| Bobcat 50 Years Unleashed North American Road Tour Bobcat of Phoenix | Thu., July 24, 11:00am-5:00pm | North Phoenix | |
 We suffer our share of PR come-ons, and as a rule, we place them on par with the hissing cockroach. The Bobcat 50 Years Unleashed North American Road Tour, however, is one of the most endearing idiotic notions we’ve encountered. Who, other than those starry-eyed romantics in the... More >> |

| Chase Pagan Rhythm Room | Thu., July 24, 8:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 How does a quirky beardo from the tiny town of Wynne, Arkansas (pop. 8,615) come to write songs that are so beautiful and moving that they can only be referred to as “pieces?” Chances are, there was nothing else to do in a place that small for Chase Pagan, whose musical script is... More >> |

| The Republic Tigers, Televandalists, & Hello the Mind Control Modified Arts | Thu., July 24, 8:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 A crew of Digital Age composers, the Republic Tigers pass around song files like intraband demos, loading them onto ProTools rigs and sculpting massive creations from the initial song chunks. Starting with the hard elements of rock -- guitar, drums, bass line, melody -- the Kansas City band... 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 >> |

Chandler | |
 Think NCAA baseball is one big, ugly abomination on account of those aluminum bats? We think so, too, sometimes, though we do love the sport. That’s why the Arizona Collegiate Wood Bat League is so refreshing and truly the best of both worlds, meaning collegiate athletes get to show off... 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 >> |

| AZ Dodgeball Arizona Army National Guard Armory | Every week Tuesday, Thursday from Thu., June 26 until Tue., September 2, 6:30pm | East Phoenix | |
 I solemnly swear not to mention Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story during the writing of this piece.
Starting . . . now.
When describing an adult-dodgeball affair, it’s de rigueur to reference the 2004 flick. I mean, come on. But if AZ Dodgeball founder Sam Pewitt wants to play coy (the... More >> |

| "Branded and on Display" Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art | Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., June 14 until Sun., September 21 | Central Scottsdale | |
 It’s gotten so we don’t even see them, the carefully placed product endorsements that are part of everyday life. On an episode of American Idol, Simon Cowell raises to his lips a monstrous neon tumbler emblazoned with the Coca-Cola logo, and what we see is a man taking a drink. Our... More >> |

| Castles -n- Coasters Summer Fun Days Castles -n- Coasters | Daily from Thu., July 3 until Mon., September 1 | North Phoenix | |
 The Castles -n- Coasters Summer Fun Days promotion is a smoking deal -- if you don’t spontaneously combust. We’re just tossin’ out a caveat emptor, ’cause you should know up front that your $15 buys unlimited rides on the theme park’s attractions, plus a free round of... More >> |

| "Chado Ralph Rucci" Phoenix Art Museum | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., March 21 until Sun., August 17 | Central Phoenix | |
 High fashion in the Phoenix area is still associated with statements like, "Why, yes, I did get this at Macy's." In this town, you're more likely to be judged by the overall hue and breadth of your tan than for your taste in Balenciaga footwear. This may change some when Barney's opens in... More >> |

 Artist Connie Imboden, whose work is featured in the “Classical Illusion” exhibit, says on her Web site, “There’s nothing more repulsive or seductive than flesh.” Yep. We agree, especially after checking out her underwater photographs that capture the human body in... More >> |

| Digital Art Exhibit Mesa Community College - Paul A. Elsner Library | Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from Thu., July 10 until Mon., September 15, 7:00am-5:00pm | Mesa | |
 Some pretentious art critics think digital photography’s a con -- that with the right software, you can turn a blurry snapshot of your ugly Aunt Sally into a computerized equivalent of the Mona Lisa. Yeah, the equipment matters, but as women all know, it’s talent, instruction, and a... More >> |

| "Early Phoenix: A Photographic Exhibit of Historic Downtown Phoenix" Rosson House Museum | Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., June 6 until Sun., September 28 | Central Phoenix | |
 Much of what once made it bustling and lovely to look at is gone, but the shadow of downtown Phoenix casts a long memory. It’s a dark shadow filled with pretty sites: The San Carlos Hotel on Central Avenue, with its street-front portico and its swoopy neon sign; the Henry Nace-designed... More >> |

| "Framed by Appearance: New Prints by Kathryn Maxwell" Mesa Contemporary Arts | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., April 25 until Sun., August 3 | Mesa | |
 After a night of ego-tronic drinking, you wake up in a foreign bed, locking eyes with an unfamiliar woman. The beauty you followed home yesterday night was real cream, but this basement doppelgänger arouses nothing but your gag reflexes. Nevertheless, you suppress the urge to shit-n-bail... More >> |

| “Human & Animal Grossology” Arizona Science Center | Daily from Sat., May 24 until Mon., September 1 | Central Phoenix | |
 A friend of ours freaks out when he realizes the molecules he's inhaling have been inside our lungs, too. You other wusses better check out “Human & Animal Grossology” at Arizona Science Center beginning Saturday, May 24, and get desensitized to all the emissions and secretions of us... More >> |

East Phoenix | |
 We’re all for hybrid cars and green cleaners, but if we have to look at one more painting exploring the dangers of deforestation, we’re gonna blow chunks. What’s next -- artists go PETA on our asses, hurling red tree sap at anyone not using recycled paper?
At first glance,... More >> |

| "Mass Consumption" Mesa Contemporary Arts | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., June 13 until Sun., August 10 | Mesa | |
 What’s one of our favorite things about Mesa Contemporary Arts besides the kickass exhibits? The gallery's sheer size, which makes it the perfect fit for "Mass Consumption," a show that associate curator Tiffany Fairall describes (in a ginormous nutshell) as "everything about popular... More >> |

| "Masters of Illusion: Unveiling the Mystery of Trompe l'Oeil" Tempe Center for the Arts | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Sat., May 3 until Sat., August 2 | Tempe | |
 The greatest fakers in the art world aren’t forgers, wanna-bes, or even drones churning out 20 Mona Lisas a day for oil-painting stores. They’re practitioners of trompe l’oeil. French for “fool the eye,” the art style was first used in ancient Greece, where landscape... More >> |

 Onetime Hollywood strongman Michael Ovitz used to make news for all the wrong reasons: voicing paranoiac slurs about the “gay mafia,” causing schisms in the Mickey Mouse fantasy factory during his star-crossed Disney stint, and manhandling the help as documented in Suzanne... More >> |

 Rednecks tend to be attracted to large bodies of water. Don’t believe us? How else to explain the “Redneck Riviera” spanning the area from Mobile, Alabama, to the Emerald Coast near Apalachicola, Florida?
Though we live in the desert, that doesn’t mean our state is running... More >> |

 Bust out your capes and fangs. It’s vampire time, baby. No, we’re not talking about Halloween or some teenage goth event. We're speaking of the transformation every Phoenician goes through during the summer months. We avoid the sun, socialize in the evening hours, and sleep during the... More >> |

| Tempe Paintball Half-Price Field Fee Play Tempe Paintball | Every week Tuesday, Thursday from Tue., July 1 until Tue., September 16 | Tempe | |
 Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori. It is sweet and fitting to die for one's country, said Roman poet Horace. However, if you’re more comfortable watching Stripes than enlisting, you might try Tempe Paintball as the remedy for your bloodlust.
