“Lealand Legacy” Manzanita Speedway Sat., July 5, 7:30pm Central Phoenix
Where do you think the term “The Tempe Tornado” comes from? A reference to the loftification of University Drive or the Anywhereville-ing of Mill Avenue? Nope, the moniker belongs to the one and only Lealand McSpadden, one of Manzanita Speedway’s greatest racecar drivers. The... More >>
The 4th Dimension Space 55 Theatre Sat., July 5, 7:00pm Central Phoenix
David Lynch, blecch. He’s the Alan Rudolph of cinematic subversion, and here’s how much I dislike him: I’d writhe through a Rudolph triple-bill of The Moderns, Choose Me, and Trouble in Mind if it got me out of seeing Eraserhead again. Serendipitously, I’ve found someone... More >>

Phoenix Mercury vs. New York Liberty U.S. Airways Center Sat., July 5, 7:00pm Central Phoenix
How in hell did our WNBA-champion Phoenix Mercury go 0-fer-May? And how ’bout that sparkling 3-6 record they carried into mid-June? Well, there’ve been three significant changes since last year’s campaign, and that’s a ton for any pro-basketball team, no matter the gender.... 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 >>
Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Diego Padres Chase Field Sat., July 5, 5:10pm
more dates/times 		Central Phoenix
If it weren’t for the munificence of the other teams in the National League West – which have let the whippersnapping Arizona Diamondbacks run roughshod over ’em – our Baby Snakes might top Major League Baseball’s endangered-species list. The D-Backs racked up a 20-8... 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.

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 >>

"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." In this town, you're more likely to be judged by the overall hue and breadth of your tan than for your taste in Balenciaga footwear. This may change some when Barney's opens in... 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 >>

more dates/times 		Central Phoenix
Mark Mothersbaugh lives a symmetrical life of wild extremes. Consider: • He’s was born and still lives in Akron, Ohio – all-American birthplace of the rubber tire, Alcoholics Anonymous, and the soap-box derby – but made his name as frontman for the band Devo, which... More >>

"Masters of Illusion: Unveiling the Mystery of Trompe l'Oeil" Tempe Center for the Arts Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Sat., May 3 until Sat., August 2 Tempe
The greatest fakers in the art world aren’t forgers, wanna-bes, or even drones churning out 20 Mona Lisas a day for oil-painting stores. They’re practitioners of trompe l’oeil. French for “fool the eye,” the art style was first used in ancient Greece, where landscape... More >>

more dates/times 		Central Phoenix
When you’re 6 years old and have an imaginary friend, you get a roll of the eyes and a pat on the head. If you’re 30, you get a rubber room and a dose of anti-psychotics. Luckily for Neil Gillingham, artists get a free pass when it comes to having pretend pals at any age. After... More >>
Night Splash Waterworld Safari Every week Saturday from Sat., June 28 until Sat., August 30, 7:00pm-11:00pm Glendale
It's pretty obvious when summer’s come to town. Just look at the children. They've spent about a million hours reenacting The Little Mermaid and Finding Nemo in the backyard pool, so their hair is completely bleached out and their eyes are all bloodshot. Instead of looking like Disney... More >>
