	This was this year’s VSDA report, but before I go I’d like to also give you a more visual impression of the show and the events. Here is a gallery of random images we took over the course of the show, as well as some cover artwork of titles that were announced and promoted during the show, and I hope you enjoy them.

	New Line’s Party offered something for your eyes, ears and stomach. Held at “The Beach” their party was so hot that the waitresses had to wear bikinis...

In the Adult section of the Expo, the atmosphere was bustling as ever, and there too you could see that DVD was everywhere.

At VCA Pictures’ booth, Kylie Ireland was giving out autographs to the legions of her fans lining up to see the adult star.
