Another Players Ball is in the books.
First I'd like to give HUGE thanks to the ones that really made this whole thing possible.
Mobbucks - You guys were the first ones to step up and commit to another Players Ball, so thanks for the vote of confidence from the very beginning. I really enjoy your whole crew and appreciate what great marketers you guys are. I'm happy that I have become a Mobbucks family member.
SunnyDollars - I'm very happy to have you as a marketing client of mine and also very grateful you gave this Players Ball a try. For those that don't already know, SunnyDollars paid for Tone Loc to perform AND made the Wet T-Shirt competition possible. I'd have to say that for most people, the Wet T-Shirt competition and Tone Loc was their highlight of the party. That was "Sunny Dollars" well spent. For those that don't know, SunnyDollars offers just about every kind of site to convert your traffic and they pay out great money for that. Niche sites convert like a
DanzaBucks - Sorry you weren't able to make it to the party, it was a blast. Hope you get better soon from your injury. You got some great exposure and many plugs on the mic. Thanks again.
RealityCash - It's very nice to have you guys as a part of the Players Ball, your whole team absolutely rocks. The GFY support really makes the Players Ball what it is today, so I'll thank GFY in the RealityCash props as well.
And then we had another sponsorship level that took this Players Ball over the top:
DukeDollars - I'm very happy to have you as a sponsor of the Players Ball, you have a great program that webmasters should tryout (with hardcore traffic). You take pimpin' to another level, respect.
ArikaAmes - You were also an early supporter this time and I'm very happy to have had the opportunity to work with you and Newbreed. Your site kicks ass and so does Arika, super sweetheart of a person. Brains and beauty is a nice combo. I was shocked to see her in the Wet T-shirt competition, that definitely raised that group average higher. Arika and Tassy are both 10's.
HerbalRevenue - You made many dicks bigger during this event! Great having a great company like yours on the team. And thank you for sponsoring AGAIN.
Splitinfinity - Another San Diego Players Ball with Splitinfinity, your support was more then just the money, you brought some hotties! That includes your lovely wife. Chris is such a pimp, he had the majority of the Wet T-Shirt girls do the wild thing. Splitinfinity will also WAVE all set up fees for our Players Ball attendees if you're interested in trying out a dedicated with them. I have many friends hosting in their network and they are all super happy with them.
MixUnit - You're the first mainstream sponsor we've ever had! For those that don't know, MixUnit is a client of mine and they will be launching an affiliate program with licensed Mix Tape music. This is going to be a big money maker, so check that out and order some music, they have the best hip hop and reggae out there. MixUnit also sponsored a few samples of wax for our DJ Evan.
HotelHeiress - Thanks to Paris Hilton for making the HotelHeiress sponsorship happen. Without Paris sucking and fucking on film, there would never be a legit place to convert that sex tape video online. And while I'm thanking HH I'd like to thank our DJ who also happens to be an owner of that HH program, Evan from XPays. I've had Evan as my exclusive Players Ball DJ for several years now and everytime he gets the perfect vibe going that sets the tempo for this event. I also get a kick out of having one of our own as a performer mixed in with our legendary talent. Simple kicks. DJ Evan is the first webmaster to be major talent during these webmaster events. A pioneer!
OC3Networks - You guys are MONEY for stepping up and helping the Players Ball in the final days before the event. Sometimes we go over our budget and having the support of sponsors means the event pays for itself and your contribution did just that. I highly recommend people check out their hosting service because they have a very competitive price and a solid connection to 12 major backbones. And for those who don't know Caz, he's a super cool guy to hand with. Thanks again guys, I'm changing my name to just "D" because you're so "Money".
FREE BEER AND BBQ SPONSORED BY:
AnyWebCam - I'd have to say that without your contribution people would have left to go eat and miss the party. We had perfect timing on the BBQ, started at 5:30 pm and we had a big hungry crowd who greatly appreciated it. The food lasted most of the night too. The beer was also key because many webmasters got drunk and didn't have to spend a dime. AnyWebCam paid just as much as the main sponsors to make this happen so thanks again for stepping things up in a major way. I'm also very happy to consult for their affiliate program. After checking out their system of live web cams of real people with chat, I'm floored with their structure. It's free to sign up, no credit card needed, check it our for yourself, you might like it and become a paying member.
My other special thanks to the following people:
KB - my partner in crime. Thanks for your help as always.
Alien - the Players Ball designer, passes looked tight.
Earl the sound guy - best sound guy of all time, also did last years Cybernet Players Ball with Eek-A-Mouse and Shock G.
The Weather - Thank you for not raining on us. I'm now 1 for 3 in Players Balls that don't get rained on when scheduled outside. You did a fine job with that Tsunami warning, it created a fun buzz around this event.
Cybernet Expo - Always one of the greatest shows for webmasters to network and do real business. AVN shows suck these days so I'm very happy to attend and be a part of your fine trade show. LAJ & Fay are a pleasure to work with.
Sleazydream - your early mention of this being the best Players Ball yet during this party was very cool to hear. Every party promoter has a point in the evening when they feel it's going pretty good and getting your early feedback set me at ease early in the night.
NichePay Nadar - Your late night props made me feel just as good, thanks for the great feedback.
Tassy - Thanks for winning the Wet T-Shirt competition and G_d Damn girl! You and Halcyon looked great in your hotel robes as your outfits.
My wife, baby to be & 2 dogs - It was great having my whole family at a Players Ball. My wife is always my inspiration, so great having them at the party.
Half Pint & Dubcat - Half Pint delivered one of the best performances of all time. Dubcat is also as close as you can get to seeing Sublime perform. With members of Long Beach Dub Allstars and Hepcat, these guys are one of the best bands out there period.
And most of all I'd like to thank Jah, cause now I feel like a real rasta man after that dope Half Pint with Dubcat show.
