JRL Fans and producers around the globe, the 11th Annual GayVN Award Show kicks off at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco, CA on Thursday March 26, 2009.The last time the GayVN Awards Celebration took place at the Castro Theatre was when the spectacular television sensation Kathy Griffin hosted the event back at the 9th Annual GayVN Awards show.
Mega pay per view outlet Nakedsword.com is the official sponsor for the 2009 event and will be hosting a 3-day weekend of events which includes the Big Game "The show known as the Official Gay Oscars of Gay Porn".
Nakedsword.com/AEBN Network is one of the largest outlets for studios and performers on the web and according to Nakedsword CEO Tim Valenti, "We have a winning playbook filled wth exciting ways to stimulate consumers while celebrating our industry friends.

Valenti continued..."We look forward to turning the GayVN's into an anticipated annual event in San Francisco for years to come. We are revved up and ready to take all the action to the streets."
I grabbed this from the official schedule for the 11th Annual GayVN Awards program: The kick-off event will be an industry party sponsored by Unzipped Media on Thursday, March 26. Tickets will cost $50 and all proceeds will go to benefit ASACP.
On Friday, March 27th, the bars of San Francisco's Castro District will host the biggest studios and nominees of the year for a giant tailgate party that only NakedSword and the Stop AIDS Project (www.stopaids.org) could orchestrate. From bar to bar the boys will be stiffer than the drinks, spilling out into the streets to welcome consumers to share in the excitement of the night.

Fans will be able to mingle with their favorite players, from MVPs to rookies! Before the Big Game kicks off, join Tim and Roma for a live taping of The Tim & Roma Show at a pre-show brunch, Saturday, March 28, starting at 11am.
All proceeds from the brunch will benefit the StopAIDS Project, proving a great way to support the community as we gear up for the Main Event. That evening, the entire weekend of events will come to a head with the Big Game, the 11th Annual GAYVN Awards Show.
Be at the Castro Theatre at 7 p.m. for a night of glitz and glamour with the gAy-List of the gay porn industry. After the razzle-dazzle of the show, join us for Homecoming, the exclusive official after-party presented by NakedSword. Homecoming will begin at 10 p.m. immediately following the awards show.
