Keep Phoenix New Times Free
We’re aiming to raise $10,000 by April 26. Your support ensures New Times can continue watching out for you and our community. No paywall. Always accessible. Daily online and weekly in print.
We’re ashamed to admit it, but we’ve always admired cosplayers. Not for their taste – or diet or personal hygiene – but for their courage. You have to respect someone who proudly advertises his or her interests with no regard for the stigmatization that inevitably follows.
If you’re a closeted rockabilly fan, take a page from the cosplayers’ handbook and drag your friends to F1 Race Factory for “Tres Días” Rockabilly Festival. Your ignorant pals may hear “rockabilly” and think “hick,” but after they check out righteous acts like Dick Dale, The Blasters, and Agent Orange, they might just change their minds.
The fest also includes a custom-car show and a pin-up girl contest.
