trombone rouge

this guy traded a red paperclip for a house. over a period of a year, and 14 trades, he traded up the red paper clip from his resume for a house in Kipling Saskatchewan.

the trades were:
paperclip for fish pen
for clay doorknob
camping stove
red generator
beer keg + light up budweiser sign = instant party
a famous skidoo
a trip to yahk, british columbia
a camper van
a recording contract
a years rent on an apartment in phoenix
an afternoon with alice cooper
a KISS snowglobe
a movie role
a house in saskatchewan

awesome...

ps speaking of montreal (well, we weren't but this red paperclip dude is from there), i just got back from the jazz festival and 4 days with kim k and bf jean-maxime.

couldn't believe what a friendly city montreal was. after new york, i felt like everyone must be about to steal my wallet or something - i couldn't see why they would be smiling for no reason. nobody in nyc smiles at a stranger for no reason..
