New Society Garden Planted

Posted in garden, Other, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 2, 2015| Leave a Comment »

Blessed Be the Good Earth Mother and all her fertile soil. The new society garden has been planted and blessed this past week of May 24-31, 2015. Daniel Cureton, Ashton Longhurst, April Love, and Gwen Allen with the house dog Freyja worked hard over the last week to weed, turn the soil for roots, add manure, plant the crop and water the garden. “It was back breaking work. Most of it was the weeding with hoes and turning the soil with the cultivating forks, that took the whole week.” Said Ashton Longhurst. Gwen Allen commented “my African blood was pumping strong. We were out there working like slaves! Real strong, I was feelin akin to the brothas and sistas from home in the Deep South workin the plantations”

The planting on Sunday morning went quickly and easily after the hard work was done. It was done over night and in the early morning hours so that the society members wouldn’t be bothered by the bees. All included are: bell, Anaheim, Tabasco and jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, tomatillo, corn, oregano, cilantro, parsley, butternut squash, yellow squash, cucumbers, Georgia collard greens, cantaloupe, watermelon, a blue berry bush and a grape vine. President Daniel Cureton gave a druid blessings on the land “May the fire of life Nwyfre come up at this point and give life and fertility to everything present.”

Report-Local Lesbian Bar, Paper Moon, CLOSED

Posted in Other, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on May 30, 2015| Leave a Comment »

Sad news to report, one of the local gay bars of South Salt Lake, The Paper Moon, located on 3737 S State, closed its doors this past December 2014. SLPS was informed about its closure in April 2015, which appeared to be quiet and unnoticed in the community. Its website, thepapermoonclub.com says “This webpage is not available”, but there is still a Facebook page. Yelp, a popular customer venue rating site like Urban Spoon and Angie’s List, also reports of its closure. As the only lesbian bar in Salt Lake City and the only gay bar located out of the downtown area, this is a great loss to the culture and night life of the LGBT community.

It opened in 1994, as indicated on their sign when they closed, which read “Thanks SLC for 20 Dyketastic Years.” Lauren Holman remembers being there and commented “It was a good place, good music, drinks, and a sizable dance floor, pool area, and patio. They didn’t like drinks on the floor, cover was $7. Overall was a fun place, especially for all the lesbians.”

The Paper Moon will be missed, SLPS hopes that the remaining exclusive gay bars, Tryangles, The Sun Trapp, and JAM will be able to be a safe place for all our lesbian friends. Long Live The Paper Moon

14th Annual Springfest- Belly Dance by Thia 2015

Posted in Other, Tarot, Vending, tagged , , , , , , on March 7, 2015| Leave a Comment »

SLPS enjoyed reading tarot and a few palms at the 14th Annual Belly Dance Spring Fest this past Saturday, March 7, 2015 at the Utah State Fairground Promontory building. Each year Thia puts on the Fest and encourages dance, cultural, and festivities for the belly dance community in Salt Lake City. Readings went first for $10, then for $5 as traffic was slow. The pace picked up after lunch as more folks came out for the Saturday afternoon and evening shows.2015-03-07 11.51.50 2015-03-07 15.00.05

SLPS Grieves for Leonard Nimoy

Posted in Other, tagged , , , , on February 28, 2015| Leave a Comment »

SLPS joins millions and more around the world in grieving for the loss of the brilliant actor and man Leonard Nimoy, who passed as Friday, February 27, 2015 fat his Bel Air home in California from complications from COPD (chronic obstructed pulmonary disorder). He is best know for playing Spock on the orignial Star Trek series 1966-1969, but was much more than just a pointy ear half human alien. A photographer, author and director, we are glad he was our grandfather (he adopted people on Twitter who didn’t have their own). We very much appreciated all his life’s work before and after his death. As in the words of Spock:

“We have always been and always shall be your friend.”

Leonard Nimoy

1931-2015

Posted in Other, tagged , , , , , , , on January 30, 2015| Leave a Comment »

The beloved store, that closed its doors in September 2014, has changed its name to Silver Moons. Silver Moons maintains an online/festival presence, but has not decided to reopen a store front at this point. If it does, it will be under the new name of Silver Moons. Interestingly though, the shop has not changed its Facebook page to the new name, but has updated its website.

Spring Plazafest 2015

Posted in Other, Tarot, Vending, tagged , , , , on January 15, 2015| Leave a Comment »

SLPS had a great Plazafest at the University of Utah Student Union! President Daniel Cureton read tarot for free with his Deviant Moon Tarot deck for about 20 people on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 at the U’s Spring Plazafest, which is the U’s version of “club rush” for the first week of each semester. Most people who get their cards read are first timers, or had only had them done once or so in the past. The free tarot is a great way to connect with new people and to help others spiritually by showing them a snapshot of their lives at that moment.

2014 in review

Posted in Other, tagged , , , on December 30, 2014| Leave a Comment »

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 9,300 times in 2014. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Kwanzaa Celebration 2014

Posted in Other, tagged , , , , on December 28, 2014| Leave a Comment »

Hail and joyous Kwanzaa! Habari Gani! The members of SLPS gathered to celebrate the cultural holiday Kwanzaa. This is the third year of Kwanzaa being held by SLPS, a great way to ring in the new year! The altar was decorated in the traditional style, with African heritage and cultural items, including the mazao-fruits of the seaons, the kinaara,-the seven slotted candle holder, the muhinidi-the corn representing the children, the zawadi- gifts, and the kikombe cha umoja-the cup representing family and community. A special African dish made for the occasion was presented on the atlar, chicken and groundnut stew with fufu. Discussion about the seven values of Umoja — Unity, Kujichagulia — Self-determination, Ujima— Collective work and responsibility, Ujamaa — Cooperative economics, Nia — Purpose, Kuumba — Creativity, and Imani— Faith took place over the meal. These values help to bring the community together and to forget the self, considering others and the purpose of remembering our roots to make a better world.
