Wowie wow wow! Last night's sold-out "Worst. Sex. Ever. IV." was... well, I'd say orgasmic, but maybe that's not the best choice of words given the topic. Still, hearing funny stories about bad sex is always so much more fun... (more...)
Last night's 'WYG, "I'm Not as Think as You Drunk I Am: Tales of Extreme Inebriation," was as boozy and fun as one might have expected. Helen Damnation kicked things off with a story about pissing in Times Square --... (more...)
Dear Diary, Omigod! CringeyWYG was soooooo awesome! Okay, I don't think I can really keep up my high school voice for an entire post, but it really was pretty spiffy. Here's some post-show linky love: * Sarah B. has put... (more...)
Our third annual Pride extravaganza was Tuesday night, and a gay old time was had by all! Somewhere around a hundred people packed into Bowery Poetry Club to get their gay on, have some cocktails, and hear a bunch of... (more...)
Last month's "Prom Trauma" WYSIWYG was covered by Freek Staps, a reporter for NRC Handelsblad, a newspaper from the Netherlands. The story has now been published! Freek's blog post about WYSIWYG is here and a PDF of the article can... (more...)
I don't know about you, but last night's "Prom Trauma" show was WAY more enjoyable than my own damn prom! Lang Fisher kicked things off with her own true-and-tested four-year plan for how to become prom queen, Nichelle told... (more...)
Our first night at Bowery Poetry Club was hella fun, although we're going to have to learn how to pace ourselves a bit with the drinkies. BPC's bartender Uncle Shappy took good care of us and put up with... (more...)
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... (more...)
Oh, poor, neglected little WYSIblog! How could I have forsaken you? Apologies all around for how long it's been since we've posted. Our intern was handling the bulk of the blogging responsibilities but has gone on to greener pastures and... (more...)
(Sequined yarmulkes from Brucha Yarmulka) Last night's WYG had everything from tiny talliths to surreptitious Christmas tree smuggling. As a goy, I found it very educational and a nice change of pace from all the Santa fanaticism we're bombarded... (more...)
While half of New York had already taken off for turkey, stuffing, and forced family fun, a small but boisterous crowd showed up for last night's WYSIWYG. We had a blast. Luxurious prizes were to be had, and two lucky... (more...)
Between all the candy passed around at last night's WYSIWYG, our own Andy's birthday (okay, it's actually today, but whatever), and the great performances all around, last night might have been the sweetest WYSIWYG yet. Aww! Here's the roundup: Stories... (more...)
That line, once overheard by a horrified Frank Beekman, could well rival Dan's "Bring on the assfucking!" from the June '04 show for the title of funniest gay line ever at a WYSIWYG show. A few of last night's performers... (more...)
Phew! Last night's summer camp stories show was the perfect way to beat the heat -- P.S. 122's a/c was working perfectly (for which everyone was grateful) and the lineup totally hit a home run with stories that were funny,... (more...)
This morning in my inbox, I found this offering from Bradford, who was inspired by Joel to write a haiku about last night: eight gays share a stage fisting, midgets, and dildos Jacko would have smiled If you gotta boil... (more...)
We have pics from last night here. Sadly, we weren't able to videotape last night, so if you missed the show you're just gonna have to cross your fingers and hope some of the performers post their stories on their... (more...)
So Tuesday night after returning home from yet another WYSIWYG show, I found an email from Simon Houpt at the Globe and Mail. He had been to the show that night and was planning on writing about it. I was... (more...)
With the exception of Frank Beekman, who had to cancel but posted the story he had planned to read here, it seems that the peformers from this week's WYSIWYG aren't going to be posting what they read on their sites.... (more...)
Hey kids! Video mastermind Rich Calarco, who so generously taped our show Tuesday night, is working away at getting clips together for those of you lameasses who didn't make it to see it all in its live sweaty glory. Of... (more...)
Another month, another WYSIWYG! Last night's show, "The City That Never Shuts Up: New York Stories," was surprisingly packed -- we sold over 30 tickets ahead of time (!) and were filled pretty much to capacity (or maybe we even... (more...)
Pics and videos of most of the performances at last week's WYSIWYG Talent Show -- "Spawn. Of. Worst. Sex. Ever." -- are now up here! Also, it's never too late to post links to reviews and stories! Jeff of The... (more...)
We may not have the pics of the performers up yet from Tuesday's show, but I've just uploaded a couple I took of our wonderful audience here. I have one thing to say to you people:... (more...)
WYSIWYG turned a year old last night, and I think it's safe to say it was a success! Huuuge thanks to my co-conspirators Andy and Dan for everything you do, to P.S. 122 for being such a great venue, to... (more...)
That was fun, yo! Last night's WYSIWYG Talent Show, "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," was a blast, starting off with Rich Villar's heartfelt ode to Puerto Rican home cooking. Guy Brighton wanted us all to know that his blog... (more...)
Favorite moments of the night: when Anne of the Hazzards (who have a five-piece band with glockenspiel and harp) pulled out her cowbell and some girl behind me was all, "OOOOH! Cowbell!!" and the elderly couple in the front row... (more...)
Hey, check it out! We've got some pictures up from last night's show! I had a lot of fun, and everyone there had a lot of fun, and everyone who thought it was too cold or whatever to come out... (more...)
As Andy's brief rundown mentions, last night was a particularly boozy WYSIWYG (not surprising, considering the subject matter was focused on families and family gatherings - I know I certainly need liberal dosages of liquid courage when dealing with my... (more...)
Another month, another WYSIWYG! Last night's show was a blast, although we woefully missed out on the delicate flower that is Blaise K., as she was too flu-ridden and sickly to make it. Feel better, puddin'! I've been looking... (more...)
Last night was a blast! Last month's panel was interesting and all, but it was SO nice to get back to our usual schtick of good people telling good stories. Sparky took lots of pics and Kiri videotaped, so we... (more...)
IMHO, our latest show — IMHO: Blogging, Politics, and Personal Voice — turned out even better than I'd hoped. (You the audience are heartily encouraged to support or contradict that in the comments.) It was an ambitious assortment of... (more...)
