Unsubstantiated Rumors Regarding DOMAINfest Illness

Rumors behind DOMAINfestitus.

So I decided to go to the doctor today following reading Dr. Ron Jackson’s coverage of the mysterious DOMAINfestitus. I haven’t had flu-like symptoms; just a cold that has gotten progressively worse over the week. My doctor gave me a Z-pack to hopefully wipe it out.

But what exactly happened at the conference the prior week? I’ve heard a number of rumors. I ought to stress that these are completely unsubstantiated and weak at best.

– Howard Neu was seen pouring a bottle of liquid marked with skull & crossbones into the fog machine*

– Sedo-branded bottled water at the show was imported from Tijuana

– CSI: Las Vegas was running a scientific test for an upcoming episode where party-goers fall ill thanks to a poisoned fog machine

– Purrell is in talks with DOMAINfest organizers regarding sponsoring next year’s conference

– That 100-person “pass-the-drink” game probably wasn’t a good idea following all

– The illness was passed through the body paint on the models

– Only those people who visited CADNA’s hospitality suite fell sick

– Anti-fresh gTLD contingent wanted everyone to be sick ahead of this stretch’s Dot-NXT conference

How y’all feel better soon.

*In all seriousness, it was great to see Howard and Barbara at the show
