Tristan Taorimo is covering the AVN (Adult Video News) Adult Entertainment Expo for the Villiage Voice. His first report introduces us to the show and has a brief interview with director DCypher.

DCypher told me he’s probably been to eight Expos. For him, they are first and foremost about sales and networking: “The whole reason you come is you’re trying to get work done and to make things happen. It’s not about the girls or the parties or are you doing blow and bangin’ chicks.” His experience this year has been markedly different. “In the past, it would have been about trying to get to another level,” he says. “Well, I’ve gotten to the level I have always wanted to be at, and I can’t imagine being with any other company.”
