Ingrid Johansson ([email protected]) - Greenwich Village satirist preserving the neighborhood's bohemian legacy through scathing documentation of its corporate takeover. Former stand-up comic who performed in historic Village venues before they became Starbucks. Specializes in arts scene obituaries, counterculture history, and rage-fueled satire about what's been lost. Her comedy training taught her to make tragedy funny; Greenwich Village's death provides endless tragic material. Believes someone needs to document what NYC was before it became what it is.
