Slowtrain
Since 2006, Slowtrain has been a fixture on Broadway (300 S.). Through a blog, Twitter, newsletter and Facebook, they keep their customers in constant contact, which may be the key to their success. Apart from their social networking, Slowtrain has also put on some really good shows (the majority of them free) that undoubtedly inspired loyalty amongst local audiophiles. Slowtrain’s ncredible level of involvement with local music has made it an indispensible local feature. … read more
Urban Lounge
In 2008, after nearly a decade of working at Urban Lounge doing sound, Chris Wright became majority owner of one of Salt Lake’s most prominent 21+ venues. “I put in a lot of blood, sweat and tears into the place over the years. It was a ‘home away from home’ and I just couldn’t imagine Salt Lake without The Urban Lounge,” says Wright. “When I heard it was in jeopardy of going out of business, I put a team together and we were able to [purchase Urban].” … read more
Blue Plate Diner
Since 2000, Blue Plate Diner has been a favorite of local scenesters of every age. Owners John Bouzek and Tamrika Khvtisiashvili attribute the unique diner’s style to falling in love with an old 1940s soda fountain in Salina, Utah while they were passing through on a road trip. Inspired, the two combined their fondness of mom-and-pop cafés and appetite for authentic American cuisine with Bouzek’s cooking skills, and Blue Plate was realized. … read more
Tempest Couture
Tempest Couture is definitely making a name for itself as a unique and premiere boutique. The shop came about because of the love that owners Melissa Christensen and Patrick Bogdanich have for designers that no one in Salt Lake was carrying. Tempest stands apart from everything else because of the edgy bondage-chic style they present. The pieces in the store have more attention to detail and are better quality because they come directly from the designers and artists. … read more

A new breed is stepping up and delivering some of the most amazing, mind-bending performances the world of sports has ever seen. The film’s creators, Russ Sturges and Tyler Bradt, take the viewer on a journey through the expanding territory of whitewater kayaking and deliver a visceral experience that commands attention. Both Sturges and Bradt have had successful careers in the sport, but making the transition from athlete to filmmaker has proved to be as challenging as it has exciting.

However, a few minutes into the film, it was abundantly clear the main focus of the documentary was about how fucked up he is. By that I mean he has gone through a lot of ups and downs to get where he is today.
