> Fred Salaff posts on his website www.fredsalaff.com: TRIAL STILL NOT SCHEDULED!

Panama is in incredibly bureaucratic and corrupt country. Our trial date is still in limbo. The judge asked my lawyer to arrange the date with the prosecutor and the secretary of the judge. This is not as simple as it sounds because when a date is selected certain processes have to be followed such as the issuing of the “edicto.” This edicto has to beposted for a certian period of time: 3-5 days. Then the 7,000 pages of the case file have to be moved 2 floors from the prosecutor’s office to the judge’s office and no one wants to hand carry these documents! There is no elevator in the 5 story judicial building in the city of La Chorrera. We often wonder how handicapped people get justice in this building. Incredible!

Check back often to see when the date is finally set. We do expect it to be before the end of this month.

Panama says that it will seek peace and justice in the world when it takes its seat as the Latin American representative on the UN Security Council. Well, they need to start at home first!!!!!

> Jimmy D posts on www.simplyjimmyd.com: I keep hearing about companies choosing not to exhibit at this year’s upcoming AVN Adult Expo. I don’t have access to the “numbers” but, from a purely observational point-of-view, it seems to me the business (i.e., those who produce its products) ain’t the only thing on decline. A good many of these companies who are choosing not to participate are notable and well-known. That’s not to say these folks won’t be going to Vegas in January: They simply won’t be spending their declining revenues on exhibitor space.

Of course, most of these company’s representatives will be walking the show-floor and glad-handing buyers and others. They’ll also be doing business in hotel suites where they’ll showcase and hawk their latest and greatest, keep a stable of porn babes on hand, push show-deals, and prep buyers for upcoming releases. So, business will take place. But it might not line the pockets of Adult Expo’s producers to the extent it once did.

It’s not all gloom-and-doom for the jizz biz. Let’s look on the good side of things: The Republicans experienced, in the words of our fearless leader this morning, “a thumpin'” in yesterday’s mid-term elections. Ya gotta love that! Hopefully, the trend will continue and, in two years, the neo-cons will be bounced out on their ears.

> chloezoe writes on ADT: I read that Stormy Daniels started her own production company back in february. She was suppose to start with the movies, Forbidden Fucks “gonzo style”, Athletes “all anal” and Drenched. Has anyone heard of release dates or info??

> stormy daniels replies: I don’t have any release dates yet, but I have been shooting away. Forbidden Fucks will be the first one and it has my first non-condom scene in it. It is with Manuel Ferrara and I believe it’s by far my best scene ever. I haven’t decided the order of release for the others yet, but I’ll keep everyone posted. I have had so many other opportunities arise that my movies were put on hold.
