Erotica L.A. returns to the L.A. Convention Center this weekend for three days of my using it as an excuse to walk up the street and eat chicken fried steak at The Pantry. In addition, this year's iteration of the long-running consumer/porn star meet and greet features the 2nd annual F.A.M.E. Awards as well as a traveling version of Cirque du Soleil's ultra-bendy and nippletastic "Zumanity". The gang from John Stagliano's porn film-turned-Vegas show "Fashionistas" will be there, as will porn stars and their entourages, such as Belladonna, Tera Patrick, Jenna Jameson, the delightful Casey Parker, and dozens of others. Each will either be signing at booths, roaming freely, or eating chicken fried steak on Gawker Media's goddamn dime. Erotica L.A. kicks off tomorrow night with the "Babes And Aces" charity poker tournament. - GP
