I can’t think of any better way to make the real estate business rebound than having way too much other work to do. I’ve been writing Unchained content, juggling Unchained details, responding to a bunch of Unchained mail — all while negotiating and planning listings and working with buyers. Next week promises to be enriched with about three weeks’ worth of work, and we top it off with two Unchained preview shows on Friday.
Thus: If you’re in Phoenix on Friday, May 9th, Brian and I will be doing two 2.5 hour Unchained previews at the Mesquite Branch of the Phoenix Public Library (4525 Paradise Village Parkway North, Phoenix, AZ 85032). We’ll be talking to Realtors from 9:30 am to 12 Noon, and to Lenders from 1 pm to 3:30 pm. These two events are free — provided you pay attention — sponsored by Chicago Title and Mortgage Solutions of Arizona. RSVP with Lisa Capes at Chicago Title — 480-695-3136 — if you want to come.
Brian has been flat-out, too, which means he’s been too busy to raise the price for Unchained tickets. We’re still at $199 for all three days, so if you’re coming, you probably ought to commit yourself. Cathy has all the food taken care of, so your lunch and coffee and cookie breaks are on us. She and Brian have a Happy Hour event planned for Monday night, so everyone will have a chance to pick everyone else’s brains. The Radisson Phoenix City Center has a $69/night rack rate for Unchained students, although The Fairfield Inn is the hotel closest to The Heard Museum. Do you crave more details of a practical nature? Click and ye shall find.
Galen Ward owned our minds this week, for good reason, but, if I can, I’d like to turn your attention back to the idea of the unchained epiphany. This has nothing to do with the conference and everything to do with why we’re doing it. Chris Johnson and his wife had a little baby girl named Ruby. I’m sure he’s not busy enough, so I would point him back more than a year, to Shyly’s Delight for a glimpse of what I consider to be the fully-human life. You can sneak a peek, too, if you like.
In the mean time, I’m toast. I’m going to take the rest of the week off and spend some time with my best beloved.

If you ever wonder why you never did what you said you would do, when you were 14, read Shyly’s Delight.
Be that god.

😉 I could have asked for clarification.

Proper communication shouldn’t require clarification. 🙂
On an aside, are you familiar with Dan Bern? Very bruce influence. Has moments of utter genius (new american language) that make the baggage worth it.

I was just joking. I won’t get to stop for a long nap until May 21st. I had a job in an ad agency when I was a teenager, living alone in Fun City. Every Friday afternoon at about 4:55 the boss would come into the bullpen and say, “Why don’t you guys take the rest of the week off.” He thought it was a knee-slapper, and here it is with me, 30 years later. Cathy and I did watch television for a little while, and I didn’t even fall asleep. I’m showing today and Cathy’s staging and showing. The big break for both of us is Independence Day, our anniversary, in Las Vegas.
