Every year I attend a regional conference for scholars living in the West. This year it was in Reno. I always enjoy exploring new cities and meeting up with old school friends, so the fact that I got to have both experiences at the same time was extra fun. Reno was full of extremes which I also relish. We visited Circus Circus, then went to a fancy restaurant, walked along a street full of tattoo/piercing parlors and gentlemen's clubs to go to a yoga class. Lights/glitz/serenity/conversation. What a weekend.
