NakedSword Teams Heads to L.A. for Cybersocket Awards Coverage

SAN FRANCISCO—NakedSword.com is packing up its videographers, bloggers, and in-house personalities for what promises to be a 24-hour odyssey of live event coverage and original content production in Los Angeles today. Beginning in the afternoon, producers of The Tim & Roma Show will be scouring West Hollywood’s Ramada Plaza Hotel seeking porn stars and industry heavyweights to interview for a special upcoming episode of The Tim & Roma Show. Following that, the entire NakedSword team will converge upon West Hollywood’s Factory Nightclub, where Tim and Roma themselves will host the official Cybersocket Awards Red Carpet. Buttressing Tim and Roma on the red carpet and assisting in video production will be NakedSword’s newest asset, porn star Chris Porter. Additionally, TheSword.com’s editor-in-chief, Zachary Sire, will be on hand to photograph and live-tweet every sex and alcohol-fueled detail of the night. “We are thrilled to be doing the Cybersocket Awards, presented by Epoch, for the 11th year in a row,” said Cybersocket co-founder Morgan Sommer. “Tim and Roma are a tradition on the red carpet and elicit the best and hottest commentary from the stars. I expect the usual shenanigans to be going on—what do you think is going to happen when you get 800-plus sexually charged porn stars and fans together?” Red carpet co-host Sister Roma expressed similar excitement: “I am looking to stir up some serious shit at the Cybersocket Awards this year. I mean, let’s face it—I already won Best Personality at the GayVNs, so I don't have to be nice any more. The satin opera-length gloves are coming off, and it's not going to be pretty! You've been warned!” In addition to covering the awards from top to bottom, NakedSword also enjoys the distinct honor of being nominated for Cybersocket awards in multiple categories, including Best VOD, Best Megasite, Best Business Person of the Year (for CEO Tim Valenti), and Best Porn Blog for TheSword.com, where all of the reportage will end up in the immediate hours and days following the ceremony. “I can’t wait to be in such close proximity to all of the gorgeous gay porn stars, directors, studio heads and fellow bloggers whom I’ve pissed off in the past year,” said TheSword’s Zachary Sire. “I’m literally over the moon.” For up-to-the-minute coverage from the red carpet, the awards ceremony, the after parties and more, follow TheSword’s Twitter feed at Twitter.com/theswordcom and keep refreshing TheSword.com for full photo galleries and videos following the big show on Monday, Feb. 7.
