I’m totally bragging here but I wanted to share that I interviewed Margaret Cho for the latest CityLife. I’m a fan and she’s certainly the biggest name celebrity I’ve interviewed. (And I get to see her tonight, along with Cyndi Lauper, at the True Colors concert benefiting the HRC!) Sweet!
Just a quick update on the “fag bug” project. I’ve been e-mailing Erin and she is excited to come to Las Vegas next month. Still need to set up an event and think about pre- or day-of fundraising options. Also, does anyone have connections to LGBT groups in the high schools or at local colleges?…
Even though I dropped almost completely off the radar last week, somehow the world didn’t. I wanted to be sure to share some of these items with you before they become obsolete. (I promise, as I get better each day, I’ll stop slacking a little more each day.) Believe in reducing your carbon footprint? How…
Sometimes I really love Las Vegas. As if having the Miss Exotic World weekend (June 7-10) here every year weren’t awesome enough, this year they are looking for a few beautiful breasts in the name of charity.

But I wanted to put a quick plug in for my CityLife colleague Matt O’Brien who is hosting a book launch party tonight at First Friday in the Arts Factory. His new book is Beneath the Neon. If you’re headed downtown tonight, try and…
Still recuperating but luckily I have another guest writer to tap for you. The lovely and brilliant Julianna Ormsby of the Nevada Women’s Lobby has graciously offered to give some insight into the circus called the Nevada Legislature currently in its last throes up in Carson City. (Unless they call a special session after the…
I consider myself a fairly progressive person but one conflict I don’t understand is the Arts District anti-development group versus the new developer group. And I genuinely mean that. I don’t understand it. Feel free to break it down for me (but remember your manners, kids). The way I see it, and granted all my…
Today I am featuring a guest column by Nevada NOW President Jessica Brown. Here she breaks down the supposed controversy surrounding the HPV vaccine and myths that have come out of the media who cover it. The truth about the HPV vaccine With little haste, local television, newspapers and radio broadcasts have jumped on the…
Those who read the comments may notice that Erin McCarty of the Nevada Conservation League has left some great ones on the more eco-oriented posts. Specifically, I noticed today that she put information about an upcoming public hearing where Las Vegans can voice their opinion about coal power plants, like the one proposed in White…
