I once read somewhere that to be a great writer it helps to have a drinking problem. … read more
Mike Brown interviews Zane Miller
I had recently sworn off doing any more interviews for SLUG or anyone else for that matter. Not that I really write for anyone else, but if GQ had somehow resurrected my favorite author William S. Burroughs and was going to pay me in high-priced hookers to ask him a bunch of fucked-up questions and finally find out if he really killed his wife so he could become a homosexual junkie and such, I’d probably still say no. … read more
Mike Brown’s Tattoo Talk
So there was this Tattoo Convention thing a couple weeks ago. I was totally going to go, seeing how I have tattoos and all. I thought it would be cool to see other artists from different parts of the world with their different styles and accents and shit like that. … read more

Mike Brown’s Heroes
So every time I put out a new Leviathan, which isn’t that often, I always seem to neglect my SLUG writing duties. Leviathan #9 drops this month and my lack of focus is no different. So I was thinking … The last Leviathan was mostly stuff that I wrote for SLUG that didn’t make it in. So this month I’m returning the favor to SLUG and its readers by giving you guys a story that will not make it in the next Leviathan. Instead it’s my SLUG article! It’s a true story about the time I met my favorite skater, Eric Koston. … read more
Mike Brown: Some Stuff I Wrote About Beer

Then they have someone draw a cool picture that correlates with my soapbox, or I use a shitty picture that I have lying around. … read more
Mike Brown’s Juggalodown
My journey to the heart of the local Salt Lake Juggalo scene began with a phone call and ended with a bottle of Rock ‘n Rye flavored Faygo. Up until now I had no idea what the fuck any of this shit was about. Sure, I knew that they liked Insane Clown Posse and wore makeup, but other than that I was stumped. … read more
Mike Brown: The Girl’s Room
I got a new job working the door at a local club. I won’t say which clubbecause it’s really messy in there and a health inspector could be readingthis. I’ll just say it’s more of a venue than a bar, gets loud and sweaty onthe weekends, and has some of the fastest bartenders in the west. If youorder a Kamikaze there, the barkeep is done making it by the time youfinish saying the word “Kamikaze.” … read more
