SLURM poster, formatted as a folded note, containing the following information:

S.L.UR.M.
presents our Third Annual
PROVO SHUFFLE

Sat. March 21st, 2026 - American Plaza, 48 W 300 S
Hey you! Yes you. Have you ever wanted to ride the Amtrak? Or do you want to pretend ours goes more than like 2 places & doesn't come at an insane hour?
We hereby invite you to do the Provo Shuffle, where we'll ride an evening FrontRunner down to Provo and hit the Amtrak one stop back. Yes, they sell a ticket for that!
ITINERARY.
7:30 p.m. Meet at American Plaza
8:08 p.m. FrontRunner to Provo
9:10 p.m. Goof around, go to Center St.
10:02 p.m. Amtrak to Salt Lake
Feel free to meet us mid-FrontRunner if that suits you. The Zephyr will probably be late, so be ready for that -- if it's too late to pull this off, we'll have to cancel.
→Get your Amtrak tickets ASAP for best price ($10-15)!←

The poster also contains an edit of a famous frame from the 1944 political ad "Hell Bent For Election".

Monocolor (red) SLURM poster for February's event. It contains the following text:

SALT LAKE URBANIST MEETUPS PRESENTS

(ANTI) LOVE LETTER TO YOUR SENATOR

Saturday, February 7th, 2026 @ 12 p.m.
American Plaza, 48 W 300 S

[I]T'S the least wonderful time of the year! That's right, the 2026 legislative session is upon us, which means that a veritable avalanche of bills -- good, bad, and ugly -- are careening toward passage. On the chopping block this year: immigrants, trans people, SLC's autonomy, healthcare, voting rights, and the status of the State Supreme Court as a coequal branch of our government.

Join us this Saturday at noon for a coffee-shop-bound letter-writing jam, featuring former legislative intern Sofia Dunstan and her typewriter. Your voice matters, and we want to help give you tools to make it heard! Together, we can make a difference.

Everything will be readily walkable from the plaza, and buses, bikes, etc. are OK too! Basically all the challenges will be free -- bring a phone or camera. You'll get the list when we start!

SALT LAKE URBANIST MEETUPS PLAYS
Jet Lag: The Game's Hide & Seek

Saturday, November 15th, 2025 @ 9:30 am
American Plaza, 48 W 300 S

This is Hide and Seek played in the size of cities, states, or even continents: we'll be playing roughly inside Salt Lake proper for time. Seekers ask questions off a menu to the Hiders, slowly acquiring information and allowing the Hiders to draw curse cards, as they run around the map on UTA's buses and trains.
Meet at 9:30 a.m. at American Plaza to group into teamsnod 2-3 & learn how to play. We'll play 10-6 or end early once all teams have hidden.
Each team will need the ability to text and send photos in a group chat, share real-time location, and look things up online, so bring what you can on your phone. The game has breaks during the 45-min. hiding time; bring plenty of snacks & water plus money if you want to buy food.

SLURM Poster in the style of the previous 2 events. On the top 3rd are some hand painted road signs. The rest reads as follows:
SALT LAKE URBANIST MEETUPS PRESENTS:
A Seventeen-Mile Loop of Salt Lake With Only Two Stoplights
Saturday, October 18th @ 12p.m. American Plaza, 48 W 300 S
A STUDY into the finer details of traffic laws: SLURMers on this route will enjoy total right-of-way over vehicle traffic everywhere except at a few stop signs, and they will experience firsthand a broad range of Salt Lake City crosswalks, including a couple of new ones.
At the start of the ride, we will designate volunteer "corkers" to shepherd the group through crosswalks--this is an all-abilities, casual ride.
Meet 12p.m. at American Plaza with your bike, or grab a Greenbike day pass. We will roll out around 12:15.
