In response to various requests we’ve extended the window to purchase Winning Tickets until Monday March 22, 2010 at 16:00 MT. What does this mean for you? Well it means that you get a chance to still get in on the action and support the Tom Baker Cancer Centre, but do it now as you’ve only got a few hours left at your chance to win from a selection of over $3000 of prizes.
Look ma, I’m on the radio
It was 6:20 this morning when my alarm went off I dragged myself out of bed. It was with a whole new appreciation for morning show hosts and producers and all the other moving parts that are involved. Why, you ask, did my mind go to thinking about radio? For two reasons actually; the first being I was on-air with Chris & Meg on the 101.5 Energy FM morning show (with a shout to Ian as well) to chat about Tight ‘n Bright coming up tomorrow night. The second is because radio has always been of interest to me and I must say, I’ve got a great radio voice.
If you missed my outstanding chat, fear not…I cracked out the tape recorder and eagerly awaited the 8:40 play time so I could share it with the world and you could all hear my amazing radio voice. Have a listen.

So don’t you agree that I sound great on the air? Not bad considering it was over a cell phone and the conversation was pretty natural. I think if they need a substitute in the morning show, they should bug me don’t you? If you haven’t already, get your tickets now! I look forward to seeing you tomorrow night at the Second Annual Tight ‘n Bright, where a party can help find a cure.
Also as a favor, let me know what you thought about the interview in the comments – I’m serious about this radio thing as something new.

Please pardon the mess
As we gear up to get the Second Annual Tight ‘n Bright fundraiser for the Tom Baker Cancer Centre organized we’re doing some make overs to our site. Things don’t always go as planned when moving from staging to production environments, however we’re doing our best. Feel free to poke around but be sure to come back as things will no doubt be updated quickly moving forward. You can also check out our 2009 entries if you’re looking for something to occupy your time with.
Thanks in advance for your patience. Be sure to check out our Twitter profile and Facebook page as well. We look forward to celebrating with you in 2010.
Final numbers
We feel that it’s very important to you, to know how we did with reaching our goal of $20,000. Well, we didn’t make it to the goal. That’s OK though because we still managed to donate more to Tom Baker Cancer Centre then we could have done alone. It was with the generosity of people like you that we managed to raise $2,550.74 dollars through VIP admission, “Winning Tickets” and photo donations.
Thank you so much and we look forward to doing it again next year and surpassing our goal.

Oh what a night
Last night was truly an eye-opening experience. I had the chance to chat with a large number of survivors and also meet a lot of people. I want to thank each and every single one of you that donated in some way shape or form. Without our sponsors – Energy 101.5, The Whiskey, NewAd Media, Avenue Magazine, Process Color, WestJet Vacations, Slip-offs Custom Shoes, Rewind Consignment, Brazilian Shoebox, Chinook Centre, Extreme Pita and Survivor Bootcamp – none of the evening would have been possible.
I’d like to also thank you, specifically you, for following the website and blog updates. For showing up at the event. For thinking about the event that you weren’t able to attend. For just being you. Thank you for your contribution.
Of course there were many people at the event that were instrumental in helping sell raffle tickets like Monica & Afra and Dean & Jason to name just a few. And then our photographers as well. Alan Chong Photography and Toby Solak of S2 Photo took a number of great shots that many people took away with them. Thanks to both of you for working through the evening with me and upselling donations. And speaking of photos, I’ll be posting some online so that you can have a look to see what you missed out on…don’t worry though, we’re already thinking about doing it again next year.
Now, raffle prizes are the questions on EVERYONES mind today. Who won? Did I win? Well, hang in there as we’ve entered almost all the tickets into the system. BUT WAIT…there’s still time for you to purchase tickets to be entered to win. The deadline for entries is tonight at 23:59MT. The draw will take place and we’ll be contacting the prize winners tomorrow and posting the information online, along with the total we raised for the Tom Baker Cancer Centre.
Now though, I’m just rambling. A lack of sleep will do that to a person. So be sure to check back tomorrow to see if you won…or if you know someone that will be taking you to Vegas! Enjoy the snow in Calgary and again, a SUPER HUGE thanks to everyone that supported the inaugural Tight ‘n Bright for Cancer Research.
“Good morning” show
Well if you missed it at roughly 6:12 this morning I was on-air with Freeway Frank & Meg Tucker on the Energy 101.5 morning show to chat quickly about Tight ‘n Bright tomorrow night at The Whiskey. Can you believe already that it’s tomorrow night. It has definitely come up quickly and we’re still working out some last minute things. All I know is it will sure be a fun time and that all money raised will be put to a good cause. Get your tickets while you can.
We’ve also learned that after their game, there will be some Calgary Roughneck players coming to party…they’ll be the guys dressed up in suits. Can’t wait to see you all tomorrow night!
