Here’s a roundup of yesterday’s events at Domainer Mardi Gras in Fresh Orleans.

First, a couple more observations:

Someone forgot to put in crosswalks in Fresh Orleans…

If inflation gets out of control, I’m hedging my bet with cheap plastic beads. These things are a valuable currency…

Yesterday was the first full day of Domainer Mardi Gras. A number of people woke up a bit late (say, noon), but still the sessions had 50-75 people in them. I gave a summary of some of the 2009 Reglike survey results during lunch, and then spoke on a panel regarding going offshore (and why you ought to think twice ahead of doing so) in the afternoon.

Around 5 pm people started heading over to one of two balconies Parked.com rented. There was dinner, an open bar, and – oh yeah – beads. Lots and lots of beads. If you want to envision a fun picture, think of your favorite domain lawyers, policy makers, and domainers tossing over a thousand beads to a drunk crowd below. Ron Jackson took lots of pictures. Apparently he had a hard time catching just the right picture, as he took pictures of the crowd for at least an hour 🙂

This morning most people met up at Court of Two Sisters for brunch.
