Best of Utah

As I mentioned in a sideways manner a few days ago, last Friday I attended Salt Lake City Weekly's Best of Utah party last week at the Velvet Room in wonderful downtown SLC, where I witnessed another great Rotten Musicians show, was rude to the new boyfriend of my former girlfriend's sister, and almost made a fool of myself with the afore-mentioned new female friend on the scene whom I have now ceased calling simply because of incompatibilities detected via telephonic device.

I think for the first time ever City Weekly gave out a blogging "best of" award, to a blog I've been reading off and on now for a while: slcspin.

The editors of City Weekly, however, were completely remiss in honoring any of my friend's or acquaintance's blogs, so I thought I would bring you the first-annual (and most like only) THEORRIS'S FANTASTICO, EXTRA-SPECIALURIFIC, BEST OF UTAH BLOGANITES:

  2. The new look was somewhat startling. I'm still adjusting.

  3. I would like to thank the Academy of Signifying Nothing for this honor, and also my family, and also my dog. Also, I would like to thank my own shoes, without which I would be nothing.
