Let’s try something different.

Well, this is Reno Collective, so let’s continue to do things differently.

Let’s host a show. Let’s host several shows – shows by local bands in a stripped-down style at our more-than-modest venue. In the spirit of NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts, let’s showcase local talents and open them up to the public. We’ll have a show every other week. And hey, if these little shindigs catch on, maybe we’ll go weekly.

Two of Reno’s leaders in interactive technology education and production have joined forces. Beginning this spring semester, UNR’s Reynolds School of Journalism (RSJ) and Reno Collective (RC) will bring higher education and professional coworking under the same umbrella. The quietly anticipated partnership between the two communities—both of which emphasize the value of interaction on a personal and global level—is finally official.

Get a group of people together around a whiteboard and give each of them a different color marker. Set them loose on a topic and you’ll be amazed by what happens. You get the opportunity to see how other people think how they visualize problems and, above all else, how different perspectives can create innovative solutions.

Mike and Nate over at Amendment 21 have been more than good to us as we’ve collaborated on events in the past such as the themed bar crawls, geek nights and Lunch 2.0. We are now doing a benefit show on August 1st featuring Black Rock City All Stars and Bohemian Burlesque.

The all-ages event will kick-off outside Amendment 21 at 7pm with Black Rock City All Stars, hula hoopers, Bohemian Burlesque, booths from local community organizations, and more. At 10pm, we’ll bring the party inside for a 21+ performance by Bohemian Burlesque.

Get in the door with a $5 donation that will help us develop and continue hosting wonderful resources and events for the Reno community. Drink specials include $5 PBJ’s.

Come join us for some fun and learn more about Reno Collective and how you can help make Reno a better …
