I held up a splayed-out hand to show them my wedding ring. Behind me, a friend said, &#8220;They&#8217;re professionals.&#8221; Another said, &#8220;They want to harvest our kidneys.&#8221; And a third: &#8220;They think we&#8217;re movie producers.&#8221; We stood there, petrified, staring at them. They stared at us. Then they tore off into the night.<br \/>\nBut it has always stayed with me that I never answered their question. Because the answer is &#8220;Yes, I do want to party.&#8221; Which is why Redfin, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.madrona.com\">Madrona<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fenwick.com\">Fenwick &amp; West<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.square1financial.com\/bank\/\">Square 1 Bank<\/a> have organized another big <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/category\/nakedtruth\">Naked Truth<\/a> event for Seattle&#8217;s tech community:<br \/>\n<strong>What: <span style=\"font-weight: normal\"><a href=\"http:\/\/event.pingg.com\/thenakedtruth\">The Naked Truth: Show Me the Money<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><strong> <span style=\"font-weight: normal\"><strong>When<\/strong>: July 9, 6:00 p.m.<br \/>\n<strong>Where<\/strong>: The Olympic Sculpture Park on Seattle&#8217;s waterfront<br \/>\n<strong>How Many<\/strong>: 400 people; the park limits attendance, so you have <a href=\"http:\/\/event.pingg.com\/thenakedtruth\">to sign up<\/a>.<br \/>\n<strong>Why<\/strong>:\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: normal\">Understand how different revenue models for online consumer companies work<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Format<\/strong>: panel + party<br \/>\n<strong>Panelists<\/strong>:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/topics.nytimes.com\/top\/reference\/timestopics\/people\/d\/damon_darlin\/index.html\">Damon Darlin<\/a>, Technology Editor, New York Times<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.avc.com\/\">Fred Wilson<\/a>, Union Square Ventures, author A VC<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.crunchbase.com\/person\/michael-arrington\">Michael Arrington<\/a>, Founder &amp; Editor, TechCrunch<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.picnik.com\/info\/about\">Jonathan Sposato<\/a>, CEO, Picnik<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.crunchbase.com\/person\/brad-jefferson\">Brad Jefferson<\/a>, CEO, Animoto<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobilecrunch.com\/2008\/12\/05\/an-interview-with-ethan-lowry-of-urbanspoon\/\">Ethan Lowry<\/a>, Co-Founder, Urbanspoon<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/glenn.kelman\/glennsfavoriteessays\">Glenn Kelman<\/a>, CEO, Redfin<br \/>\n<strong> Livestream<\/strong>: by<a href=\"http:\/\/wwww.seattle20.com\"> Seattle 2.0<\/a>; check back here the day of the event for the webcast<a href=\"http:\/\/www.seattle20.com\"><br \/>\n<\/a> <strong>How Much<\/strong>: $0<br \/>\n<strong>Hashtag<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#search?q=%23nakedtruth\">#nakedtruth <\/a><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>This Year&#8217;s Theme: Revenue Models for Consumer Internet Companies<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: normal\">The topic for this year&#8217;s event is revenue models for online consumer businesses. We&#8217;ve asked entrepreneurs from a few of Seattle&#8217;s funnest consumer services** to talk about how they make money from ads, transactions, subscriptions, downloads. Using real numbers \u00a0&#8212; on the cost of traffic, on the ratio at which that traffic converts into customers, on the revenues yielded per 100,000 visitor &#8212; we&#8217;ll dig into what makes different revenue models really work.<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nWe&#8217;ve also got a few folks to report on what&#8217;s happening in the world beyond Seattle: Damon, Michael\u00a0and Fred have\u00a0probably seen more revenue models for Internet-consumer businesses than anyone.<br \/>\nTogether, we hope we can give some useful advice to entrepreneurs trying to figure out the best revenue mix for their own companies. It&#8217;s something Redfin is still working through, too, so it&#8217;ll be good to get some help. Even though Internet companies everywhere are in a put-up-or-shut-up situation, you could go to a hundred Internet conferences and never hear a word &#8212; let alone a number &#8212; about revenues.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1278\" style=\"float:right;margin-left:10px\" src=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/osp1-300x214.jpg\" alt=\"osp1\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>What You Need to Bring<\/strong><br \/>\nSo we hope everybody can come. The panel will run &#8217;til 7 or 7:30, then we&#8217;ll start the party. We&#8217;ll try to commandeer a taco truck to set up at the park entrance, and the Olympic Sculpture Park folks will run the bar. If the grass is wet or your pants are white, you need to bring a blanket to sit on in the park&#8217;s amphitheater.<br \/>\nBut you should try to make it. At <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/2007\/07\/we_had_such_a_nice_time.html\">the last Naked Truth<\/a>, people fell in love, scores were settled, grudges were forgiven, the fur flew over all sorts of dingbat startup ideas, everyone was smiling, and folks dressed up like it was the prom. I need a haircut now but I&#8217;m waiting two more weeks so it will look perfect for the big night.<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;ve got ideas for spicing up the event with jugglers, sword swallowers or tambourine troupes &#8212; or if you have questions you want to ask the panelists &#8212; leave a comment and let us know what you can bring to the party.
