Hey guys,

I hope to convention was a blast as I'm sure it was.

What did you think of it? What were the results of competitions?

Post them here.

Ben

Yes, I'm curious of the results as well.
I am SOOOOOOO mad.
I was supposed to go, but I could't because of school.
And I don't mean I'm upset, I'm down right furious. I've been a crappy person all week long. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
The things I lose out on...

Eric leclair I believe his name is- won the close up comp.

Not sure about the stage comp.

Durgy

ps. I'm sure anyone who was there will tell you- Juan Tamariz blew everyone away...and some peopled even peed thier pants I think

Durgy

Who won in Youth Close-Up?

Man, I'm am so upset I couldn't go. The talent line up was amazing...

Appearently ther wasn't youth or Senior.

Horray Eric LeClerc! I love the guy.

Ben

Eric did win (and, Eric, if you read this- sorry about the comments I made. It's not your fault the Sens couldn't finish when it came crunch time...) and Luke Murray won the Magicana award.

Neil Croswell won the youth/most improved stage award, with Mike (I think it was Mike, the French guy!) winning overall first.

As far as the convention goes, it wasn't as good as I thought it would be.





It was better.

It was actually Marc Trudell (sp?) that won the stage competition, what an amazing act!

3rd place- Alan Grose
Michael Gillis Junior Award- Luke Murray

Sid Lorraine Achievement Award: Jeff Pinsky

So there was no youth category? You mean the adults and the youth compete together for the same prize?

Oh, I almost forgot. Congrats Neil. I hope you had a time to remember. That's a very promising prize, keep up the hard work!

Now off I go to study for exams.
(Hate exams...)

Neil,

2nd Place Close-up was won by Nick Wallace.

Thanks Brian M. for the info

Thanks Sam! I had a great time at CAM and hopefully we'll see each other in Montreal!

It was GREAT to see you perform, Marc! By the way, I've already registered for CAM 2009 in Montréal!

Since I am fairly new still I hpoe I'm allowed to ask a foolish question...are the CAM conventions every 2 years?? and if so when in 2009 are they looking at having the event?

Montreal. It should be a blast.

Ben

I might have to fly up again for it.
