E-Bay Live In Chicago

I went to eBay Live since it was in Chicago this year. I met with a number of vendors that had some great services and products for the World Neighbor store. I also met a number of very interesting characters there. Several of the eBayers were more interested in collecting the pins and free stuff than they were in talking to vendors and going to the education sessions. It appeared to be a tradition since all the vendors had there pins ready. There was one cranky guy named Tom (saw it on his conference badge). He apparently hurt his knee and he was tooling around on one of those little scooters. He always had a scowl on his face as he angrily asked questions of the vendors and demanded a free give-away. He cracked me up, what a waste of energy.

One of the best parts of the conference was when the gala on the final night. Demetria and I went to enjoy the dinner and the Chris Isaac concert that was planned. We had a great time and Chris was in fine voice. He was very entertaining and everyone of at the eBay conference loved the show. Of course, they were all begging for his picks and drumsticks so that they could sell them the next day on eBay!
