Being crowned by total surprise as Miss Underground NYC was
the most flabbergasting moment in my life!!!! If I could crazy glue
the crown to my head I would cause I feel so honored and grate-
ful and so happy that ReWandWhO really brought joy to people
I can't predict the future but I truly believe something I don't
know yet will come from all this
that night felt like my sweet sixteen bat mitzvah wedding 'this is
your life ' all rolled into one!! I never felt anything like this before
and I'm forever glitterized ThaNku everyone so much from the
bottom top side to side of my heart forever xXx
Ray Galindo:
Rew Starr is one of the most self-less and warm-hearted people
that I have ever known. Rew
gave me the opportunity
to learn to feel comfortable
with what I do. With her
encouragement, I combated
stage-fright and won! Her
inspiring persona has kept
me in creative mode for the
last four years. I have met
wonderful people through
my association with her. I
am honored to have been
asked to help organize this
wonderful tribute concert
for her. She deserves it! I
wish her success in every-
thing that she pursues. I love
Rew Starr! Long Live Rew
Starr, The Queen of the New
York City Underground!

The Rew show to me was a great way to see many of my friends
chatting away about crazy stuff. I never attended due to work but
watched many shows on the net. Rew was such a great host and I
know how excited Alice was when she got to be on the show and
the many times she repped as an audience member. The tribute
was a hoot with so many in attendance. All kicked ass and I was
so happy to see Rew take it all in and we could see that she felt
the love.
Alice Espinosa-Cincotta:
The Rew & who show was the perfect internet show where all
kinds of artists were given their Warholian 15 minutes to show-
case their talents and be inter-
viewed by the adorable hostess,
Rew Starr. This entertaining show
introduced or highlighted mostly
local artists. Quite often they came
back to the show and labeled repeat
offenders. Magically, I was a one
time guest and loved the 15 min-
utes I was given. I will miss being
a repeat offender audience mem-
ber. However, I am so glad that I
found this show and experience the
merriment from those Wednesday
afternoons.
At the recent Rew & Who Tribute
show, I attended as an audience
member . The Rew & Who Tribute
show at The Delancey presented
an entertaining evening with the
"repeat offenders" previously guests
of the Rew & Who show. The trib-
ute followed the traditional fifteen
minute format while all talents
and friends gathered to honor the
much loved internet show hostess,
Rew Starr. That night the Queen
of whimsical local talents was
crowned in sparkly glittery fashion
and honored by all.

I have total respect for Rew
& Who, what Rew did for
the downtown scene was
selfless and wonderful, los-
ing the show is a loss to the
documentation of an amaz-

a pleasure and an honor, to
