one matchstick: I've been vuvuzela'd!

Hi! I'm Telana Simpson, and I'm trading one matchstick for offices. I started this project on 12 June 2006, and will be trading items up until I get offices. Do you want an exclusive party with rock band WONDERboom, my latest item up for trade? Send me an email (onematchstick@gmail.com) or give me a buzz or sms on +27837302979 to make your offer. When I get my offices, I'll be contributing some space to mentoring a start-up entrepreneurial enterprise. I'm in Jozi, South Africa, and will go anywhere in South Africa to make the trade- I'll even consider anywhere in the world if the trade is right! PS- watch the movie about my story here. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, read this 2 pager that explains my story so far. It'll make a light bulb turn on- promise!

I've been vuvuzela'd!
04 May 2009

Nikita Ramkissoon waved me down at the last 27 dinner after I gave my 270 second talk on onematchstick, and she asked me lots of questions, scribbling down some notes on a white paper serviette... the same kind of white paper serviette that Magician Marcel used to make a sweet smelling rose for me- not sure how he got the white paper serviette to smell like a rose- but it did! Must be magic.

I asked Nikita if she pokens, but she doesn't poken... yet... so I gave her my matchstick business card instead. Maybe next time I see her I'll give her a fridge magnet.

Today I got an email from Nikita with a link to the Wits Vuvuzela- the Wits Newspaper. She used 2494 characters to tell the tale so far of onematchstick. Being a graduate of Wits, I'm quite chuffed to have found my way into their paper.

She says

Can a matchstick be exchanged for an office? One Johannesburg woman seems to think so. In fact, she's in the process of doing so right now.

And yip- she is so right! I'm in the process right now. Processing along.

You can read the great article here.

Thanks Nikita! And by the way, Rod says hi too, and he hopes to get some road trip invites soon!
