Some of her past stints include positions as Editor-in-Chief of the Filipino Intercollegiate Networking Dialogue (FIND) and National President of Sigma Psi Zeta Sorority. Despite having a meaner right hook than most serif fonts, she's a sucker for a binary sunset. Robynn Takayama Robynn Takayama is a community artist whose audio work has been presented through video, web, radio, and gallery installation in San Francisco, Berkeley, Los Angeles, and Chicago. While working at Kinko's, she published Static, a print zine on scams, pranks, and workplace sabotage.

Courtney Patubo Courtney is a Bay Area native, and simply cannot imagine living anywhere else. Photography is a hobby of hers, although she immerses herself in creative endeavors of many types because art is pretty much her life. Currently working in the Design Studio in Marketing at Sony PlayStation, she is completely happy to be working professionally in a creative environment. Blogging in some form or another since y2k, her personal website can be found at CourtneyP.com, where you can find more info on her blogging activities, which includes writing for Metroblogging SF, the SFlickr group blog and many others. Annie Lin New York-based Annie Lin is a 5'4 guitar-toting pixie who plays quirky, acoustic pop. Often compared to such artists as Aimee Mann and Mary Lou Lord, she brings off-kilter charm and rock n' roll ferocity to the rarefied genre of folk. She has shared stages at clubs and festivals with artists like Trish Murphy, Sarah Harmer, The Reputation (Elizabeth Elmore/ex-Sarge), Edie Carey, Bonfire Madigan, and Terri Hendrix & Lloyd Maines. Influenced by obscure indie and lo-fi folk artists like IDA, Juliana Hatfield and Liz Phair, Annie writes songs that might be classified as both FM-friendly and acoustic. Annie recently returned from a winter East Coast tour with the Asian-American Songwriter Showcase and is slated to releaseed her recently completed record, "Truck Was Struck" Min Jung Kim Min Jung Kim is a bay area writer, long time blogger, and leading humor columnist for KoreAm journal and anyone else foolish enough to pay her for her rants and musings.
