Issue: December 16, 2010
Hi everybody,
Brrrr! Actually, it's not that cold yet. But don't worry, it's gonna get cold. And when it does, you can look at this week's handy RN&R Winter Guide to find out about all the local ski resorts, new high tech winter sports gear, and how to ride your bike in the snow. For those who want to stay indoors, or take your tunes up the hill, we recommend 2010's best music. We've also got drunk Santas, crucified Santas, and, because we're sick of Santas, yuletide hip-hoppers.
Thanks for reading the paper! If it weren't for you, we'd have to work as mall Santas.
Brad & Kat.
