Put your name below if you are willing and available to be a phone-a-friend on any of the tape dates. I won't be at work the last week of July so I should be available for any of those tape dates. The first week of August I'll be back to work which would make it riskier for my availability, though I haven't researched the taping times so I might still be able to be work something out.
Gathered the information into a day-by-day format:
July 29
TheSearchIsOn - $64,000 winner on PT WWTBAM and million-point winner at PlayIt!
EugeneF - I am available for any of the days, and I wish that the show would let me do it everyday.
My fields of knowledge include history, literature, movies, opera, politics, religion, theater, art, etymology.
Oh what the Hell, just don't ask me sports or contemporary music (rap, grudge--anything since 1980).
As for my battlefield experience, I was on the OTHER gameshow, being a five-time winner (when that was the
limit) and finishing third in my Tournament of Champions. In a special tournment, I was the first human being to
beat Frank Spangenberg.
I also have been a phone-a-friend, and answered a $125,000 question.
Jeemie - Depending on the times of the tape dates, I am available for all the days.
Specialties are science, history, sports, and fast Googling.
1979 City of Champions 2009

2004 Florida State Geography Be Champion (yes, one of those purple shirt kids)
2005 Florida AAA Travel High School Challenge Champion (travel geography)

Others that may be available depending on schedules:
sunflower - I am a Google master.
Schliemann - i'm willing and able to be a phone a friend if needed.
i'm good on most things (geography, history, arts, sciences, social sciences, current events, sports,
whatever). if its a tv question from before the 90's don't call me.
i'm a two-time champion of the summer hiatus challenge on the sony jeopardy board.
i'm relatively young, i can handle stuff like current popular music and popular culture (i have no shame).
let me know how i can help.....just pm me. my schedule is pretty flexible i can work something out for
most days.
Weyoun - I leave for Greece July 31, but I am can be a PAF if needed. I'm 3 for 3 lifetime at PAFs, and have some
experience on the show myself.
And the taping schedule, as provided by MarleysGh0st:
Here's the schedule that was copied from the ticket request page:
July 29th 2:45pm
July 30th 12:15pm
July 30th 3:00pm
July 31st 12:15pm
July 31st 3:00pm
August 3rd 12:15pm
August 3rd 3:00pm
August 4th 12:15pm
August 4th 3:00pm
August 5th 12:15pm
August 5th 3:00pm
The second episode of each day should probably be completed between 5 and 6.
I presume PAFs will also need to be available for a morning briefing call.
Incidentally, they don't have the July 29th date listed on the tickets page any more (booked, I presume) but they do have July 28th at 1:30 pm. That's probably a rehearsal session.
