Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

Hey Rockers, our Vegoose Ticket Giveaway ends today at 4:20pm. Vegoose is the Halloween weekend two day rock fest in Las Vegas with dozens of bands and a crowd that loves to dress up in wild costumes.

Tom Petty will be headlining, the Mars Volta will be there, the Black Crowes will be there, Fiona Apple will be there, and we want you to be there.

So here's how you can enter... go to the Vegoose website and write us a haiku that includes at least one other band that will be performing that we haven't mentioned in this post. Send us as many haikus as you want in one email - ok fine, not as many haikus as you like, limit them to six.
