 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.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY- Downtown Ogden inc. needs your support here is their plea to you: Dear friends of Downtown Ogden, WE NEED YOUR VOICE!!! Next Tuesday, March 15Th at 6:00 p.m., in the Ogden City Building, The Ogden City Council is reviewing the contract with Downtown Ogden Inc. As you know, Downtown Ogden Inc. provides services to and is partners with the Downtown Ogden merchants in providing a myriad of events that create gathering opportunities in Ogden’s Downtown. Examples of this include Festivals and Events, Amphitheater and Street Concerts, Ogden’s First Friday Art Stroll, Ogden’s Historic Farmer’s and Art Market, Monday Night Movies, the Downtown Trolleys and Jupiter Train Rides, Historic 25Th Street Car Show, Wild West Shootout, Trail to Pioneer Days Painted Horses Exhibit, Flower Basket, Beautification and Graffiti Patrol, and many, many more. We feel that we can safely estimate a draw to these events of over 200,000 attendees annually. The renaissance of Downtown Ogden that has gained local, state and national attention is due in part to the programs provided by Downtown Ogden, Inc. As a community, we cannot afford to have this positive momentum halted and return to the Ogden of ten years ago that has been characterized as “Dark, Dirty and Dangerous.”We ask for your participation this night to help us communicate the value of Downtown Ogden Inc – especially the value they provide to our Downtown Business District. Please plan on attending, your voice is critical for all our success! Please forward to your friends that love Ogden. Sincerely, Dan Musgrave John Nicholas Ginny Stout View the entire city council packet. HERE

Students will also be participating in clinical work to evaluate procedures that can be implemented in order to improve air quality in Ghana, as many workers work in toxic environments, such as tar pits, where their health is greatly compromised.

Wednesday-Thrills and chills at 10:55 AM Yesterday was amazing. The sky was blue, the sun was shining and i barely even needed a jacket. I haven't been on my bike in a few days and was itching to ride So the babe and i bikes into downtown to meet Bryan for a family date. Our go to place in downtown is always Roosters, we never seem like a burden being there and the food is always great. Today i plan on going to the tree house museum, the best place to exhaust your kids ever. The trick is to play with them but not too much. For instance point out something cool and say' race you there' but pretend run while they bolt. By the end of your trip they are ready for a 3 day nap and you still have enough energy to catch up on your cheesy 80's sitcoms. Indie Ogden Utah has a new Addition- JulieAnn Carter-Winward. For the next 5 weeks you Will get the pleasure of reading her short story based in Ogden that she wrote especially for Indie Ogden Utah . This series starts today so get excited and go read! There are a lot of really cool things happening this Glorious overcast Wednesday so dive in folks. Also Don't forget about the Indie Ogden Utah promo video this Friday, RSVP HERE. And be sure to check out my latest article in Sloucher zine HERE.

Local spotlight- Mermaid baby at 9:23 PM I am so amazed by the talent of the teenagers here in Utah. Is is the desert air, the salt and honey or something alien that makes them so ambitious? I do not know but i am certain that many of them are going far. One band i have been keeping tabs on recently is Mermaid baby. Mermaid baby Are regulars at the local indie venues here in Ogden. Playing danceable surf pop their songs conjures up memories of summer adventures and first loves and are winning over the hearts and feet of Utah. They are currently working on their debut c-d so keep an ear out for more about mermaid baby. You can get updates on their upcoming show on their FACEBOOK and sample some of their music on their MYSPACE. I recently sent these boys a few questions so you could get to know them just a little bit better. I wanted to meet them in person but having just contracted a mild version of the plague i thought it best not to infect them and squelch their chances of releasing a c-d.
