Mary Jane Poorman

Mary Jane was born in Houston and raised way out in the Hill Country, where eating out involved “going to town.” She moved to Houston to attend college and promptly fell in love with the city, vowing never to live anywhere else, ever. Growing up in a home where gravy is a beverage, she developed an addiction to fried chicken and bacon cheeseburgers, but has expanded (literally and figuratively) into a devoted fan of many different cuisines. In her spare time, MJ cooks, gardens, engages in home remodeling, loves live music, karaokes at every opportunity, reads, swills beer and wine (normally with a group of friends, of course), searches out new restaurants, vacations off the beaten path, collects old stuff of all varieties (read: crap and antiques), bravely attempts to play guitar and follows local sports, especially roller derby and football.

Eric Sauseda

A self-professed computer geek and Internet junkie, Eric can be found online most of the time sucking up bandwidth that makes most Internet providers cringe. During the few random days of a Houston winter, the heat from his computers keeps his home warm. He is also part of the Technology Bytes radio show, where he screens calls for the show from 8 to 10 p.m. every Wednesday on KPFT.
