>Susie Felber (felberfrolics.blogspot.com) is a writer and comedian who has written and/or produced for Comedy Central, Lifetime, ABC Development and MTV Specials. She's written for Cosmopolitan, Women Who Rock magazine, co-authored a CD-ROM game for Simon & Schuster and has been a contributor to US Weekly’s “Fashion Police” since dinosaurs ruled the land. She's appeared on MTV2, Oxygen and multiple times on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" as a whore. By day, she's Copy Jockey at Court TV. By night, she dons a bit more powder and performs her socks off.

>Claudia Cogan, the comedian behind getthefoutofhere.blogspot.com, lives a double life. Trapped in an office for eight hours a day, she then unleashes her rantings, tortured and fantastical, to the audiences of New York by night. A writer as well as a stand up, she believes that the personal essay is the quickest way to get rich in our society and can't wait for the checks to start arriving. She encourages everyone except her bosses to Google her.

Originally from Wisconsin, >Jim Barrett (www.jimbo.info/weblog/) has been a resident of Washington, DC for about eight years. He has a checkered past as a park ranger, ferry naturalist, and Peace Corps volunteer in Kazakstan. After spending some time spinning his wheels on the .com skid row, he landed a nice job at the University of Maryland doing web and newsletter stuff. He finds it challenging to focus on his work, especially during the generally shirtless and sweaty la crosse training camp in August right outside his office window. Jim has been blogging on Jimbo.info since 1999, and had an early proto-blog long before that.

>Sarah Weinman started blogging at www.sarahweinman.com in October 2003 to procrastinate writing her master's thesis. Though the thing got finished, she couldn't stop blogging and it led her down some strange paths, like freelance book reviews for the Washington Post and the Globe and mail, stories published online and in print, and a monthly crime fiction column for the Baltimore Sun. She's moved far too many times to count but after two years in exile, she's back to where she belongs: living in Manhattan.

>Jonny Goldstein is a comedian, TV host, and narcissist, living in New York City. Jonny regularly unleashes his comedic inner beast on stage, cable, and his videoblog, jonnygoldstein.com. His inner beast does not bite, and that drool on your socks will come right out with a little hand soap.

>Jess Hulett started www.blindcavefish.com in the Spring of 2003 because she was bored at her temp job. These days, she writes promo copy for a dot-com. She wants to be a rock star when she grows up, but she'll settle for a book deal. Her work has appeared in Bitch Magazine and McSweeney's, and she whores herself out, both literally and figuratively, on Cosmopolitan's Bedroom Blog at www.cosmomag.com.

About WYSIWYG:

“Urban Storytelling for the Internet Age” -- The WYSIWYG Talent Show is a monthly series of readings and performances by bloggers living in or visiting NYC. The first WYSIWYG event was the messy, spectacular and wildly successful “Worst. Sex. Ever.: An Anti-Valentine’s Day Reading” in February of 2004. It has been followed monthly with variously themed evenings including June 2004’s “That’s So Gay: Tales of Extremely Gay Gayness,” and March 2004’s “The City That Never Shuts Up: New York Stories.” Each installment is an evening of funny and touching stories, songs and performances from some of the best writers and most interesting personalities on the Web.
