    Get THIS- I'm auditioning for a new Broadway musical called NERDS. It's about Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. I just got a script for it. Paul Allen is a character in this show. How hilarious is that?

    Thanks. I'm auditioning for the role of Bill Gates. I just learned the song "I Am Just A Nerd." Very funny.

    I could see you as a singing Bill Gates.

    Ever seen a game at MSG? Blazers @ Knicks Dec. 2.

    I wonder if it would sound good sung to the Bohemian Rhapsody tune?

    Thanks. I've seen many games at MSG. I used to live there. I had tickets to the Blazers game there last season but my plane there got canceled. I ended up having to drive from Milwaukee to Cleveland, the next game on the trip.

    The last game I went to there was last Thanksgiving. I think they played the Bulls.

    Good luck. There was a movie a few years ago about the formation of Microsoft, and the early rivalry between Gates and Jobs. Is this play related to that?

    [and remember to go to NETS GAMES!]

    Good luck, man. It's tough to get onto B-way.

    My cousin (well, we're aren't actually blood-related, but the families are close and I've known him since birth) is on Broadway right now. He landed his first role when he was young as Gavroche in Les Mis. He's crazy talented.

    I don't know if it is or not but that is what the show is about.

    Good luck!

    Judging from the pictures you posted, you already have the wardrobe for it.

    On another subject, there's a Paul Allen who builds computers at Free Geek.
