NEW: Tuesday Night Blues @ The Saloon

The popularity of the Monday Night Musician’s Jam Network has taken off over the last six months since I pitched the idea to the venue beyond my expectations. Since then so many singers and musicians have met and created new bands and projects together, many new friendships have been made, and musicians have been able to take the stage and hone their craft.

Last Monday night there were over 25 very talented performers who took the stage for the most amazing jam night with Country, Rock, and Blues.

We are excited to announce a second jam and networking event starting this Tuesday, March 16th at 9pm.
Tuesday Night Blues @ The Saloon
Las Vegas Country Saloon
425 E. Fremont Street
(above Hennessey’s)

The Voodoo Cowboys will host this jam and networking night of blues just like the program for the Monday Night Jam Network. However this will be a night for Blues Genre.

Singers, Musicians and music lovers, please show your support for live music in Las Vegas and keeping it playing.

IHOP National Pancake Day Feb 23rd

Feb 20th, 2010 by Cynthia Weber
IHOP National Pancake Day Feb 23rd


Breaking News from IHOP
Join IHOP to celebrate National Pancake Day on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 From 7am to 10pm, we’ll give you one free short stack (three) of our famous buttermilk pancakes. All we ask is that you consider making a donation to support local children’s hospitals through Children’s Miracle Network or other charities.

About National Pancake Day
Since beginning its National Pancake Day celebration in 2006, IHOP has raised more than $3.25 million to support charities in the communities in which it operates. While IHOP’s National Pancake Day typically takes place on Shrove Tuesday, this year the company will host its free pancake event on Tuesday, February 23, extending the fundraising window by one week to maximize donations for Children’s Miracle Network. With your help, we hope to raise $5 million in five years for Children’s Miracle Network and other local charities through your donations in 2010!

Known also as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras, National Pancake Day dates back several centuries to when the English prepped for fasting during Lent. Strict rules prohibited the eating of all dairy products during Lent, so pancakes were made to use up the supply of eggs, milk, butter and other dairy products…hence the name Pancake Tuesday or Shrove Tuesday.

Clark County Opens Doors to New Shooting Park

Dec 17th, 2009 by Cynthia Weber

The Clark County Shooting Park will officially open its doors Saturday to Southern Nevada’s first public shooting park, a facility designed to increase public safety.

“The shooting park has been a long time coming,” said Commissioner Tom Collins, in whose district the park is located. “I am excited that sports enthusiasts and shooters will finally have a safe place to practice.”
The shooting park will operate for the next three weeks on weekends only and transition over to full-time hours when the park officially opens in mid-January. Collins will fire the opening shots at 8 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 19 at the Shotgun Firing Range, Field 1. Temporary hours of operation will be as follows:

Dec. 19 and 20, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Dec. 26 and 27, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Jan. 2 and 3, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The park is located at 11357 N. Decatur Blvd., about five miles north of the 215 Beltway. Rifle rentals and ammunition are not yet available and it is recommended that park users bring their own firearms, ammunition and hearing and eye protection before coming.

The facility features the following venues:

Combination trap and skeet fields;
An archery range;
A public rifle and pistol center where targets will be sold; and
A shotgun center with 80 recreational vehicles spaces for shooter.

The opening Saturday represents the first phase of the 178-acre, $61 million public shooting facility, paid for by money made available by the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act. The site is located
on 2,900 acres of land. When fully built out, the park is expected to draw competitive shooters from around the world and provide training facilities to law enforcement officials.

The land for the shooting park was transferred to the county from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management in November 2002. Since that time, more than 265,000 new firearms have been registered in Clark County, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. The growth in firearms underscores the need for residents to have a safe, affordable place to shoot.

“This project comes at the request of a lot of citizens who wanted a safer place for shooters,” Commission Chairman Rory Reid said. “This public facility will do a lot to end indiscriminate desert shooting and give tourists a new reason to come to this valley and bolster the local economy.”

Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign, along with Congresswoman Shelley Berkley and Governor Jim Gibbons, then a Congressional representative, sponsored the act that provided the land.

Congresswoman Dina Titus, who was elected last year, lent her support to the shooting park saying, “The opening of the Clark County Shooting Park represents the tireless efforts of many in our community over a number of years. As the only public shooting park in Southern Nevada and a source of great pride, it will offer ample space for training and recreational activities for gun owners and enthusiasts from beginners to sportsmen and everyone in between.”

The county hired Don Turner, then manager of Arizona’s successful Ben Avery Shooting Facility, in 2003 to start the planning process for the park. Turner is now the county’s Shooting Park manager. More information about the park is available on its Web pages at www.accessclarkcounty.com/parks.

Nevada Domestic Partnership Filings Begins Monday

Aug 18th, 2009 by Cynthia Weber
Nevada Domestic Partnership Filings Begins Monday

Same sex couples may pre-file their applications for registration as domestic partnership beginning Monday, August 24, 2009 thru September 24, 2009.

The actual certificates will be issued October 1, 2009 when the law takes effect.

According to Pam DuPre with the Secretary of State Ross Miller’s office said that there is no estimate of how many domestic partners will sign up. One estimate is that 2.7 percent of Nevada households are domestic partnerships.

The domestic partnership is a type of civil contract, says Miller. And a couple will fill out a form that must be notarized and pay $50 to have it filed. A ceremonial certification will be available for an additional $15.

The law was approved by the 2009 Legislature over the veto of Gov. Jim Gibbons. It extends rights similar to those held by married couple. They include community property and debt and the right to seek financial support after a breakup.
The law does not require employers to provide insurance coverage to partners of employees.
Miller said “Oct. 1 will be a historic day. We would like as many couples as possible to be part of it by having their certificates in hand. My office will work hard to make it a special day for them.”
Forms are available under the licensing center at www.nvsos.gov
