The largest adult convention this year and possibly the largest one that Exxxotica has held in New Jersey, you wouldn’t think there was a pandemic by the attendance and the behavior of the attendees. Like the previous Exxxotica shows this year, most of the attendees did not wear mask nor did they bother to obtain the wristbands that designated them as vaccinated. People didn’t care and the performers signing did not discriminate. One thing I also noticed was that there wasn’t any alcohol on sale on the premises. Since it had been two years since the last show, I couldn’t remember if that was always the case in New Jersey
Again, like in Miami, Violet Myers and Kenzie Reeves had the longest lines at the show with people waiting over an hour to greet them. Luckily, Violet let me skip her lines for a couple of snaps. Kenzie consistently wore a mask that coordinated with her outfit, but I never did ask her why she chose to do so while scores of attendees breathed upon her. Instead, I wore a mask myself around her out of respect for if she was concerned about her own health. Both Violet and Kenzie maintained their long lines through Sunday when the crowd thinned out.

The after-parties at the host hotel were also raucous every night. Both Alex Coal and April O’Neil hosted trivia night with the theme of “Are You Smarter than a Porn Star?” However, the team that beat them were mostly comprised of porn stars. Heh. Looking forward to Exxxotica DC in December.
