Wednesday, April 22: Things to do in Carson City

Do you feel like I do, Carson City? If you love living here, than the answer is yes. It’s Wednesday in our fair capital city and that means jazz and blues: jazz jam tonight at Sassafras and lunchtime blues and Americana at Comma Coffee. If you’re feeling a little bit country, than head over to Carson Lanes for some line dance instruction in the Eleventh Frame Lounge. For those of you in Dayton, may I suggest you see what the talented students at Dayton High are up to: their annual Night of the Arts is open to the community and showcases art, theater, music, and culinary savvy.

WEDNESDAY: Earth Day

• Nevada Arts Day at the Legislature
• Customer Appreciation Month: free glazed donut with medium drink at Dunkin Donuts
• Last day: ‘Always Lost: A Meditation on War’ in the Second Floor Atrium of the Legislature Building

I just like art. I get pure pleasure from it. I have a lot of wonderful paintings, and every time I look at them I see something different.
-Jack Nicholson born April 22, 1937
