Do you love BYT?
Do you love to hate BYT?
Do you want to write, take photos, make videos, style things, design things, interview people, run around DC telling people you write, take photos, style things, design things, interview people for BYT?
Now is your chance.
Last year, when we did this some of the best people that ever laid finger to keyboard/shutter came to us (Lexie, Ryan, Chris Chen, Peter, John Foster, the list goes on and on) and now there is room for more.
You can write/contribute about art, music, movies, design, dc, style, food, books, street corners and whatever else you find compelling.
We cannot pay you (we cannot even pay ourselves) but free tickets, endless street cred, limitless creative freedom and solid fourth tier local celebritydom await.
Send us a note about yourself and how we can help you help us and we can take it from there
the email to do so at is:

if you’re copy and pasting the email address above… don’t. It’s missing a letter. so it should be:
August 19, 2008 at 4:23 pmor do no because I just corrected it.
we also need copy editors.
I think Svetlana meant “do now”, not “do no”. Again, copy editors needed.
August 19, 2008 at 4:40 pmlulz. copy editing is part of my day job.
August 19, 2008 at 4:42 pmediting copy must be some level of hell.

i was informed by michael (BYT writer) that he is conducting interviews for potential BYT staffers this saturday night at club MDCCCXI. i’m just repeating what i was told - i am not affiliated in any capacity with this site.
i love club MDCCXI. too bad i won’t be there, but i think i’ve already got michael’s approval.
August 19, 2008 at 8:01 pmwhoa! i just read the rest of this thread (i only read eddie’s comment before) and you are discussing copy editing!? CRAZYCRAzY! what a concept!
To any and all applicants: please be good a editing your own work.
August 19, 2008 at 8:05 pmAmanda as part of my non-copy-editing duties, what in the fuck is Club MDCCXI?
Also: at. “be got at editing your own work.”
August 20, 2008 at 2:06 pmMichael, as part of my non-copy-editing duties, what in the fuck does “be got at editing your own work” mean? Don’t you mean “good.” Idiot, you can’t even copy and paste correctly.
Fuck you. My keyboard doesn’t work.
August 20, 2008 at 2:14 pmDamn, that Michael kid sure is hard on that Michael kid.
Cut Michael some slack, Michael.
