I got back from Calgary yesterday as we took an extra day to see the Rockies (Doritos trip to the Juno Awards).

Pearls, you beat me to it! 
Regardless, here's a run-down of my weekend ...
- Started on Friday with a 7am radio interview! (barely remember that one, through sleepy eyes).
- Met the awesome Mayor of Calgary - got a bunch of swag from the City.
- In total, had 6 radio interviews (one from Vancouver even), 4 TV interviews, 1 internet interview and one newspaper article.
- Got front row tickets to the Juno Cup (NHL old-timers versus rockstars);
- Juno fanfare front-of-the-line access;
- judged an art competition and an air-guitar contest;
- checked out several local music venues;
- enjoyed all-paid pre-Junos and a post-Junos parties;
- got a quick trim and scalp massage;
- felt like a rockstar as I was driven everywhere and had an "entourage" of handlers;
- a cameraman videotaped my whole weekend;
- met a tonne of musicians and media folk;
- signed one autograph on the red carpet (she likely had NO CLUE who I was, but I thank her very much anyways! ;
- as Pearls mentioned, had a surplus of Doritos and an x-box 360;
- got some Ben Sherman clothes;
- 4 nights at the downtown Sheraton;
- got to meet two great Goldfishies!!!;
- treated super, amazingly well by Doritos!!!;
- and of course, got to co-present the Juno to Michael Buble'
Doritos rocks!
(even though I co-presented the Juno award, I did not qualify to receive an official Juno gift bag)
I would definitely advise entering this contest next year!!!!
