Nada is for Sure in Life... Death and Taxes...

hope this is not a shock for you, readers...

Artists must pay sales tax when their art is sold.

This message is brought to you courtesy of the Department of Taxation, who will be sending their representatives and officers down to Nada Motel...a.k.a. Hotel El Cortez (the 2nd & 3rd floors) and also the Town House Motorlodge, both at 2nd & Arlington, DOWNTOWN RENO. Anyway, they tell me that this will happen tomorrow, Thursday, the 26th of June, (Nada Motel's opening day) with most rooms opening around noonish.

Since, hopefully, participating artists already know this tax fact, the excitement and anticipation of the Department of Taxation's visit will end anticlimactically. Some artists have work for sale, these are the ones with a sales tax permit; some do not, these are exhibiting artists with nothing for sale–nada.

Either way, you'll enjoy visiting our rooms, won't you? It's all free, it's all put on by artists and you're invited.


by the way tune in to "Insight" on KXJZ, Sacramento's Capital Public Radio 90.5 around 2:20, you'll hear interviewed, me, Bob the manager at the Cortez and Ann Tracy, artist from Sacramento. We'll be talking about.. what else.. so tune in, in fact, come to Nada Motel and listen to the show there, I'll be phoning in from my room, 203 at the Town House Motorlodge. Hopefully the tax man doesn't come at the same time!


Oh and get Thursday's Reno News & Review, Nada's all over it!

I propose a new tagline for Nada Motel:
"We won't bite you, hell, we don't even wanna' sell you anything (unless we have a sales tax permit, that is..)"
