| Steely Dan Dodge Theatre | Sun., July 20, 7:30pm | Central Phoenix | |
While parents have predictably freaked out over the social menace imposed in turn by the blues, jazz, secular R&B, rock and roll, heavy metal, rap, and techno, they never seemed to bat an eyelash over Steely Dan.

We're pretty sure that the prototypical fantasy geek and Christian apologist C.S.

| "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."
