 Friday, Friday, Gotta Get Down on Friday at 10:37 PM When I moved to Ogden, it was with the confident assumption that I’d be moving back to San Francisco within the next year or so. When I moved to Ogden, I was almost afraid to talk about my plans, because everyone I told said, “Utah? Why?” or “Utah? MORMONS!” And I would look sheepish and shrug, or swear it wouldn’t be forever, or blame it on my boyfriend, who grew up in Ogden. When I moved to Ogden, I blamed it on my boyfriend. It was all his idea, me moving to the middle of nowhere. It was only temporary! I was way, way too cool for Utah. I was SO MUCH PRETTIER than Ogden.
Almost five years later, I’m still here, and I like it. I would even venture to say I love it. I love this town, and I love the people. That same boyfriend and I, we own a house and a couple of dogs. Every once in awhile, when the news is really bad, we talk about heading north to Canada, or when it’s really bad or we’ve had a crappy day, south to Mexico. Beachcombers never have to watch CNN or worry about the economy, right?
But they also don’t get to go to karaoke night or watch art films or hit the gallery or buy art to support a worthy cause or rock out to independent artists or eat a lot of hot dogs and watch baseball while the mountains that fill up the horizon all around you turn sunset colors. The way you can tonight! Ogdenites, give thanks you live in Ogden, and check out all the excellent stuff going on tonight in the O.G. Den. We we we we we so excited!

cinco de mayo in ogden utah at 10:08 AM today is the day we celebrate.....wait, what is it we celebrate today? The date is observed in the United States as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride, and to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy during the first years of the American civil war. In the state of Puebla, the date is observed to commemorate the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. For the most part people of non Mexican decent use Cinco De Mayo as an exuce to celebrate for no reason, and there is nothing wrong with that! so what is there to do on Cinco De Mayo in Ogden , Utah? plenty!

Royal bliss at kamikazes- t has been nearly 13 years of bliss, Royal Bliss that is. Royal Bliss is modern rock with equal parts beauty and tragedy. The band has already been through enough to justify their own VH1Behind the Music episode complete with addiction, near death experiences, car crashes, and law suits. Hailing from Salt Lake City, Royal Bliss started in a basement as a few kids who had a passion for music and a drive to succeed. Striving to further their own abilities while building their fan base at the same time was always the ultimate goal. The music has been a message to those who listened, evolving every step of the way. From the early days when the lyrics echoed that of a late night frat party, to the deep, meaningful, and sometimes cries for help, the process of evolution is undeniable. Sunday Art exhibit at Eccles community arts- The Eccles Community Art Center, 2580 Jefferson Avenue, Ogden will exhibit the art of the members of the Palette Club of Ogden in Main Gallery during January 2011 Romani style bellydance workshop at the BEE- Kitty Screwfoot will be teaching romani "Gypsy" Folk style dance and music selections, a great importunity for local dancers.

BFF's at 12:43 PM Best friends are the best-est and mine trumps them all. I'm so excited that my BFF robin is here visiting from Cali and I've bee showing her around town and having a blast. One interesting and hilarious thing i discovered about Ogden buses are their barf bags. nice!Day one was shopping until we literally dropped on historic 25Th , cooking an amazing meal with pasta we bought at Rovalis and ending with a tour of bars going to city club, Brewskis and Top shelf. Only one complaint the whole night- as a Californian she was NOT impressed with the alcohol content of the drinks and neither was I, seriously Utah....seriously. But, other than that it was a blast and so far day 2 is turning out to be a great one too. We nursed our aching bodies and lounged around in jammies to start. today our itinerary includes southern food until we bust, roller skating and heavy metal karaoke.  Oh and did anyone go sleddng on monday? I ran to the nearest hill and bombed down it until my face was numb. My advice don't get a running start unless your holding on properly and i am pretty sure my daughter is going to grow up to be a pro snow boarder. It was mad fun and i can not wait until there is more snow!  Since i am a bit distracted I'm just going to list events for the next couple days. I promise ill be back to normal once my bestie is home. TODAY if your wanting something to do check out Brewskis heavy metal karaoke, Teazers Texas hold-em, arts n crafts camp at Eccles community arts center or ice skating! TOMORROW-open mic night at brewskis, Ogden's indie film society meet up,slam jam at Mojos and my BFFs bon voyage party, underground music series featuring shaky trade at city club and a country dance at the union station.

It never gets old, and i just love seeing her enthusiastically rip open presents and hearing her ooh and aah over every little thing.

After a bit of pampering its time to get rowdy. Head over to Teazers for Free Texas Hold-em and a few drinks. enter a tournament and maybe you will win a prize! Bambling not your thing but feeling a bit brave from a few drinks? It's time to head over to Brewskis for HEAVY METAL KARAOKE! Every Tuesday at Brewskis unleash your inner metal head and rock out to heavy metal karaoke! remember such classics as 'you give love bad name' Bon Jovi and 'run to the hills' by Iron Maiden? Everyone fantasizes about being a rock star but not all of us are graced with giant hair and legs tiny enough to accommodate leather pants so take this opportunity to live the dream and be a rock star for about 3 minutes. Alright i know y'all have to work tomorrow so try not to be too much of a rock star but if you get deep into character and find yourself a little to sloshed to drive remember 2-5 drive! Have fun and be safe! No Ride? Wanna come downtown?

a day of rest? rest is for suckers! at 10:30 AMSundays in Utah can be a drag. nothing is open, there doesn't seem like there is anything to do and your bored to tears. don't fret! Ive got some ideas for you. With Christmas just around the corner there is undoubtedly a few gifts you still need to pick up. Even if you're a super organized early shopper, and you got that shiny 'always prepared for x-mas' merit badge, i bet there is still someone you could get a gift for...yourself perhaps? So, head over to the borrowed earth emporium and check out the winter market. local artisans in attendance every weekend to sell their wares during winter. Buy local! Family activities, yoga, coffee and food too. http://www.borrowedearthemporium.com/calendar/ hungry after a morning of shopping? luckily there are quite a few amazing local eateries near by. whether your craving an amazing burger or salad with a fresh micro brew at roosters, a filling Italian lunch at Rovalis or you just need to have some sweets at vintage cupcakes there is definitely something for you on historic 25Th. While you are strolling around check out the local shops for some great holiday deals, head over to the Christmas village or try out the new trolley. Historic 25Th is my favorite place in Ogden and it's a one stop shop for support your town. after all that shopping you could be pretty tired but if your not then get dressed up and head out to one of the great bars in Ogden. my personal fave is kamikazes but if your looking for action teazers has NFL Sundays. Teazers is the #1 spot for Football. They have the Sunday Ticket and play every single game. Stop in for great Sunday Brunch, Wing Specials and Beer Specials and football Bingo with great Prizes. Football not your thing? Go ahead, try it out, you just might like it. At the very least you can get a kick out of watching grown men throw tantrums over sports. So there! now you have no excuse to say your bored on a Sunday. Don't be afraid to go try something new you just might surprise yourself.
