There’s always something to howl about.

I want someone to give me a conference room in rounds so I can launch a Scenius in Sacramento Anaheim.

I want someone to send me to NAR in Sacramento Anaheim next month. I don’t want to do anything even remotely NARish, I just want to commune with the grunts on the ground. I have lots of interesting ideas about innovation in real estate, and I am lucky enough to know a lot of very clever people. Put us all in a room together, and we can make magic. We’ve done it before.

This would be cool: A double- or triple-sized break-out room in rounds of eight, each table its own little Scenius. Some formal presentations from the front of the room, with web and slide support, all that stuff. But also a lot of time for real work at the table level. I plan on throwing off a lot of product ideas, and I would love to have a leavening of people from the development side of the on-line real estate table. I want to sell some very serious ideas, but I want people to go home with new product plans, new marketing plans, too.

Here’s a true fact: This is the most propitious time for revolutionary change in the residential real estate business. Why? Because things could not possibly be any more screwed up than they are now. There is no sane argument to be made against any attempt to right this flailing beached whale we scheme to call a profession. I have ideas. You do, too. I want to talk about how we can be the drivers of real change in our business.

Am I too vain to think that someone would put together a show for me? I know how to do all this myself, after all. But: I don’t have the time or the money to put anything together. I loved doing the BloodhoundBlog Unchained events with Brian Brady, and with all the hard-working dogs who graced us with their presence. But all that is way more than I can do now. It comes down to this: I’ll do this if someone will take on the logistics and costs, and not if not.

But what I’m promising is a Scenius, a synergy of shared genius. I’ve got a bunch of strage and dangerous ideas in my head, and I know how to tease a roomful of smart people into getting a lot smarter a lot faster. I would love to come to Sacramento Anaheim to play, and I would love it if the people reading this who are most interested in getting smarter would come to play with me.

So: I need a sponsor. Give me a room and I’ll make it glow.
 

PS: Social media butterflies: If you want this to happen, tell your friends to make it happen. I’ll deliver the goods if you will.

PPS: How much attention do I pay to the NAR? A couple of folks have pointed out by email that the NAR convention is in Anaheim, not Sacramento. I don’t know how I got the towns mixed up, but I think Sacramento would have been the better choice: The membership could have seen the NAR’s handi-work at its most effective. Whatever. I’m still game to play Scenius.
