Sunday, October 26

While watching one of the performances, I thought I saw someone familiar in the front row. I got out of my seat, walked down the center aisle to get a closer look, and was pleased to learn that my eyes hadn’t deceived me! It was Nekomi, whom I hadn’t seen since Austin

Puerto Rico 2025

My first time visiting Puerto Rico, and first time flying with an intimate partner in a minute

Monday, March 3

REDACTED and I met at IAH, and spent some time enjoying amenities prior to boarding UA1192

Leading up to the trip, I’d sent along details of the inflight menu

I ordered drink after drink. The flight attendant asked what the occasion was

We took a taxi over to car rental location, picked up the rental car, a Kia Soul, and took off for Lajas, chasing the setting sun

We checked in at

We checked out the hotel restaurant, but they were out of the dish REDACTED was interested in

Dined at IC, ordered a platter. REDACTED enjoyed interacting with the couple cats that hung around

Tuesday, March 4

Breakfast at hotel restaurant. Ordered omelette and French toast

Drove to Playita Rosada, but found the vehicle entrance closed off

Began turning back, but decided to take a closer look, at which point we found the pedestrian gate was open

Took some photos, and hung around until some cyclists came riding through

Returned to the room for a bit

We had late lunch at Puerto Parguera, where I tried mofongo for the first time

Just shy of 6PM, we boarded the vessel that took us to the Bahía Fosforescénte (Bioluminescent Bay)

Captain told us Puerto Rico was home to three of five year-round bioluminescent bays: Jamaica and The Maldives are host to the other two

There was something magical about that experience. I didn’t bother trying to capture it with my phone camera

8:36PM back to hotel restaurant for the two welcome drinks: piña colada & mojito

Wednesday, March 5

8:46AM breakfast at the hotel restaurant: omelette and club sandwich

Drove to Rincón, and arrived early for check in

Checked out the pool and beach while waiting for our room

Late lunch at Rincón Boricua: empanadilla alcapurria, queso frito, mofongo relleno de pescado, creme brûlée coco

Couple drinks at the hotel bar: sunset, the ice cream one

Took a short walk on beach

Watched the sunset together from the balcony

Back to hotel bar: coconut mojito, kokotazo

REDACTED got sunburned

Saturday, March 8

Walked over to Pinky’s Calle Loíza: Mallorca sandwich

Castillo San Felipe del Morro. Took a long time to reach nearby parking: some road closures meant traffic through old San Juan was even slower than it would have been otherwise. We discovered some event taking place

Café El Punto: ceviche de pescado, tostones relleno de mar y tierra with ensalada Chilena y amarillos, and a piña colada

REDACTED picked up some souvenirs for her mamí

20190920 – 20190924 Los Angeles

From September 20 to September 24, 2019, I visited Los Angeles for my first studio scene, starring alongside Alvin Tan and Karla Kush

Friday, September 20

I left Houston via Spirit Airlines NK327. The terminal was packed with people – just the previous day, IAH had shut down because of flooding caused by Tropical Storm Imelda. I shot a quick video to capture the moment:

I arrived at LAX in the evening, rode the FlyAway bus over to Union Station, and the light rail over to the stop closest to my friend Brien’s place. We had dinner together at a vegetarian restaurant – I really enjoyed the food, and commended him on his selection. On the ride there, he told me how he’d brunched at Matt Groening’s home.

Saturday, September 21

Ahead of my travel, I’d reached out to fans in LA, and organized a group lunch.

I didn’t make it in time to catch the light rail, so I had to wait for a while. I briefly considered putting out a blast to indicate I would be showing up late, but settled for this instead:

https://twitter.com/yetieater/status/1175456259476205570

I arrived at the restaurant, which had just begun filling up with patrons. After hanging around a bit, I determined that no one I’d reached out to decided to show up.

I briefly considered going back to my buddy’s place. I went into the nearby H&M and picked out a couple pairs of pants from the clearance rack.

Anna and her brother arrived. I was chatting with a new friend, while smoking one of his cigarettes, when I spotted her across the street. She sent me a message signaling she was going to leave, and at that point, I walked over.

