The moment has finally arrived...

Yes, yes y'all... it is finally here. You've heard us talking about it for the past couple of weeks... for the 8th year in a row, the Open Session squad will be covering Erotica LA this weekend at the Los Angeles Convention Center, June 12-14.

Be sure to tune in starting this Monday for the return of our weekly segment "Getting to Know Your Pornstars" for more of the hijinks and hilarity you've come to know and love from Open Session.

Take a look at the uncensored/video version of the Riley Steele interview, check it out:

X more days

Rated-X... yessir. Of course, X means 10 in Roman numerals, and that X marks that special spot in my heart as Erotica LA at the Los Angeles Convention Center draws near in 10 days. If you haven't marked your calendars yet, I presume you do not have any calendars handy.

In the meantime, enjoy the uncensored/video version of our Sasha Grey interview:

Zack & Miri couldn't make a porno without her...

Hope you all enjoyed the Memorial Day weekend!!! In preparation for our upcoming Erotica LA coverage and the return of "Getting to Know Your Pornstars", here's the uncensored/video version of our interview with Katie Morgan, who also played Stacy in the blockbuster hit "Zack & Miri Make a Porno".

It's Cummin'

That's right, the Erotica LA edition of "Getting to Know Your Pornstars" makes a return to Open Session on 6/15!!!
Until then, here's the uncensored/video version of our Jana Jordan interview:

The Countdown Begins

That's right folks... in a month from now, the Open Session crew will be making their 8th annual appearance for Erotica LA at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Be on the lookout for the return of the "Getting to Know Your Pornstars" segment on Open Session.
