"Be a part of the 2nd annual Urban X Awards, at Blvd 3 in Hollywood California on Sunday July 26th, 2009. The only show of its kind, this event celebrates all aspects of urban erotica. This event will be taped live. The show will have live entertainment, audience participation, red-carpet entrance, V.I.P seating and an after party, as well as the most influential names in urban and ethnic adult movies. The Urban X Awards (UXAs) was created to honor all producers, directors, talent, agencies and companies who have worked hard throughout the year to produce the best ethnic adult content for you to enjoy. The Urban X Awards will celebrate and showcase the achievements of Black, Latin, Asian and Interracial productions."

Drama: will Gia J. be "ethnic" enough to attend with her COD? If there's a tussle, will she have to state bona fides of IR? Will Tritone, cooling his heels in the foyer vouchsafe for her attendance? Will gunfire ensue?

So it's like normal porn awards ceremony except no whitey is allowed. I like the idea.

I shot the Urban X Awards (then called Urban Spice Awards) last year for AVN. Photographing it again this year. There was so much to see; so much to shoot.

Is it sponsored by Popeye's and Nehi?
