It's a little less than two weeks away and I'm super stoked! The star lineup is great and there's a couple of seminars that look interesting.  

Can't wait to see who's there and what new toys they have for sale.

They had a giant hitachi wand and a giant handheld body scrubber/massager/buffer that I really wanted to get. Hopefully someone sells those items again this year!

I have never been to it before and if I can get even one day off that weekend from work, I'd like to give it a try. Now what kind of events are there? How accessible are the porn stars to get autographs/photos with or even say hi to? And with it being an "Exxxotic" expo, how much nudity is there, when and where?

I'm curious about it too.  I've never been there.  I always thought it might be a little uncomfortable lurking around the exhibits by myself.  No one wants to be "that guy".  I'm surprised providers haven't been marketing an affordable Exxxotica companionship package to walk around there with a beautiful Chicago Doll on your arm before or after some private time.

Count me among the curious also.  I'm especially wondering about the after parties.  Who goes, what's the etiquette?  Are they just a lot of men standing around, are they more like meet 'n greets, or more like a nightclub where the crowd is mixed but you are on your own making friends, or something else?

There's going to be people and interesting things. As far as sexpo's are concerned, it's nothing like the AVNS in Vegas, but it's still a good excuse to get out for the weekend.

Hey!!!  
I saw that they'll be in Chicago this weekend! It all looks so fun!!! Friday is like a free Ladies night too! Saturday has all of the events!  

Via periscope/twitter if anyone can't make it. See you guys tomorrow!

I was there about two years ago. I wasn't very impressed. But they did have a Dom exhibit which was interesting. I got spanked a few times with a paddle.

it seems to have gotten larger. I skipped a couple of years but will be checking it out again this year.  

I would have reported earlier but was "out of pocket" all day. This year's gig was larger than ones in years past, probably most likely a function of the economy.

The after parties were busy as well. Glad you enjoyed!

This was my first time going, and It was pretty cool seeing some of the ladies I've watched on screen in person. All of them charge to take a picture with them, but the majority let me take a picture of them for free. I got the 3 day VIP pass, but the days are pretty repetitive, 1 day would have been sufficient. I did go to the after parties on Friday and Saturday. It was ok. A couple of the porn stars did come out to the floor and dance a little, but mostly they all stayed together in another section we weren't allowed. I'm not really a club kinda guy anyway so I'd probably skip that next year. All in all though I enjoyed myself. I wouldn't say it's worth coming in from out of town for, but if you're in Chicago it's worth checking out.

Many of the girls were more interested in TEXTING than greeting their fans.

. . . the lines would be terribly long.
