The Bagman: Nathan Larsen of Velo City Bags

May 6, 2013 by Alexis Bo Leave a Comment

When Nathan Larsen was commuting 30 miles a day to his courier job, it didn’t take him long to realize that no one was making the bag that he wanted. He needed more pocket options to stay organized. He wanted a bag with a modern, clean look, made to withstand year-round Utah weather. And, of course, comfortable enough to carry for long distances. Nathan designed and … [Read more...]

Bboy Society: Not Your Usual Utah Pop & Lock

April 15, 2013 by Alexis Bo Leave a Comment

At open practice today, Josh tells me he’s working on power. That means advanced moves such as headspins and flares. He practices alongside 11 year-old Noah who is getting feedback from the older guys on his cracker-jack. These terms describe amazing acrobatic moves that dancers perform on city streets. Joshua “Text” Perkins, co-founder of the Bboy Federation, aka the “Fed,” … [Read more...]

Tif Blue of Peach Treats

February 28, 2013 by Alexis Bo Leave a Comment

Local designers and artists open small businesses all the time, but it is a rare thing when the business revolves around such a unique, high demand product that the business flourishes immediately and is able to sustain its start-up momentum. This is exactly what happened for Tif Blue, the owner of Peach Treats, a Salt Lake City company that creates hand-made gauges and ear … [Read more...]

Banding Together

May 3, 2012 by Alexis Bo Leave a Comment

Chances are good you’ve seen a local band perform, sometimes amateurs, sometimes pros, but you can bet that every musician puts a lot of energy into each show. Most local bands, however, can’t stay afloat and it’s not surprising why, but here are three local bands that work it: Aviatrix  – Alexis (vocals), Brian (guitar), Luis (bass), Adam (drums). Aviatrix has been on SLC … [Read more...]
