Top 10 Things we learned at the special session
Jessica Fryman and Jay Balagna of the Capitol Bureau (we’ve been wishing we could put that under our bylines all week) here. After spending six 15-plus hour days at the legislative building in downtown Carson City, we are finally driving back to Reno (Jay’s driving, I’m typing). We made the fast food joints up the [...]
Real men play football in the snow.
It’s not your ordinary Sunday at the University of Nevada, Reno when you wake up with more than a foot of snow outside.

During the week before the shoot, I, with help from [...]
New staffer jumps on board
Well, it’s my first official week at the Sagebrush and I’m pretty impressed with how tight an operation they run here. Did you know that the gutter between columns of text is 10 points – which is just shy of a pica? I didn’t. I also think I would have a heart attack worrying about [...]
Camping out for Nevada-UNLV tickets
I didn’t spend my Sunday night doing homework or recovering from a weekend of partying.

Vintage Tweets
On Sunday night, I camped out for Nevada-UNLV tickets and Tweeted my adventures (Except for my four hours of sleep. Emily Stott took over for those). This post contains some of the highlights of our Twitter poetry.
