A
scene from Friday night's opening event at the Boca
Raton Concours d'Elegance -
a Dupont Registry Hangar Party at Boca
Aviation (Feb. 25, 2011)
At
Friday night's opening event, a DuPont
Registry Hangar Party at Boca Aviation,
guests could go inside the private jets and get
an up close and personal look at some of the
world's rarest and most valuable cars while also
enjoying an open bar and food samples served by
local restaurants.
Above:
A super rare Lamborghini (one of only 20
made)
inspired by fighter jet aircraft, drew a steady
stream of admirers.
Below:
A collection Indy 500 race cars was also
on display
as part of a 100th Anniversary tribute to the
great race.
Above:
Diana Jackson was among those admiring
the Tesla electric roadsters on display.
Below:
Inside the hangar, a wall to wall crowd
enjoyed delectable food samples
served by dozens of area restaurants. Tickets
for the 3-hour event were just $50,
making it one of the year's great entertainment
bargains.

The Concours
d'Elegance continues tonight (Feb. 26)
with a gala dinner that Jay Leno will
preside over. However, with tickets for
that affair priced at $500 and $1,000 each
it looks like we will be going out to a
movie instead! We will be at the main
event - Sunday's big classic car show
at the Boca Raton Resort though.
I'll have some photos from that for you on
Monday.
In
the photo at right, Bianka Krausch (ModelStore.com),
back on her feet and glowing just weeks
after giving birth to her and Chad
Folkening's second son,
modeled the show's official program and a
Concours souvenir hat for us. |

I have
one other photo to share with you this weekend. David
Castello sent us the shot below from a
luncheon held at the 3rd International
Internet Marketing & Domaining
conference that ended Friday (Feb. 25) in Punta
del Este, Uruguay. David and his
brother Michael (seated 2nd and 3rd in
the second row) of Castello
Cities Internet Network were the
keynote speakers for the event - South America's
biggest domain conference. David and Michael
were interviewed by Uruguayan TV at the event,
part of their continuing mission to spread the
domain gospel worldwide.
