| Arcadia 4th of July Parade Jokake Road and Calle Tuberia | Fri., July 4, 8:00am | East Phoenix | |
 If Ward and June Cleaver were Phoenicians, they’d live in Arcadia. Wally would be charming the pants off (not literally, of course) the pretty girls at Arcadia High, and Lumpy, Whitey, and the Beav would be bugging the crap out of the firefighters down at Engine Station No. 1. Meanwhile,... More >> |

| Polka Dot Dot Dot, Porches, & Foot Ox Trunk Space | Fri., July 4, 10:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 Polka Dot Dot Dot embodies one of the great rites of American adolescence: the sleepover, a hootenanny of silly goosery and warm friendships. "We're totally in love with each other," coos Jordan Smith, who asked Colleen Johnson and Onyx of Olympia, two Pacific Northwestern singer/songwriters,... 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 >> |

Fri., July 4, 6:00pm-10:00pm 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 >> |

| Arizona Diamondbacks Family Fridays Chase Field |
Fri., July 4 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 >> |

| Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Diego Padres Chase Field |
Fri., July 4, 6:40pm 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. The bastard spawn of a U-boat and a Hummer helped American troops survive beach attacks like Normandy by transporting... More >> |

 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 >> |

 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 >> |

| “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 >> |

| 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.

Fri., July 4, 6:00pm-12:00am more dates/times |
Central Phoenix | |
 Mark Mothersbaugh lives a symmetrical life of wild extremes.

| "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 >> |

| 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 >> |

 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?

Fri., July 4, 5:00pm-9:00pm 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 >> |
