Nikki Delano: "... Most vividly I remember girls making out and Ron Jeremy banging girls in the bathroom. It's like a huge fraternity party and an orgy rolled into one."
Dirty Bob: "... Picture an entire section of seats in the Buccaneers' stadium filled with adult personalities like Jenna Jameson and Kylie Ireland. The TV and jumbotron cameras kept coming back to us — with emphasis on Jenna and Ron, who had taken off his shirt because it was so hot."
Chanel Preston: "My wildest memory is making 3 a.m. IHOP runs every night and smelling like cigarettes from spending all night at strip clubs. For some reason those two things equate to having a great time. If you don't think IHOP is sexy, then you haven't gone there with a porn star."
James Bartholet: "Last year my birthday landed on the weekend of the NightMoves pool party. They brought out a giant boob cake with sparklers on the — well, you can imagine where two sparklers would be on a giant boob cake ... Then someone, I think it was Annie Cruz, screamed 'Birthday Spankings!' Before I knew it, I had five girls tugging my pants down and spanking me in front of everyone!"
Lelu Love: "Between riding on the party bus next to Ron Jeremy, girls losing their pants at the club, and signing my very first autographs last year for the amazing fans, there was NEVER a dull moment!"
Dirty Bob: "In 1995, we were doing an appearance at a new video store, or so we were told, in Sarasota. It turned out the store was a set-up. Some of our stars were busted and jailed for posing for Polaroids with undercover cops who asked for topless photos ... The really memorable part was sitting around for eight hours, waiting for Tracy Allen, Kim Chambers and a few others to be released from jail ... We felt frightened, angered, drained, tired, cheated — an entire gamut of emotions came out. When it was over we all agreed that it was an incredible bonding experience."
Vicky Vette: "The first NightMoves I ever went to was 2003 or 2004. I was very new to the industry and had never been to Tampa. I was up on stage and took my top off. I was so happy, cheering and shaking my boobies all over the place — I had no idea there was a pasty law."
Carmen Valentina: "I'll never forget my first NightMoves show! I got to meet and hang out with some of the same people I had been lusting after on screen. I was running around shooting scenes for Blow by Wicked Pictures during the day, and meeting the fans at the signings at night. It was crazy busy but well worth it. I can't wait for the next one!"
Prinzzess Felicity Jade: "... Pictures I have from NightMoves would have my Facebook deleted ... This year promises to be even better as I am hosting the award show and will be feature dancing every night.
Tony Batman: "During my first campaign for DJ of the Year, I had my mom — god rest her soul — print out hundreds of ballots and take them with her to work every day ... We literally had hundreds and hundreds of ballots and I lost to the guy at Class Act ... Come to find out the people at the club were writing my DJ name and the people at all the 7-11s were putting "Tony" … The next year we did it again, only this time when we printed the ballots out we typed in my name ... I won the next two years in a row."

In the three years I've covered the NightMoves Awards Show weekend in October, I've lounged in a nudist resort's pool filled with porn stars, I've gone thong shopping with Chanel Preston, I've taken shots with Ron Jeremy, I've been invited to a late-night love-fest at the Waffle House, and I've been offered platonic hand-jobs from Katie Summers.
In honor of the awards show turning 20 this October, here are some of the wildest memories of partying in Tampa directly from the dirty mouths of the performers who make the weekend so memorable. (Note: Some of the quotes have been edited for brevity.)
