To: Jason Calacanis Jason,
I thought you might find this interesting (if you haven't already heard.) The "winner" of Richard Branson's Perfect Pitch conference DIDN'T get funded. How is that for winning? Here's a conference that charged people hundreds of dollars to attend and the "winner" didn't even get funding. What a crock. This just reinforced my reasons for NOT participating.

2. I live in Los Angeles.

which come to my poker game. > Any response from the angel groups you’ve asked to eliminate fees? (They’ve

it will be before you put Keiretsu Forum out of business?” I would have responded 60 days ago. best j > Thanks, TKTKTKTK
