Falling behind on my blog posts… sorry!

What with my Facebook account and my Twitter account, my work blog …. ahhh it’s all just a little new media time suck. Anyway, Tom and I got the chance to enjoy a box with friends at the new Reno Aces baseball park in downtown Reno. I have to say, they did a great job on the park and our box came catered, great food, great service… all around a nice time. Weather was a little chilly, some sprinkles… and Reno lost. :(

An evening out for Toxic Audio


h1 January 31st, 2009

Media night for Eldorado Hotel and Casino was a nice excuse to get out of the house. Tom and I had a nice dinner a La Strada and then took in the current running show, Toxic Audio. Eldorado knows how to treat their guest… all was very enjoyable. Even though i was VERY skeptical of the show, it turned out to be fun… to be seen with friends, and a couple drinks :)

Big Trip To Ely for Fire And Ice


h1 January 23rd, 2009

Tom and I headed back to Ely for a long weekend over MLK weekend. Tom made it part work/part play and did a few stories on current events in Ely/White Pine County: Mining, Steam Engine 93 at Nevada Northern Railroad, proposed Coal-Fired Power Plants, and the big tourism Fire & Ice event at Cave Lake State Park. Whew… Add to that visits to friends… and we had a full three days!
