For a $10 hip hop show, this is a sure-fire win with headlining act Abstract Rude putting it down for all of the true hip hop heads out there in the Reno-Sparks-Carson City areas. Another quality event presented at the intimate, fan-friendly Victorian Square venue, The Alley by local hip hop site 775hiphop.com. Head down early and hit up Cantina Los Tres Hombres and/or Great Basin Brewing Company for some delicious eats and pre-concert drinks, as you’ll need to build up energy levels for dancing and/or fist pumping at the show.
If the rest of 2012 shapes up to be anything like this first week, then we’re all undoubtedly in for one wild ride of a year. While we took a break from shooting live music this week, there was still plenty to be done in the spare moments for I Shoot Reno.
Check out the links below for two upcoming shows that are sure to set Reno ablaze.

This was taken at the dinner table for a birthday / New Year’s Day celebration with the in-laws. Pixie was looking as cute as ever in grandma Pat’s lap and this HDR image was ran through iCameraHDR and the fancy hearts and bling are courtesy of LensLight.
2012-01-01 Star Wars Madlibs
I’m pretty sure that Star Wars Madlibs are the perfect accompaniment to the trilogy … this shot has some added bokeh and light leaks courtesy of Picfx.
2012-01-05 Sorry I've been away so long ... here's a shot from my paper shredder!
After taking a break from I Shoot Reno fun time and grinding out some needed office hours at the day job, this shot from the full paper shredder made me smile on the way out of the office Thursday evening. Can you find the word ‘Penalty’?
2012-01-05 My 1st contribution to the #ube_thu before and after party
PolyMagic is the cool frame app used here, FX Photo Studio allowed me to affix the before / after tags and #unitedbyedit / @unitedbyedit are highly recommended searches on Instagram. TONS of talent just waiting to be discovered!
2012-01-07 Cristal in the morning
Leftover Cristal photo from New Year’s layered atop of the blinds in the bedroom. Purple hexagons courtesy of LensLight sit atop of this early Saturday morning post.
2012-01-07 Wifey + Chi Chi + Champagne
Another NYE leftover of my gorgeous wife and chihuahua daughter. Frame Magic lets you apply that cool drop shadow and Squaready helped setup the square workspace to arrange within.
2012-01-07 Fruitadelic
So there’s this place called Edible Arrangements which just opened here in Reno. As the name suggests, the arrangements they make (and deliver) are edible! Fruit is the medium and this shot used Juxtaposer, Picfx and PhotoForge2 to bring the fruitadelica to life.
2012-01-07 What makes you smile?
My wife says that this is her new favorite picture of our chihuahua daughter. I have to agree, it’s pretty darn cute. ToonPAINT is responsible for the cool lines and FX Photo Studio painted in the dirty photo background.
2012-01-07 Did you catch up on your rest this weekend?
Another ToonPAINT + FX Photo Studio combination here plus Frame Magic and Squaready for the final product. Oh, and iWatermark for the copyright info.
