That is Water
Night 2013, a special evening event
set up by domain business leaders Richard Lau
and Gregg
McNair, to benefit one of the
industry's favorite charities - the Water
School. Water
Night will run from approximately 9:30pm to 1:30am
on Tuesday night, February 5 at the rooftop
Sonoma Wine Garden located at 395 Santa
Monica Place.

There will be an
open bar sponsored by NameCheap.com
and entertainment guided by DJ
Tessa. Wristbands that can
be purchased here for a tax
deductible $50 per person donation to the
Water School will be required for admission
and 100% of every dollar donated will go
to the charity.
You
do not have to be registered for Webfest
Global to attend, but if you are attending the
conference, you won't even have to leave the
building to get to the Water Night event.
Webfest's official opening night dinner and
networking reception on February 5 will be
held at the La Sandia and Zengo restaurants
that are located on the same 3rd floor level
as the Sonoma Wine Garden at Santa Monica Place.
The dinner starts at 7pm and is scheduled to be
over by 10, when you can walk just a few steps
over to the Water Night festivities at the Wine
Garden.
It
will be a great opportunity to meet key
industry players you may not have had a
chance to meet before as well as catch up with
old friends in a casual environment. Legendary
domain investor Frank Schilling and his
DomainNameSales.com team are among those who
have already signed up. Of course, my wife Diana
and I will be there as well. Since I sacrificed
my hair in another Water School fundraiser last
spring in Spain I feel like I'll be
safe from Mr. McNair, the Mad Barber from
Melbourne, Australia, this time around.

While I may
be out of harm's way, my good friend Jodi
Chamberlain, who produces the Domaining
Spain conference, is not.
Jodi has courageously volunteered to give
up her lovely brunette locks if $50,000
can be raised for the Water School before
the next Domaining Spain conference ends April
27, 2013 in Valencia. It is
still early, but it is already looking like
Jodi had better get used to the bald
look because Nico Zeifang, Stefan Wiegard
and Mario Witte of ParkingCrew.com
threw a $10,000 donation into the
pot this week to help make it
happen.
You
can support Jodi and the donor's generous
efforts to help the Water School by going
to WaterShave.org
to make a donation (every dollar counts!)
and you can also track the progress of the
campaign there. If it is successful we may
have to start a new campaign to buy Jodi a
wig! |
