W...T...F (Gong Finals)

Post by Jorden »

Hey guys,

I just got a call from Monica from Edge 102.1...

I made Gong Contest finals.

I will therefore be in downtown Toronto @ 228 Yonge St. from 6 am to 9:30 am on Friday October 27th as part of the Dean Blundell morning show.

Hooooooly shit. 8O

To all those who voted for me --
THANK YOU!!!

If you are thinking of making the (ridiculous?) trek to Toronto to cheer me on, please don't. :P
Unfortunately, I'm limited to bring only one guest.

Hasn't quite sunk in yet still. :D

Oh, check the edge.ca website at 3:30 pm (Eastern Time) to find out the other finalists!!!

Much love!!

~ J the D M


P.S. :D :D 8O

That's awesome! So good to hear that all of our voting, and mainly your excrutiatingly long hours of practise can potentially get you $50,000.

Would this be the biggest amount of money ever earned for footbag? (If not, what was?!?)

GOOD LUCK!

When I saw the WTF in the title I thought you were gonna say how you didn't make it and you were dumb-founded since we all voted so much.

I'm glad its the contrary.

Great job Jorden! If anyone has worked hard enough to deserve this, it's you. Good luck!

Have fun,

Awesome! I'd say the only person who MIGHT be a competition skill wise is the jump roper (maybe the bagpipes guy too). If the fart guy wins, I will throw up.
