Wednesday July 8: Things to do in Carson City

It’s a great day for music in Carson City. The Annual Concert Under the Stars at Adele’s is already sold out, but there are still options if you didn't get a ticket. Tonight, check out the Jazz Jam at Sassafras with Rick Metz’ First Take, or bring an instrument to the Jam with Josh and Janera at the Firkin and Fox.

I know that Seven Degrees of Kevin Bacon is usually played with movies, but play it with his birthday today and he’s just one degree from Eli Lilly, John D. Rockefeller, Hugo Boss, Wolfgang Puck, Beck, and Coca-Cola inventor, John Pemberton. Those captains of industry have had their fingers in almost pie imaginable. Kevin Bacon really is seven degrees away from everyone on the planet. Did I mention it’s Trivia night at Lake Tahoe Brewing Company?
