Hey - read about this in the Toronto Star. Sounds really cool. Where can I sign up?!

Wow! This is fantastic! I've gotten "hey, have you heard?..." emails about this from as far away as Scotland.
And I've got a ton of questions:
- Have coaches already been selected?
- Is this a "Celebrities Only" show? Are we going to be watching Tila Tequila, Mary Lou Retton and Bobby Brown, et. al. out there? or will it be real people? And if so...
- Who are they looking for? Total novices? "Struggling artists" trying to break through? Or just a bunch of good looking people who will mix it up for TV in spandex pants? (If you're over 21 will you be too old?) ;)
- Will the show be about the selection process? (round up a bunch of yahoos from every corner of the country and put them through rounds of trials over the 6 months, then pick 5 at the very end?) Will the trials be televised, too?
- Lake Placid's an arena. Will it be temporarily dedicated to curling or will they train champions on zamboni ridges and triple-toe loop holes?
Either way - very cool! And way to go, NBC for sticking by curling!

Great questions from SFCurls. I was wondering the same thing about the Lake Placid ice.
Should we receive a confirmation when we sign up? We clicked submit, and the screen just disappeared, with no confirmation.
You've generated some definite excitement in the Seattle club... we hope to see you out here for try-outs!
Cheers!

Where are the try outs being held? I hear Fairbanks is a good place to find curlers!

I'd just like to point out a fantastic song by Jonathan Coulton entitled "Curl" that you can download for free from his website at http://www.jonathancoulton.com/songdetails/Curl - it'd make a pretty great theme song.
