Congrats thread for D-Money on the 10th Anniversary of The Players Ball...
 

We first met when we were both freshmen in this biz (fuckin' A, how times flies) - a decade later and we're both still standing (minus the thick hair).

Longevity in this business is all about perseverance and adapting to change - and anyone that is still standing since the mid-90's has proven that they've got it.

Thanks for the memories and congratulations to you and your lady - here's to another 10 years Mr. Pimp... :pimp

Congrats D-Money!! The Players Ball is always something I look forward to at shows :thumbsup

Woo! Grats man

The players ball kicks ass every show. i've gone to shows in the past just to attend the Ball ... congrats on 10 years

Pimp Pimp Hooray!

Nice post Alec!

Congrats D... you have done such an amazing job and you manage to do it so well dressed so I give you props. :)

Many people don't know this, but D$'s first Player's Ball was held at my college in Bridgeport, Connecticut in the 80's :Oh crap

that is some SERIOUS longevity! Any pics fo D$ with a mullet floating out there?


CONGRATS!

D$ and the players ball rock :)

Congrats to the biggest O.G. in the game! :pimp

Thanks Alec! It's hard to believe it's been 10 years of just my Players Balls. I was doing parties for WebSideStory for a year or 2 before that. Hard to believe I've been doing it for this long.

Luckily, we've always had sponsors paying the bills.

The people through the years change, the business models of our industry changes, the only thing that has stayed the same is the Players Ball vibe. I can honestly say that we always have the right artists, venue and vibe. Oh yeah, and I always have a nice outfit to wear with a pimp hat at every Players Ball.

My core group that have helped me through the years are:

My wife Jennifer, KB, King Adam, DJ Evan from XPays, J$tyle$ and the Gnomes. So huge thanks to them for their support over the last 10 years!

Also, big thanks to the trade shows over the years:
IA2000, Internext, XBiz, Webmaster Access, AEE and Cybernet Expo

I'm excited to see where the road ahead takes this event.

i'm never helping you again

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::1orglaugh

Shit, I can't sit and name everyone, there would be way too many to include. But I narrowed it down to anyone who has helped for more then 5 Players Balls. We are talking about a 10 year span here!

But the eye candy you made for me and those 2 Players Ball's you were a DJ for, rocked!!!

So thanks again...

great memories, Player Ball has helped my sex life :)

Congrats to D-Money and Helmy!!!!

Both great outstanding and successful guys!

I remember the IA2000 Players Ball. First time I met the infamous D$ :) Congratulations on 10 years of making it happen.

I never had a mullet! I did grown a tail once when I was 10 though.

Thanks for all the Hard Work that you do behind the scenes D-Money. :thumbsup

I've only been in the industry a few years but you are right when you say that everything in the business changes but The Players Ball has stayed the same.... a true highlight of every show :pimp

Congrats on your 10 Year Anniversary D-Money and here's to the next 10!!
