Hmmmmmppppfffff! Let's try this again. Juju posted TWO items this morning, and then the board changed and had mystical little arrows on it, and now it has disappeared.

OK, I'm going to try to rally the troops for Machinehead!

He hasn't posted on here because he was using my account to read the boards when he was here... so you can't blame him for lurking :)

He's a ton of fun... funny, nice, witty, obnoxious all in one!

If you haven't voted, PLEASE vote for Machinehead! Give him a chance to come out of lurkerdom and show you how cool he is!

Thank you

Looks like I have to toot my own horn (maybe because nobody knows who I am). In case everybody missed a post I made a few weeks ago, I'll post again to give you guys an idea of what I am all about and what I feel I will give to the Game.

"As a member of the legion of BB fans, I found this idea quite intriguing. During the course of the show I had considered whether I would be interested in being a part of the next show (if that comes to light) and this game seems a perfect opportunity to get some kind of idea what it would be like.

Now about myself: My name is Bill and I am a 39 year old gay white male living in New York City. I live with my partner of 3 1/2 years and we have a cat named Othello. I currently work for a company that produces full scale musicals aboard the Queen Elizabeth 2. Previous to that, I have worked for the management company for Cameron Mackintosh's musicals (Phantom, Les Mis, Miss Saigon), as well as other musicals (Fosse). I also had the opportunity to work in a theatrical publicity office on shows such as Victor/Victoria with Julie Andrews and Damn Yankees with Jerry Lewis. As you can tell, theatre and drama are a part of my life.

Being a native New Yorker, I have that thick-skinned mentality that only comes from living in a large urban area. That and being in the theatre has taught me how to appreciate other peoples opinions and viewpoints, but I am also the type of person who once I have made a decision or have an opinion, it is pretty difficult to get me to change my mind. I think that this game will give me the opportunity to interact with people completely different than myself, both learning from and, hopefully, giving other people a chance to view a lifestyle they may not have the opportunity to experience otherwise."

There's my plug. When the voting started, I just assumed I was out of the running when the first tallies were posted, but since I am tied for the last spot, I've decided to give a last little push. If you haven't voted and want to see what a gay man in NYC has to talk about (I've been told too much), put those last votes to me. Let this election go in the right direction.

Thank you for your time. :-)

Edit Profile, Newamush :) There is a place to upload a pic there.

yay! I voted for Newamush and after reading the above feel my confidence has been well placed. There is a very good rule about only voting once so we'll just have to see what the outcome is after the remaining members email their votes.

Newamush, I grew up in Manhattan , sailed on the QE2 twice and have also enjoyed some of the shows you mentioned (but not on the open seas). Do you also take the cruises when the shows are in performance? What a great life! Good Luck...

Thanks for your support Soeur. I guess being a little more self promoting could work.

The company I work for produces two full scale musicals aboard the QE2 which run continually. We also book 4 to 5 theme cruises a year (Floating Jazz Festival, Blues Cruise, Big Bands at Sea). Those I get to go on. I just got back in December from a 6 day Blues Cruise (what a horrible experience, but you guys will only hear about it if I get in the game, something to chat about) and will be going in May for our Floating Jazz Festival. The combination of work and play doesn't necessarily always work.

Will be posting my pic shortly. It is horrible, but I just don't have a lot of pictures of me. I have always been a "behind the scenes" person allowing others the direct spotlight, so I tend to shun cameras. Oh well.

Newamush - your scanner software should be able to save in different formats - try the SaveAs or Export or some other variation on the Mac. Or if you can get the tif file to your PC (most Macs can write to a PC floppy if I remember correctly) someone on the board could probably convert it if you sent it to them (Ocean_Island comes to mind - he is a graphic whiz).

Good job, Newamush! Now we know who we're dealing with!

Joni? Where's your pic?

I think we should vote from a list of applicants on who should be the Gator.

We need people who will stick around and not run off in a tiff for whatever reason. We also don't need any unneccessary editing going on.

I vote for Tuk, if he wants to be Gator.

I assume you mean you think they should have to apply specifically for Gator? The first time I read your post I thought you meant we should pick from players who had applied for Game II, but since Tukuul hasn't done that I figured I must have misunderstood you.
Digi: has this already been decided?

Nice job on getting the photo up, Mush.

Mishamisha don't give up the poetry. You have a real flair for it. Or should I say, don't give up the codeine?

Joni, your photo was there yesterday. Maybe the deadly but short-lived arrows took it down.
