Sorry, not this year... back in 2014 though...

I would have to say TRAFFIC West, Unfortunately, it hasn't been around in over a decade now... Some great memories from my last TRAFFIC West event at the bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas in 2014. In the first pic on DN Journal at the 2014 link, I'm the guy in the black vest with the black ball-cap on (Before I grew my beard out)

I miss TRAFFIC West...

I actually didn't take any selfies, but there's several photos floating around in cyberspace of me at that event...

For kicks, here's a few of those... pretend I have a FULL beard..
Ironically, one of the pics has a .Buzz rep in it and I recently analyzed that gTLD here: https://www.namepros.com/threads/buzz-gtld-generic-top-level-domain.1372395/

Ok... Back on topic, who attended a 2025 event and has a story or pics to share?​

I was talking about the reaction pictures you post, they're funny and this is like the 5th one I've seen of you in that same spot. Also the beard definitely suits you!

22 different reactions so far in my collection, but I create more as I go (When applicable)...

OMG, I love this black punk rock (am I right?) style look! Are you still rocking that vibe?

You just reminded me, I should definitely write this question down, burn it to ashes, and ask a few people for their opinions.

(idk, at least, that's an old fashion divination method in China lol)
