Frank
Michlick samples some of the delicacies laid
out at the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. opening night
cocktail party (Tuesday, June 8) held on the
19th floor of the show venue - the
Renaissance Vancouver Harbourside Hotel -
overlooking stunningly beautiful Coal Harbour
below.
While
a lot of Vancouver area domain investors turned
out for the show, one of the area's most legendary
industry pioneers, Garry Chernoff, was not
able to make it (if you don't know Garry, I can
sum up his credentials in these five words
- Garry was Frank
Schilling's mentor.) 'Nuff
said. Upon
learning that Garry would not be at the show, the
Castello
Brothers, David and Michael,
decided to follow the old axiom - "if
Mohammed can't come to the mountain, take the
mountain to Mohammed." As soon as the
brothers finished speaking at their Wednesday
morning T.R.A.F.F.I.C. seminar, they rented a
convertible and drove 250 miles east to visit Garry at
his home in the popular lakefront resort town of Penticton,
British Columbia.

Chernoff and David Castello getting
ready to
climb aboard Garry's helicopter for an aerial tour
of the scenic countryside and
canyons that surround Garry's home in Penticton,
British Columbia. Below:
View from inside the helicopter as it flies
through a canyon nearby. 
David
and Michael said they had a blast hanging out with
"The Cherminator" who is one of the
nicest people in the business (something that is
often said about Michael and David as well). I'll
have a number of other previously unpublished
photos and T.R.A.F.F.I.C. tidbits for you in our
upcoming review article. Before I get to that,
I'll be putting together a double length domain
sales report for you that will be out by Wednesday
night (June 16). Since I was away this past
week, the new report will detail sales for the
past two weeks, bringing you completely up to date
on what has happened in the aftermarket since our last
report.
