Lee Rocker (for those of you old enough, he was the bass player for the Stray Cats) is coming to town. He’s playing at Vixen in Sparks (http://vixensparks.com/home.html) this coming Friday, May 30. He puts on a good show and more importantly, his band is awesome, anchored by one of the finest precision drummers you will ever see (full disclosure: the drummer is my brother).

Hey all,
The long awaited Build-A-Bike maintenance course is finally here.
Build-a-Bike starts June 4, and is going to be taught by Ed Jenson, a
veteran of the Washoe County School District and professional bike mechanic.
This program is going to be a comprehensive look at biycles and how to
repair them. From flat tires to rebuilding wheels, Ed and the RBP volunteers
are going to teach you how to do a complete overhaul.
There are six three-hour courses, starting Wednesday, June 4th. And
continuing for the five following Wednesdays.
Participants can either bring their own bicycle or purchase a bike from RBP.
Cost of the class is $50 and includes most everything except a bicycle.
Space is limited to 8 spots so sign up fast.
