Auction Thursday afternoon
(Feb. 3, 2011) at the DOMAINfest Global
conference in Santa Monica, California.

auctioneer in the business, directs the sale.
Shortly
after the auction ended, DOMAINfest Global
guests boarded a fleet of buses that took them
to the world famous Playboy Mansion for
the show's grand finale - a gala party
that doubled as a fund-raising event for Jenny
McCarthy's Generation Rescue Autism Foundation.
Hundreds
of donated silent auction items were
scattered across the
Playboy Mansion's spacious grounds. Above
you see a few of them in the
foreground with guests in the pool and grotto
area in the background.
No
visit to the Playboy Mansion would be
complete without Bunnies and they
were
there in abundance. Above guests Mary Danna
& Kevin Daste (2nd and 3rd from
left)
are welcomed by two lovely rabbit-eared ladies
representing the iconic brand.
It
was a chilly night at the Holmby Hills mansion,
but a giant party tent on the estate's
east lawn served as a warm central gathering
area of the hundreds of guests on hand.
Faces
in the crowd included one of the world's top
domain attorneys,
Dr. John Berryhill, seen above with
fellow guest Diana Jackson.
Oversee.net's
DOMAINfest Global team, led by President and CEO
Jeff Kupietzky, did another fabulous
job with the 2011 event. If you missed our daily

We
will also be producing a more detailed show
review article in the next week or so after
returning to our home base in Florida. Ths
year's review will have a special twist
that
I think will be of special interest to everyone
in the industry.
