Big news coming Tuesday.
A domain name company acquisition will be announced on Tuesday. Check back then for the news.
Here’s a roundup of yesterday’s events at Domainer Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
First, a couple more observations:
Someone forgot to put in crosswalks in New Orleans…
If inflation gets out of control, I’m hedging my bet with cheap plastic beads. These things are a valuable currency…
Yesterday was the first full day of Domainer Mardi Gras. A number of people woke up a bit late (say, noon), but still the sessions had 50-75 people in them. I gave a summary of some of the 2009 Domain Name Wire survey results during lunch, and then spoke on a panel about going offshore (and why you should think twice before doing so) in the afternoon.
Around 5 pm people started heading over to one of two balconies Parked.com rented. There was dinner, an open bar, and – oh yeah – beads. Lots and lots of beads. If you want to envision a fun picture, think of your favorite domain lawyers, policy makers, and domainers tossing over a thousand beads to a drunk crowd below. Ron Jackson took lots of pictures. Apparently he had a hard time catching just the right picture, as he took pictures of the crowd for at least an hour 🙂
This morning most people met up at Court of Two Sisters for brunch.
Adam says
beads as currency ? Andrew was that you I heard yelling showmeyourboobs.com ?
Domainer says
With ppc revenue declining, Ron has to supplement his cashflow with his private detective business.
I’m not sure why he took pictures of the crowd all night long. Maybe, to find missing persons???
I’m sure it is not to blackmail anyone.
Maybe, for his next newsletter –
“Domainers Gone Wild”.

@ Domainer
“Blackmail” is such an ugly word…
I think Duke prefers “extortion” :p
Steven says
Sedo is making a signifigant announcement supposedly on Tuesday. I wonder if they are connected.
