Upcoming Contestant, new to the board...
Hi all.
Just wanted to say hello. I'm an upcoming season 29 contestant - taped this past week for a 4/9/13 air date. Also new to the board... I lurked a bit previously as a test-taker, but haven't been by in a long time.
Looking forward to hanging out...

Welcome to the board!
That reminds me, slam hasn't posted anything here for six months. If he doesn't respond to this one, maybe there's a reason . . .

Re: Upcoming Contestant, new to the board...
Welcome, Adam! There's a thread called "Introduce Yourself Here" or something, but it's not like it's easy to find. Anyway, that thread specifies the basic questions we like newcomers to answer. In the case of an actual contestant, we like to know the following.adam_h wrote:Just wanted to say hello. I'm an upcoming season 29 contestant - taped this past week for a 4/9/13 air date.

The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

The main reason that I don't pop by here more often is that I'm routinely behind in my J! viewing. I eventually do get to all the shows but find that I'm still catching up during the summer hiatus. For example, I'm now watching shows from early October. So, I don't bother to look at the daily threads (except on some rare occasions) to avoid spoilers.
And as far as one day growing up and becoming a real live contestant, I certainly haven't given up, but am not particularly optimistic. The last time I was even in the pool was from a June 2009 in-person audition following the January 2009 online test. I took and presumably passed the online test in January 2011 and 2012 but never was invited to an in-person audition. Oh, well.

Slam, I hope you make it onto Jeopardy! and win several games before I defeat you.
