Issue: October 01, 2009
Welcome to this week’s Reno News & Review. It’s a delightful issue of drunkenness, disorderliness and the repercussions thereof, a first-hand account by our usually upstanding editor, D. Brian Burghart. Judge him as you will, but would you write a story like this? Moving on — you’ll get the rundown from insiders at a place that just might drive one to drink. Imbibe in the lushes, we mean luscious, tale of love and betrayal that makes up Carmen. There’s more than three sheets-worth of good pages in the new zine we feature in Art of the State. And zombies are staggering around the film page like a bunch of drunken frat boys at a beer pong tournament. So cheers, salud and cin cin! If it weren’t for you, we’d be at the bar.
