saturday- where did spring go? at 10:13 AM


Saying that i was disappointed when i woke up this morning to find that the blue skies were gone is an understatement. But its no surprise that spring is known for its erratic weather and in no time we will all be trying to escape the heat of summer. oh summer you just cant come fast enough. To get your mind of the gloom and doom of today and the knowledge of the snow storm coming tomorrow head out to one of tonight's rad shows.

MOJOS rocks Saturdays- MILAGRE of Brooklyn, NY will be performing in Ogden live@mojos. Milagre is signed by Kill Rock Stars. Local bands are OLD WORLD (formerly Matt Ben Jackson) will be offering their newly pressed CD, Descriptive, Marny Proudfit, Kat Day and more... This will be an amazing show. 7pm/7bux.

Brewskis Saturday showcase- mullet hatchet- all southern rock all the time just check out their promo video HERE

Acoustic Saturdays at the bee with brett turner- The music of Brett Turner has something most musicians only dream of. With guitar riffs that rival Tom Petty, lyrical storytelling reminiscent Sheryl Crow and Bob Dylan, and the ability to portray the rock and roll spirit of Mr. Johnny Cash himself, this talented one-man band is inventing his own genre. While touring the country promoting his debut studio album 'All Across America' Brett's infectious tunes have spread to fans young and old. As he continues to grow as a singer, songwriter, and performer, his style and stage presence have become unmatchable and all his own. 'All Across America' boasts ads on Spike TV and MTV2 and has been highly praised for its originality, and its ability to warrant the question, which song is my favorite?

Wine cellar's 7th anniversary with shaky trade-Returning for a second appearance....this band gives you all that, and then some! And, if ya missed 'em at the Mardi Gras Pirate Party...then here's another chance! Don't let the "Good Times" miss ya (again)!! They gonna fill you up....with they "funky" stuff!Cover: $5

Hello monday at 10:49 AM


Hello there dear readers,
The past few days have been so exciting and yet so frustrating. We toured the lovely Ivy lane reception center and fell in love. I really don't think we're even going to look at any other places. Now its just about saving and planning and trying to make it all come together. It is super stressful but i am trying not to let the monetary part ruin my excitement for the rest of it.

After we toured the ivy lane we went on a family adventure! We stopped in vintage cupcakes for pink ladies and got a dozen more for my tea party . Next, we went over to the tree house museum for some exhausting family fun. The tree house is so incredible and there is so much to do. We were all tired and ready for a nap before we could visit all the exhibits. After our exhausting run at the tree house hunter fell asleep and the boy and i were ready for some grub. I was craving wings and had a groupon for wing nutz so we headed over. I thought it was a regular restaurant but when i walked in everyone stopped and stared at us and our kid making us feel incredibly awkward so we slowly backed out of there and headed to our favorite spot- Roosters. There is nothing better when you're exhausted than biting into a giant burger and sipping on a cold drink. I love roosters, they are always so nice and the food is fast and good. I am the type of person who will be a loyal customer for life as long as the service is good and the atmosphere is inviting. Ive gone to places with top notch gourmet food that will bring you to your knees but the service was so horrendous i never returned. Roosters has both great food and great service.

After all that walking i was ready for home and as soon as i hit the couch i was gone. luckily it gave me a chance to get plenty of rest because in the morning i realized i had forgotten to go to the store for tea party supplies. Sunday morning was a gloriously beautiful morning and i had no problem motivating myself to hop on my bike and head over to the store. The sky was blue, the air was fresh and it was warm enough to bike without gloves. It was definitely a wind in your hair kind of day. The tea party turned out lovely and ended up being 2 parties in one. The first wave of party goers was mellow and sweet, the second wave brought the ruckus. Its a shame my camera died because everyone was dressed up so cute. I'll definitely have to host another party soon.

The house was clean, i had my Jammies on and i was going to get some writing done only to find my computer crashed....again. My laptop will only stay on for about 10 minutes at a time before just shutting off , and not from overheating. Its beyond broken, this poor computer needs to be taken out back and put out of its misery. Time to start saving up for a new one, hopefully i can get one before this one dies permanently.

CONTEST
Don't forget about the indie Ogden contest- Add an indie Ogden link or banner to your blog or site and if you bring in the most traffic of all the link hosts you will win a box of cupcakes and a musical surprise!

check the calendar on the right side of the blog for events today.

I am literally dancing for joy this glorious morning because i am going to get my hair done by the lovely Alison Compton at salon nouveau. I need a change and my hair is beginning to bore me. Since i have been falling in love all over again with Rilo Kiley decided to get a Jenny Lewis inspired do. To top it all off my sweetie surprised me with a mini shopping spree at modcloth.com. SWOON! They are having their annual cabin fever sale and a ton of amazing things are 75%off. I cant help but fall head over trendy heels for a company founded by a girl and her high school sweetheart. I'm thinking of starting a style blog to feature my love of vintage and to promote a local vintage shop called Urban chic. Any photographers and other clothing obsessed folks interested in being a part of this fantasticness? yeah..i make up words. Also I'd love to have local photo submissions of pictures of Ogden so send em on in to Bryanandmikki@gmail.com and ill link back to you! Check out terra45 for amazing photos pf Ogden.

