InterNext Special: XMIX 2002

My exclusive InterNext Expo coverage continues with this look at XMIX, the long awaited party presented by XBiz.com and sponsored by Matrix Content, Net Billing, Exclusive Media Group, Access For Life, and Adult Web Games.

Friday, August 9th, 2002: A Long Awaited Party
Friday night a group of industry elite sailed away aboard the motor yacht Sun Dream
for a night of fine foods, cocktails and networking with key industry players. This event was the perfect way to unwind on the first evening of the Summer InterNext Expo in Hollywood, Florida, and to make a few new deals in the process.

Hearing comments such as "Superb!" and "This is the best party I've ever attended at InterNext!" it was clear that many of the guests felt exactly the same way, too!

After watching Dawn (WildCat) spend endless hours sending e-mails, browsing Web sites, and making phone calls in preparation for this exclusive event, I was happy to have the night of the party finally arrive. Since this was the first time that she had organized this size party, we were both anxious to see the results; and believe me, she did an outstanding job! Hearing comments such as "Superb!" and "This is the best party I've ever attended at InterNext!" it was clear that many of the guests felt exactly the same way, too!

From the tasteful background music she had selected to help make conversation easy without shouting, to the tasty morsels she chose to satisfy the 110 party-goers appetites while the free liquor flowed, XMIX found the perfect lady to be their Hostess, and the proof showed in the huge success of this event. Dawn didn't do it all alone, however, as XBiz Princess was responsible for gathering the wonderful sponsors who made this event possible; sponsors who flew their banners proudly aboard the luxury yacht, as they took this opportunity to thank their friends, supporters and future prospects for a job well done.

These are some of the pics I took that night: see what you missed, or relive what you enjoyed!
