The House was Rocked!
Cito and his band wanted to get
up close with fans, and offer an experience to be remembered, and that is what
they delivered last night!
After I traded the Rock the Housewith WONDERboom experience with Rene and Nina for a Mobile Lifestyle Makeover, I was delighted to get an invitation to join in the celebrations. It was a small, fun and crazy bunch of friends celebrating Nina’s birthday, and we got the full concert experience in a small room, just for us! (lots of photos here)
Dancing around with everyone to some of my favourite WONDERboom tunes, it occurred to me that this is the first trade I've done where I took part in and enjoyed the actual item I traded on.
With each of the eleven (well, now twelve) “items” of my trades to date, I've had to remind myself that the item I have is not for my enjoyment. The only item I will get to experience to its full is going to be where I stop trading on. And that will be the office space.
So it was quite a grounding reality check to realize that those moments I got to share with Cito, Wayne, Martin, Jonathan, Nina, Rene and their friends, at that private rock concert that was born out of a single matchstick, was not just talk anymore (as it’s been for the last two years), but actually happening!
And if that came from that single matchstick that I started with 8 years ago, then the reality of an office to help start-up entrepreneurs is a very real possibility. And getting closer to becoming a reality.
And I have work to do.
So I thank and salute WONDERboom and Nina and Rene (and all the other people I have trade with to date!) for not only believing in the one matchstick possibility, but for also being a part of it and helping to make it happen. You all rock!

I’m looking for a Man...
...who’s having a
mid-life crisis and loves rock concerts!
Yes. That’s the
criteria.
And because
that’s the criteria, I’ve been reading up about the concept of “mid-life crisis”. Now I’m convinced even more that some guy who is somewhere in the
middle of his life and is having a little wobble from realizing that fact, and
so is in transition and wanting to experience more of life, would be interested
in my latest “life experience” up for trade.
Wikipedia says he’d be experiencing feelings of
searching for “an undefined dream or goal” and have a “desire to achieve a
feeling of youthfulness”. He’d also be
behaving in a way that acquires “unusual or expensive items such as motorbikes,
boats, clothing, sports cars, jewelry, gadgets, tattoos, piercings, etc.”
So the “Rock the
House” experience provides an awesome way to feel like a teenager again, one
who’s attending their first rock concert. Only this is even better as you get
to go “back stage” any time and hang with the rock stars! Plus they will come to your after party, and bring
the DJ!
What a goal it
would be to find a way to trade with me for this opportunity. And, I’m hoping
this Man’s always had a secret little dream of having his own rock concert!
Another
indication that he’d be a possible candidate for me to trade with is the
sign of a mid-life crisis which is that the person plays just to play. Also he does mischievous things that appear
out of character, surprising people who know him.
So throwing a rock concert at his home for all his friends, and having such a party till the wee hours of the morning with WONDERboom (who know how to party!), would be such a fit.
So, are you this Man? Or do you know him?
If so, get in touch with me and make me an offer for the “Rock the House” experience with
WONDERboom!
Even if you don’t
know what to offer me, but you want this experience to ease through your mid-life crisis – call me (+27837302979)! We’ll find a way to trade!

Mischief Making aka Graffiti fun!
Maybe the person who I'll trade with next, is in Johannesburg over the next few days… and will just happen to need to drive into Braamfontein... and will be stopped at a red traffic light at the corner of Jan Smuts and Empire roads...
And will sigh, feeling bored with all the driving that we do in the world today, getting from one place to another to do one thing after the other… and this person will look to their side, and notice the Graffiti wall… and this person's eye will be caught by the multi-coloured, amateur attempt at some graffiti… and, reading this…
...the person will wonder... And will be curious enough to get on their phone when they get to their destination... And head to this website... and now be reading these words...
So if that's you – then read this pdf doc or watch this little movie to understand what onematchstick is all about...
And then read about my latest offer, of the exclusive "Rock the House" experience with WONDERboom, or hear it from the bands mouth themselves...
And then give me a call so we can discuss what we can trade, for you to have WONDERboom perform a little rock concert in your very own garden for you and your friends, and what I’ll get to help me get to my goal of office space to help startup entrepreneurs!
So, call me! 0837302979!
PS- for over 20 years this has been the wall of free expression – until now, apparently you need to get permission. Noted for future mischief making! Thanks SuSteve for being my mischief maker extraordinaire!

Life is wonderful! There is so much to celebrate! And what better way to celebrate whatever is full of wonder in your life, than to throw a party with all your friends and their friends and their friends too!

