Los Angeles County Fair

Yes, believe it or not, we do have a County Fair. I have attended in the past and it appears to be a very "official" fair. Of course my friends in Indianapolis say theirs is best (and they may very well be right), but hey, at least we have one.

They've been running quite an advertising campaign - with catch phrases that would move only those here in Southern California:

"Counting carbs? How high can you count?

"Cotton candy and corn dogs - we call it the Fatkins diet"

"Eggsteme makeovers performed daily"

and my favorite radio spot refers to the giant smile you'll get at the fair, they comment "You can Botox it out later"

Who says we're shallow? The fair runs through September 26th (when Willie Nelson will perform). Visit the website at http://www.fairplex.com/2004/homepage.asp

Media blitz?

For some reason, I get to be on TV again. Today I was on the CBS Early Show, interviewed by Debbye Turner. You can view the video on here



Tomorrow I'll be on Fox News DaySide with Linda Vesper at 1 pm, EST.

Hope to see you!

This n that...

What a great crowd we had in Modesto - fun, smart folks. I'm sure they'll be a success on eBay!

I finished purchasing my items to sell on eBay during Christmas. If you haven't stocked your eBay store - it's getting late!

I'm going to start on an all new book next week ... whew. Thanks to the "celebrity" who commented on one of my posts. It's an honor to see you visit.

Teaching at eBay University

Tomorrow I'm off to sunny Modesto California to teach the advanced class at eBay University. The beginner's class is taught by eBay's Jim Griffith. Go to eBay.com/university for more information.

If you're in my class on Saturday - stop by and say hi! I'll try to take a picture of the crowd for my blog.

eBay news...

If you didn't notice, eBay has a 1¢ Sub-title sale through tomorrow, the 5th. On a brighter note, nordica has updated their list of top eBay sellers, you can see them on http://nortica.com/UserArea/eBay500_16.asp
