Scenes and highlights from day two of the Targeted Traffic conference in Las Vegas.
Yesterday was certainly an interesting one at the TRAFFIC Conference. The best moment of the conference was seeing how packed the auction room was for the start of the live auction. I haven’t seen that many buyers at a live auction in a long time. Unfortunately, we all know now that it took a turn for the worse as Latonas.com auction system was overburdened by traffic, bringing it to a halt. After about an hour of the auction, Rick Latona decided to postpone the auction until Saturday morning. The auction is now live at Proxibid.com/latona.
I had a cameo on the UDRP review panel in the afternoon, as five of us made the case for which UDRP was the worse decision of 2009. I chose OpenDental.com. You can read more about the 10 worst UDRPs of 2009 at UDRPWallofShame.com.
In the evening, attendees headed over to Gold at the new City Center for an evening of drinks.
One of my highlights at the conference has been meeting poker player Dutch Boyd. After hanging at Gold for a couple hours, Dutch convinced me and a couple others to lose a game of poker to him. We headed down to the poker room, where he showed off a couple of his chip tricks (not bad after downing several drinks).

Dutch Boyd says
LOL. Just so you know, Andrew, I didn’t walk away from that game a winner. I think I was personally down $20 and then Michele was down $60… chicks are expensive.
We’re skipping today… all conferenced out, but it was really cool hanging with you Andrew. I’m glad we got to meet.
Andrew Allemann says
@ Dutch – yeah, I ran into Howard Hoffman later today and he told me he ended up with most of the pot.
