Interesting Man April Fools' Meme

C’mon guys did you all seriously think I would leave San Diego?! Well apparently the answer is YES! And I was a bit saddened by everyone who was so quick to tell me to leave San Diego :(! I know, I know you guys had my best interest in mind when telling me to move but still! See here’s the thing, I knew if I randomly posted today that I was moving to LA, no one would believe me. So I used the power of social media to create buzz and plant the idea into your heads that I “might” be moving. Social Media has seriously given a new meaning to April Fools’ day since the jokes are amplified and spread more quickly!

Facebook April Fools 2

Twitter April Fools

What’s true:

  • I have been working up in LA all last week
  • I did have some big meetings with big brands
  • I have created new opportunities and partnerships with connections in LA for Marketing Melodie.
  • I learned so much great advice from everyone about my career, taking chances and life in general that I’ll still be able to apply even though I’m not moving

All of this is TRUE so my April Fools Joke was actually not a complete joke! But the moving part is false. I was never planning to move. I’ve create my business in a way that allows me to work from any location so I would never need to physically be in one place permanently. I’ve also successfully pulled off April Fools’ Jokes before. Last year, hundreds of people wished me a happy birthday via Facebook and Twitter on April Fools’ Day. However, this joke did not work for anyone who is a close friend of because everyone close to me knows that my birthday is on December 13th. So this year I wanted to come up with a joke that even people close to me may believe. I figured, I’m already going up to LA for meetings so it would be easy to turn it into a joke. Hmm…what else should you guys know?

  • You probably already guessed. There is no going away party!
  • However, I do want to see all of you very soon. Instead of my going away party, come hang out with me at Foursquare Day San Diego on 4/16!
  • I have a new found love for LA! I’ve adventured in LA a few times already this year and definitely love having a cool spot that’s so close to visit! If you have any recommendations for things I should check out the next time I’m in LA please let me know!
