This was unexpected.
A few weeks ago I decided to try the on-line version of Jeopardy to see if I could possibly get on the show. I didn't do as well as I thought I would, and quickly forgot about it.
Lo and behold, I got home from a terrific night at the Symphony, and what did I find in my e-mail box but an invitation to go to New York on May 25th for an in-person audition! I thought about it, decided that I had nothing to lose, and so responded in the affirmative.
So. It looks like I will be in New York on the 25th. Given that Amtrak would require me to be on the 6:30 am train (yuck), I am considering going down the night before and finding either a cheap hotel room or crashing with someone...suggestions? Possible sites for couch-surfing? I am clean, quiet, and neither drink nor smoke, and will avoid cat jokes if desired....
