Sandria Miller Photography @ Tin Angel
As light reflects off of the cheeks of smiling teenagers, a foot plants defiantly in front of the raging crowd. A tattooed snake slithers from the ankle of that foot, up a bare leg, while a black cord coils around a pelvis with short black gym shorts, down and around the calf of the opposite limb. This is Henry Rollins. Sandria Miller has immortalized this moment in a black and white photograph at the Tin Angel Cafe. … read more
ManExpo Skate Contest
It was a David and Goliath battle Saturday April 10th at the Sandy City Expo center. An all ages pro/am skate contest blazed on for seven long hours. As local Utah rippers came out to compete for $4,000 in prize money. Local pros James Atkin and Adam Dyet showed up to show their support and rip it with everyone. In the end, and to no surprise, it was big time heavy hitter Greg Lutzka that took the first place check home along with his fresh new K-Swiss kicks. … read more
WMC – Best Parties and Sets of 2010!
Miami’s annual family reunion of DJs is as much a celebration of the best dance music of the past year as it is a preview of what you’ll be dancing to all summer—and what will be on the radio in two years. Rather than drone on about the nice weather (one thunderstorm withstanding), free drinkskis, amazing run-ins and a blogroll of namedroppings, I’m going to give you my own highlights of the festival. … read more

Princess Kennedy: Clan Kennedy – April 2010
I spend so much time hogging the spotlight that I feel it’s necessary to share a little secret: I’m not the only Kennedy in town. I inhabit this geographical stage with two other bright and shining stars. If you’re out enough you probably know my niece and nephew Anna and Wren Kennedy. We’re all extremely tall, very loud and bestowed with beautiful bedroom eyes. Our clansmen being musically gifted, Wren and Anna are working it out to take my torch and make us the Osmonds of punk. … read more
Food Review: Red Iguana – April 2010
When locals want to take their out-of-town guests to a great Salt Lake restaurant, the place where they very often end up is the Red Iguana. One of the most famous and best-loved restaurants in town, the Iguana has, over the years, developed a local cult following and a national reputation. When the City Weekly and Salt Lake Tribune recently did their yearly list of the best restaurants and both omitted the Red Iguana, the outpouring of protest mail was immense and heartfelt. Obviously, this legendary place has personality. … read more
