Vincenzo, Mikey A and I decended unto Calgary on Friday to conduct the last auditions of Season 2.We were hosted by the lovely Tegan and Nicole from Calgary Technologies Inc.
The day went well and we meet some old friends and new.
Here are the snapshots from behind the scenes:
I'm in Edmonton today, keynoting at the Ventureprize competition. I'm having a coffee and a bagel minding my own business....when what do I spot on page 6 of the Calgary Sun a story about DD.
You'll find the whole story here: http://calsun.canoe.ca/News/Alberta/2007/05/02/4146997-sun.html
but for those of who don't get the paper, or have coffee in Edmonton, here's the opening few paragraphs:
WHERE'S MY STYLIST?
It's said necessity is the mother of invention. Calgarians Sean Alexander and Chad Kroeker have created a new website to help people connect with their hairstylists.
It can take a person a long time to find a hairstylist they like and, when they do, they stick with that person. Hair is a personal thing and when someone gets it right, you don't want to mess with it.
So, when your stylist bolts from a salon, it can be difficult tracking that person down. Enter www.wheresmystylist.com -- your way to hairdressing heaven
She's the face of Dragons' Den.
She's an industry veteran.

Not settling for studio time, Diane joined auditions on the east coast today to show what makes her great. Here are some pix.
General of the Armchair Dragon Army, Kempton, has posted videos and comments on his expereinces with Dragons' Den auditions. It is interesting to hear his perspective.

Ace Producer Mikey A is en route to discover PEI's best and brightest!
We had a huge turnout in Calgary over the weekend.
The pitchers were great and we expect to see lots of these entrepreneurs during May/June's taping.
Big shout outs to Randy and Kempton for doing so much work at auditions.
Steve Tingely, sent these pictures to give you a small taste of the flavor of Calgary.
Last week, 3 professors and I judged Rotman School of Business' pitch contest, one of many university events inspired by the show. Rotman went one step further, and produced this video for your enjoyment.
Remember this is student based and student made.
Last year, Mikey A burst onto the TV scene a baby faced Associate Producer only a few 
years out of Ryerson.
Now less than 9 month's later, he's producing riveting content for CBC's #1 new show. No wonder he got promoted. His latest short entitled "Into the Den" show's the ups and downs of the audition process.
Get some popcorn.
Sit back and Enjoy!
