Last month Deidra and I joined our friends, Nate and Ashley, to see Jerry Seinfeld do stand-up at Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City. The day of the show I used my Facebook status to give a countdown — Mark is 4 hours away from seeing Jerry Seinfeld.
Within minutes, several friends called or emailed to ask what I meant. Was I going to go watch the Seinfeld TV show? Was I somehow getting to meet Seinfeld?
Each one of these friends was a raving Seinfeld fan … and yet they had no idea that the #1 comedian in the last 40 years was playing in their backyard. After all, why would such a famous act come to SLC? Isn’t Utah a hick town with no culture?
At Spingo, we think this is unacceptable. We know that Utah features some of the finest culture and entertainment — and at the best prices. We know that Utah loves to have fun but has never had a trusted source for event information.
On November 1, 2008 it all changes. Take the little black dress to the cleaners. Schedule the babysitter. Tell your remote control that it’s nothing personal. Spingo is here.
