Da Chronic's Got Talent: Final Results

by Dave Cariello on Feb 10, 2012 11:01 AM CST

We've reached the end of our search for fresh new front page talent here on Canal Street Chronicles and the official results are in. Drum roll please...

Everyone's a winner! That's right, I'm giving each of our new writers a regular spot in our starting lineup. So won't you please join me in giving them a warm welcome.

After reading everyone's feedback and looking over the poll results, I thought they were all deserving of the opportunity to regularly add their voice and continue to develop their craft. Each new writer brings a different perspective and I believe that in combination with what we already do here, Canal Street Chronicles will only get better as a result of their addition.

Our new team members have already been given the good news and they're learning the ropes behind the scenes as we speak. You will begin seeing their work over the next coming days and weeks, being published under their real names. Once they've published their first post, their name will be added to the official masthead below.

I would like to thank each of our newest contributors for devoting their time and talent to our blog. I'd also like to thank our readers for treating our applicants with respect throughout the process.

It's time to usher in the next generation of Canal Street Chronicles.

Dave is the new Godfather mastermind

Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.

Good decision!

I look forward to complaining about Mark Ingram’s 2011-12 season in all their posts.

What????

So everyone gets a trophy??? That is soooooo 21st century!!!

Why then, in the name of Drew Breesus did we spent all of our time critiquing and evaluating these writers if all of them end up getting the gig anyway???

Oh well…Looking forward to reading them nonetheless!

Expect more...you'll get more...and if you don't, start over!

well.. you can think some of the criticism can be taken in stride..

by our writers.. and draw some pointers of what they may have lacked on their stories (at least in the hard-ass critics’ minds..)
certainly, the hard to please mob discussed what their interests were.. and how to write about it too.. (as if they held any specific writing credentials..)
i felt like it was a lot like the pig, the monkey & the dancing bear.. (anybody know that tale..?)

the sampling did serve a purpose.. i think..
