Wednesday, Sept. 27: Things to do in Carson City

Street Vibrations is a celebration of all things motorcycle, but today the only cycle that truly matters is the three-wheeled one that belongs to Glen Lucky. A lot of towns have local celebrities; most everyone has seen Glen Lucky on the side of the road, pushing his bike to take him further. Today, the Nevada State Museum invites everyone to help Lucky celebrate his 65th birthday, complete with cake and a huge group photo. The Carson City Creepy Short Horror Film Competition is just days away and the Wired Wednesday group is offering a series of mini film-making workshops this evening to help you along the process.
