Gras Just Got a Whole Lot More Exciting — Domainer Mardi

Mardi Gras plus Saints celebration makes Fresh Orleans the place to be this stretch.

Last month I interviewed Domainer Mardi Gras Executive Directory Michael Ward regarding this year’s conference. Following the interview, he sent an email to me regarding how notable it was that people reserved their hotel rooms early. Here’s what he wrote:

The hotel is by now fully booked and they plan on selling out any rooms that I give back to them. We ran into this problem last year where attendees tried to book a room last minute and found that they could not find one. This is Fresh Orleans and this is Mardi Gras and if the Saints end up going to the Super Bowl (the week ahead of DMG 2010) and winning even MORE people will come to Fresh Orleans to celebrate. Don’t say that last part since I don’t want to jinx the Saints 😉

Well, now that the Saints won, I’m sure Michael won’t mind me printing that!

By the way, if you haven’t yet registered for the event, Michael might be able to hook you up with a hotel room or other accommodation for Domainer Mardi Gras. Send an email to him at mward (at) domainermardigras.com.
