Beer Reviews – February 2011
The month of February is here—we’ve recovered from the holidays, sent out our apology letters for any drunken mishaps and finally allowed our livers to start that healing process. Then the holiday planning assholes from above take a shit on us by infecting this month with cherub- and chocolate-packed mayhem, which only leads to more heavy drinking and probably some regrettable carnal endeavors. This lineup ought to put you in the mood for candlelit alone time with your lover or the random you picked up at the bar to ease any feelings of loneliness. … read more

Princess Kennedy: Stupid Cupid
It’s here! That wonderful time of year, when couples are forced to show their undying love for each other through overpriced bouquets of flowers, vomit-inducing quips by Hallmark and obligatory boxes of chocolates. I’ve kept it no secret that I’d rather lose a limb than be coupled, but what I hate more is feeling bad about it. As I’ve said, my opposition to relationships comes from my poor choice in partners—my last boyfriend was a porn actor and the one before him was a male prostitute. … read more
Mike Brown: Home Sweet Home
I hope to God, if there is one, that my landlord doesn’t read this article. I’m not concerned so much about the maintenance guy giving this page a gander. He’s a nice dude, but never really fixes anything in my apartment, anyway. I’m OK with not getting my deposit back, but I really like my apartment and an eviction at this point would likely be justified by the next 800 or so words. But fuck it … You all want to know how I live, right? … read more
Fuckin’ Nuts for Doughnuts!
I spent a decade of my life working in a grocery store, which allowed me to see just how bad the state of the American doughnut had become. In the old days, bakeries would mix the yeast dough from scratch and would use hot oil for frying. Recently though, it has become difficult to find a good doughnut. They’re often dry, overly sweet and too bready. Even when they’re fresh they taste like failure. I wanted something that would leave a more lasting impression. … read more

Remembering the Legend: C.R. Johnson
How do we honor someone who has had a profound influence on the life and personal direction of others? Paint a picture, write a book, build a monument? Let’s go skiing instead! This February 24 marks the day one year ago when the ski world lost one of its most cherished members, C.R. Johnson. Known as CRJ throughout the industry, his charismatic personality and upbeat attitude were contagious to all those who had the privilege of spending time with him. … read more
Ruckus Inc.
Benji Pierson, a.k.a. Ruckus, moved to Jackson Hole, Wyo. from his hometown of Seattle with little more than some art supplies and turntables. Making ends meet by DJ-ing parties, weddings, his own radio show and then working as a lifty at the local mountain, he started on his now-promising art career. Nearly a decade later, Pierson’s art has been featured on skis, snowboards, jackets and several prestigious snowboard and ski magazines. … read more
Copper Palate Press
A little more than a year old, Copper Palate Press has quickly gained a reputation for housing the vanguard of Salt Lake City’s burgeoning art scene by throwing killer screen printing parties and being an unmissable stop on any Gallery Stroll. More than this, however, the CPP communal philosophy is responsible for providing the ever-expanding collective with a black hole-like gravitational pull for all those fascinated with SLC’s art scene. … read more
