UPDATE: I had a major brain fart. Adultcon 6 takes place on Sunday, May 16th. My bad!
WARNING: All links except for the first one in this post are NSFW.
Coinciding with the news earlier this week in the porn industry that a male pornstar has tested HIV positive, this Sunday is Adultcon 6 at the Marriott Hotel in Woodland Hills from 2:00 PM-8:00 PM, with a post convention party at VIP Showgirls in North Hollywood from 8:00 PM-12:00 AM.
Unfortunately, the roster of porn stars scheduled to be in attendence is extremely lacking in star wattage, especially considering the fact that past attendees have included Jenna Jameson, former gubernatorial candidate Mary Carey, and the hedgehog himself, Ron Jeremy. But that could be an advantage as this Sunday’s convention should be nowhere near as crowded and chaotic as their past conventions.
While there is usually a charge for an autograph, there is no charge to take photos. And if you do go, get ready to be creeped out by the guys taking upskirt shots of the pornstars without the pornstars realizing it. :o
For those accessing the first link who aren’t Variety subscribers and thereof must suffer the indignity of only being teased with a couple lines of the story before being told to subcribe, here’s an alternative link that’s open to the public:

Hm, I just realized that the “Mary Carey for Governor” link is probably SFW too. Oops. :)
Did they give out the name of the pornstar who tested positive for hiv?
Yes, and there are at least two who’ve tested positive thus far: Darren James and Lara Roxx
