This day started very well and ended even better…….

The booths were pretty crazy this year with one vendor even giving out warm fuzzy bunny slippers!!!

Glad to see some old friends and meet some new ones!!!

The party at Tao given by Webmasterradio.fm and was very nice however I think the crowd was quite disgruntled when they had to start paying for their own drinks after an hour!!! I guess we were all spoiled from Affiliate Summit In Miami….

We did however get to meet some of the Blue Men from Blue Man Group……..See pics

After some drinking and networking-headed out to O’Sheas casino with a new friend from FatWallet and even met some new contacts there-It is pretty hilarious how many drunk people on the strip are interested in the Internet Marketing Industry….

Well more later……….

Hello All!!!

Well I just arrived in Vegas a few hours ago for Affiliate Summit and had the pleasure of attending the Affiliate Meet Market…..A Great little get together and plenty of reputable companies that were exhibiting……

Strolled on down to the Shareasale party and boy what a popular party this was!!! It was located in the Palms Hotel in the Villa Suites…….There was about 50 people at any given time trying to snaggle their way in without passes…….Pure Madness!!!
Once inside I was very delighted to see this suite….It was amazing!!! Beats the Real World Suite in a heartbeat!!!!

I will post some picture I took inside and will post tomorrow!!

Well I better get a little rest as there is much more to do tomorrow!

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day and with the upcoming in Affiliate Summit that is in Vegas I thought it was interesting that Yahoo and Dr. Pepper have launched a campaign to all those who want to tie the knot in Vegas on this fateful day….

What do you get out of it?? Well. lets see the chance to be married by a singing Elvis, your event hosted by the endearing Pauly Shore and the chance to be seen by millions of people of people because the event will be streamed live…..EEEE Gads!!!

For this event also, “Yahoo built a microsite and prepared keyword, banner and rich media buys surrounding February 14. Dr. Pepper will take over Yahoo’s homepage on February 15.”

Check out all the Madness HERE……

It is that time of year again for one of the best conferences in the Online Industy...

AFFILIATE SUMMIT is back!!!!

Please visit PSM Blog for all the latest Affiliate Summit News and Tips!!

This Year as in most winters the Festivities will Be Held at The Rio All Suites Hotel

The Hotel is a wee bit off the strip, but the rooms are a decent size and the do have on of my favorite places to dine there…

Check out the SEAFOOD BUFFETT where for under $40 bucks you will be treated to a fabulous array of seafood goodies that are fresh and abundant

So we all know that Affiliate Summit is coming up in just a few weeks…….So what is one to do in their spare time in Miami??? Well, speaking from experience, there are maybe just a few things to do Here are some of my favs:

THE DELANO-1685 Collins Avenue Miami Beach, FL

With its shiek decor and faboulous drinks-The Delano is a place you dont want to miss!! Its off the beaten path a bit as its north of South Beach but it is definelty worth the hike…Your senses will be amazed from everything from their sushi bar to their pool that feels like you are ice skating on glass……..

THE CLEVELANDER-1020 Ocean Drive Miami Beach

Ok I will admit, as cheesy as this place is-I always must stop in when I come to Miami. It has something for everything-Live Band, naked men and women, strong drinks….And the best part is its FREE to get in!!! Get there early though as this is a hot spot and gets crowded rather quickly….

MANGO’S-900 Ocean Ave Miami Beach

Again this place is right on the strip but it is full of culture and screams MIAMI to me….The have the best SANGRIA you can get and the best Latin dancing around….

I shall add more places every couple of days to check out…….OLE!
