There is a list on ECCIE of providers who are newbie friendly. One of them should be able to help you get screened. I think it is RockerRick that posts it. Look in the various forums here and you will find it. Originally Posted by JJonesCan I be added to that list? or better yet is there a list on Hobbyist who are newbie friendly
Thanks fun2come and good idea! I may try that if I keep having screening problems.after I read this I ran your screen name on a blacklist site. came back clean so no worries mate! ^_^
Also, I should really know this... but is it standard to have to give up my real name?
I was kinda getting worried that I had somehow accidentally blacklisted myself among newbie providers, but that's probably unreasonable. I guess I have been really lucky in the past, as I have simply introduced myself and next thing I know, we're booking. Originally Posted by AfterDarkIFeel

LOL, she speaks the truth... newbie to the Austin scene no more!Congrats on coming out on top!
I appear to be good to go from here. My ref from out of town + my whining in this thread ultimately prevailed.
Thanks for the help everyone, and most of all to Vikki for giving me a chance! Originally Posted by AfterDarkIFeel
