Renaissance Faire 2015: A Knight To Remember
The sun was high and the ground muddy. Horses slipped as they attempted to trot through the jousting field. The sprawling grounds on which the Renaissance Faire is located were void of their weekend crowd.

A Brief History of Melancholy Book Release @ The Rose...
Often are the times that I have been to book releases and been bored to tears. Usually I’ll go to see a specific author and hear them read various parts of the book they are releasing, but by the end of it I wind up hearing bits of other books by other authors that I could usually care less about, and find myself habitually checking the clock to see when it’s going to end. … read more
Sometimes, Life Feels Like a Story: David Sedaris @ Kingsbury...
We hear a lot about author and humorist David Sedaris’ incisive wit and genius storytelling.

Gallery Roll – May 2015
Last year, in honor of National Bike Month, I took a group of friends on a Gallery Stroll bike ride. Later, one friend called it a Gallery Roll. When I researched it further, I found that Salt Lake Gallery Roll has been officially changing their name every May, for the last 10 years, to Gallery Roll.
