| Jon Sands Phoenix Art Museum | Tue., October 14, 6:30pm | Central Phoenix | |
The odes to self-love in pop culture are legion, ranging from Cyndi Lauper's pouty-voiced paean "She Bop" to the Divinyls' slinky "I Touch Myself." NYC poet Jon Sands' "Being Human Being" starts with self-inflicted lust, but swiftly traces its way to playfully affirming his love for humanity's,... More >> |

| The Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibition Arizona Science Center | Daily from Sat., June 7 until Sun., October 26, 10:00am-5:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
We're pretty sure that the prototypical fantasy geek and Christian apologist C.S. Lewis never imagined that his acclaimed children's series The Chronicles of Narnia would spawn something as scary-sounding as an "immersive marketing experience." So trust it to late capitalism to concoct such a... More >> |

| The Rat Pack -- Live at the Sands Gammage Auditorium |
Tue., October 14, 7:30pm more dates/times |
Tempe | |
Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Dean Martin were glorified hoods, or at the least gambled (and gamboled) with floozies and wiseguys, so if youre looking for a PBS-style documentary about what really happened during the Rat Packs famously tawdry run of concerts at the Mob-owned... More >> |

| Arizona Duck (DUKW) Tour Pleasant Harbor Marina at Lake Pleasant |
Daily, 10:00am more dates/times |
Peoria | |
Military intelligence, as the old saw goes, is an oxymoron. But the dudes in khaki got it right when they introduced the odd amphibious vehicle called the DUKW during WWII. The bastard spawn of a U-boat and a Hummer helped American troops survive beach attacks like Normandy by transporting... More >> |

| Arizona Exposition & State Fair Arizona State Fairgrounds | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., October 10 until Sun., November 2 | Central Phoenix | |
Way back in 1884, a small band of heat-addled Phoenicians put their hardscrabble noggins together and thunk up the Arizona Territorial Fair, which was essentially a reason to bust out of their stifling shotgun shacks after a season on the brink of madness. The diversions they installed at the... More >> |

| "Dia de los Plush" Red Hot Robot | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sun., October 12 until Fri., November 7 | Central Phoenix | |

| Food Club The Firehouse | Every week Tuesday, 8:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
Normally, when we hit up a potluck, were rudely greeted with the same tired-ass cuisine. Processed crap. Stale bread. Tubs of mayo topped with hues of yellow mustard and green relish goo. Every. Single. Time.
Youll see none of this during The Firehouses weekly Food Club vegan... More >> |

Central Scottsdale | |
Just stop watching the Dow. Stop. You're going to freak yourself out. To help the economy, make sure not to cut down on any extra expenses.

| "La Casa Murillo: A Life-Size Shadowbox" Heard Museum | Daily from Fri., October 3 until Sun., January 11 | Central Phoenix | |

| "Up From the Ashes: Phoenix Goes to Mars" Arizona Capitol Museum | Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday | Central Phoenix | |
Let's not pull punches. Phoenicians detest Tucsonans, their Birkenstock flip-flops and patchouli cologne, their laissez-faire approach to life, their liberal voting habits. (On the other hand, we've got Sheriff Joe and the idiots who keep electing him, so maybe theyre on to something.)... More >> |

| Words in the Alley: Feral Poetry A Shot of Java | Every week Tuesday, 7:00pm | Glendale | |
If someone asks to have words with you in an alley, expect fisticuffs. However, John Lynn, the host of Words in the Alley: Feral Poetry, just wants to stoke your latent creative juices.
