An Evening in Canterbury
Held at the Murray Theatre, An Evening in Canterbury combined an authentic 14th century seven course meal with amateur theatre and abundant cosplay. We were in the minority, with most folks decked out in bright felt renditions of Middle English Garb. The alcohol-free event consisted of four of Chaucer’s tales narrated by actors milling through the audience, while up on stage the rest of the cast performed a rough pantomime of the events. … read more
The Arena Premiere @ U of U Fine Arts Hall...
It seems that the question for riders of our generation is: What to wear. Tight pants or baggy? Which school of thought do you associate with: tree-huggin’, g-thuggin’ or tight-pants, wide stance? How do you decide? The pros you look up to are a good indication of what size you buy your pants… … read more

Beer Reviews – November 2010
With Halloween just passed and that neo-fascist holiday of Thanksgiving coming up, I figured why not review some of that crazy spiced, chocolate, pumpkin shit that everyone raves about. I love to see those crazy styles hitting the Utah craft scene, and with other breweries like Dogfish Head, New Belgium and Stone busting out all that funky shit, I say it’s time for Utah breweries to put our state on the map—throw whatever the hell you can into the bunch. … read more

Move Over Ronald, Keaton McDonald is the Real Burger King
With style so important in skateboarding nowadays, it’s great to see people out there still treating it like it’s supposed to be—fun. Before the fancy corporate sponsorships and all the jive that may come as we progress in this art, there was a simple reason (mentioned above) that we picked up this wonderful time-waster known as a skateboard. Keaton McDonald is one person out there who embodies this mentality. … read more
Jeremy Seegmiller: Too Hot to Handle
Last May, a small but dedicated group of friends and fellow shredders, including Jeremy Seegmiller and I, made the trek up to Mt. Hood. The plan was simple: shred, camp and rage, all while being as dirtball as possible. About two weeks into the adventure, things went terribly awry. A thirty-bomb of Milwaukee’s Beast, a can of white gas, and an unruly campfire later, Seegmiller was in the Portland burn center with second-degree burns covering most of his legs. … read more
Mike Brown Stalks His Ex-GF
Ah, the one that got away. The one you thought would last forever and ever and ever, keeping your stomach full of delightful butterflies. The one that first ripped your heart out Indiana Jones-style and introduces you to the cruel ways of love. The one who got hooked on crystal meth and made you realize you had to break up with her via a collect call from the county jail. This was my first serious girlfriend. … read more
