 Fan or hater, you've kept tabs on Ryan Avery. If you weren't already up on his exploits, then the New Times cover story piqued your interest (“Hi, My Name Is Ryan,” August 3, 2006, Benjamin Leatherman). Then you heard about Paul Eagleston and Stephen Rose's documentary Hi My Name Is... More >> |

We're hoping the ballot-boothin’ kids keep... More >> |

| Art Edwards Stinkweeds | Thu., September 4, 7:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 Just because you wrote a few songs doesn’t mean you’re qualified to author an entire book. (How would you like to read Donny Osmond’s memoirs?) Fortunately, former Phoenician Art Edwards — co-founder, co-songwriter, and bass player of The Refreshments — has more than... More >> |

| Carnaval Party Club Palazzo | Thu., September 4 | Central Phoenix | |
 Ah, Carnaval, the debaucherous Brazilian street party riddled with sparkles, feathers, and grabby hands galore.

Central Phoenix | |
 While Hurricane Katrina was wreaking havoc in New Orleans on August 29, 2005, President Bush was in Phoenix, posing for a photo-op, cake in hand, with birthday boy Senator John McCain. That lack of priority was only the beginning of the government’s failure.

| Arizona Diamondbacks Family Fridays Chase Field |
Fri., August 29 more dates/times |
Central Phoenix | |
 If you’re like us, you loathe and despise the captive-audience price-gouging that goes on at sports arenas. Five or six bucks for a dog? Eight or nine for a brew? Hell, you’ll only shell out $5 for a sixer and another buck for the wiener at the neighborhood Circle K. The whole... More >> |

| “The Premier Photographers of Punk Rock” Perihelion Arts | Every week Saturday from Sat., August 2 until Sat., August 30, 1:30pm-7:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 The punk-rock ethos, if such a thing existed, hardly left room for calculated image creation. But an impressive punk iconography remains, thanks in part to the likes of Ruby Ray and Dawn Wirth. Armed with a camera and a scant supply of expensive film, Ray and Wirth honed their photog skills... More >> |

 Remember how much fun it was to swim at the public pool as a kid?

 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 >> |

 Before we get to the macho stuff, we must give a small shout-out to the comfy 1130 The Restaurant, whose recent opening was the best thing that’s happened to Arizona Center since about 1990. Or since the last Miss Hooters contest.
Now, the macho stuff.
While it can’t compete with a... 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 >> |

Fri., September 5, 6:00pm-10:00pm more dates/times |
Central Phoenix | |
 Ask any nerd piss-ant what he knows about Japan and he’ll probably blather on about manga, the island nation’s sadistic game shows, or those Tokyo vending machines that specialize in used celebrity underwear. We don’t deny that a lot of strange things emanate from that cooped-up... More >> |

| Phoenix Mercury vs. Houston U.S. Airways Center | Sun., September 7, 6:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 It’s been a letdown of a season for last year’s WNBA champions, the Phoenix Mercury. At the time of this writing, the Merc were in last place in the Western Conference with little to no chance of making it to the postseason. But that doesn’t mean the lady ballers are any less... More >> |

| "One for All, and All for One: The Jumpsuit" Phoenix Art Museum | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., September 6 until Sun., February 1 | Central Phoenix | |
 Oprah. Elvis. Charlie’s Angels. Prison inmates. Fashion victims all, thanks to the jumpsuit. We’d tease and taunt these dinos and ne’er-do-wells, but, God help us, the vexing garment seems to be making a comeback.
