I want to thank everyone for coming out to dinner last night, and I would like to give a special thanks to Domain Capital for surprising us all and picking up the tab. It was very nice of them to “quietly” and unexpectedly sponsor the dinner, and we are all appreciative.
The turnout of 23 was strong despite the poor weather, and we had a good chance to network with others in the industry. We had a diverse group involved in all aspects of the domain industry, which made for good conversation. Even nicer was that I had the chance to network with people I didn’t know before the dinner, and I expect to stay in touch. We work in a small industry, and it’s nice to have an opportunity to socialize with like minded people who live in the same area.
Details about the next get together will be posted soon. If you would like to be added to the list, please let me know. Thank you again to those who came to dinner and to Domain Capital.
You know Traffic started with a group of Florida friends having breakfast. Watch out Rick, Oversee and Domain Roundtable- Elliot is well on the way to becoming the domain emperor.
Let me know when your first event is 🙂

No way… 🙂
Although I was not in NYC last night…
I would be very interested in starting a monthly/quarterly tradition in the Southeast. Possibly Savannah/Jacksonville/Charleston area? I’m sure Atlanta would produce better results/turn-out, but is also 4 hours from me. If anyone is interested, let me know.
I really enjoyed meeting everyone at the Domainer Dinner last night. Thanks to Elliot for organizing the event and Domain Capital for the generous gesture. I look forward to the next get together.
Sounds like I missed a good one. At least I was preaching the gospel of domains to people here at an SEO conference….
It was a great event. I enjoyed meeting everybody, and I’m looking forward to the next meeting.
Thank you Elliot, and thank you Domain Capital!
Bag of After Dinner Mints: $3.00
Cab ride there: $9.00
Broiled Mahi Mahi: $23.00
Accepting the fact that I’m not crazy — because yes, there are others who are also obsessed with these dot come things: PRICELESS!
…an’ you’ll be including a “live dinner audio/video feed” for us “live elsewhere” folks when, Elliot? 😉
Had a great time and was pleased to meet some great folks. Big thanks to Elliot for organizing the dinner and to Greg Freeman for picking up the tab. Looking forward to next time.
oh &@$t Elliot with the chance of a free meal I predict your next dinner will draw 125 🙂
Elliot, thanks for organizing the event. It was great seeing old friends, meeting new people and talking “shop” on a cold rainy night in NYC.

Nice to meet you, too! Don’t forget to lock up that name I told you about!
I would be interested in attending if there is a future NYC domainer dinner. It would be great to meet some fellow domainers in the tri state area.
