eBay Live was so much fun!

eBay Live was so much fun! It started with our drive up to San Jose on Wednesday, June 22nd. Maureen (Mo), my assistant, and I stopped off in LA where I had an interview to be the host for a new television series. I will keep you posted! After L.A., we got lost and took the 99 instead of I-5. Yikes! That mistake took us an hour out of our way but it turned out to be great. As we were unloading the car in front of the convention center, a news crew from San Francisco/Oakland's channel 2 was there and wanted to film me. I was on the news that night and again the next morning.

We manned the booth on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and had so much fun. All the eBayers were incredible, especially Patricia, Erin and Kelli--three really wonderful girls who had read my books and said that the books had changed their lives for the better. Here is a picture of our booth. That is Mo over in the corner.



Our booth was right next to Wiley who I am writing the new book for. It was great!

Thursday night was a big opening kick off with a rally lead by Meg Wightman (CEO), Griff (Spokesperson) and Bill Cobb (President North America). eBay went all out and all the food at the concession stands in the building were loaded with free food: hot dogs, popcorn, ice cream, pop and anything imaginable.

I was interviewed for eBay Radio on Friday by Griff and Lee and that was a blast. Here is another photo of the interview. See Griff and Lee thumb through my book!



Friday night found us at a party at the St. Clair hotel with our new friends from NuMarkets. From left to right is Russ, Mo, Dwayne, me and Jesse.



Saturday, we had to take down our booth and pack up. It was really sad. We met so many nice people, including the entire eBay Canada bunch that we thanked with free copies of “The 100 Best.” They have invited me to tour eBay Canada in Vancouver BC this summer when I am back in my hometown of Bellingham, WA for a few weeks.



Saturday night was the final event with a dinner and concert by the B-52’s! It was so fun and I got to dance to Love Shack with Griff. What an experience!

I can't wait to go again next year. Next year's eBay Live has been announced and it will be held in Las Vegas June 13-15 at the Mandalay Bay Resort. I don't know why I had never attended but I am definitely going back and I encourage you all to attend! See you there!
