 Saturday: farmers market, river fun and karaoke! at 9:25 PM
Its Saturday! Ahh sweet bliss! Time to eat cotton candy in the grass and splash around in the river. I cant wait for farmers markets and bike rides and photo fun with my lovely friend jenny. We will be dressing up in pretty frocks and being completely girly...that is until we get muddy from playing on the parkway. Savor these moments folks because winter is just around the corner. Most of you might be excited for snow and cold and wet and did i mention cold? But me? I am snow inept, a snow newb if you will. I get cold easily and the idea of being wet AND cold sounds like some form of ancient torture to me. Perhaps i need an experienced snow dweller to show me how its done, until then i will continue pouting about summer ending. There is so much to do and don't forget about the amazing indie films playing right here in downtown Ogden!

Local Spotlight: Cloud 9 smoke shop at 12:03 AM If you need hookah and smoking supplies there is a great place to go in Ogden, Utah and that's Cloud 9. I went there yesterday to check out hookah and find some fruity sheesha for my hookah at home. The workers there are incredibly friendly and made me feel like i was visiting an old friend. Cloud 9 has a huge selection of sheesha, incense and smoke supplies. The store smells like a fruit basket from all the flavors! I tried out some blueberry because it smelled like a smoothie and it came in fancy little tin. I have to say I'm eyeing up the pink Ed Hardy hookah and may have to turn my dressing room into a ladies lounge. I admit i don't use a hookah very often, i don't even smoke cigarettes. Every once in a while its just fun to put on belly dance music, eat too much hummus and try out the old hookah. Check out these photos i took of their pretty hookah supplies and check out their WEBSITE.* Here is brief but interesting history of the hookah. Nargile : A Puff on History (reprinted from the Turkish Daily News 3/3/97) But it was in Turkey that the nargile completed its revolution, and did not change its style for the last few hundred years. The nargile became a very important part of the coffee shop culture, finding its popularity in Turkey around the time of Murat the IV'th, 1623-40.The joy that the smokers received from this very simple yet beautiful smoking apparatus was unbelievable. Rules were created even for lighting the pipe, and if a professional smoker saw anyone lighting it the incorrect way, the culprit would be told in no uncertain term " Do yourself and the sacred nargile a favor and put out the coals by blowing into it. "The nargile itself consists of 4 pieces which are as follows: Agizlik (mouthpiece), Lüle (the top of the nargile), Marpuç (the tube) and the Gövde (the body of the pipe which is filled with water). All pieces of the pipe were produced by special craftsmen, who were named after the pece they produced. Even today, the areas where these craftsmen used to concentrate are called by these names, such as "Marpuççular."Lüles were generally produced in Tophane by Lule makers and the govde's (bottles) were manufactured in Beykoz. These govde's were a unique example of Turkish handcraft and were decorated with floral motifs. Some were made out of silver or crystal. The agizlik's (mouthpieces) were generally carved out of the top of quality amber, because people in those days believed that amber was not the because people in those days believed that amber was not the carrier of germs. Not all tobaccos qualified for usage in the nargile, and only the dark tobacco imported from Iran found favor with the nargile user. This toabcco was washed several times before use as it was extremely strong. Only oak charcoal was used to be placed on the top of the tobacco. Some professional nargile smokers used certain fruit, like sour cherries or grapes in their govde just to enjoy the motion it created in the water. Other people enjoyed adding pomegranate juice or rose oil to their water for added flavor. The nargile smoker hated anyone lighting their cigarettes on their nargile fire because they felt it disturbed the rhythm of the burning charcoal. The nargile was so popular and fashionable with the elite ladies of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, that it became the in thing to be photographed with a nargile. If you wanted to be the hostess with the mostest the nargile was a must for popular afternoon tea and intellectual gatherings. Unfortunately like most wonderful things from the past, the nargile suffered a decline with the availability of the cigarettes. But still today, one is able to find a special type of smoker that would only find their enjoyment from smoking the nargile. *** As with all tobacco products you should use it in moderation, be informed of risks and ALWAYS be of legal age.

BTW, I'm trying to put together a Blogger Get-Together in Ogden, but since I'm in Logan, I don't have the slightest idea of where to do it at. I've had suggestions to do it someplace on 25th, but I don't know! Haha... Could you give me some suggestions?? I'm thinking around the second weekend in April. Thanks!! Trissta oooh so much fun! roosters has a great room upstairs if you want to eat too. borrowed earthy emporium would be absolutely perfect and if you want to do drinks too i'd suggest kamikazes, they have couches upstairs
