Culture, conversation and complimentary coffee this Saturday. Bring your brains!

Urban historian, blogger and awesome-person-about-town Brian Paco Alvarez is our guest at this Saturday's Desert Companion on Tour.

We'll talk about the state of Las Vegas arts, culture, history, the universe and Paco's impeccable taste in quality hats. You should come -- and bring your questions, thoughts and mind-torching insights.

We'll have a great conversation, great coffee and a good dose of that ineffable community-building stuff that everyone is talking about. Come out 9:30 a.m. Sept. 17 at Bar + Bistro at the Arts Factory, 107 E. Charleston Blvd.
