[QUOTE]Originally posted by ron4498: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by AlphaMale: [b]Am I the only one who can't get to the last page???[/b][/QUOTE] 38253825, Rene's Convention posts in one post. Thanks Rene... By: 38253825 04 May 2004, 08:51 AM EDT i am going to be as accurate as I can! Only read my messages if youyr serious about QBID. Bashers and pumpers are not why I am reporting. My partner and I did not fly to NO at our own expense to play games! Here we go!!! 1st of many messages. Hope this helps all serious QBIDer's. As I type, I am eating a Q tv chocolate from the show. First off, i or my partner are not bashers or pumpers. We met other investors at the ncta as the update stated on the hot line. i also don't know of any b or p's that would spend hptel, air and travel expenses to go to a show. if you did not know the ropes, you had tp ay $275.00 to get in. Everything i pas on is from our observations and as acuurate as possible. We went to see about our investment. Having experience at shows/conventions like this, we know how important they are - especcially to a small start-up company like the Q. The boooth was modest but professional. there were some smaller and some larger but overall you could tell Frank and Rene have some $$$$ tied up in this deal. Locion was great - right by the entrance. Not a lot of glitz and glamour, just to the point. Plain and simple. I am sure that based on my past experience at conventions like this, Q had 40 - 50 K invested in the show. everything included. I do not have to prove to anyone I was there. I do have photos of me and my partner at the booth, with frank and Rene and also at the Hustler TV booth with the centerfold---Tera Patrick. Check it out bashers and doubting Thomases. Frank is just what you see. After spending about five min utes with him, one can tell he has one of those personalities of creativity and ideas. He needs and has surrouned himself with the peole to help him to get his ideas of the ground. Remembe, he has past successes with the Movie Channel and BET. I asked Frank if he paid attention to the internet. He said know, he does not waste his time with people that can't give their real name. Hesaid he never looks at it--to many phonies. he told us he apprecaited people such as us that were up front and direct. I would say he and the others are very serious about making Q work. There are no guarantees. Rene Schenk appears to be the key guy. very professional and knowledgeable. He answered as many of our questions as possible. Keep in mind, they were busy and we, along with the other incestors that I talked with tried to let them do their job. Rene told us point blank that the boooth was only there for a presence. His real task was to meet with the cable carriers. He told me of the meeetings he had set-up with some big name companies. They are names you all know but I do not want to post them. Nothing is set in stone but I will quote rene on this. He expects to have a PR by the end of the week or first part of next. If I may speculate, and it is only speculation based on what we observed, we think q will have some deals done by the end of thencta. Remember, that is why companies participate in these shows/conventions. Rewne was very informative about exactly what the soft and hard launch are about. The launches are probably not what we thought. In short, Rene said it is not as easy as "flipping a switch" and your on cable. Without going in to detail, we, the consumers, will probably not be able to get the Q until the end of June, or early July. Those dates are pretty much on target. I only went to the show for yesterday. I am home now I also learned that Cafe Express is not authorized to sell QBID products. I l;earned this from Rene because I was wearing a hat i purchased through Cafe. Rene said they will deal with Cafe asap. Right now it is good advertising. There were many people at booths like Siemens, HBO, Lifetime that were talking about the Q. In fact our name tags, which I kept as a souvenier, said Q television and had exhibitor ribbons attached. We were actually asked many times about Q television and when they learned we had invested, they wanted to know more. I am quoting, the best I can, "q Televison is getting a lot of attention. It is time for something like this". There is more - taking a small break to check L2 plus my fingers are tired Any questions so far? makntam- did not hear or ask about a spokes person. In the curl. As i said rene explained the soft and hard launch to me. I do not have the time or the patience to type it all out. In the booth were two plasma tv's. The tv.s had some of the first programs running. Keep in mind what I said, soft launch, the way I understand wil be for the cable carriers. The hard launch is the final product we will see on cable in june or July> we did see some of the prgramming and i will post shortly about our conversation with the program director who was there. also. Stev, sorry i don't know his last name, told me about the programming. They definitely do not want to go the way Pride did---xxx. Very family oriented. One of the bog reasons is, remember this, all cable is not like Hustler. Big cable carriers, some of them, want a wholesome look and feel and do not want to cayse a stir with their sharehoders ar viewers. In fact, when I talked with Frank Rene and Steve, about other gay channels starting up, like Viacom, they were not concerned. Their feeling was it would be took risky at this point plus they are so big, they coulnd't get it of the ground in a timely and cost effective manner. It is very hard for a big company to think small. Good examples are in the airline industry. Why do airtran, Southwest and Jet blue continue to prosper and grwo while Delta, UA, NW, etc have finacial problems? They can't get or think small. Hubs are out. Get me from one point to another as quickly, safely and as cheap as possible. Which airlines do that? The same in our cable business. [/QB][/QUOTE]
