— The sweetest hangover —

Posted by Ringmaster at February 15, 2006 11:26 PM

Wow. Almost 200 people crammed in for our last show at P.S. 122 (more on that in a moment) for our THIRD installment of "Worst. Sex. Ever." and it was fucking awesome, frankly. I'm *still* walking funny.

That handful of empty seats you see? Totally full by the time we started. It was standing-room-only and absolutely insane.

As always, some performers may choose to post their stories or their thoughts about doing the 'WYG online after the show. Here are the ones that I've found so far, and I'll add additional links as they appear:

* Hanne's take on the evening and her story are here.
* The Assimilated Negro has posted his story (along with the song he'd planned to perform but couldn't due to time restrictions) in several parts on his site, starting here.
* Greg Walloch's take on the evening is here.
* Desiree's thoughts on the evening are here.
* Audacia's rundown is here.
* Todd's got an excerpt of his performance here.

And a few bloggers in the audience have posted thoughts and reviews too:
* Mike
* Byrne (with a promise to write more later)
* Jen Dziurna (who, along with Allison, The Assimilated Negro, and myself, got to play a small role in Todd Levin's piece)
* Curly McDimple
* Joe. My. God.
* Cornfield Streaker
* Jewgrrl
* DrunkBrunch
* Jase (with ratings!)

Other bloggers spotted in the audience who haven't mentioned the show yet on their sites but might at some point, maybe, hint hint: Cheryl B., Marky Mark, Blaise K., Jen, Lisa, and Heather. I'm sure I missed a ton of people -- blame the stress, the performance high, and the Southern Comfort!

Thanks again to all of you who braved the crowds to join us, thanks to Dan and Andy for being such wonderful partners in doing this craziness, and thanks to the performers:

* Todd Levin (http://Tremble.com)
* John "Jonno" D'Addario (http://jonno.com, http://Fleshbot.com)
* Hanne Blank (http://misia.livejournal.com and http://hanneblank.com)
* Greg Walloch (http://gregwallochblog.blogspot.com/)
* Desiree Burch (http://mebigyoulittle.blogspot.com/)
* The Assimilated Negro (http://theassimilatednegro.blogspot.com/)
* Audacia Ray (http://wakingvixen.com)
* Emily Deprang (http://pigeoninthesun.blogspot.com)
* With music from dj:ayden (http://thebutchcaucus.blogspot.com)

And special sweet thanks are due to Allison of The Brazilian Muse and Richard of Sturtle.com for providing the performers and a few lucky other folks with a buttload of delicious cupcakes. Oh, yes. Sadly, I didn't manage to get a pic of Allison's cupcakes (which were homemade and CRAZY delicious like Red Vines and Mr. Pibb) but here are the ones Richard sent over from Sugar Sweet Sunshine.

Craft services, WYSIWYG style!

We hope to have have video of all but two of the performances available here on the site as soon as possible -- will keep you posted!

As I mentioned, next month we're moving to Bowery Poetry Club (although we hope to come home to P.S. 122 for special events from time to time). The folks at P.S. 122 have been wonderful to us for the past two years and we'll always be grateful to them, and it's sad to be leaving. But we've long wanted to be in a space that's a little more conducive to socializing so people can have a few drinks during the show if they want and stick around to hang out afterwards. We'll be launching WYSIWYG 2.0 on March 21 with "Starfuckers: Close Encounters of the Famous Kind" -- more info on that soon!!
