I WAS ON DRAGON’S DEN for my party Board game If You Had To Choose…? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VERY VERY SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Bad News: Well….no deal….they won’t deal with anyone unless you’ve already made substantial profit which is so stupid because why would I be there pitching if I had? Also…they it seemed they had a predisposed opinion about board games even though mine was the first board game to actually have had sales- I’m in Indigo and Zellers, sold 12,000 games, $200,000 revenue to be exact.
 
But they didn’t care….Kevin , the mean one, said he thinks the board game business is “crap” and the fact that even though I had sales, I had yet to make a profit (because I’ve still been paying off the manufacturers who produced the game-growing pains!)….so he said thererfore “that I was just one notch above the crap” so they weren’t interested. Also…I’m kicking myself becaust I did get mixed up with one of my revenue sales figures….but it wouldn’t ahve matterted anyway since I had no proft.
 
I’ve heard though that out of 300 pitches, they only go for about 30 anyway, and  in the end anyway…and afterall it’s a TV show and just all for entertainment.
 
But…yes…they were far tougher than I imagined…even though they seem to love the questions from my game as they kept asking me for more, because I was still having growing pains and therefore had made no profit  they just weren’t interested. It was  far scarier (the really bright lights!!) and tougher (they were pretty mean at the end!) than I had imagined it would be. Honestly, I feel as if I’ve jsut come out of a night-mare from hell- these five judges were sitting on their thrones in these bright lights waiting to decide if I’m “I’m going to hell” and they decided I would…very very surreal….

The good news: good news is that I’m quite sure they’ll air this (as you know they only air 200 out of 300 pitches depending on how entertaining they are for TV) as I think I did amazing…I asked then a bunch of questions from the game and they and everyone else were howling in laughter. Everyone on the set afterwards said “You were fabulous and that was so so funny!.” So the exposure this will get when it airs will be wonderful I’m sure.
