Domain Name News: “BREAKING ! Playboy Mansion Returns to DomainFest”

---

BREAKING ! Playboy Mansion Returns to DomainFest Posted: 01 Apr 2014 02:41 PM PDT The exact location of the Stone Temple Pilots concert/party this evening at Domainfest has been shrouded in secrecy since the launch of the show.  DNN was tipped off by conference organizers that the party will take place at the famous Playboy Mansion.   Conference attendees have been dying to know where this party is and have missed the big party since the departure from the famed “Legionnaires” outbreak in 2011. Party-goers at this event will enjoy the return of the “good old days” of domain parties in addition to Stone Temple Pilots.  Daniel Negari, CEO of .xyz and sponsor of the party was instrumental in making this happen.  Negari told us “Being a huge Playboy fan and STP fan, I was stoked to be able to sponsor this awesome party.” Organizers have assured us that there will be an environmentally friendly bubble created exclusively for attendees. Hazmat washdown stations will be placed on the outside of the mansion to insure the safety of all attendees.
