Don Bajema is the author of two books, Boy in the Air and Reach, published by iconoclast Henry Rollins. He wrote the stories for the Sundance Film

Festival Grand Prize Winner "Heat and Sunlight", and Village Voices' choice as Top Ten in 2000, "Chalk".

Europe reading from his work.

J  Milligan has written "The Wisdom of Big Bird" with Caroll Spinney and "Jack Fish" a novel about a spy from Atlantis on a mission in NYC.  He is the Creative Director of Sesame Workshop's Digital Media Group, which means he writes and directs stuff for Sesame Street's website.  He lives 2 blocks from Hootenanny with his wife, Amy Yang, his kids, Luna and Mars, his mother-in-law Lily and 3 cats, so it's an easy commute. 

Anthony Carelli was raised in Poynette, Wisconsin, a rural town that smells periodically of sauerkraut.  He left, and has lived in many places since.  His poems have appeared in a few New York City magazines, including Washington Square, Columbia: a Joural of Literature and Art, and The South Brooklyn Reader. In March of 2007 Anthony published a small, limited edition book titled Cinco Poems Five Poemas  (Epistola Press; Santiago, Chile).  He is currently living in Brooklyn and working at The Pie Shop in Windsor Terrace.
