Yesterday was La Tomatina in Reno...you say it was what, where? The club Cal Neva in Reno along with the American Cancer Society had a great idea to have a huge tomato fight in downtown Reno to raise money for cancer research. A local grocery store donated 50,000 lbs of tomatoes and at 6 pm they tried to hold the crowd back but it became tomato warfare! Tomatoes were flying everywhere, no one was safe! I think I personally was pelted in the head like 10 times from across the tomatoey field. Soon the remaining tomatoes became soup and you were wading through it, scooping it up and flinging it at everyone. I had a blast.

On Saturday Night Warren Miller premiered its newest movie, Children of Winter at the Events Center in downtown Reno. The movie was pretty good, especially the last segment, I thought. In any event, there were quite a few Porters Team riders there representing their sponsors. Nate Holland, Michelle Parker, JT Holmes, Cody Townsend, and me, Jeremy Benson, were all there to sign posters and bro down like nobody's business. Lots of other well known athletes from this area were in attendance with the likes of Ingrid Backstrom, Daron Rahlves, Brad Holmes, Erik Roner, Jessica Sobolowski, and Kevin Quinn all taking care of business as well. Free posters and stickers were gobbled up by the masses and a good time was had by all. Here's a shot of me signing posters, weird.

For those of you that were fortunate enough to grab up a Nintendo Wii when they first came out count your self lucky because for all your jealous friends and the rest of us it has been like trying to win the lottery to find a Wii. I , however will no longer be jealous as I recently stumbled into the Target in Reno, NV late in the evening and there to my surprise was a lonely Wii sitting in the case. I looked at my husband and said "we are stupid if we don't buy this" he agreed and we took the little guy home with us along with Tiger Woods golf. Now I have jealous friends but they are all welcome to come and play when ever they want.

I have never been a big video game fan through the ages of Atari, yes I am old enough, Nintendo NES, and Playstation one and two as they never captured my attention like the Wii. Being active while playing a video game is just what I needed to become a video game fan. It is pretty cool to feel like you are bowling, minus the weight of the ball of course or playing tennis. I would like to add that you really must know how to play golf to be any good at playing Tiger Woods on the Wii. For the rest of you that don't have a Wii keep your eyes peeled and maybe stumble into Target one evening and you might get lucky like we did.
