If the Boot Fits It Must Be DaleBoot
Since 500 B.C., people have been strapping wooden sticks to their feet and sliding around on snow. However, while the sticks have changed dramatically, the footwear that secures the rider to the ski has undergone little innovation. Fortunately, the pioneers at DaleBoot have charged themselves with the task of making comfortable ski boots that revolutionize the way people think about their feet. … read more
Photo Feature: Justin Bennee
25th Street in Ogden might be one of the few places I’ve ever shot photos where the cops seriously couldn’t care less about what you’re doing. It’s probably due to the number of crackheads running around on this block. One of the few cops who even bothered to stop to talk to us at this spot did so out of concern for our safety, and not from snowboarding but from the crackheads! … read more
Princess Kennedy: Tranamatronic
Back in the day, I worked as a go-go dancer at a club in San Francisco called Litter Box. The DJ was none other than the amazing Nature Boy, and he made sure that his go-go clan was made up of the most beautiful freaks of the underground scene.

Mike Brown: Speed Dating on Speed
So, here’s how it all started. My friend Grace (same Grace who pretended to be my wife when we stalked my ex-girlfriend) heard about speed dating and wanted to try it.

Gallery Stroll – March 2011
It’s said that March enters with the roar of a lion and exits with the calm and subtlety of a lamb. No matter its entrance, March marks a change in the season. This month’s Gallery Stroll picks were selected because they have entered the scene with subtlety, but they are boldly making roaring additions to the Salt Lake Gallery Stroll scene. … read more

Johnny Kolache: Friends Wanted Here
Johnny Kolache is a little coffee shop-sized pastry joint serving Czechoslovakian pastries in a number of fine and tasty ways. The white walls of the joint are covered with the enthusiastic autographs and mementos of many happy customers. Johnny Kolache might be the most intentionally unpretentious place in Salt Lake, and yet everything about the eats and the friendly help says that there’s a lot of pride behind this family and their homestyle food. … read more

Beer Reviews
The month of March is here, and we have already seen too many new labels from our local brewers to keep track of. With all the expansion I see going on here, I really worry most about the brewers. Goddamn, I hope they are finding some time to drink. Raise your glass and enjoy the lineup. We have an Epic Barley Wine, a Golden Ale from RedRock and an oaked brew from the boys of Bohemian. … read more
