The WYSIWYG Talent Show
Description
Urban Storytelling for the Internet Age
The WYSIWYG Talent Show is a monthly showcase for the oft-overlooked genius of bloggers in or visiting New York City. Although our events are comprised mostly of readings, any sort of performance is welcome, be it an original song, a dramatic scene, sketch comedy, burlesque, or whatever your twisted little minds can come up with. If you have a great idea for a performance, just let us know. If it sucks, we won't tell anyone, promise.
The only requirements to participate in the WYSIWYG Talent Show are that you keep a regularly-updated blog, will promote the WYSIWYG Talent Show on it, and that your performance fits with whatever the evening's theme is. If you're interested in participating, let us know on our submission page.
The Story Behind WYSIWYG
In January 2004 Chris Hampton and Andy Horwitz, both long-time bloggers, were having a drink at a P.S. 122 party and joking about Valentine’s Day, which was fast approaching. Chris said, “The worst, most embarrassing sex I ever had was on Valentine’s Day. In a home for developmentally disabled adults. I’ve got to post that story to my blog.” (With a staffer — not, she wants everyone reading this to know, with a resident.) Then she paused and said, “Hey Andy, you know a lot about putting on events — if I wanted to put together a blogger reading, how would I do it?”
