In the good old days, people would exchange a good or service for another good or service, called bartering. Some of my chicken's eggs in exchange for your cow's milk. Well, times have changed as far as the "types" of goods and services exchanged, but bartering is still a good device in cases where money is hard to come by. Like nowadays. So let's move forward and show people that we can survive without monetary means.
WHAT: Barter Day
WHEN: Sunday, July 12th at 3pm to 8pm
WHERE: My place (Burbank - ask for directions)
So think about some goods or services you may have. Can you teach someone Photoshop? Are you great at giving massages? Do you have an avocado tree ripe with fruit you'd want to exchange? Can you fix up bicycles? Do you have a child and have the time to babysit another? Are you great at gardening?
I'll cook you a meal for re-imaging my computer. :)
