Slick City Round Up

This is one of our newest columns that I’ve been promising for months, but now that it’s finally above 20 F for the first time in about 3 weeks, mostly because it’s going to snow and rain for the next 5 days, and I’m slightly less busy at work I’m writing again.  Also, Uj and Ron finally have internet and new iPads so maybe they will start writing some things too.  We also are going to start pulling some stuff from James’s blog, since he actually writes.

So on to Slick City Round Up where we pull from local sports blogs and give them a little pub on this site, as if people actually read this pile of crap.

First is Salt City Hoops one of the 3 or 4 independent Jazz blogs out there.  This article is specifically a re-cap of last night’s Jazz win over the Knicks 131-125.  But what made it so great was the line “It was nice of the Knicks to agree to play church ball with the Jazz”  A very Utah reference to shooting lots of 3s as a reference to the popular Mormon church sponsored basketball leagues that cover the state.  And really that’s what local sports commentary is all about, extremely obscure parochial references.

The other blog that I wanted to highlight is my buddy James’s blog Harpringer of Doom another ostensibly Jazz blog.  Everyone should check his stuff out either over there or at this site since we are going to start dual posting all his articles over here.  Great stuff and he actually writes, so isn’t that wonderful.

We are recording a new podcast tonight so get ready for that to be up tomorrow.  Good night and don’t eat the mussels.

Thanks to all the littles

I think this is some kind of shrimp fountain, but really that doesn’t matter.  I would like to thank all of writers, which right now is just me and Uj, but hopefully will be expanding in the next couple days, and of course our readers for helping us get 80 hits today.  This is the first time that we’ve broken 50 hits on one day and we shot all the way up to 80 which is awesome.

Hopefully a year from now we can look back and proverbially bitch slap the weakness that is 80 with like 1000 hits a day, but this is great for now, on to 100!  I would also like to thank our strangely diverse readership of late, the 5 Canadians and 3 Lithuanians that stopped by today, thanks a lot for getting things all international up in here, take a shrimp home for the kids.
