Phone-A-Friend sign-up list
The calls start going out today and the tape dates will be here fast. Figured we ought to go ahead and start a list of potential phone-a-friends for if (WHEN!) anyone here gets called.
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.

Re: Phone-A-Friend sign-up list
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.

I am a Google master.
But, I'm really going to have to like you if I'm going to spend a day waiting by the phone for you...![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
Edited to add: So, I will offer up my PAF skills on a case by case basis (sorry, cases on the mind after yesterday...) because it also depends if I decide to go to tapings or not depending who is in the hot seat, and based on my yet to be determined work schedule...

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.

Isn't it part of the rules that you have to have a landline phone in order to be a PaF?

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.

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.
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.
