Thanks for the welcome all you guys. In re-reading my application, I noticed that there really wasn't a lot of information about myself. So I hereby rectify that by dropping a brief, but more detailed, biography.

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 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.

I hope you find me and my background interesting enough to be a part of the game and look forward to hearing back from you.

I noticed that you're requesting photos. I'm working on it. I don't have any decent pix of me yet, but will be putting up a site shortly.

Looking forward to dealing with all the board members.

I know I came on late, so what do I need to do to get some votes????

I don't have any relationships with anyone on this board, so I will have to do a board-wide plea. I guarantee you guys won't be disappointed in choosing me to become a part of this game. Upon hitting my "Mid-life Crisis," I think this game will be my opportunity to shake off the past and look forward to the second half of my life. I couldn't think of a better starting point. Hopefully this situation will give me an opportunity to review what I have learned in my 40 years and give me the chance to open up to new experiences for the next 40.

So, guys......Help me re-evaluate my life and vote for me.

(I think that was all so shameless, but what ya gonna do)

Now that I have made myself known, just a few questions:

In the event that I am chosen, when do you guys expect this game to begin. Do I have much time to "rally the troops?" Unfortunately, I didn't follow the first round of the Game closely enough to see how it worked from beginning to end. I assume there are rules that we would be given, etc. The more I become involved in this idea, the more excited I am getting. Looking forward to meeting more people.
