2008 XRCO AWARDS LOCATION ANNOUNCED

For Immediate Release:  March 6th, 2008

The X-Rated Critics Organization is pleased to announce the time and location for the 24th XRCO Awards

On Wednesday April 30th porn’s biggest stars will gather to celebrate the very best the adult industry has to offer.

The new location for the XRCO Awards is The Highlands Nightclub inside the Hollywood and Highland Complex. The H&H Complex is the home of Kodak Theater where mainstream Hollywood gathers to hand out the Oscars®.  After years at the Century Club the XRCO moved last year to Forbidden City.  The search has been ongoing for a location to become the new home for the annual award extravaganza.  The Highlands Nightclub seems to fit that bill.

“I'm thrilled to be a part of taking the XRCO to the next level,” revealed Dirty Bob - XRCO Co-Chairman.  “The XRCO began in 1984 and this will be our 24th Annual XRCO Awards Show.  While our old location, the Century Club, suited our purpose for many years, it is apparent and obvious that we, and the industry, have outgrown such a venue. This new location is simply awesome and is ideal for our industry-only event.”

Along with a new location for the XRCO Awards, 2008 marks the unveiling of a brand new logo for the organization.  A call went out for a new logo and hundreds of professional and semi-pro graphic designers sent in submissions.  The winning logo was designed by Goliath Graffix a design firm located in Pasadena, CA.  Goliath's winning entry will serve as the backdrop for photo ops on the red carpet at this year's awards and can be seen along with their other impressive portfolio at GoliathGraffix.com or BecomeAGiant.com.

This year’s XRCO Awards are hosted by two of adult’s most stunning women, Gina Lynn and Carmen Hart.  Gina is a star performer, director, feature dancer, owner of Gina Lynn Productions and past XRCO nominee as Orgasmic Oralist.  Carmen is a contract star for Wicked Pictures and is considered to be an up and coming superstar.  Both women are looking forward to the experience of working together.

“I am very excited about hosting the XRCO Awards,” said Gina. “The voting members represent a wide range of critics from print to the internet and the winners truly reflect the best of the best.  I am proud to be co-hosting and thrilled to be standing so close to Carmen Hart all night long.”
