Magic Camp Film Review
The image of a career magician has somewhat conflicting connotations in our society. From the faux glamor and extravagance of Vegas staples like David Copperfield and David Blaine, to the depressing depictions of socially awkward teens doing parlor tricks in front of heckling 5-year-olds and Gob Bluth––regardless of their success, they all started somewhere: As magic-obsessed kids. … read more

Deep Love @ The Rose Wagner 10.30
With the recommendation to wear funeral attire, I felt it appropriate to give some holiday cheer a go, and decided to attend this rock opera based around a cemetery theme.

Since most of us probably did not know what to expect from the show, this proved to be efficient in getting the crowd to appropriately respond with cheers, whoops and whistles throughout the evening. … read more
Gallery Stroll – November 2012
The Salt Lake Gallery Stroll takes place the third Friday of every month (with the exception of December, but more on that to come). Having this sort of marker for each month is great for slowing down and checking in with friends and the local arts scene. So, you’ve carved out the time, called up a few friends and are ready to stroll, but where? … read more
Beehive Spirits Film Review
For only being a 30-minute documentary, this film does a great job cramming the history of booze in the state of Utah, as well as highlighting what’s going on in the present day. … read more
Legend of Aahhh’s Film Review
Endless pristine snowscapes flow languidly over jagged, ominous mountain cliffs as bat-shit powder hounds blast along fifty-plus-foot drops at a breakneck pace. However, I’m not sure that any words in my vocabulary could properly encompass the mind-bending shots that Greg Stump and the gang have brought once again to theaters near you. … read more
