"Who Wants to Be an Appellate Law Blogger"

"Who Wants to Be an Appellate Law Blogger": This afternoon, at my wife's urging, I traveled to New York City to audition to be a contestant on season seven of the syndicated game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire."

For those who are concerned about whether the author of this blog has an adequate grasp of trivia, I'm pleased to report that I passed the written test portion of the audition and thus was interviewed by one of the show's producers to evaluate "personality." The process was a lot of fun, and I thank another person who passed the written test -- a woman who lives near Seattle -- who kindly volunteered to me that the first thing she thought upon seeing me was that I look like someone who should be on the show.

The results of the interviews are not immediately disclosed at the audition, but, if I also "passed" the interview, I will be receiving a postcard in a few weeks advising that I'm in the contestant pool for this season. And then I can begin to evaluate whether I might be fortunate enough to have a certain public intellectual and prolific author based in Chicago agree to serve as one of my "phone-a-friends."

If any readers of this post have any questions about the audition process, feel free to ask me about it via email. Finally, it would take a lot more than one million dollars to cause me to walk away from this blog, so fans of this blog have nothing to fear, while critics of this blog are urged to start raising extreme amounts of money immediately.
