Issue: June 25, 2009
Hey everybody,Although this is the introduction to our weekly newsletter, I hope you’ll also have the opportunity to pick up our regular newspaper. It’s our biggest issue ever, and one of our most in-depth looks at the arts scene in Reno. On the cover, we return to last weekend’s NadaDada Motel with a Lauren Randolph photo essay. Look a little deeper, and you’ll find our annual guide to Artown, with a special focus on the Reno News & Review’s Rollin’ on the River free concert series. We also have Sierra Arts Magazine. Anyway, it’s a fun, information-packed issue. Click on the links below, but don’t forget to pick up a hard copy. As always, thanks for reading the paper!Brian
