First, some personal history: In May 2004, I posted a message on a previous incarnation of the Bored with the title "Start spreading the news." It announced that I was chosen to be on
Super Millionaire with Regis. Then a few days later, I posted a long message entitled "In old New York." It recounted my contestant experience, from getting the Call to failing to make it into the Hot Seat. It ended with: "Maybe someday, I'll get another chance. Look out for a message entitled 'I'll make a brand new start of it,' and then hopefully, 'King of the hill, top of the heap!'"
I'm sure you've caught on by now that finally,
I'm going to be a contestant again!!!!11
Taylor called me early this afternoon. I'll travel to NYC on Tuesday, and get to the studio first thing Wednesday morning. My episode will be taped sometime Wednesday, or possibly Thursday. This time, I don't have to recruit phone-a-friends, but I can invite friends to be in the studio audience. Any interested NYC area BBs, please send me a PM.
I feel very lucky, and a bit guilty, to be getting this second chance. But by the time my episode airs, it will be 10 years since
Super Millionaire, so it's not too unreasonable.
