FROM THE TRENCHES
BY: Dave Cummings—-Porn Star/Producer/Director Jan, 2009
Aren’t the Space Program words “We have a problem, Houston” historical? Well, to me, it’s now Houston and some other American cities which have a problem. It appears like some hypocritical religious folks (you know, the ones who perhaps fantasize about gentlemen’s clubs and adult entertainment, but then “brown-nose” God by championing political restraints on it) have somehow gotten more and more politicians to act in their behalf, instead of for the overall people they represent. And, the Courts sometimes seem blinded too. Somehow, the good people have to vote the religious sympathizers out of office. If those politicians can’t act objectively, then they don’t deserve their positions. Citizens who enjoy, want, and deserve the opportunity to patronize adult entertainment should not be restricted by politicians influenced by the radical religious right-wingers! All citizens should have the right to go to, or not to go to, adult entertainment venues—religious hypocrites, politicians, and judges should not be allowed to subjectively restrict Constitutional freedoms. C’mon, let’s solve the problems of Church ruling State!
The Bush Administration will soon end. Let’s hope the Obama reign will keep the dividing line between Church and State clear, and un-trampled upon.
In what seems like an annual happening, within minutes of me walking into the Adult Video News AEE (Adult Entertainment Expo) last week in Las Vegas, I lucked out and was hugging Feature Dancer Jade Simone St.Clair; actually, it was sexy hugging and a little left hand butt-groping while I held out my right hand to shake hands with Adult Quest’s John Gray. What a wonderful way to make an entrance! Jade has always been a close friend, one I often fantasize about sexually.
The AEE was loaded with beautiful porn actresses, gorgeous adult entertainers, and with many wide-eye fans with expressions on their faces like they were in Heaven. The girls signing autographs in the booths also were smiling and seemed genuinely happy to greet attendees and pose for photos with them. What a happy place the Las Vegas Sands Convention Center was! Because of the present national economic conditions, the number visitors to the AEE seemed down a bit, just like it seemed for the Computer Electronics Show (CES) which also runs simultaneously in Las Vegas. Even the airport taxi drivers, hotel waiters, and casino folks were lamenting the effects of the economy upon their livelihoods. Though I missed the wall to wall crowds of recent years, it was nice to have more aisle space to walk through and enjoy the exhibits, and yes, the visuals of beautiful women.
As in the past, the AEE was masterfully organized, and every detail was professionally orchestrated. God must surely smile down approvingly upon adult entertainment—even the Las Vegas weather cooperated. Elegant evening parties overflowed with happiness, goodness, and smiles galore. If anyone reading this has yet to attend an AEE, I recommend you put it high up on your “to do” list.
I personally enjoyed seeing so many “insiders”, friends, and co-workers at AEE. It was almost like a post-Xmas present, especially hugging the porn girls. I love my job!
On another personal note, my holiday season was fabulous. Swinger parties, family gatherings, San Diego Charger football, and holiday parties were fun. The area colleges are back in session, and groupie coeds are catching up on sex as stress relief from studying hard. I not only love my job, I also love my age and my physical location here in San Diego.
With the economy so bad, let’s all try to assist others, even if it’s just a smile, a good wish, or a prayer. Also, let’s be extra-nice to folks, just because it’s good for all concerned. Bottom line, let’s “care”!
Use your sun block, be safe, engage in some suitable physical exercise, live and eat healthy, and be considerate of others.
Happy 2009,

It’s eerie how much America and a country like Iran are.
“Because of the present national economic conditions, the number visitors to the AEE seemed down a bit, just like it seemed for the Computer Electronics Show (CES) which also runs simultaneously in Las Vegas. ”
That must be the shit for some people… I wonder how many people went to both… Dave Cummings usually has something interesting to say and I agree with his last two paragraphs
It was not as many as who used to do both and I think it has to do with the price which was $70 or so. The CES people decided to wait outside the entrance, especially on Fri, Sat, and Sun and take photos of people they thought were porn stars as they exited. It was truly weird. They’ve always loitered, but not thick like flies on a corpse.
I like Dave but he glosses over far too much in his comments regarding the Houston SOB ordinance, laying the blame at the feet of the “usual suspects” instead of those truly at fault (imagine that) to support his political agenda. The fact of the matter is, the ordinance was passed by a largely DEMOCRATIC city council and mayor ten years ago and routinely championed by DEMOCRATIC politicians including former Mayor Brown (a Clinton Cabinet member) and current Mayor White (allegedly running for Senate next term as the democratic candidate of choice, his having also served Clinton years back).
Further, they weren’t basing the ordinance on the Bible so much as trying to curtail the impacts of not having zoning on neighborhoods (Houston is the largest city in the country without zoning, it gets voted down routinely by the population who then support other measures to keep businesses from doing as they will in their neighborhoods). Had some of the less responsible sexually oriented businesses not been so “in your face” to neighborhoods, at city council meetings, and in the subsequent lawsuits where the regulations were largely upheld as Constitutional, the revisions might not have been passed but they were not as big a change as some passerby types (sorry Dave) seem to think either.
As far as the show comments, I saw plenty of negativity from the crowds, the ladies, and those on the fringes of the industry just as I saw far smaller numbers of people in attendance. Even the internet companies that support piracy (nods to Nate Glass) were downsized or not present in sizable numbers. The $80/100 a day fee to see far less ladies did not help attendance this year and a LOT of fans are going to spread the word for next year to stay away as it will cost more for less from predictions made…
I dont believe Dave sells a single tape in a given month. Everyone knows he pays $500 and wants two pop shots and takes 4 hours to shoot it.
Basically Dave Cummings is an old trick using his retirement income to fuck porn girls.
He doesnt actually sell any movies but uses the pretense of being a legitimate producer to get pussy for cheaper then he normally would if he has to hire escorts and hookers from online ads.
Isn’t Dave Cummings a Republican? You would think he would love to take a shot at the Democrats.
