Hi SOTC Members and those Exotic Erotic Staff & Contributors,
Jay and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who contributed to make the Exotic Erotic Expo and Ball a success. Without the support of our community there is no way we could have pulled it all together in three weeks.
We definitely had some trying times but with the right help we made it through in one piece. At best the expo and ball was disorganized, but if it were not for a handful of wonderful people it would have all fallen apart.
Special SOTC thanks goes out to
Cat who in the midst of the storm always had an answer and was willing to help us, even though she had to answer and contend with everyone.
Similarly
Genevieve was in the mist of the storm as well and looked like she could use a huge massage – and that was before the ball even began. Thanks so much for your help and understanding with our first time at the event, we do recognize how difficult it must have been to deal with everything that came your way.
Also we would like to thank
Sam who hooked us up during the set up of the expo, what a great guy and a wonderful personality – he got it done and took care of us like we owned the place. I don’t know if we can even find him to send this out to him, but we do thank him wherever he may be.
One final thank you we would like to give is to the private security guard
Gerald who put in a bit of extra effort to make sure our booth and staff were well looked after.
Even before the event began Jay and I put out a request to our members and friends for support. We were and continue to be in awe of all of the help we have received, both in guidance and support in any shape or form. Thanks to everyone who offered their help, we appreciate it from each and every one of you. Below is a list of those members who contributed even before we set foot on Cow Palace property:
*
Karen – Donated a Laptop.
*
Mike & Dorene – Loaned several laptops, monitors, and other computer equipment – as well as technical advice on setting them up.
*
Vince & Laurie – Sewed 2 covers for the Love-SAC at very short notice.
*
Manny – Arranged for the van in advance and got us a kick ass deal. He also came over Thursday night and stayed up until well after 2am to help load the van.
*
Brian – As always gave us a great deal on sex toys and donated quite a few items as well.
*
Casey & Eryka – They donated sex toys, gave much needed support, and helped with all of our printed material including our banner that KICKS ASS, business cards, etc. All of their work at Monkey Business Design has been extraordinary, and we could not have asked for better service and products.
The following is the list of the dedicated individuals who volunteered Friday & Saturday at our booth for the expo and ball:
Manny, Veronica, Eric, Long & Anne, Shawn, Eddie & Lisa, Luk, Chris & Kelli, Karen, and Terena & Chris.These people came out and put in way more time and dedication than we ever expected of them. From playing on the Love-SAC, securing the Love-SAC, to walking around handing out lollipops, pens and business cards, setting up and cleaning, computer support, and keeping Jay and I calm, relaxed and focused during some trying times! We thank you for your dedication to SOTC.
Special note about the Love-SAC: What a crowd we got!!! Thanks to those who had the courage to hang out on the Love-SAC as it was not easy to put yourself in the middle of all of that attention. You were rock stars in your own right, and you owned it. We were definitely a force to be reckoned with at this event, as we were not paid actors but REAL live sexy people doing what we do best. Thanks for your courage; we know it was not easy to be so out there in a community that prides itself on being discreet.
Since we had never done this before the wealth of knowledge and support we received from everybody was something that money could not buy. They gave their time - entire days, to ensure our booth was a success. We all kicked some ass for sure. I believe we had one of the largest crews there, none of which were paid staff, but real people volunteering from our community. There may have been other lifestyle people at the Exotic Erotic, but no one else had volunteers helping out.
In all the craziness we had people getting things done with no questions asked. At the end of each day we were exhausted but no one complained and they did it all with a smile. We know how long the days were and Jay and I cannot thank you enough for joining us this past weekend. We only hope that you all had time to enjoy everything and had some fun as well. Being around such great people made the entire weekend worth it for Jay and I, we couldn’t ask for better friends.
Thanks also to all of the SOTC members who came out to the expo and ball and stopped by to say hello and offer support. As we have said before Jay and I have been overwhelmed with the support we have gotten from our community and it touches us to our very core. This is exactly why we do what we do everyday for SOTC, because our members are some of the finest, sexiest people on the planet, and we feel privileged to call you our friends.
From the bottom of our hearts thanks to everyone who made this all possible,
~Jodie & Jay~