WONDERboom will play their awesome rock tunes at your home, for your friends and their friends, your mom and dad and the rest of the family, your dog, the neighbours, (and the second biggest fan of the band who begs you to attend your exclusive party).
Offer includes:
- An exclusive WONDERboom experience at your home
- DJ "JP Silver" to keep the party rocking after the mini-concert
- All production and lighting costs and equipment needed to rock the house included

Offers for "Rock the House" with WONDERboom
**PLEASE NOTE**
These offers on this page were made in 2012, and then I had to put onematchstick on hold- for a long while- so these offers have expired.Now that I have relaunched onematchstick in November 2013, there is a new list of CURRENT offers for this item on this page.
********** (expired) OFFERS FOR "Rock the House" with WONDERboom**********
Hi Telana
Let me know what you think:
I would like to make an offer to trade against the
Wonderboom ‘Rock the House’ concert.
The Orlando Towers Bunjee Jump in Soweto is an icon on
the South African landscape and also represents an integral part of the tourism infrastructure
of the area. The Orlando Towers Bunjee is the only Bunjee and SCAD jump in the
world where people can throw themselves from the edge of a cooling tower, or
free-fall through the middle of a cooling tower. By trading with us, not only
is there the basis of a great trade, but, the concert also offers to contribute
to an awareness of the Orlando Towers Bunjee experience and the benefit that
this represents to jobs and also the benefit of tourism to the area. The Towers
also represent a fantastic backdrop to a small concert and a very unique
experience.
As such as a trade for the Wonderboom ‘Rock the House
Concert’ we would like to offer 50 free SCAD jumps with Videos.
However, THIS IS NOT ALL, Infinity Learning, an
organisation that offers Enterprise Development and Socio-Economic Development
Solutions to corporates as part of BEE and transformation in this country would like to
offer in conjunction with the Orlando Towers Bunjee Experience, 10
entrepreneurs the opportunity of participating in our Enterprise Development
programme which includes a two-day, world recognised business simulation
programme and the choice of attending all or some of eight one-day business
training sessions.
But, THIS IS STILL NOT ALL, Infinity Learning
would also like to offer 15 students the opportunity of attending a one-day
learning-skills workshop. Learning how to learn is similar to learning to play
sport. In sport, the greater your skills, the better your game; in learning,
the greater your skills, the better your results, and although it is a widely
accepted norm that sporting teams and individuals at all levels require
coaches, very little emphasis is placed on the skills that are required for
learning.
But, THIS IS STILL
NOT ALL, recently I passed a major milestone in life, and have not
really had a huge party to celebrate. In line with the intention of the ‘Rock
the House’ concert intention, I would like to have a party, and taking into
consideration that my uncle who unfortunately passed away recently
conceptualised and help to build the bunjee bridge, the Towers are like a
‘home’ to me and the team at the bunjee are like an extended family.
But, THIS IS STILL NOT ALL, Although this is not a commercial concert and we are not wanting
to charge an entrance fee, those people that do attend will have the option to
contribute to a literacy project that Infinity Learning runs called the ‘The
Bookshelf Project’ which aims to drive a love of reading in communities and
schools that would otherwise have little or no access to books. As part of the
concert, all guests will also be entitled to nominate either a school or a
community centre that will benefit from one of the bookshelves that the
Bookshelf Project will donate in the new year. Each nomination will be assessed
based on the needs of the nominee, the requirements of the BEE codes. A panel
that can be formed by anybody interested in being involved will be party to
deciding which organisation will be the beneficiary.

Hi Telana,
I will take you on HOT date to get Wonderboom to party at my house
Kind Regards
Chris
*******************************
Here are a few things I can trade:
- Signed BAR-ONE cap signed by Clint De Beer - the winner of The BAR-ONE Manhunt season1
or
- A nice braai here at mine & my partners house in Emmarentia
or
- a tour of The Open Window School of Visual Communication's campus ( where I work )
From Brian
*************************
Live Entertainment music promotions, Yea! and 16 Boxes offer Telana the opportunity to have a onematchstick concert by using WONDERboom with other bands we've lined up. We will give you naming rights in exchange for WONDERboom, so to sponsor the naming rights as the trade. With 1000 to 2000 people attending and exposure to over 100 000 people through marketing the event.
From JonT
**************************
I have a reasonably big house that could fit about 300 people in the garden. I was wondering if you would be prepared to have the Wonderboom concert at my house but instead of one big trade in order to get tickets people would have to pay R200 or trade with us something that has a greater value than R200, for example an offer for a massage or computer services etc.
If we get 300 people there is a possibility of income of R60 000 obviously with a few expenses. I know it isn't exactly what you are after in terms of onematchstick but the media exposure and the possibly publicity after the event maybe just what you need to complete your final trade.
I can advertise it to try and get more people. As well as on Facebook and I am sure some community newspapers would love the opportunity to write an article about this.
I was thinking of doing this on the weekend of the 24/25th November 2012.
Let me know what you think about this idea, we can discuss it further tomorrow.
Regards
Jarrod
PS: I am probably going through a quarter life crisis at the moment. Not sure if that counts. :-)
********************************************
I've got a new idea for the Wonderboom Rock Concert.
We are purchasing a one bed roomed property in Fourways just a few hundred meters from Monte Casino. I was wondering if I leased out the unit (as in a trade) for a period of three months to onematchstick you would consider having the Wonderboom concert at my house. It is a really nice and classy unit.
You then have the possibility of trading the unit to a company who would put one of their staff members in and you can then trade something up to get closer to your goal.
I would of course need to get permission from my family to do this but if you say yes then we can discuss the finer details on Saturday, and ask my family.
I hope you have a fantastic day.
All the best.
Regards
Jarrod
