SCDG/JCDG Double Header on 09.25
Saturday Sept. 25 was Salt City Derby Girls return to Salt Lake after being up north. To start off the double header, there was a bout between Junction City Roller Derby and Salt City Roller Derby. The bout was a charity bout benefitting the Road Home. Fans were asked to donate items like canned food, blankets, etc. The teams were both divided into the Black Mambas and the White Lightning, with members from each league playing together on the same teams. … read more
Saigon Subs Invade Redwood Road
Bánh mí (or Saigon subs as they are called in America) are a kind of submarine sandwich, that might also be a rite of passage for a secret society. If you haven’t had one, you don’t know what I’m talking about, and if you have, you probably have buddies with whom you share your passion for this amazing dinner-sized, snack-priced foodie favorite. They are cheap, delicious and like no other sandwich. … read more
Mike Brown: Boobs
When I asked the SLUG editors what they wanted me to write my article about this month, they were very specific. They told me not to write it about Mike Brown Fest 5 (Urban Lounge, Oct 30). Instead, they specifically asked me to write about things I am familiar with. The editors asked me to write about boobs, even though they both have boobs and I don’t. Now I’m faced with the challenge of writing 850 words about tits with a broken pinkie finger. I like a challenge. … read more

Started by the glamorously fabulous Lorrie Dohoney (aka Miss Lorrie Ann), the Slippery Kittens features some of the hottest talent this side of the Mississippi.

It’s Just a Jump to the Left: Doing the Time...
The Rocky Horror Picture Show shadow cast performance at the Tower Theatre is a Halloween mainstay that Salt Lake’s own Latter-Day Transvestites have been bringing us since 1995. A dozen crew members and a cast of nine (plus five or so extra trannies for good measure) regale the audience with their own semi-slapdash rendition of the cult musical while the movie itself plays on the screen behind them. … read more
Cathedral Collage
Did you know that September 19 is officially Utah Chamber Artists’ Day? Neither did anyone else until that date this year, when one of Governor Gary Herbert’s minions announced before the concert at the Cathedral of the Madeleine that he (the governor) decreed it so. It was a transparent bid at free campaign exposure, but the concert that followed more than made up for the rocky start. … read more
Donna Orbits the Moon
For a one-woman play about mid-menopausal schizophrenia, Donna Orbits the Moon seemed pretty spot on. The play touched on family, friends, bake sales and feelings of insanity. I’m no forty-something year old, but based on the reaction of the audience members of that age and their slightly amused husbands, I’d say it was relatable on more than a few levels.
