MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — ManSites and PrideBucks named Eddie Bastian of VideoSecrets the winner of a trip for two on Atlantis Events’ spring 2009 Celebrity Caribbean cruise.
Bastian’s name was drawn at random from a list of attendees at The Phoenix Forum Gay After Hours Party.
“ManSites has just released a complete redesign of our affiliate program and PrideBucks celebrates five years of successful operation this month as well, so we both wanted to give something back to our affiliates and partners,” said ManSites vice president of sales and marketing Adam Winters.
For the past five years, PrideBucks and ManSites have co-hosted a suite with open bar, refreshments, snacks and pizza during all three nights of The Phoenix Forum for the gay webmaster community.
“We know that webmasters look forward to the opportunity to relax and network in a comfortable setting beyond the hours any local venue is open, so we plan and provide this event every year for the show,” said PrideBucks co-founder Harlan Yaffe. “This was the best party yet, and we will have a tough time topping it next year.”
Atlantis Events is one of the largest gay and lesbian tour operators in the world, hosting some 20,000 guests annually.
“I’m so excited to be winning such an extravagant prize,” Bastian said. “PrideBucks and ManSites never cease to amaze with their awesome parties and great contests, and this one takes the cake. I’m really looking forward to it!”
