Join Clark Planetarium and the Salt Lake Astronomical Society (SLAS) in a salute to amateur astronomy.
August is a great time for observing. Many beautiful “Deep Sky” astronomical objects can easily be seen and the Perseid meteor shower reaches peak visibility on August 12.
Clark Planetarium is hosting a series of free lectures to show you how to use a telescope to see what objects are visible late summer night sky. As a bonus, attendees will receive a coupon for 10% off telescopes, binoculars and accessories in the Planet Fun Clark Planetarium Store!
SLAS will also be at the events with details on upcoming public star parties where attendees can get acquainted with telescopes and meet others interested in amateur astronomy.
Mike Massé and Jeff Hall are Utah attorneys familiar with the wheels of justice. They’re also musicians interested in doing justice to songs by Pink Floyd, U2 and Tom Petty.
The two longtime friends represent opposing sides in the criminal justice system — Massé is a Salt Lake County public defender, and Hall is a Salt Lake County deputy district attorney — yet they team up monthly to weave tight harmonies at the The Pie Pizzeria.
Set aside the members’ educational backgrounds, and the duo is much more than just another cover band. Using skills as a recording engineer that he learned in college, Massé has posted nearly 80 videos on YouTube that are brilliantly recorded and superior in sound and video quality.
The videos recently amassed more than 2 million hits, earning the Utah duo national and international fans.
Massé is a musical nut who began playing acoustic guitar at The Pie in 1993 as an outlet for creativity. Hall joined him on bass several years later.
They didn’t expect much from the gig, except a chance to relive their days as a cover band. Their only pay is tips and pizza slices.
But Massé, using his skills as a recording engineer, began recording their performances and posting them on YouTube. The videos caught on, attracting dozens of hits, then hundreds, thousands, and now millions.
Massé has been encouraged by fans all over the world to finance and produce his first album of original songs.
In the meantime, every first Monday of the month, he and Hall will be strumming their guitars and harmonizing at The Pie, playing to whoever will listen. And even if there is no one in the audience that night, the duo knows a global audience awaits.

Zumba combines high energy and motivating music with unique moves and combinations that allow the Zumba participants to dance away their worries. It is based on the principle that a workout should be “FUN AND EASY TO DO” in order for Zumba participants to stick to the Zumba fitness program to achieve long-term health benefits. Zumba is not only great for the body, but is also great for the mind. It is a “feel-happy” workout.
ZUMBA is a Latin-inspired, dance-fitness class that incorporates Latin and International music and dance movements, which create a dynamic, exciting, and effective fitness system! This class combines fast and slow rhythms that tone and sculpt the body in an aerobic/fitness fashion to achieve a unique blended balance of cardio and muscle-toning benefits.
Dancers and non-dancers alike immediately and easily master a Zumba class because you do not have to know how to dance to succeed at Zumba. Zumba creates a party-like atmosphere that provides a non-intimidating opportunity for non-dancers, new exercisers, or those who have previously hesiated to participate in group classes. At the same time, dancers and long-time exercisers thoroughly enjoy the change of pace-exercising in a healthy, fun, party-like environment. Now, you can try ZUMBA at DF Dance Studio! We have certified Zumba instructors and a great class that you will enjoy! More questions? Please call us at: (801) 466-0490 or (801) 557-3648. We are always happy to help!
