Maybe you can find some consolation.
(my apologies to the internet in general, for dropping his name everywhere, but I do love the guy.)
I think I have heard of him, I remember some writer getting kicked you of the "Y" (as in, WHY would you want to go there?). I actually like it here in SLC (originally from CT, so I guess I have an easier time being here not being from here), but that is probably because I got some good mates. Also, being a graduate student doesn't leave much time for dealing with the momos (i.e., the dominant culture). Plus, being downtown, one really does not deal with the much anyway.
