Stop the Presses! Change of Plans for the Big Water Night Party at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Las Vegas
|
|
On
Monday
I told you about Water
Night - a special fundraising
party benefiting The
Water School that was going to get
underway at 9pm on the opening night (May 29) of
the 2013 T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Las Vegas conference that runs May
29 - June 1 at the Bellagio Hotel.
A minimum $50 donation was required for the
event that was going to follow T.R.A.F.F.I.C.'s
official opening night Cocktail Party.
|
There
has now been a change in plans.
Water Night has joined forces with
T.R.A.F.F.I.C to make it an official
show event and T.R.A.F.F.I.C. is
going to pay the $50 charge for every
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. registrant who wants
to go to the Water Night event (and that
should be ALL of them)! As part of
that change, the party - now dubbed the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
WaterNight Vegas Charity Party sponsored
by NameCheap - is being
shifted to Thursday night, May 30
with the same running time (9pm to 1am)
and the same location - the PBR Rock
Bar - just across the street from the
Bellagio. It
is important
to note that all T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
attendees still MUST sign up for
WaterNight at www.WaterNight.org
as everyone has to be on the separate
guest list to attend. In addition to
covering the minimum admission cost (you
can donate more to this worthy cause to
help them reach their $20,000 goal),
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. will |
|
|
pay
for the food and NameCheap
will cover the cost of the open bar and
entertainment to make sure every dollar
goes to The Water School. |
Non-domain
industry guests are also welcome with a
minimum donation amount, while all domain
industry guests must be paid T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
attendees and wear their badges to
the event.

By the way,
in case you missed our May
newsletter that was sent out
to opt-in
subscribers yesterday, it features a
special T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Las Vegas
preview interview with show
co-founders Rick Schwartz (who
celebrated a birthday yesterday)
and Howard Neu.
They talk
about why it has been 5 years since they
last ran a show in Las Vegas, what is in
store this time around and, in
something that will be of special interest
to many, why new gTLDs won't have a
high profile at this show. Check that out here. |

In
another related noted, you may
recall from my post
a couple of weeks ago the details of
Domaining
Spain conference
co-producer Jodi Chamberlain's successful
fundraising effort for The Water
School. Jodi allowed her long brown
hair to be shaved off in
exchange for donations to the
charity and wound up attracting
$35,000 in pledges.
The
Water School's blog has just
published Jodi's
own account of her
entire hair-raising (I mean
hair-lowering) and heart
warming experience in Spain.
Jodi's journey is not over either.
As she explains in the story, she
will be heading to Africa this
summer to see the Water School's
life saving work in person.
Check out her full story here. |
