Friday, Feb. 13: Things to do in Carson City
If you have a hard time deciding what to do tonight, may I suggest you blame me? After all, the first Friday the 13th of the year is known as National Blame Someone Else Day.
Music, music, music: Acoustic Solution at Bella Fiore, Straight Jacket at the Spoke, Hindsight playing at the Casino Fandango, Jaime Rollins at Living the Good Life and more. Raising funds for Advocates to End Domestic Violence, the Vagina Monologues open tonight at the Brewery Arts Center Performance Hall. Carson High is looking for some support from its alums as the Varsity basketball teams battle the Douglas Tigers.
If you need some ink, Ruby Lantern and Red Handed Tattoo are offering a $25 special on designated designs only, first come first served starting at noon.
