Contributor Limelight: Alex Cragun

Posted on February 20, 2013 (May 30, 2024) by Alton Barnhart

There’s dedication, and then there are diehards: Alex Cragun received his degree in Political Science in 2011 after writing for the Daily Utah Chronicle, which has led him to being the Vice President of the Young Democrats of Utah, a Spring Fellow for the Obama Campaign and a manager for the Seegmiller for Congress Campaign in 2012. Cragun practices the type of work ethic SLUG loves, and we were quick to snatch him up in October of 2011 as a copy editor. … read more

Skate Photo Feature: Gabe Dussurre

Posted on April 30, 2013 (January 24, 2022) by Alton Barnhart

Somehow, in all my years in and around the Utah skate scene, I had never met or even heard of Gabe Dussurre until a few months ago. Apparently, not only has he been around a long time, but he’s also been really good at skating for a long time. I had no idea. … read more

Benson and Ledges: Cameron Giles Lights Up the Street Scene

Posted on April 30, 2013 (January 24, 2022) by Alton Barnhart

Most BMX guys that I’m down with didn’t grow up with the luxuries of skate parks in which to mow down unsuspecting skaters—they advanced their skills with shovels and dirt in the woods, or by just mobbing the streets tricking on or off whatever was there. This is Cameron Giles, who, upon meeting me in my clownish snowboard gear, didn’t judge, but instead, offered me up a smoke. … read more

World of More Craft: Craft Lake City Spices Up The Valley

Posted on July 31, 2013 (January 24, 2022) by Alton Barnhart

Another year of craft explosion is right around the corner. Four seasons of preparatory functions have led up to a fifth year of artistry, which is sure to be the most successful and fulfilled Craft Lake City DIY Festival yet. Artisans from around the Salt Lake valley will coincide at the Gallivan Center from August 9–10 in a smorgasbord of handmade objects and mind-melting performances. This year, I was lucky enough to quiz four distinctly different artisans participating in the event. … read more
