I have only known starflash for short but find her to be very deserving of this award. We must now find higher quality grass for her to swim in.
Comments (0) BEST DOWNTOWN DOG - 2007
Starflash
She's been a guest on downtown's one and only talk show, Grand Avenue Live!, as well as the Uncle Sku's Clubhouse performance art show. We once spotted her occupying a booth along with the other boozehounds at one of downtown's best dives, the defunct Pete's News Room. She was the only non-human allowed to use the bathroom at Thought Crime, privileges that have carried over to The Firehouse collective. And local band Nightwolf wrote and performed a song just for the Australian shepherd/greyhound/coyote bitch.
Her name is Starflash, and she can be spotted whenever photorealist painter and illustrator Suzanne Falk ventures from her east Phoenix work/live studio to various downtown shindigs. From First Friday receptions and Modified Arts shows to the First Phoenix Annual Parade of the Arts and the Willow House outdoor patio, Starflash solicits mad love from the close-knit arts community. Nightwolf best summed up our feelings about the lovable Flash in their dedication ode to the black-coated pooch, "Starflash/You're a dog/And we love you!"

on behalf of starflash i would like to say thank you.! i always knew she was special -this is very sweet.
she is however now requesting a bendy straw for her fuzzy water.
yo ma suzie boo.. hey she's mine, suzanne that is.. the flash? well, she's a free spirit!
Starflash, you are a dog for all seasons. You're fun, beautiful, concerned and can hold your own in a fight. I am so glad that you are being honored in the New Times. Way to go, girl.
