It's Confernce (Utah pronunciation) time in Salt Lake. Time for the LDS church to gather and listen to the Prophets. You notice an increase in sightings of vehicle tags from Wyoming and Idaho. There is a preponderance of radio ads for Deseret Book Store and Anniversary Inn and other kitchey Mormon things. We are a peculiar people. But, sometimes for the wrong reasons. We get 10 hours of instruction on Saturday and Sunday, which is probably a little more time than I would spend on a Sunday in my calling. But, we get to watch it on TV in the comfort of our homes seated on the couch or our favorite chair (and sometimes our favorite bed) dressed in our favorite spiritual pajamas and eating wholesome LDS chocolates and farmer breakfast.
Restaurants in Salt Lake are almost always crowded. Saturday night of Conference weekend is always a joke. The Priesthood Session ends at 8pm and everyone heads to their favorite eatery. In an effort to avoid the crowds, a couple of years ago we started looking for places with the word "pub" or "brewery" in the name. We've stopped short of going to Hooters.
