From
the Night Shift: More News About the Upcoming
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. New York Conference & Free Passes to
a Pair of of Appealing Webinars Sorry
for the late post today.
A
family member from the west coast (Diana's niece)
visited us a couple of weeks ago and borrowed one of our
cars. Unfortunately, en route to where she was going she
got involved in a 16-car pile-up and totaled our SUV.
Amazingly, no one was hurt and for that we are all very
thankful. After receiving the insurance settlement today
we spent the entire day visiting various dealerships
before settling on a replacement - an Infiniti FX35 that
we finally returned home with tonight (many hours later
than I expected to be back). Glad I don't have to go
through the tedious car buying process very
often! |

Many
bits of news and information came in while I was out
including two new announcements related to the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
New York conference coming up later this month
(October 26-29 at the Brooklyn Bridge Marriott).
Rick Latona Auctions released the initial
catalog for their live domain auction that
will run from 4:30-7:00pm (U.S. Eastern time) on
Tuesday, October 27. They have put together a very
impressive list, including Bananas.com, Bourbon.com,
BroadwayShows.com, Dancing.com, GolfClubs.com,
Rio.com, SM.com and Tacoma.com to
name just a few.
Also,
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. organizers sent out an email offering a
special "night pass" for the New York
show that is available for $995 (half the rate of the
standard $1,995 registration fee). The night pass provides
entry to the Opening Night Cocktail Party, Rick Latona
Live Auction, Moniker.com Live Auction (plus free
cocktails at both auctions), the Exhibit Hall after 4PM,
and the official Skenzo Show Party at Touch
(including Limo transportation).
