Sounds good.

I was planning to have a early departure on Saturday (but could be coerced into a Friday departure) and return on Sunday PM.

Planning to attend 1PM session.

The Bridgetender was a cool little place, where they had a few good taps. Reno has a pretty decent scene (Great Basin and Silver Peak), a f...
