| ASU Football Scrimmage and Fan Appreciation Day Sun Devil Stadium | Thu., August 21, 7:00pm-9:00pm | Tempe | |
 We’re tired of reading the preseason practice reports of college-football squads. They basically all say the same thing. Most teams feel great and think they can compete for the national championship. Whatever. These canned quotes are wack. Thankfully, beginning next week, we won’t... More >> |

| James Intveld Rhythm Room | Thu., August 21, 9:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 Your Mama and Papa always told you to stay away from strange men, especially those who wore leather outfits in public. According to them, these strangers were prime qualifiers for the Neighborhood Watch’s registry of dubious citizens. Truth is, your parents were probably worthier of a... More >> |

| Arizona Cardinals Training Camp 2008 Northern Arizona University | Thu., August 21, 8:15pm | Outside the Valley | |
 Hoops season was a bust. The Diamondbacks have been struggling mightily. The Coyotes . . . who the hell cares? Thank God it’s time for Arizona Cardinals Training Camp 2008. Our perennial laughingstocks – who’ve won a pitiful total of one playoff game in 61 years – have long... More >> |

| Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Diego Padres Chase Field | Thu., August 21, 6:40pm | Central Phoenix | |
 The San Diego Padres. Ugh. What to say about these NL West cellar dwellers?
[Insert enough white space here to fill up the article’s predetermined word count.]
Aw, man. That ain’t going to fly with our editor. Plus, we want to keep our job, so we’ll gab as best we can.... More >> |

| Lappy Hour Duck & Decanter | Third Thursday of every month, 4:00pm-7:00pm | East Phoenix | |
 When we told our dog about Lappy Hour, a monthly networking and adoption opportunity for canines and their humans, all he wanted to know was if there’d be any bitches there. Geez, Mr. Bisquit, evolve already.
New Times caught up with Lappy Hour founder Vickie Rudd, who’s a bit more... More >> |

| Lyme Lyte Thursdays feat. DJs Benjamin Cutswell, & Kid Vicious Lyte Lounge & Bistro | Every week Thursday, 10:00pm | Tempe | |
 Whenever we're out surveying some of the more ostentatious and showy nightspots that make up P-town's club scene, the lyrics from that Finger 11 song "Paralyzer" seem to roll through our heads. You know, the verse where Scott Anderson sings: "This club has got to be/The most pretentious... 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 >> |

| Dearly Departed Chyro Arts Venue | Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Thu., August 21 until Sat., September 6, 8:00pm | South Scottsdale | |
 Reading the press release for Dearly Departed, a play in the first week of its run at Chyro Arts Venue, comparisons to William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying are inevitable. However, instead of hicks transporting a corpse in a pine-box coffin, the David Bottrell/Jesse Jones comedy follows the... More >> |

| The Rocky Horror Show presented by Nearly Naked Theatre Phoenix Theatre's Little Theatre | Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., August 15 until Sat., September 13 | Central Phoenix | |
 There’s a lyric from one of the Richard O’Brien tunes in his intergalactically famous The Rocky Horror Show that goes, “It was great when it all began/I was a regular Frankie fan.” It’s a lyric that has proven more true than the then-starving young playwright could have... 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 >> |

| Busty Boobs & Thong Contest Margarita Rocks | Every week Thursday, 9:00pm | Tempe | |
 If we had the self-awareness 18 years ago that we have now, we would have dropped more blouses at wet T-shirt contests. Alas, we were young and foolish, and had no real inkling of the limited shelf life of perky hooters.
Life may be over for us, but still-bouncy ladies have a chance to get it... 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 >> |

Mesa | |
 Gigantic, pissed-off chickens with teeth. That’s the impression created by the imposing models on display in the “Feathered Dinosaurs and the Origins of Flight” exhibit. After you check out these dentally impressive fowl, run for your life to Arizona Science Center and marvel at... 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 >> |

| Kollectiv Art and Design Group Show Kollectiv Art and Design | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., August 1 until Sun., August 31 | Central Phoenix | |
 You grew up in a fascist household where creativity wasn’t encouraged. At age 2, when you drew an abstract version of your dog, your parents took note of its asymmetry and shook their heads critically. They couldn’t tolerate anything but pure genius, and if that wasn’t... More >> |

| "Local Produce" Lisa Sette Gallery | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Thu., July 10 until Sat., September 27 | Central Scottsdale | |
 You buy your books from Amazon.com and your housewares from IKEA, and you only grant foreigners and their charming accents passage rights to your uterus. What’s wrong with you? Haven’t you ever heard about giving back to the community, about appreciating and encouraging local... More >> |

| Night Gallery Tempe Marketplace | Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 6:00pm-9:00pm | Tempe | |
 Commodification of art is nothing new (we especially like those Hello Kitty vibrators), but a respectable art gallery slumming in a mall is right up there with Wal-Marts on sacred burial grounds, even if it’s exactly the kind of "social embeddedness" that Joe Baker, ASU's Director of... More >> |

| "No Snow on the Broken Bridge: Video Work by Yang Fudong" Phoenix Art Museum | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Tue., July 8 until Sun., September 14 | Central Phoenix | |
 Phoenix Art Museum has always had a thing for Asian art. Its permanent collection of Chinese, Japanese, and Southeast Asian artworks is not only massive, but also well-regarded. The "No Snow on the Broken Bridge: Video Work by Yang Fudong" exhibit is another amazing gem in PAM’s new series... More >> |

| "NOW: Selections From the Ovitz Family Collection" ASU Art Museum at Nelson Fine Arts Center | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., June 7 until Sun., September 28 | Tempe | |
 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 >> |

| Salt River Tubing & Recreation Salt River Tubing & Recreation | Daily from Sat., May 3 until Tue., September 30, 9:00am-7:00pm | Mesa | |
 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 >> |

| "Sarah Kriehn: Encounters" Practical Art | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., August 1 until Sun., August 31 | Central Phoenix | |
 They say that those who can’t do, teach. Local artist Sarah Kriehn couldn’t disagree more. She taught elementary art for over 20 years, then retired and started a solo printmaking career. According to Kriehn, it’s not that teachers aren’t talented. The problem is that they... More >> |

| Summer Flashlight Tour Desert Botanical Garden | Every week Thursday, Saturday from Thu., May 1 until Sat., August 30, 7:00pm-9:00pm | East Phoenix | |
 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.
Every Thursday and Tuesday from noon to 9... More >> |
