How much do we enjoy a mug, stein, or glass of the golden wonder fluid that is beer? What if we told you that we have a wing of our house dedicated to the memory of Spuds MacKenzie? That our DVD racks include every season of Scrubs simply because we…
With the economy kinda dumpy, you might want to get away from it all. Adding stamps to your passport, though, doesn’t seem practical right now. Cheer up, buttercup, because Phoenix Sister Cities has your back with its annual WorldFEST celebration, which features a full weekend of transnational cuisine, drink, entertainment,…
Admit it, you big ol’ sexist. You hear “deejay” and you picture some gangly dude with facial piercings holding earphones to his bopping head, making eyes at any vagina that walks by. Key word in this scenario: dude. Girls can do it, too, you know. Okay, maybe not the scouting…
Did you forget to give your sweetie a special night two week ago? Shame on you, but not to worry. Chandler Cinemas is offering a belated — and brutal — Valentine this weekend: the original 1981 Canadian shocker My Bloody Valentine. What better way to mend those wounded feelings than…
At 162 regular-season games, plus 30-odd preceding contests that don’t count a lick, the baseball season can be cruelly long, and whether this year’s Arizona Diamondbacks cough up another fist-size fur ball or actually win something that matters, we’re all gonna be pretty sick of hearing those words “Arizona Diamondbacks”…

Many of college baseball’s great rivalries closely match those found in the college-football world. There’s Florida State/Miami, Clemson/South Carolina, and Texas/Texas A&M. However, mention that the Arizona State Sun Devils are taking on the Oregon State Beavers on the gridiron and the only folks who would give two poops are…

Thomas Wolfe was apparently mistaken: You can go home again. But if you do, terrible things may well befall you, as happens to Bruce Graham’s fictional Deke Winters, a former high-powered lawyer who’s recently lost his wife and all his money. In Graham’s play Minor Demons, Deke has scampered back…

WestWorld used to be Horseworld. The area surrounding it was a leaky desert floodplain in the middle of nowhere. Now, the floodplain’s been wrangled into subservience and the facility’s surrounded by upscale-yet-bland north Scottsdale office parks. But the pleasures of the horseflesh live on at WestWorld, as does a flicker…
Confessions of a Shopaholic? Puh-leeze. New in Town? Yuck. Bride Wars? Excuse us while we vomit. “Chick flicks” must make a buttload of money for somebody (including their female leads), but let’s not kid ourselves into thinking they do much to advance the role of women in film. Thankfully, Lunafest…
