Anniversary Party
SLUG Magazine celebrated its 29th anniversary with a party that offered a wealth of fun activities across two venues. Amid plentiful eating and drinking, RYE offered patrons an opportunity to explore local art, tarot card readings and virtual reality while Urban Lounge showcased live art and three SLC electronic artists (Thoroughbred , Nate Holland and UTA Trax ) dishing out their finest dance tracks. Here’s to plenty more years of SLUG !
