Adult entertainment expos usually take place at convention centers in larger cities. Some conventions travel around, while others occur annually in the same location. Check online, or search in adult entertainment magazines, to find out when and where shows are taking place. Try searching online for "adult entertainment expos near me" or by adding the name of the nearest city. If you don't live in or near a larger city, though, plan to travel if you want to attend a porn convention. The largest adult entertainment convention in the U.S. takes place annually (typically in January) in Las Vegas. For the largest annual conventions, attendees often reserve their tickets months ahead of time. In some cases, it may be impossible to buy convention tickets during the event. Use the convention website or phone number to preorder tickets. It also makes sense to plan your trip in advance. If you don't live near a major metro area, you'll most likely need to arrange for transportation and lodging. A trip to an adult entertainment convention is not for everyone. Choose friends who are open minded, especially about sexuality and pornography. Attending with a close-knit group of friends will likely work best. Some couples like to attend conventions together. If you think this is something your partner might be interested in doing together, raise the issue well in advance. Don't try to persuade someone (whether a friend or partner) to go if they really don't want to. They'll probably end up being miserable, and might ruin your enjoyment as well. Print out a copy of the event schedule, which you can usually find on the convention website. Highlight the booths and events that you really want to see during your visit. Map out when and where you need to be, and estimate how long it will take you to walk to each location. Many porn stars, especially the most well-known ones, only appear at certain times and certain locations within the convention hall. Build your schedule around any "must-meet" stars. You can also pick up a schedule when you enter the convention hall, but you won't be able to plan ahead as effectively. Each picture with and signature from a porn star costs money. There are also plenty of sex toys, novelties, and food and drink items to purchase. Make sure that you carry cash, since some booths may not accept credit cards. Cash is also useful for tipping purposes. Like any convention, there will be plenty of ATMs on site if you need more cash. While nudity is often prohibited at these conventions (due to local regulations), there are usually scantily-clad porn stars or strippers dancing throughout the site. They might be pole-dancing at a booth, or dancing on stage in one of the auditoriums. Feel free to watch and have a good time. You probably won't get much chance to interact with the porn stars this wayopt for meet-and-greet events listed on the convention schedule. Visit the booths and halls you've highlighted to get your movies, posters, and pictures signed by your favorite adult entertainers. Have your phone's camera ready, or bring a camera, so that you can get your picture taken with the porn stars. This is your chance to briefly interact with porn stars, so take advantage of your time. Tell them how much you appreciate their work, and make a bit of small talk if you get the chance. Don't gawk or be rude, shy, or creepy. Treat them like regular peoplethere's very little chance things will advance beyond quick chit-chat anyway. While you can certainly ask porn stars questions at their individual booths, there tend to be long lines. This means you have to get in and out in a timely manner. However, porn stars often conduct forums at conventions. Feel free to ask them questions you have about them or the industry as a whole. Treat them like you would any other entertainer at a convention. Ask them what it's like working with a particular actor or director, or at a certain locationthis shows that you know about them and their filmography.

Fill a chimney completely full with briquettes. Heat the briquettes until they're tinged with white ash. Carefully dump half of the coals on one side of the grill and the other half on the other side of the grill. The center of the grill shouldn't have any coals. If you don't have a chimney to heat the briquettes, you'll need to light about 100 briquettes. Take a disposable aluminum tray and fill it halfway with water. Place the tray in the middle of the grill where there aren't any coals. The coals should be on both sides of the drip pan. Scatter a handful of smoking wood chips to the coals or place three or four large chunks of smoking wood on the coals. You can use hickory, apple wood, or mesquite smoking wood. Set the seasoned prime rib on the grill right over the water pan. Put the lid on the grill and smoke the prime rib for three to four hours. Use a thermometer to check the temperature of the thickest part of the meat. For rare, smoke it until it reaches 125 to 130 degrees F (50 to 55 degrees C). For medium-rare, smoke it until it reaches 135 degrees F (60 degrees C). If you have a thermometer inside the grill, adjust the vents until the temperature reaches 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). If you'd like the prime rib to have a crisp, golden crust, sear it over direct heat. Open all of the vents on your grill to increase the heat. You might need to add several briquettes of charcoal. Put the smoked prime rib back on the grill directly over the hot coals. Cook the meat for a few minutes or until the outside is browned. Remove the prime rib from the grill and place it on a big piece of aluminum foil. Wrap the foil over the meat and leave it to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Snip off the kitchen twine and carefully slice away the bones from the prime rib. Cut the meat into 1/2-inch (12 mm) slices against the grain. Place the sliced prime rib on a platter and serve it with your choice of sides. You can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to three or four days. Ensure that the meat is refrigerated within two hours of smoking it.
