'Founder of media underground, I worked for 8 miserable years with a prominent defence contractor. Sick of being part of the problem, I self-destructed and contrived my dramatic escape. Author of two books on Thelemic occultism The Key Of It All and The Probationer's Handbook my early influences include Aleister Crowley, Bill Hicks and the works of Gerald Suster.'

'Currently residing in Los Angeles, California and exploring the area. You can usually find me recording music or connecting with other artists.'

'Second year History & Education student with an interest in conspiracies and all things Marilyn Monroe. Don't have any major influences, I seem to amble through life picking up and setting down things of interest. Originally from a small town, I have a near phobia of the small mindedness that saturates such places.'

'Influenced by early spontaneous peak experiences, consciousness becomes a malleable texture to be observed. Life is the great art we can participate within. Other than that, I'm a guy living in Tennessee.'

Paul Mayne (pmayne)

'A resident of Liverpool, I'm compelled to learn the truth whenever possible. Numerous writers have influenced my perspective, but the ones that have so happened to spark me off are Aldous Huxley, Alan Watts and Gerald Heard.'

'Stand up comedian and writer living in Kansas City, I go on the road two or three weeks a month. Described by David Fewster as being "the spawn of an unnatural union between Henry Rollins and Don Rickles," I just published my first book entitled Greyhound Diary.'

Anas K (asask)

'Live in Glasgow and have done all my life. The city's permeated more of my being than I'd like. Biggest intellectual influences: Valis by Philip K. Dick and Notes From Underground by Dostoevsky. Also Noam Chomsky, William Burroughs, Robert Anton Wilson and Bill Hicks.'
