On behalf of all those involved with Vegas 2.0 we want to express our appreciation to everyone who showed up for theSummit this year at Def Con 18. Every year theSummit grows more successful. This year being no exception, theSummit raised record figures all donated towards the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Our 6th year as a fundraiser for the EFF we raised a grand total of $13,548!!!
Summit Entry = $11,820
Summit Auction = $1,112
Summit Tip Jars = $198
After-After Party Tips = $418
Fortunately these figures do NOT include the $5000 raised by the EFF table during the summit, as announced during closing ceremonies. Rumor has it one man remaining anonymous donated a solid $1,000!! You know who you are! I hope your reading this and THANK YOU from everyone!
The success of theSummit could not happen with out the support of so many great people! Our Auction and its satire is always a big hit! So thank you L0st, Joe Grand, Deviant Olla and everyone else from TOOOL, Absec Consulting, and DJ Jackalope for your donations towards our auction and continued support through all the years! And of course thank you Short Stop for making this night unforgettable for many!
Thank you to all our entertainers who truly made it a party: Dual Core (with Guest appearance by drraid), your free flow for cash always bring the boys to the yard; the MiniBosses for sacrificing there van just to get there and still rawked the party with a vengeance, DJ Jackalope for spinning the beats and being a very hot model for our auction, and VJ Q Alba for his support and visual craft. None of this, which could have happened with out the technical support and equipment supplied by Vyrus of DC949 and Salem.
But the night still would not have been complete with out the many faces behind Vegas 2.0: Nikita (you goddess of speakers you!) and the Beautiful Charel, thank you and the Def Con staff for your assistance! Dallas, you are our man behind the curtain! We love you for dealing with our last minute shenanigans! Thank you Astcell, for being our official photographer! Major appreciation goes out to Manuel and the other Riviera bartenders for the strong drinks that night, these guys beg to bartend for us each year! And of course everyone who helps us manage theSummit throughout the night, the people who run for 12 hours straight, too busy to enjoy a drink or watch the entertainment just so everyone else can…. DC405, Generic Hero and the 503, 0hm, Ripshy, Sir Cuddles, Charley, Ian, Grue (and your hot sister), our most heart felt Thank you!
TheSummit was pleased to introduce the first annual After-After party, this year. No cover, no badge, no who’s-who, everyone’s invited. Fueled by donations and tips, this party rawked the pool area from 12-8 both Friday AND Saturday nights!! Int80 from Dual Core and Lil Jinni (-aka- Beer Betty) served up the drinks till dawn, Aaron from the MiniBosses played DJ for us Friday night and Twinkdogg awed us with his beats on Saturday! Again, thank you Salem for supplying us with the sound system!
And last but not least we want to thank the EFF. Aaron, Kurt, Marcia and the rest of you guys at the EFF are truly the unsung hero’s behind every one of us. It is our sincerest pleasure to be able to organize this event in your honor. We look forward to continuing this event and support for your efforts in today’s digital age.
Until next year,
Vegas 2.0
