In the beginning...

Welcome to WhoaBam Reno!

Okay Friends. Here we are in Reno NV. How did we get here? I've been here for about 6 months and I think of all of the people I've met in Reno, only one of then is actually FROM Reno. In my time here I've also noticed that of all of the places that I've lived, Reno has been the hardest to find fun and exciting things to do! So, do we just sit back and say "Oh well."

We could, but you know who likes that? No one. No one likes that.

So what is WhoaBam Reno? WhoaBam Reno is a social club of sorts. We decided that instead of passively living our lives out here in Reno, we wanted to get out there and fully embrace everything (okay, well maybe not EVERYTHING) that Reno has to offer! We want to get out there, knock on the front door and say " Take me Reno, I'm yours."

This is how it works:
There is a huge pie chart hanging up on the wall with the option of 8 exciting new to us activities. They range in extensively in content from Ice Skating on the river to going out to visit the Mustang Ranch. Every time one activity is chosen, another one goes up in it's place.

Every Wednesday we will spin the wheel and see what pops up. I will then post the weeks' activity on the blog so that everyone knows what, where and when the WhoaBam Reno activity for the week is happening!

Here's the fun part- for every outing there is an extra credit portion. For example, let's say that we end up going ice skating, the extra credit may be that while on the rink you have to convince someone to three legged race with you to the other side. If we go to Susie's, everyone has to bring something home, etc.

There will also be a special posting about special events and weekly/monthly events. If you have something you think would be fun for WhoaBam Reno, let us know! We'd love to add you to the chart. Please email all suggestions to WhoaBamReno@gmail.com We will be doing the inaugural spin tomorrow night and we will be posting the exciting results here.

WhoaBam Reno may not be for everyone. All we are trying to do is have a little fun and get to know the place that we live a little better. We want to love you Reno! Just let us love you!
