It is the color I use for someone who has passed the written test and gotten an interview. It will turn to blue when he reports his tape date. --Bob

I'm confused.

Did Drew go on a regular audition in addition to submitting his video audition?

No. He reported to me via PM information from which I infer with confidence approaching certainty that he passed the on-line test that followed his successful video submission. --Bob

All right, Drew, fess up!

Well, congrats, Drew, however you know!

I think I passed too, but absent a postcard, the only way I could be 100% certain is if I got 30/30- which I didn't.

Think it through. A postcard and a perfect score aren't the only ways you could be certain. --Bob

So far all he's got is a Happy Smiley and a green color.

Who knows other than that- Bob's being coy...probably under orders, since this info was PM'ed.

I can see he's being coy; I just don't understand why. Posting an update on the list seems to be a public announcement. If Drew asked Bob for help/advice privately (a request for Bob's 25th effort as a PAF, perhaps?) without wanting the news to be made public, then there shouldn't have been an update to the list. :wink:

No one asked me to keep any secrets. But I'm trying to remain faithful to my self-imposed duty to the Bored while maximizing the chance that I will avoid stealing anyone's thunder. --Bob

Guess what?

You stole somebody's thunder.

The details of when he's taping are pretty much irrelevant.

The update could have waited- you know almost everybody here is a) nosy and b) can put two and two together.

And if you DIDN'T steal his thunder, then this was much ado about nothing.

I did get "The Call," but I haven't been able to get back in touch with the AP yet. I'll reply with more when I get the date.

Congratulations! May I suggest that you start a new thread to that effect. You'll get a great deal of back-slapping, huzzahs, and other assorted words of encouragement.

And of course, if you need or would like an experienced PAF, many of us will be more than happy to volunteer. --Bob

Congrats on getting the call.

And I'd like to throw my hat in the ring for PAF if you need one. :D

Ditto from here! Let us know when your tape date is!
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.
