The tradition was started back when most of us were on the RJ's board. We mostly moved over here because some of the people over there put CD's trolls to shame.

First Friday is a street party in the arts district downtown on the first Friday of every month. It's a lot of fun, especially when the weather is nice. The galleries, antique stores, and restaurants are open, streets are blocked off, and there are bands, street performers, food booths, etc. It covers several square blocks. The area is old, and many businesses are in original railroad houses which were built right after 1905 when Las Vegas began, and some are registered historic buildings today. It is a bit of normalcy for locals away from the touristy resort atmosphere of the Strip and Fremont Street.

There is also the Friday at 9PM thing. Right outside the Golden Nugget.

Now anyone who knows the "thing" shaddup. You simply have to hang out around the Freemont side of the Golden Nuggest at 9PM for a while. You will find a pointless crowd there. Just wait. When it happens you will know.

YOu can report back here that you now know...but no squealing. The answer may be found only by attending.
