The moment their set began, it was as if a tsunami washed over Kilby Court. Their drumming pounded against the walls—hitting home the idea that waves of twangy, guitar riffs were just around the corner. … read more
Salt Lake Comic Con 2014: Ron Perlman Panel
I was so thrilled when veteran character actor Ron Perlman got added to the SLCC guest list right before the Con opened. I’ve been a fan of his smooth baritone voice and charm since I was a kid. He’s had such an eclectic collection of voice and screen work, including his most famous roles as conflicted superhero Hellboy, that I didn’t know what to expect from him as a person in a panel session. Turns out, the dude is just a stone cold badass on every level. … read more

Salt Lake Comic Con 2014: Tabletop Games and RPGs Day One
My draft started off pretty weird, and I was forced to switch colors with surprising frequency. However, with the aid of a few off-the-wall conspiracy cards, I was able to make a Bant (White, Blue and Green, for the uninitiated) deck with a strong Selesnya-fueled token theme. If I’ve already lost you, then just think of my deck as a random assortment of zoo animals bursting out of the trees and stampeding over my opponents. … read more
Welcome to Night Vale: A Traveling, Creepy Radio Show
When I try to describe the Welcome to Night Vale podcast to people who have not heard it before, I hark back to the times of old radio shows. A time when families would crowd around the radio to listen to stories told strictly through sound, character development and plots that were easy to keep up with. It’s just like that, but it takes place in a town where nothing is as it seems, everything is scary and the government is terrifyingly awful (or awfully terrifying). … read more

Welcome to Salt Lake, Night Vale
I was stunned upon first walking up to the Rose Wagner Theater on Monday. Hundreds of people were crowding the sidewalk and lobby, at least half of them in cosplay. The crowd was a sea of black, purple, white and gray – and mysteriously ominous-looking eyes were painted on every other body. … read more

Grendel 101: An Interview with VLRK
Finally, a powerhouse aggrotech EBM artist is making a stop in the Beehive state. Regretfully, most of these musicians pass over us, completely unaware of just how dedicated our music community is. I am very excited that the word is getting out about how fanatical we are when it comes to music. … read more
