AC Dickson is coming! AC Dickson is coming!

AC Dickson is coming home. After my recent move to Los Angeles, I'm already on my way back to Portland for a few weeks.

The reason? The AC Dickson: eBay PowerSeller seminar is being hosted by the Reed College Arts Week. If you missed the show during the PICA TBA festival and you live in Portland this will likely be your life chance to bear witness to the tranformative power of eBay, soak the inspirational wisdom, and get your very own AC Dickson PowerSelling zine autographed.

It's this Wednesday, March 2nd at 7pm. The cost? A mere $7. Now, rumor has it that Reed students are notoriously late. But be forewarned that AC does not wait around. You best be there before 7 to get parked and find a good seat.

For those of you who are going and haven't been to my seminar before, read no further. I'm going to ruin a few surprises. Suffice is to say, if you're life does not take a radical change for the better post 3/2/05, I will have failed and will consider another line of work. That's how strongly I believe in properties of the eBay tonic. Now stop reading.

For those of you who don't live in Portland... I can only ask, what are you doing to insure my visit to you fair hamlet? Bang on some doors, have a chat with the mayor, your local arts group, the hoiday inn, or the city council. AC isn't just going to mosey down the lane and set up a soapbox on main street. I have to be coaxed and coddled into coming. The British have the right idea. We're getting the royal treatment in Nottingham and Glasgow in May. But my fellow Americans, where is the red carpet. I can change you life, but only if you give me an ear.

But you can still participate. I've got 5 incredible auctions that are going end during the Reed seminar. Vintage jazz handbills from the New York City scene of the 1960's. The prize is a mini-poster from a show featuring both Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington. Worth $100 easy. Now, I'm sure you want to bid on one or all of these auctions. Fantastic, if you can make a point of being around Wednesday night at 8pm Pacific Time, I'd sure appreciate you waiting to place your bid until the last minute. The last 15 seconds if you've got a quick internet connection. Why? So that a lecture hall of college students can see your user name light up the screen (hooked into a live eBay feed) and witness your bidding prowess. I thank you in advance.

Now, for those of you who are planning on a repeat visit to the world of AC (and I have gotten more than a few emails from returning faithfuls), be sure to clear your calendars, because next Sunday, March 7th, I'm going to be taking a high bidder on a thrift store tour of Portland. Yes, that's right. Lunch, a few thifites, and an afternoon of advice from AC. We can talk eBay, we talk about your recent breakup, or about where you're life is going. Ff you're the big winner, it's up to you. But if you haven't had the pleasure of a Sunday drive with AC, you haven't really lived yet, have you?
