All The People You Love on July 2nd

BOGS VISIONARY ORCHESTRA
Bogs Visionary Orchestra’s imaginative approach to performance has won them audiences at alternative venues like the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art. The inclusion of their song Everybody’s Broken on Mews Too: An Asthmatic Kitty Compilation attests to their quirky nature and Indie Folk appeal. Led by the simple arrangements, memorable lyrics and peculiar vocals of artist/performer A. Bogs, BVO’s motto always rings true, “Art is for folks!” Check ‘em out at www.bogsvisionaryorchestra.com

ADAM SANK
Adam Sank is the host of Adam Sank’s Gay Bash - a hilarious monthly showcase at New York's Comix comedy club. He also hosts the popular Electro Shock Therapy Comedy Hour weekly at Therapy bar. He has performed at major clubs throughout the city, as well as Fire Island (The Ice Palace at Cherry Grove), Rehoboth Beach (The Blue Moon), the Poconos (Rainbow Mountain Resort) and Cancun, Mexico (Atlantis Events). He has appeared on VH-1's Best Week Ever and ClearChannel Pride Radio, and he opened for Hal Sparks during six sold-out shows during Gay Pride 2005. Check out www.AdamSank.com

BRENT EDEN MCCOY
Brent Eden McCoy grew up on a dairy farm in Northeastern Vermont. He spent his formative years tending to the cows and running a weed whacker. He then learned to juggle, and despite several years of social isolation and esoteric dorkdom, he has become quite the showman. He's performed at festivals, theaters, airports, laundromats, (okay, not really laundromats) around the world. Whether he's wielding five safety cones, untangling a tape measure, or climbing atop a big orange ball, Brent's humble and charming character will clown his way into your heart. Brent lives in Brooklyn, NY, where practices, paints, and prolongs his childhood. Check out www.BrentMcCoy.com

PROJECT JENNY, PROJECT JAN
No, Brooklyn’s Project Jenny, Project Jan has neither a Jenny nor a Jan, but the music of vocalist Jeremy Haines and electronic maestro Sammy Rubin will find you hard pressed to pigeonhole. Project Jenny, Project Jan released their first self-titled EP and offered the mp3s up free-and-legal on their site. The press took notice, calling it a “shockingly dynamic, danceable, and hilarious affair” (Billboard) and “incomparable” (Deli Magazine). Their engaging live show got its well-deserved attention too: “This is a band that should be taken seriously, even while singing about homemade sex tapes and the Chinatown bus.” (gothamist.com)Check out: www.ProjectJennyProjectJan.com

GREG WALLOCH
Greg Walloch is a writer and performing artist. He has toured everywhere from Sydney Australia's Mardi Gras to Performance Art Platform in Tel Aviv. He has appeared on everything from The Howard Stern Show to Kurt Anderson’s Studio 360 on Public Radio International. Greg has a thing for Skaters, Surfers, Cowboys, and Celebrity Chefs.

Jim McBitchy

New Jersey: News - Former Gov. Jim McGreevey said he's not to blame for poor sales of his estranged wife's book, instead blaming the failure of her book in part to "...her awful appearance on the 'Oprah' show, where she wore an inappropriate and ill fitting ball gown with a plunging neckline." He's sitting at home in the afternoon watching Oprah and ranking on women's clothing? Hey, congratulations Jim McGreevey, you are now officially gay!
