Mike Brown’s Monthly Dirt: Ogling the Olympics with Faye Gulini
Growing up in the Salt Lake shred scene, running into a pro shred head really isn’t a big deal. I’ve shared beers and blunts with several of them over the years, but they shall remain nameless due to the industry’s tendency toward drug testing these days. I’ve never had the chance to share a beer with a pro who got a taste of the Olympics, until Faye Gulini was kind enough to split a pitcher with me and her BF, Lil Jeff. … read more
Princess Kennedy: The Really Late Show with Princess Kennedy
I’ve decided it’s about time I get my own talk show. To the TV station powers that be: I’m witty, charming and pretty—and classically trained for acting on camera. Hit me up for a full list of credentials.

Skewered Thai: A Nice, New Old Place

SLUG Mag Gets Too BUKU
There’s just something about New Orleans. I think it might be the Cajun spice in the Gumbo, but the city just exuberates this attitude that I can’t explain. In a conversation with a local cab driver on my way to the BUKU Music & Arts Project, I mentioned that the city almost feels like a separate country. … read more
