KoraLee Robinson is obsessed with all things old and weird, cats and crafting, antiques and apples, dancing and dreaming, she has no time to concern herself with anything dull or conventional. While typing stories and thoughts, pondering the strange and lovely things we humans do, wear, listen to, and say, she infuses her musings with her soul’s whimsical point of view. She never takes herself too seriously, and drinks tea like a mad-woman.

Sarah Mowrey is a comedian, writer, and is probably wearing two mis-matched prints right now. As a comedian, Sarah founded UNM’s comedy troupe “Comedy?” which is as confusing to pronounce as it is to punctuate at the end of a sentence. Mowrey has been doing stand up since 2010 but has been able to perform in three states, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. Sarah asked her twitter friends what to put in her bio she got this response, “She has nice hair and tells the jokes.” That she does. Thanks twitter! Currently, Sarah can be found producing weekly shows at The Box Performance Space in downtown Albuquerque, every Saturday night! You can LOL @
