It was an interesting three days in San Francisco for Real Estate Connect 2007. I’ll leave the commentary to people more funny than me.
Courtesy of Palm Burgandy, here’s my brief pictorial:
You know you’re in San Francisco when the airport tells you to only use one square.
This is the view from the podium during my panel session. 12 minutes after this photo was taken, Joe from Sellsius tumbled from the stage and sprained his left wrist.
I met an old friend for drink in Haight-Ashbury. The cab dropped me off in the wrong place. I use Palm Burgandy’s Google Maps feature to get back on track and have to walk through Sketchville Golden Gate Park. As soon as I am in the clear, I walk under a tree and a bird decides to crap on my shoulder. Look at the size of that poop. In hindsight, I think it may have been a pterodactyl.
My favorite gag of the week. Thursday morning, I walk through the exhibit hall and see Zillow’s stand. As I walk past, I look at the computer screen out front. Now, that’s comedy. Meanwhile, it’s 9:30 A.M. and I frantically looking for somebody else to laugh at this with. There’s a woman about 8 steps behind me. For as much excitement there was in my voice, there was an equal disinterest in hers. Clearly, not everyone knows who Zillow and Trulia are in Real Estate.
Thursday night, I felt like adventuring so I walked to Union Square. There, I found a city-sponsored jazz concert. The area was packed with people and a lot of them had taken to dancing. Pretty cool stuff and a nice night to be outdoors.

I laughed pretty hard myself – Pete’ll be getting a rental invoice from Zillow’s accounting department 😉 Later I met the Trulia exec who repurposed the booth – I guess that’s what they mean by guerilla marketing. Good to meet you, Dan.

Hey Dan – great to finally meet you! A sort of similar example – Yahoo was open on the Mapquest booth’s display monitors, but I wasn’t alert enough to take a picture.
