PubCon: Yahoo Party At The
Playboy Suite
 By
Lee Odden
Wow, what a party! Yahoo had a very private, invite-only party last night at the
Palms Towers in the Playboy suite.
Thank you to Yahoo PR for letting me bring Karen and Jolina from the TopRank team.
This was their first conference and Karen's fist time in Las Vegas. There were
only 100 or so people invited to this party from a conference of several thousand,

I've got to run to do my next presentation but will post more photos later
or you can check my Flickr page.
Nice job on the party Yahoo!
