Step 1. Get picked -- or at least get the application in early enough to get picked -- for the "auditions" for a game show. VH1's having this game show this summer, "World Series Of Pop Culture". It's being run by the same guy who brought "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" to America. Coincidentally. I got my 3 person team qualified and in 2 weeks we're going to see if we can pass the written test and interview in Chicago, the traditional first steps in becoming a contestant.

Step 2. Pass the written test and impress the kids working as production assistants on the show and move on to a mock game against other "winners". Unfortunately, step 2 in Chicago leads to a Sunday afternoon, the same Sunday afternoon as the final performance of "Butterflies Are Free". I expect my 3 man team to make it to this round and then I'll have to bail due to commitments to the play. Bummer. Of course, by saying that, I could be jinxing us to not even get past that first round.

Are you telling me you would put the play a head of a game show audition? And aren't the two other team members counting on you to be there if it gets this far? You have to turn your back on someone if the situation presents itself. So are you in it for the fame or the money.

The other guys wouldn't have known about it if not for me. And I did tell them at the start about the potential conflicts, so no one's getting shunned. I'll take some fame and some money, please.
