Two weeks ago the Tower Theater held their 8th Open Mic Night
film festival for local filmmakers to showcase their work. And at the
end of the night, for only the second time, a film ended up winning
both the Judge’s Selection Award, as well as the Audience Choice Award.
Back to Gallery Stroll this
month for a showing at one of SLC's most popular coffee shops. --- Beans & Brews played host to a showing of works from local artist
Shadow.
Checking
in here on the weekend, been a busy week. Last Saturday I made my
way to Fat Flake and Red Light, but here's a more detailed account
of that I wrote for the Salt Blog.
Saturday Night With Sarah Yes, here's your obligatory clip of Tina Fey vs. Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live over the weekend:(Bill Frost) for chefs on the March oh baby! The mission of the March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.
The local fashion scene has
been picking up steam again the past couple of years. Giving one store a
chance to thrive after so many others have been lost to development deals. --- Model.Citizen has been making a mark on East Broadway for over a year and a
half now, giving local fashion a place to flourish and customers a new haven
after the slow destruction of Sugar House. Offering some of the finest
the state has to offer, as well as national products that are sweat shop
free. I popped in to take some pictures and got a chance to chat with
owner Matt Monson about his store and where its come, thoughts on local wear

up New City Movement in 1998, born out of a party theme and transformed over
the years into a place to promote things in the scene that appeal to him, from
music to fashion to even design. And now after hitting the 10 Year
marker, as well as the One-Million Visitor tally this year, it doesn't look
like the Movement is going to stop. I got a chance to chat with Jesse
about the site, his impact on the scene and some other questions that came to
mind.
