fall in love with the first time. I couldn't have picked a dumber person.

"I thought it would be a good idea to date [within the industry]. That you would have something in common. But now it's completely the other way. I don't think I'll ever date anyone within the industry again."

After Tesoro, Ashley dated Johnny Darko for a few months.

"My sister found out that I did porn because she saw me on Judge Mathis. They didn't say s--- to me. My mom is a junky asshole. My dad is a snobby [something bad]. They kept it a secret.

"I said to my sister, why did you make me keep up this lie? Why didn't you take the weight off my shoulders so I could come home and not make up a story about why I'm driving a nice car? They kept it hush-hush.

"They said, 'We were a little worried and we didn't want to talk about it with you.' OK, good. I'm glad that's cleared up. Now I feel like a bigger moron because I lied to them for almost two years. I looked like a total retard. Now I think about all the times I'd get these looks and I'd think, do they know? They did. My uncle saw me in Hustler. All my cousins. They're like closet dirtbags."

Ashley finds sincere people attractive.

Luke: "Not many in the industry."

Ashley: "I think they're sincerely lost. I am too, but I try to be as honest as I can."

Luke: "How would your best friends describe you?"

Ashley: "I always think they think of me as a lot worse than I am. I think I'm pretty sh----- but I hope they don't."

Luke: "What's this industry like on your self-esteem with people constantly evaluating you on your looks?"

Ashley: "Horrible. But that came way before porno. In a way, porno brought my self-esteem up. Why would anyone pay to watch me fuck?"

Luke: "Why did you get into porn?"

Ashley: "Because I didn't give a s--- about my life."

Luke: "What were you doing before?"

Ashley: "Getting fired from every job I've had. I was a receptionist. I was a waitress. I got fired as a hostess at a restaurant for sleeping. I didn't care. The job was so stupid. I've had some problems with authority. Not the law, just doing stupid jobs that people take so seriously. That's what I like about porn. It's not serious. I can do whatever I want and they praise me for it."

Ashley's lost five cell phones this year.

Ashley says she's not giving in to (her ex-friend) Scott Fayner's baiting on l-keford.com, where he's berated her for not returning his phone calls. She says she does not want him in her life now.

"Are you starved for affection?" That was the most piercing question I received during my time (after I tightly hugged my questioner) in Tampa.

The answer is yes.

Other piercing comments from her: "It's obvious that you don't have a girlfriend from the way you dress."

"What's wrong with you?"

Sometime in Tampa, I lost my Irving Howe book on William Faulkner. Before then, it comforted me through many a dark night. I find it hard to interact with people for more than a couple of hours at a time. Then I have to retreat into a book or some other form of solitude.

Monday night, October 10, I sing karaoke with my friends and try to rescue girls from a life of debauchery.

Jane writes me:

I'm not shocked that Dirty Bob tried to get you banned, he thinks he's porn's only information source. I exchanged words with him on ADT about why there was no press or media info on the Tampa Show site. After I wrote that, he went back and added a links on TampaShow.com that showed the flyer for the event and an email link labeled, 'press/media'. The moron obviously didn't get what I meant (I was referring to press pass applications, special hotel rates for media, etc) . Dirty Bob is a serious megalomaniac who needs to learn HTML and graphic to fix up his chintzy looking website that looks like it was created with Adobe PageMill 1.0 back in 1997. TampaShow.com is a prime candidate for submission to WebPagesThatSuck.com because it violates every rule of web design imaginable.

My accusing anyone of shoddy web design would be like Hugh Hefner castigating someone for lack of chastity.

Random writes on XPT: "I didn't know that was [Holly Randall] until Luke put names to his pics. I was surprised. I actually think she looks better, and that's why this photo from her site really upset me. Tease. The photos of her swimming in a shirt and shorts were a little perplexing, seeing how her body looks pretty good in the other pics. Unless jumping in the pool was spontaneous and not planned, I don't see why she wouldn't feel comfortable in a swimsuit. The requisite public pool attire for obese boys under the age of twelve is not a sexy look."

Luke says: "She did not have a bathing suit, so I chivalrously offered her my (clean) tighty-whiteys (grey-colored) and t-shirt."
