Mike Brown Gets All Twiztid
I’ve decided that this is the last time I write about Juggalos for a while. Sorry folks, but after attending the Twiztid show, I think the clowns are finally on to me. I know it’s not the same caliber of journalism as a reporter covering the war first hand, dodging bullets while taking notes. But I once again ventured into the eye of the Juggalo hurricane with nothing but a metaphorical umbrella and matching pink galoshes. … read more
Princess Kennedy: Herstory Lesson – May 2010
The gayest of homo-holidays is here! Since part of this year’s theme for Gay Pride is “remembering our past,” I thought this would be a perfect time to talk about mine. No, not my drug-addled past that you get every other month, but the past of my people, if you will. I remember seeing Vicki Marlane around. She was an older queen, 76 to date, and ran in a different circle, so I never took the time to get to know her story, but what a story it is. … read more

Food Review: Chow Truck – May 2010
Speaking of stalking, I’ve been stalking the Chow Truck for the past few months. The Chow Truck is a little bit like a bright yellow, wheeled version of the island on the show LOST—it’s considered sacred by some, and it has the ability to move around at will. I started seeing the massive catering truck long before I had the courage to approach it and prior to understanding that there was a website detailing where it would be and when it would be there. … read more
Vertical Diner: Jukebox Live
It’s Saturday night and you’re hungry. You’re in the mood to see some live music while you eat, but the only place you can think of is the bar and your hot date happens to be under 21. You drive by a steak house, sushi joint and McD’s and remember she digs being a vegetarian. She hints that the Vertical Diner is a delicious choice. It’s rated second-best vegetarian restaurant in Utah by City Weekly’s annual Best of Utah competition, and to top it off, they’ve added live music every Friday and Saturday night. That’s right, you’ve scored: burger, fries and a shake–without the meat breath when it’s makeout time. … read more
No Reservations: Anthony Bourdain in SLC
Anthony Bourdain knows his way around a kitchen. Currently using a string of spoken word gigs to work out some new material, the chef-turned-author-turned-television personality will grace our fair city in mid-June. SLUG recently had the chance to ask Tony about his planned visit to Salt Lake, his history of punk rock fandom and his perceived influence on the food industry. While we had him on the horn, we also asked him what he thought about several traditional Mormon dishes. … read more
Candy Cranks: Global Feminine Bike Recon
In a world (wide web) where typing “girls on bikes” into Google gives you boobs straddling top tubes, Candy Cranks is redirecting your search options. Founded by Meg Lofts in March of 2009, CandyCranks.com is where women from all over the globe come together to share all things bike-related from the female perspective. Why is such a place needed, a man might ask? Attend any sausage fest … I mean, bicycle event in Salt Lake City and it will be quite obvious that’s not where you go to meet the ladies. … read more
Mexican Millionaires
It all started with an opportunity to catch a free ride to Bahia de Kino, Mexico. The whole idea seemed impossible to me. How could I have fallen into a chance occurrence of driving to Mexico for an eight-day stay on the beach? The idea was so alluring and romantic that there was no possible way I could pass it up, especially knowing we would be driving, not flying. Traveling by road is a grand excitement that borders on obsession for me. … read more
Class of 2010: Seniors Rule
I’m nearing my mid-30s now and have been skateboarding for a while. I can honestly say I have wheels older than some of the kids at the skatepark. However, I have no problem going out on a Saturday for a day of skateboarding with Matt Winskowski and Garrison Conklin, who are currently in their teenage years. It doesn’t seem creepy at all, even though if I were to talk to anyone else from their school or even close to the same age, I would have nothing to talk about. … read more
