Issue: May 13, 2010
Hi everybody,
It used to be that if you heard the words “tea party” you’d probably think of a table of Brits sipping Earl Grey. Or you’d think of the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Dormouse celebrating their unbirthdays. But nowadays, the Tea Party is a mob of angry Americans. Why are they so angry? I guess you’re gonna have to read our cover story to find out. Also in this week’s issue, we preview an upcoming party that’s sure to get the blood flowing. In Musicbeat, prodigal troubadour Chris Talbot returns to Reno for a family friendly party. And, in News, the party might be over for the Millennium Scholarship recipients.
Thanks for reading!
If it weren’t for you, we’d be party poopers.
Brad Bynum,
RN&R Arts Editor
