Why? Well, think about it. What’s the #1
thing that every single business needs
say in and day out week after week in order
to not only survive, but thrive?

Leads. Yeah, I know, when you think
leads….you think….”squeeze page” or
a simple e-mail and name capture.

Really not the same thing.

How many times have you simply put in
a bogus name and e-mail address just to
see what’s on the other side of a squeeze page?

Exactly….

LS3 teaches you exactly how to avoid that
kind of problem and then shows you the correct way to
almost guarantee that every visitor to your sites
will be gladly standing in line to give you ALL
of their correct information.

management tools and a whole LOT more..

But Dr. Mike and Howie can explain it better
than I can….

And so much has happened….. let’s see….

We raised $50,000 for Unitas and microfinance loans at WIME, and are planning a whole bunch of launches over the next 6 months. Our company is virtual, continuous conversations with people in England, Miami, El Salvador, SoCal and the Midwest. We create buzz. I strategize and recognize patterns, indulge my apophenia.

I’ve gone to the Golden Gate renfaire, and the 40th anniversary of the summer of love (Taj Mahal, Moby Grape, and the Starship), gallery openings, and a variety of live music events. Moved from the (very tacky) furnished room in the Tenderloin to a (much better) furnished room in Nob Hill. Went back to ABQ and consolidated my stored things, and brought back the electric guitar and art supplies. Hanging out with Goths and Indonesians and jazz musicians. Talking about Chip Delany’s criticism with aging gay men. Seeing my daughter on her way from Burning Man to Seattle. In the coffeeshop, a young man Skypes in German next to me. I watch the counter when the owner shows apartments in the building looming over our heads.

I look around my furnished room, with it’s private bathroom. Unlike the other place, this window opens onto the street. On O’Farrell, it was an airshaft across from a room with young Asian women. They spread their makeup out on the floor as they sat crosslegged, surrounded by product.

Small bookcase (business, tarot, voudoun, i ching, fiction, pastel instruction, two zippered binders, two sketch pads, a portfolio and a daytimer (my least favorite one,at that)), a small altar (mala, Yab Yum, ceramic incense burner, crystal ball) on the top. Wisdom and Compassion. On the dresser a notebook computer leeching wireless from an unknown person. It’s unreliable. Sunburst Washburn guitar plugged into a scarlet POD modeling box with grey Sennheiser headphones, no amp to disturb the neighbors. Microwave on a coffeetable, with magazines underneath - Strategy+Business, Business 2.0, Wired. Buried under them the current issue of The Economist picked up in Albuquerque’s airport, along with Blink and a novel. Television, fridge, bed with a floral bedspread. Pastels and paper in the base of one nightstand, drawers full of filing and papers and misc electronics and toys in the other. I suddenly feel strongly like I’m in a William Gibson novel. Wendy points out that 40 years ago, it was a Delany novel.

I only read The Economist on airplanes.Glancing at the night stand, I notice again that I’m reading Spook Country. Call me Inchmale. It’s not deja vu, or the literary equivalent of “I have read this before”. I am reading it now, sans the geospatial tagging. Maybe. Chombo = “tool” or “implement” in Swahili. El Chombo is real. CHOMBO modeling is real. Milgrim…. are we to read this as a reference to Stanley Milgrim’s experiments in obedience and the infliction of pain? Or perhaps as Robert Milgrim of “Milgrim on Trade Secrets”? As always, Gibson encourages the reader to treat apophenia as a subtle archaeological technique of text and consciousness, brushing the dust lightly away to reveal deeper mysteries. Big End… the connection between the CONrod and the CRANKshaft in an internal combustion engine….. the connection between con and crank, the huckster and the loon….
We change with the times. I wear Etz Chaim, the sephirot in gems. Chochma and Binah, Chesed and Gevurah. It’s almost Erev Yom Kippur - may you be sealed in the book of life.

It’s now been two weeks since I arrived in SF. An update seems in order:

1. Living situation - no change. Still need to find an apartment. Going to a flatsharing meetup Wednesday - mebbe that will help.

2. Public Speaking - found a twice-a-month toastmasters group - checking them out next week.

3. Fitness - working out 5 days a week, had my first personal trainer session this morning. My abs will never be the same after this process. Still haven’t found a t’ai chi group that looks right, and only casually looking at sailboats until I get a permanent place.

4. Art - still looking for a casual pastels class, but thinking I might want to do a life drawing class first. Up in the air. Went to first gallery show opening, Asian art museum next week.
5. Music - fulfilled a minor dream by jamming in a San Francisco bar last night. It’s a regular Sunday night jam session - blues. I’ll be back - met some decent players. I borrowed the house band guitarist’s Strat, did a blues shuffle and a Van Morrison ballad with the band. Solos could have been better, but it wasn’t embarrassing. And it was great being onstage with a guitar instead of a bass.

6. What I’m missing - Lowell, Emily and Thalia. My guitars. My desktop computer and desk.

7. Looking forward to - Ren Faire. Asian Art Museum. Bert Jansch. Gogol Bordello.

So Yelp is a cool review site I discovered a few days ago - very useful for those in the cities it coversAlbuquerque isn’t one of them, yet - but it should be.

I synchronistically discovered this event the next day. Some really cool art, and a very cool concept. They’ve got a t-shirt show at the space coming up, so that will be fun, too

Collective - Yelpers Reflections on City Life & Community Art Reception | Events | Yelp
Were thrilled to announce that the first ever Yelper Art Show will be taking place in August, from August 6th to the 19th regular gallery hours are daily, 1-5pm. Through the month of July, Bay Area artists submitted all sorts of artwork to be considered for this group show.

This looks like it will be a good time - and a fun outdoor event. Cheap, too, at $15 per ticket.

Golden Gate Renaissance Festival 2007
The fourth annual Golden Gate Renaissance Faire, in San Francisco, CA., held August 25-26th is the ultimate Renaissance bash, a lively Dionysian party, where the guests enjoy turkey legs, exotic food, and drink as they banter with the myriad performers filling the streets. The event sports one-of-a-kind shows, music, and comedy.

So this is the fourth day of my new life - sitting in an internet cafe at Geary and Hyde in San Francisco. Work proceeds slowly, but it proceeds - and I’ve already got several leads on apartments in the city, for the time being.

Truly great to wake up and not start the day thinking about how badly I want out of Albuquerque and the situation there. Here, I wake up and decide where I’m going for breakfast. There are three decent coffeehouse internet cafes within a couple of blocks.I’ve already chatted with people from Ireland, Australia, Java, Egypt. For lunch and dinner I have my choice of Korean, Indonesian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Persian, Italian and American within 2 blocks. And a hookah bar/ espresso joint open til really late.

Indonesian Day at Union Square tomorrow. Patti Smith at the Fillmore next week - Bert Jansch at Sweden Hall the week after - Richard Thompson at the Fillmore in September. Blues and jazz clubs. A Gallery opening tonight - line drawings of contemporary images mixed with Assyrian antiquities. A Leonardo exhibit running through the end of September.

I’ve joined a health club that’s open 24 hours, and have my first personal trainer appointment at 4 today. No raquetball at that location, but I have guest privs at the location that does. The bus that runs by there (I have my muni pass - $45 a month) is also 24 hours. Later 49er football games, warriors basketball.

Life is already very different, in other words - and I’ve got no desire to look back.
