Well, among other things, the first two actually advertise themselves as circuses, whereas Fashion Week pretends itself an elitist social event. First of all, let's analyze what makes a circus a circus. 1: A circus needs a ringleader - someone to organize as well as introduce the acts of the circus. 2: A circus needs performers, dressed in costume and typically wearing great deals of makeup. 3: A circus needs to be choreographed to music. 4: A circus must have a center stage, around which the audience sits. So why doesn't Fashion Week advertise itself as what it is? I can see it now: They could hold a parade to kick off the event. Models riding in on mistreated elephants - they could even bring in some of their exploited third world laborers to hold the reins. Certainly then we could take Fashion Week a little more seriously. Not to say that certain people in the fashion industry haven't already adopted this practice. Thorn Browne - New York's "style czar" - did just that with his personal exhibition for Fashion Week. Well, not just that - there were nov mistreated elephants or exploited laborers. However, he did mock the fashion world by creating his show in the form of a three-ring circus, complete with a top hat wearing ringleader and models in threelegged pants and on stilts. Yet Browne certainly wasn't the first designer to slap fashion in the face. Fashion Week of September '07 saw another designer's rebellion to the runway norms. Jack Spade set up its RJnway in the middle of bustling Bryant Park, in the shadow of a large tent constructed for a red-carpeted runway show. They had filed for a permit to hold their show in the park, and displayed it taped to a tree. They then proceeded to set up a rolling wardrobe, a boom box on a trash receptacle, and a director with a clipboard and headset. They then recruited park patrons at random to participate, until they had exhibited all of their spring collection. After this, Andy Spade, co-creator of Jack Spade, appeared and took a bow toward all the very confused park patrons. I have to admit, however, that I am torn. While I would love to see more poking of fun at mainstream elitist ideas, there's something frightening about the idea of those elitists starting to make fun of themselves. Wouldn't that cause a rift in the space-time continuum? Come; on, Dr. Hawking, back me up on this one. Erykah Badu: New Amerykah, Pt.

Jonny Poole Life writer In this day and age, most people hay^e played a video game or t\yo. Whether you've rocked out to a session of Guitar Hero or literally swung a virtual tennis racket via Wii Sports, it's safe to say that video games are a part of our lives, and they're here to stay. However, most Utah natives would be surprised to learn that several video game developers are starting to call Utah home. The arrival of development studio Eat, Sleep, Play in mid-2008 marks the fifth big name collaboration to settle on a Salt Lake City ZIP code. Although far from technology hot spots like Seattle and the San Francisco Bay area, working in Utah has its own unique advantages. quality of life here is certainly a benefit," Clark Stacey said. As a business developer for Smart Bomb, one of the other high profile development companies in the Salt Lake area, Stacey is responsible for acquiring projects and hammering out the details. He is quick to point out that not only do the individual programmers benefit from having a studio in Utah, but the community does as well. "Game development brings high-paying jobs and a certain amount of high-tech cache to the state," says Stacey. Evan Christensen, a programmer at Incognito Studios in downtown Salt Lake City, used in pointed out that much of the technology today's games was, and is, invented locally. "One of the biggest rea- sons that Salt Lake has an active development community is that a lot of the core ideas and technology used in computer graph-' ics were invented at'.the U of U and at Evans and Sutherland, a government simulation contractor near the U." "Having a pioneering computer science department at the University of Utah means we see a constantly replenishing pool of programming talent here," Stacey said. Although there are many reasons that the video game industry is growing in Utah, there are certain obstacles that companies face when making hiring decisions. "There are some prevailing perceptions about the culture and unfortunate realities about the public education system here that can beijdeterrents to attracting talent •it from 6thc^t3teSfE- JS&pey said. ' '• •>'$My-'£'$*i':''\ "It's difficult "to get young developers to move to Utah because it is perceived as being a small, conservative city with no night life," Christensen said. "Try explaining the liquor laws to a potential employee." One such potential employee, SLC Community College student Corwin LeSueur, is just excited to have the opportunity to do what he loves and still be close to home. As a technology student, LeSueur is interested in pursuing a career in gaming from both writing and development standpoints. "Games need storifes just like movies do," LeSueur said.
