| “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 >> |

| Haunted Cologne, Uggamugga, Janis Joplin Crap n Vomit, & Plague Party The Willow House | Sat., July 5, 8:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 While postpartum depression and nuclear fallout are downers, it's the aftermath of a great party that gives rise to our leaden sighs. Local polka ensemble Haunted Cologne plans to take full advantage of America's un-birthday, otherwise known as the day after the Fourth. "We're gonna make July... 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 >> |

| Reefer Madness Phoenix Theatre's Little Theatre | Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Sat., June 7 until Sat., July 5, 8:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 Pssst. Yeah, you. Wanna buy some Reefer Madness? No, the musical, you hophead!
Why has Nearly Naked Theatre has chosen to present the Arizona première of this gaudy whirlwind of sex, drugs, and lounge music, based on the idiotic/cautionary 1936 movie of the same name? Says the... More >> |

| Leslie Jordan’s My Trip Down the Pink Carpet Herberger Theater Center | Sun., July 6, 8:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 He claims he “isn’t even a D-List celebrity,” yet he has an Emmy Award and a best-selling memoir and is on a national tour. It’s not the kind of comment that comes from humility -- Leslie Jordan is, after all, an actor -- but rather from the psyche of a former troubled youth... More >> |

| Andrew Jackson Jihad, Jordaan Mason, Shelby Sifers, Sarcastic Darma Society, Uggamugga, Lonesome Architects, & more Trunk Space | Mon., July 7, 7:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 Guitarist Sean Bonnette is playing his acoustic ax like a troubadour on crank.
The 21-year-old scruffy-haired musician is a supernova of manic energy, ripping vicious riffs onstage at the Trunk Space in downtown Phoenix as the frontman for folk-punk trio Andrew Jackson Jihad. His right hand is... More >> |

| Ukulele Ray & The KoKoNutz Paisley Violin | Fri., July 11, 7:00pm-11:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 When you think of a ukulele, do you think of Joan Rivers and Cheech & Chong? You will once you get a load of Ukulele Ray & The KokoNutz, a tropical/classic rock/comedy act from Tempe. Leader Ray, an ex-Chippendales dancer, is a conjugation of hot and hilarious. The self-hailed pop artist and... More >> |

| HEALTH Trunk Space | Sat., July 12, 7:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 L.A. four-piece HEALTH sounds more suited to the hipster-tastic Rogue Bar than Trunk Space, where the band will be posting up tonight. We felt this especially after we listened to Health’s hit “Crimewave.” During certain movements of the dance-happy song, which is driven by... More >> |

| Sizzlin' Summer Saturdays: "Bejeweled! American Indian Jewelry" Heard Museum | Sat., July 12, 10:30am-3:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 Indian jewelry is one of the Southwest’s signature art forms, and one of the loveliest. Unfortunately, even the best of it’s often lumped in with the Native dreck hawked at roadside stands and retail stores.
Discerning jewelry-philes haunt the Heard Museum, both as a place to shop... More >> |

| Unlimited Enthusiasm Expo 2008 Modified Arts | Sun., July 13, 5:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 Leave your cynicism at the door for the totally unironically named Unlimited Enthusiasm Expo (subtitle: Camp Jump & Yell for Girls and Wizards).

| 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 >> |

| "The G R E E N B E L T: a photographic collaboration" eye lounge |
Sat., July 5, 1:00pm-5:00pm more dates/times |
Central Phoenix | |
 There are plenty of words to describe Phoenix. Dusty. Sunlit. Sprawling. Somehow, “green” doesn’t make the list. Artists Lindsay Palmer and Rebekeh Brems might disagree. Their joint exhibit “The G R E E N B E L T: a photographic collaboration” features large-scale... More >> |

| Jason Koster's "Devil Claw" eye lounge | Every week Friday, Saturday from Fri., June 20 until Sat., July 12 | Central Phoenix | |
 The new iPhone drops and has the Internet going nuts like Paul Wall. Like the bling-mouthed Southern spitter, you feel compelled to stunt and cop the two-year AT&T contract just to keep up with Twitter.
In a world thirsty for attention and applause, Jason Koster seeks the Zen of one hand... More >> |

| New Works Festival: The Jesus Hickey Phoenix Theatre's Little Theatre |
Fri., July 11, 7:30pm more dates/times |
Central Phoenix | |
 Most big cities have summer stock of some kind. Phoenix’s post-theater season typically equates to a handful of remounts and three months of dinner theater. For the past decade, one of the few bright spots has been Phoenix Theatre’s New Works Festival, a monthlong showcase of original... More >> |

| Mark Mothersbaugh’s “Beautiful Mutants” Perihelion Arts |
Sat., July 5, 1:30pm-7:00pm more dates/times |
Central Phoenix | |
 Mark Mothersbaugh lives a symmetrical life of wild extremes.
Consider:

| Night Golf Encanto Golf Course | Sat., July 19, 7:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 Whacking little white balls around delicately manicured lawns has long been a staple of outdoor activity around town. However, there’s always been one teensy-weensy problem with the whole setup, and it’s spelled s-u-m-m-e-r. There’s nothing quite like dripping sweat so profusely... More >> |

| Sugar Tuesdays feat. DJ Kaydee, DJ M2, & more PHX Nightclub | Every week Tuesday, 9:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 With House M.D., American Idol, and Dancing With the Stars on hiatus until the fall, your Tuesday nights have pretty much been free . . . and filled with boredom.

| Neil Gillingham's "Henry" five15 Gallery |
Every week Friday from Fri., July 4 until Fri., July 25, 5:00pm-9:00pm 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 >> |

| "Gardians of the Camargue: The French Buckaroo Tradition" Burton Barr Central Library | Daily from Fri., May 9 until Thu., July 31 | Central Phoenix | |
 Think “cowboy” and y’all will most likely imagine vast expanses of the old American West. But as long ago as the first nomads got footsore and became farmers, human, horse, and bull forged a triumvirate that emerged around the world. For example, the Camargue region of France is... More >> |

| “The Grid II: Documenting Phoenix Through the Lens” Trunk Space |
Fri., July 18, 6:00pm-9:00pm more dates/times |
Central Phoenix | |
 As most people either love Phoenix or loathe it, so it is with Phoenix’s gridlike nature. Oh, sure, there are a couple of roads that shamble drunkenly outside the lines – Galvin Parkway and the Squaw Peak Parkway, or whatever it’s now politically correctly called – but for... 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.

| Conspire’s Handmade Art Market Conspire | Third Saturday of every month, 11:00am-3:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 Think of all those scientists who wear tube socks, own the complete Babylon 5 series on DVD, and scream out the Pythagorean theorem when they bust their load. We’re afraid that if they don’t find some creative outlet, they’re doomed for some wicked shit. Don’t believe us?... 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 >> |
