My name is Kyle MacDonald and I traded one red paperclip for a house. I started with one red paperclip on July 12 2005 and 14 trades later, on July 12, 2006 I traded with the Town of Kipling Saskatchewan for a house located at 503 Main Street. (Click on pictures below to read about each trade!)

ROFLCon was enjoyable

I was invited to be a panelist at ROFLCon in Boston over the weekend. I met many people, some of whom are quite well known for internet fame, and such. It was enjoyable. You can read some of the things our panel said here. There's talk of there being another ROFLCon next year too. You should attend. It is fun. Also, Denny Blaze the Average Homeboy will autograph the back of your driver's license if you ask him nicely.

Sean Aiken the "one week job" guy'll be at the Inlet Theatre on Wednesday too.

That's a legit way to use an apostrophe right?: guy'll. Punctuation can be so interesting. Anyhow, Sean Aiken, the bloke who worked a different job every week for a year will be at the Inlet Theatre this Wednesday April 16 to talk about what it was like to work 52 different jobs in a year. Word on the street is that he might show some videos and such. I'm a huge fan of his project and can't wait to see what he's got to say. Not sure if he's going to bring that drum set, but I'm sure you can email him and put in a special request.

If you're just reading this for the first time, you can find out more info on the event by scrolling down a post!

have fun,

Kyle

I'm speaking at the Inlet Theatre in Port Moody B.C. Wednesday April 16

I'll be doing a nifty little slideshow presentation about one red paperclip at the Inlet Theatre in Port Moody Wednesday April 16 as a benefit for Crossroads Hospice. Crossroads is a an association close to our heart, as our Grandma was a beneficiary of their wonderful care. Also, the fact that legendary Vancouver anchorman Tony Parsons is involved with Crossroads sealed the deal. The presentation will run about an hour, there'll be some time for Q and A's and such afterwards. My mom will be hawking copies of one red paperclip, the book, so it'll be the perfect time to buy a copy of the book from the same person who cuts my hair. After that we can probably spill out of the theatre across the street to the St. James Well, as you do.

Here's the vital details:
