Sorry at a party!

Apologies I am coming on late with the blog tonight. I am here in Lawlors’ Hotel in Naas at an after show party with Mark O’Loughlin of Hidbin, his lovely wife Ann and their family and friends. Then on my blackberry I started to get loads of emails, “where’s your blog?”

Apologies

First of all sincere apologies to Maureen and Mary of Feel Good Foods and my reaction when I tasted their energy snack. I didn’t help their chances of success by being so negative straight away. I thought it was going to be sweet and threw one into my mouth, whole It was bitter and chunky and I reacted accordingly – Sorry!

Sean & Niall have a row.

“My Project Tracker” really caught Sean’s interest but Niall didn’t like it. In fact they had stiff words in the break after the recording of this one. But they soon made up.

Peter Craig’s Surfbreaks.ie will do well but is not scaleable enough for me. Rhinehardt McLoughlin I loved but not enough to part with my money.

The Jenni’ & Claire Show

Then we had the wonderful women, Jennifer and Claire. When it is edited down to ten minutes from the hour they were there in the Den it comes across differently. I did everything to get them to give me some information about the great event they had in mind for 2011 but they wouldn’t budge. Never, ever mention something like that at an investment meeting unless you are willing to divulge even a little hard information. I exited but I am sure both Jenn’ and Claire will have a big success with their show.

I loved Sinn’s Promoter

Michael McDonald was one of the most like-able presenters we have ever had in the Den. Personally I loved his style but it takes deeper pockets than mine to crack the drinks industry.

Then we had HidBin. I loved it. The prototype was a bit rough but so too was Takker in the Den and look at its huge success since. This will be huge. Rather than talk about it here just check out the video if the updated, improved product on www.hidbin.ie

The Hidbin will be at the Spring Ideal Homes Show in the RDS the weekend of the 16th – 18th.Check it out there. Also on the stand will be Herbie Porsche and Toilet PipeCover and Noelle O’Connor and TanOrganic.

My next blog is Monday 9am.
