Newspapers and media companies nationwide are closing or suffering mass layoffs since the coronavirus impacted all of us starting in March. City Weekly's entire existence is directly tied to people getting together in groups--in clubs, restaurants, and at concerts and events--which are the industries most affected by new coronavirus regulations.
Our industry is not healthy. Yet, City Weekly has continued publishing thanks to the generosity of readers like you. Utah needs independent journalism more than ever, and we're asking for your continued support of our editorial voice. We are fighting for you and all the people and businesses hardest hit by this pandemic.
You can help by making a one-time or recurring donation on PressBackers.com, which directs you to our Galena Fund 501(c)(3) non-profit, a resource dedicated to help fund local journalism. It is never too late. It is never too little. Thank you.

First
and foremost, a quick look at the current look of the 337 Memorial Wall.
--- This
weekend I made my way over to Captain Captain Studios for their Open
House. Good eats and awesome showings. Some fun examples... a toy ninja with a plan from Jennica Sheets.
Patrick
Munger showing off his new space with massive wall art.
Trent
Call with a small glimpse of what we'll see at the Utah Arts Festival
this year.
And
Sri Whipple (who I'll chat with later this month) showcasing his
works all around.
A
lot of very cool works, which if you've got MySpace you can check out
the giant album of photos here. Many thanks to the CCS artists for
letting me run around and snap pictures.
This
weekend also marks the Salt City Derby Girls double header at the
Salt Palace tonight (doors kick open at 5PM). Then the two-day
extravaganza known as Utah Pride 2009. Fun times to be had tonight,
and remember to catch the parade tomorrow and the massive slew of
local bands in the afternoon and evening! ...And while I can't
formally condone it, if you see someone parading around with a sign
filled with hate speech, it's not a crime to step on their toes by
accident. At least not in Salt Lake County.
Coming
up this week I'll have interviews with some of the bands at Pride,
Lenitech, Dark Arts Fest, plus more on the way with ThatGuyGil, Tower
Theater's Open Mic and looking over Summer Of Death. As always, we'll
see what happens.
