Seattle Selected to Join DJ AM & Travis Barker in Nationwide New Year's Eve Party Hosted by New Year's Nation (NYN)

NYN to Connect the Seattle Aquarium with nine other U.S. Cities for "Simultaneous Celebration" including nationwide performance by Travis Barker and DJAM (TRVSDJAM)

SEATTLE, Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- New Year's Nation (NYN), a high-end events and promotions company that leverages technology to create simultaneous social experiences for young professionals in major markets around the country, today announced that Seattle has been selected as one of 10 host cities for NYN's simultaneous New Year's Eve celebration. The national New Year's Eve celebration, hosted locally by Epoch Entertainment at the Seattle Aquarium, will feature onsite entertainment by DJ Scene and DJ Cobra and a live, nationwide performance by Travis Barker and DJAM (TRVSDJAM) through NYN-TV.

The concept of the nationwide, simultaneous party was born in 2006, when NYN CEO Jann Yogman hosted the first NYN New Year's Eve party in five U.S. cities. This year, Seattle will join NYN's New Year's Eve celebrations in Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York City, Philadelphia and Portland for a simultaneous nationwide party across four time zones.

TRVSDJAM will reunite on stage to headline the NYN celebration live from NYN's Los Angeles New Year's Eve Party at The Lot. The TRVSDJAM set will be streamed live in high-definition (HD) quality on the Internet at www.newyearsnation.com, and broadcast live to NYN parties across the U.S. through NYN-TV, a live, HD quality broadcast powered by BitGravity, a Content Delivery Network (CDN) for interactive broadcast. Through NYN-TV, guests at the NYN party in Seattle, as well as Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, New York City and Portland will be able to see TRVSDJAM's performance live on giant projection screens and dance to their music.

"We selected Seattle because of the unique style and energy that the city's young professionals bring to an event of this caliber. Our party in Seattle was a huge success last year, and we're looking forward to working with the Aquarium and Epoch Entertainment to take the event to the next level," said Jann Yogman, CEO of NYN. "The newly remodeled Seattle Aquarium is the most lavish and pristine venue in the city, which makes it the perfect setting for NYN."

Live footage from NYN celebrations around the nation will be featured on ESPN during the "Red Bull: New Year, No Limits." New Year's Eve event in Las Vegas beginning at 11:00 p.m. ET / 8:00 p.m. PT on December 31.

For partygoers attending the Seattle event, NYN's attention to detail and commitment to creating an unforgettable, entertaining and hassle-free evening sets it apart from all other New Year's parties. The party will feature:

• Pre-sold, all-inclusive tickets sold to a number of guests that can fit comfortably in the venue -- no packed spaces, velvet ropes or lines that wrap around the block.

• On-site entertainment from DJ Scene and DJ Cobra, in addition to the TRVSDJAM set that will be streamed live to the nation.

• A guest-to-bartender ratio that ensures all attendees will have easy access to drinks.

• Gourmet passed hors d'oeuvres & food stations, champagne upon arrival and at Midnight.
