At first glance, the worlds of rock 'n' roll and golf couldn't be more disparate. One represents rebellion; the other remains the domain of gentlemanly comportment. On certain occasions, however, a dash of leather with your polyester, and a three-wood with your six-string, can be just what the doctor (Feelgood) ordered.Worlds collide at Moonsplash 2003, Friday, April 11, at Raven Golf Club at South Mountain, 3636 East Baseline. Highlights include a golf tournament, tee prizes, a demonstration by world long drive champion Brian Pavlet, silent and live auctions, and an evening party featuring the music of Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, the Pistoleros, and Levyroad. Proceeds benefit Phoenix Children's Hospital. For information call 480-874-2200 or visit www.moonsplashgolf.com.-- Craig Wallach

Electric Pride
Sat 4/12
We love a parade – a big, fat, rainbow parade down Central Avenue. This Saturday, April 12, show your colors at the Valley's biggest-ever gay pride fest. Events kick off with a 10K run, starting at Central and Palm Lane at 9 a.m.; registration, $30, begins at 7:30 a.m. The Pride Parade steps off from the same spot at 10 a.m.
Both events culminate at the Party in the Park -- Indian School Steele Park, that is, at Third Street and Indian School. For 10 bucks admission, you can party nonstop 'til 9 p.m. Pointer sisters Bonnie and June will jump for your love, joined by Digital Soldiers, the Aaron Nelson Project, the fine Mark Weigle, R&B man Jeff Krassner, Tucson's Lee Anne Savage and the Audacity, the Grand Canyon Men's Chorale, female illusionists and cloggers. Meet the newly crowned Mr. and Miss Arizona Central Pride, then dance the day away. Beer, vodka and snacks will abound at the food court to keep your energy up, so turn out loud and proud. Forget that tolerance stuff -- too minimal. Everybody hug. See www.azpride.org. -- Kim Toms
