Where: Wingfield Park, Reno - First and Arlington Avenue, Reno
Enjoy the classic Monroe movie under the stars downtown with perfect weather.
Two struggling musicians, Joe and Jerry (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon), witness what looks like the Saint Valentine's Day massacre of 1929. When the Chicago gangsters, directed by 'Spats' Columbo (George Raft), see them, the duo flee for their lives. They escape and decide to leave town, to a job that they turned to disguising themselves as women to play in an all-girl musical band headed to Florida. Calling themselves Josephine and Geraldine (later Jerry changes his pseudonym to Daphne), they join the band and board a train. Joe and Jerry both become enamored of "Sugar Kane" (Marilyn Monroe), the band's vocalist and ukulele player, and struggle for her affection while maintaining their disguises.

Where: Downtown Reno - Amendment 21 - 425 South Virginia Street, Reno
This ridiculously fun event is being held on July 10, 2010. The premise is simple: just make up a character theme from your imagination. Pick something from your personality, pop culture, or daily life and expand on it - and you've got yourself a Superhero or Villain identity. No Superhero or Super Villain name is too great or too dorky. All are welcome to the 4th Annual Superhero Pub Crawl.
Superhero Crawl's mission is to save the World, one drink at a time. Please join other Superheroes and Villains (real or imaginary) on July 10, 2010 for the fourth Superhero Crawl. Just like last year, we will go until the bars close or the last person pukes (which was around 6 am last year). Join the fun and be imaginative. The start bars will be the Amendment 21 and Imperial and it will all end up at 210 North. This year with the added charity aspect, we’re expecting over 2000 Superheroes and Villains!

Curtis Vodka:
"Already a sensation on the Internet, young Curtis Vodka has been flipping songs on the regular and making the Internet go nuts all on a simple desktop computer tucked away in the urban sprawl of Anchorage, Alaska. A simple Google search will soon explain why we had to track Curtis down and finally get him to press these tracks for the club. Thus, you have Flamin Hotz 002 the Yeti Bounce EP where hard hitting Baltimore breakbeats meld with icey Alaskan keys creating a souled out sound that will make you want to hold your partner and slow dance fast."
"Breaking his way into the music business via, the Internet, young Curtis Vodka is straight from the cold-ass ghetto lands of Anchorage, Alaska. At age 14, young Curtis got his first DJ set and practiced everyday (before and after school) with his schoolmates. Naturally, that would evolve into beat-making, which would last until the mentally-confusing age of 16. Due to the pressures of teenage angst combined with economics, Curtis would be forced to take a sabbatical from his growing passion. Like many other hopeless youth, he took a dive into the underworld of the mean streets. After being enveloped in the darkness for about 2 years, he was called back towards the light. With a reinvigorated force and new game plan, which involved leaving school for TOTAL focus and dedication, Curtis was back like he never left! With an upcoming European tour, and his first OFFICIAL ep (Yeti Bounce on Flamin Hotz Records) on the way, AINT NO STOPPIN this kid from getting his Grown Man on! With support from unbelievable talent such as Disco D, Cosmo Baker (The RUB), Sir Nenis (Top Billin’), Buddy Leroy (215/Broady Champs), Chipset (Baltimore Bass Connection), and a LONG list of others, he is HERE for the long haul."