In other news:

seriously? sick again?? at 11:47 AM


I don't know what happened to my immune system but this winter is kicking my butt. I have an ear infection , i cant hear anything and the pain is well...substantial. But there is always an upside to things. I got to sleep in today without a girl child pouncing on me like a rabid mountain lion, there is a ton of snow outside so i don't feel bad about not going anywhere and i have netflix so unlimited chick flicks, Mountain bike videos and that 70's show at my fingertips. Perhaps my sweetie can finally convince me to play halo with him today. . . or not.

So needless to say the promo video has been postponed until march 4th. be sure to RSVP HERE because now that i have more time to prepare there is going to be some really rad goodies for all the volunteers.

OK so i have to go lie back down now, my cup of coffee can not compete with the power of prescription strength ibuprofen. I need rest and as usual i decided to postpone all of my writing until Sunday. Be sure to keep an eye out for my upcoming article about the girls in the Ogden indie scene in SLOUCHER magazine and my upcoming piece in 'don't leave your friends behind' zine.


Today there is a special event for a very special man, BRUCE CARLSON. If you knew him stop by the BEE for his memorial .Please bring your favorite stories of Bruce, bring your music, your poetry, your favorite tea. Bring your honest passion for life like he always exuded. This will be a celebration of his life!!! Potluck! Bring a dish to share along with your stories and art. Some of Bruce's poetry will be read. Bruce's family will be in attendance so let us speak to them of the joy Bruce brought to Ogden and each of us

bellydancers, comedians and choirs oh my! at 12:56 PM


Thursday needs to step up its game. Wednesdays take over the week with their jam packed schedule and the next day Thursday just throws up its hands and gives up. come on! well at least there is one amazing, exciting, blow your mind fun event happening to make up for it.

Thursday night around  6 head over to the Athenian for some beautiful belly dancing by the local Ogden troupe The Tiger Lily's.The Tiger Lily's have been dancing together for 2 years and got their start when one of the members took a belly dancing class and encouraged the others to dance with her. Soon they formed the troupe and had their first performance at belly break coffla at the borrowed earth emporium. The Athenian has become their regular venue where you can often find them dancing for delighted patrons.  Keep and ear out for their big performance this July at the Ogden amphitheater!

********

Friday!
Start the Evening off right  with  Drinking Liberally Ogden at The Wine Cellar,  Promoting democracy one pint at a time. Stick around for  the Christmas Ooh La La Ladies Night. Gordon Greenwood and Maegan Marett and friends jammin the night away. Special Christmas Gift bag Giveaways!

Next head over to borrowed earth emporium for  poetry, music and even belly dancing. Show off your talents and break free from the fear that has kept you from doing it until now at the open mic night at the BEE! Starts at 7 and goes until there are no words left to speak. http://www.borrowedearthemporium.com 

Voice Male is performing at  the Val A. Browning Center for the Performing Arts and if you love choirs you'll love this. Voice Male is made up of six very different individuals. John Luthy masterminded the Voice Male concept while singing with some of the guys in the Logan LDS Institute Choir. Over the years, they expanded their reach further and further, traveling to several states and to Mexico, performing over 120 songs for thousands of fans. When they are not working or singing, they are enjoying time with their supportive wives and children. The latest tally: 19 children who like to call each other Voice Male Cousins. Who knows what is in store for the future of Voice Male. It doesn't really matter, because the past has been pretty great.

For more holiday cheer check out the holiday house concert featuring Marvin Payne at a story book manor. Marvin Payne is an actor, writer, song maker, and recording artist living in Alpine, Utah. He has released a dozen albums of original songs and has helped craft a half dozen widely produced plays. he has acted professionally in about fifty films and fifty plays and over a hundred audio adventures for kids.

Need a good laugh? Head over for Scott Bennett 'The AMBASSADOR of LOVE" at Wiseguys Comedy Club . Scott started doing open mics in Las Vegas in 1996. When he moved back to Utah in 1997 because of a divorce he was lucky enough to hook up with a club called Laughs which is now Wiseguys where they gave him a lot of stage time. Before he knew it, he was working on the road as a feature and three years later as a headliner. Scott is a regular at the Improv in Hollywood, and plays the Loony Bins, Funny Bones, Wiseguys, etc. Scott's also done a few TV commercials and bit parts in movies. Scott was the Winner of the Rocky Mountain Laugh Off and has appeared on Blind Date and 'E's Talk Soup.

End the  work week with a band at kamikazes and see shaky trade perform. Shaky Trade  was formed in Ogden, UT in 2004 by childhood friends Billy Bommer (saxes, vocals), Greg Shaw (bass), and Simon Crompton (guitar). Picking up their respective instruments in high school, the three played in and around the Utah scene with several local groups. After witnessing a Weber State University Jazz Ensemble performance, the trio approached members Chris Clemons (brass, vocals) and Michael Wong (drums), and the newly formed quintet began rehearsals in the back room of a local tile shop. The five were able to find common ground and inspiration in groups as disparate as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Phish, and Jurassic 5, and a potent sound began to take shape. Consisting of fresh horn licks, a rock solid rhythm section, and tasty melodies, the group quickly established a fiercely loyal fanbase


Ogden is full of possibilities so learn it, live it and love it. As always be safe and have fun!
