I agree. If the current Utah collective has become defunct & this group passes New-IMC, they should have the option of taking over the current website.  Salt Lake City is just one area within Utah; however, much of the UtahIMC media I've read or listened to was done in SLC.

The little I know about the area, as the state capitol and home to a university, it is a more culturally and politically diverse area than the rest of the state (that is relative to one of the most hegemonous and conservative states in the US).

The old Utah collective produced some really good material. It's sad to see them go defunct. But it is exciting to see a new group that could possibly replace them.
