Inversion Trawler: MURGATROID, THE DISEMBODIED FLAPPER – August 2008
Apparently we’ve got ourselves a spirit guide of sorts. Aunt Leona brought us the news in full dramatic Leona-excito-flutter. Her white Chrysler Le Baron convertible screeched to a halt in front of our house, and we heard the rapid and distinctive click-click-click of her open-toed heels along our front walk as she hurried to our front door. Boo and I were sitting in our side garden, just out of view of the front walk, so I called out, “Ahoy there Aunt Leona.” … read more
Mike Brown: The Girl’s Room
I got a new job working the door at a local club. I won’t say which clubbecause it’s really messy in there and a health inspector could be readingthis. I’ll just say it’s more of a venue than a bar, gets loud and sweaty onthe weekends, and has some of the fastest bartenders in the west.

Alternatively Wired: A 10-Year Anniversary Celebration of Area 51
Alan Moss isn’t typical, and his club, Area 51, isn’t run-of-the-mill either. It is somewhat surprising to learn that Area 51 is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Area 51 has stuck to alternative and ’80s music and has been there to rescue goth/industrial patrons when they found themselves marooned without a venue. … read more
Dear Dickheads – August 2008
I find it so interesting how Utah’s sub and countercultures so closely mimic the very mainstream culture they aim to resist and rebel against. … read more
