Charles Baird is living a lie. He is working as the best Image Tech for Raleigh, NC's News and Observer while putting himself through school. But we know the truth. We all know that Charlie just wants to be a contestant on "Win Ben Stein's Money." He'd do pretty well, too.

William Havanki may have the coolest job in the world. He works as a computer engineer for one of America's defense contractors. He gets a stack of cash, he does what he loves, and occasionally, he gets to blow stuff up. Too bad it's all top secret and he can't tell anyone about it.

Alice Hartzog still quietly grieves over her favorite band, That Dog, broke up before she could see them play live. It's a disease. Otherwise, she spends her days editing and her nights dreaming of a reunion show. She currently lives in the D.C. area.
