Jeff Burns, film/video editor, is one of the principal inspirations for The Boy Bedlam Review. He is a writer/illustrator/film-maker scraping by over a vegan restaurant in Manhattan, New York City. He tries to keep a pinetree state of mind, but he reads the news too much on the same amount of coffee. An introduction to his first feature film, including trailers, can be found at thatsbeautifulfrank.com.

CONTRIBUTORS

Lauren Albert is a junior illustration major at Moore College of Art in Philadelphia, PA, where she lives with her tiger. She likes to listen to music, read, look at seashells, drink herbal tea, go for walks, do crossword puzzles and pictograms, draw during school, and sit at her window no_growing.livejournal.com.

Christine Balmes draws inspiration from the experiences of her three lives: as a child in Manila, Philippines, as an adolescent in Toronto, and as a young adult in the American Midwest. She is currently collecting ideas for short stories and learning how to make different kinds of omelettes. She graduated from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in April 2007. Her blog can be found at http://jiunabug.livejournal.com/.

Carmiel Banasky is a writer who will serve in the making of bold statements, who calls these four places her home: Oregon, Arizona, Missisippi, and New York, and who will someday reconcile creating and living and actualizing change.

Rachel D’Apice is a writer and comedian living in Brooklyn off the G train. Her written work has been highly commended by her parents who (due to a blinding familial love) see no flaws in her lackluster professional choices.

Gabriel Caplan plays guitar, sings a bit, and plays piano in "F" and so forth. Recently, he’s concentrated on playing lead for singer-songwriter Lola Johnson. Then there's "Soy Politico," a collection of his original tunes, mostly the humor pieces. Oh, and a blues group with Levent Baltaoglu on bass and Jim Bracken on drums. They’re the house band for the Spoken Word Cafe Blues Jam on alternating Tuesdays. He's been enjoying blogging lately, too. He calls his blogs "Fictional Memoir."

Jack Feldstein is a Jewish animator from Sydney, Australia. He is the pioneer of Neon Films. His trademark style is the “neonizing” of a combination of live action video recording and public domain material. Feldstein’s short films have been shown at film festivals around the world, including the Rotterdam International Film Festival, the Short Fuse Film Festival, and the Over the Fence Film Festival, winning numerous awards.

M.K. Hobson’s short fiction has appeared in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, SCI FICTION, Realms of Fantasy, Strange Horizons, Flytrap, Full Unit Hookup, and many other fine publications. She lives in Oregon City, Oregon and spends way too much time thinking about fast food. Her website is www.demimonde.com.

Patrick Kurp is a writer living in Houston, Texas. His blog isAnecdotal Evidence

Amanda Jane was born into her mother's log cabin in rural Maine, moments after her twin cleared the strange and wonderful path for her. Her childhood passed by in a canoe, fishing for pickerel, picking waterlilies for her sisters' hair, and singing love songs to god on a flute. Continuing to be very fond of wildflowers and no longer able to afford the personal compromise of indoor living, Ms. Jane currently lives in a green field with her son and their forest gardens.

Daniel C. Metz is a student of film history at the Tisch School of the Arts of New York University. Aside from his scholarship, he writes humor, plays music, tries to impress young women, and holds international correspondence with Jack Feldstein. He grew-up as a suburban New Englander and is yet to be rid of the scars. Some of his favorite dead people are James Joyce, Bix Beiderbecke, and Groucho Marx. His main aspiration in life is to be an Übermensch. And to look good in suspenders.

A. Rae Misfeldt is originally from Chicago, but spends long gaps of time in Amherst, MA. She belongs to Hampshire College, where she lives in an efficient bookish room and spends much time with bizarre fiction and poetry. The sorts of things you might wonder about her are: what smell is her favorite, why does she believe in yellow, who is the person she loves, what color undies she is wearing and where does she fall in the universe. She is partial to wordplay, nonsense and the work of Edward Lear. She is feeling your energy. Cleverness turns her on.

Leonard Allen Pierce, Jr. is ludickid. He is the 17th person in his family to be named Leonard Pierce – or, to be more precise, the third. It is no exaggeration, or at least not one that we should discourage, to say that Chicago owes its status as a world-class city to the fact he lives there. But, beyond that, he is a published author; beyond having actually been published in over a dozen publications that really exist or did at one point, he has also, in his imagination, been published in hundreds more, including some of America's most prestigious literary and arts magazines. To those who denigrate this activity as "lying,” Leonard insists: is not imagination a writer's most valuable tool?

SilverTiger lives in Islington, N. London, with partner “Tigger.” Most recently she worked as a library assistant but gave her notice in March 2006. Before that, she worked as an assistant in a bookshop. Before that she was a polytechnic lecturer. Before that she was a university lecturer and before that, an assistant teacher in a comprehensive school. Of all those jobs, she liked the public library the best. She likes being unemployed: it leaves time for all the other things that work tends to interrupt. Her blog is http://tigergrowl.wordpress.com/.

Stereolabrat has a vagina. And a big set of cold, steel balls. Her writing has appeared in various places, including here, there, that place, and the other thing. She went to college. A very good one. She also went to another school, which was also very good, if not better. This Stereolabrat person is a real whip. You can read her blog stereolabrat.livejournal.com or you take a long, hard look in the mirror and give yourself the finger.
