Here's the The Lowdown from DN Journal,
updated daily
to fill you in on the latest buzz going around the domain name industry.

Why a Webcast from New Jersey May Be This Weekend's Best Show and What Ari Goldberger Has to Do With It

If you have been in the domain business for anything length of time, you know Ari Goldberger (or know he is). Ari, whose fascinating life story was told in a June 2006 DNJournal Cover Story, is one of the industry's leading attorneys (as well as a very successful domain investor/developer, most recently represented by his MD.com and Songs.com sites), who has won many landmark cases involving top tier domain names.   

Though he has been an entrepreneur since he was a kid, business, in terms of his priorities, has always taken a back seat to his family. He is somewhat famous for pulling out all the stops for major life events involving his wife Sharon or their kids. 

Last year in this column, when Monkees lead singer Davy Jones passed away, I told you about a surprise birthday party Ari threw for Sharon in 2006. Sharon loves monkeys (the animal variety), but since safety (and, I would

conference (5/30/13)

assume, local ordinances) made it unwise to turn any of those loose at the party, Ari actually hired Davy Jones to come and sing! He wound up both performing and hanging out with the guests in an event that lives on in this YouTube video.

This weekend the Goldberger family will be celebrating another big event - their son Josh's bar mitzvah - and, while there is no telling what Ari has in store, it is a virtual certainty that it will be over the top. That being the case, and with a number of Goldberger's domain industry friends also converging in Cherry Hill, New Jersey for the festivities, we will also be going to cover it for you and to share this milestone event with a longtime friend of both ours and the industry's at large. 

Just one indication of how big Ari's plans are is the website he has set up at JoshGoldberger.com. There you can actually watch the entire evening LIVE on the web - starting with the bar mitzvah ceremony at 5:30pm U.S. 

Eastern time Saturday (June 15 - hence the James Bond inspired Agent 0615 graphic in the site's logo above and the 007 music that will greet you when you arrive at the site). 

After the bar mitzvah ceremony, guests will make the short trip from the synagogue to the nearby Westin Mount Laurel Hotel where the celebration will continue until who knows when. The answers will be forthcoming - in the meantime Mazel Tov to the Goldberger family!