We sat upstairs and enjoyed a good meal.

Afterwards, we walked around the area. I saw a man with a DSLR strapped to him, and learned that Nerd Con and Bully Con were taking place nearby.

Back at Brien’s that evening, Will Groening came. Brien and Will went to an event – I decided to turn in early so that I would be prepared for the next day

Sunday, September 22

I woke early, and walked the block, stretching in preparation for the shoot

I showed up early to the filming location, and grabbed some fruit to eat from the breakfast area.

Alvin Tan showed up – I recognized him immediately. We went up to the room together, and he ran me through the day’s events.

Next, our cameraman, Slamdogfilms, arrived

Finally, Karla Kush came in with a little wheeled suitcase containing some wardrobe items

The cameraman filmed her as she took a shower

At 1:23PM, I recorded a video using my phone while she acted

Prior to the shoot, I’d done some research on Karla Kush to learn her likes and dislikes. It was important to me that my first scene be a success.

Alvin busted

I enjoyed spending time with Karla Kush one on one, but I kept getting distracted by the fact we were running up against the clock.

We took a group photo after the shoot.

Alvin offered that he could drive me someplace if I needed, but I decided I’d hang around the hotel given I had nowhere else I needed to be.

I smoked the cigarette I brought with me, and bummed one off of Johnny, a guest at the hotel who was also visiting from Houston. I went to the store with Johnny, where he picked up a bottle of vodka and some orange juice. We drank together at his hotel room ahead of the cocktail reception offered by the hotel. I wound up crashing on the couch. When I woke up, there was Chinese food. I had some, and went on my way

Monday, September 23

I hung out with Phantaci. We went to the LA Arboretum after getting some poke and tea

Tuesday, September 24

I grabbed all my gear and hit up Santa Monica:

On the plane at 7:30PM for NK326 back home

Hey XBIZ! Where’s the beef?

via GIPHY

I’ve been a registered member of XBIZ.net since February 21, 2020

I attended the XBIZ virtual event in January 2021

When you overhauled your forums, I requested my account be moved to Talent status so I could engage with the Creator Community, a request that has gone unanswered despite my attempts to follow up through the appropriate channels (see the ticket I left with support as well as my email to [email protected] from June 13, 2024)

I’ve been a cam model since May 19, 2019, and have had a pornstar account on Pornhub since October 30, 2019

You dropped the ball on my registration for XBIZ Miami 2024:

You drew blood when XBIZ Event Director Moe Helmy had security throw me out of XBIZ Miami 2024 on Day Two:

The wound on my knee from being ejected out of the back gate and pushed off-balance
My wounds on May 17, almost three days after I received them

You then besmirched my good name with at least one of your new sponsors:

AS Talent Agency revoked my invitation to their Nyotaimori Sushi Party

XBIZ Event Coordinator Theresa Nguyen Munoz then tried to throw me out again on Day Three:

After Theresa Nguyen Munoz blocked me on Instagram (despite the fact I made no attempt to contact her there), I knew any attempt to contact her, either through official or unofficial channels, might be used against me. I skipped her, and escalated.

I contacted XBIZ Event Director Moe Helmy, CC’ing him on two different text channels (Skype and email) to no response:

I was confused why Moe would dodge me at first, until I realized he was probably the one responsible for siccing security onto me

I left a voicemail with XBIZ founder Alec Helmy to no response

Why have you treated me as a second-class citizen at best, a pest at worst?

I may be a lowly, vanilla-presenting foot soldier, easily mistaken for a tourist, but those labels I’ve applied to myself on XBIZ.net? They’re all accurate.

Were I tatted up with a man-bun, would you treat me the same way?

Note

I originally started this piece as a follow-up to my post about XBIZ Miami 2024, in which I discovered Moe Helmy was probably responsible for requesting security remove me from the Sagamore Hotel. Since I began drafting it, I’ve faced a cancellation attempt that coincided eerily with the time I began re-engaging with XBIZ.

XBIZ seized upon the opportunity and had an attorney send me a letter, banning me from their future events. I tried contacting their attorney to no response. I asked around and got a plausible email address for Alec Helmy, but he has not responded via email, either.
