Sir Terry Pratchett Brings Discworld to Glendale AZ !!!!

2009-07-23T04:31:07Z

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Internationally bestselling, critically-acclaimed
British fantasy author Sir Terry Pratchett will discuss his upcoming
37th Discworld novel, “Unseen Academicals,” during the next free Authors
@ the Teague talk and signing at 1 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 3 in the City
Hall Council Chambers next to Velma Teague Branch Library, 7010 N. 58th Ave.

Over 60 million copies of his books for adults and children have been
sold in 37 languages, and 2008 marked the 25th anniversary of his
long-running and much-beloved satirical Discworld series. Pratchett has
received numerous honors and awards, including the 2001 Carnegie Medal
for an outstanding book for children and young adult readers, a Printz
honor book for young adult literature, several honorary doctorates,
multiple Locus awards for science fiction and fantasy writing, the L.A.
Times Book Prize, and a knighthood.

Recently diagnosed with early-onset PCA, a rare variant of Alzheimer’s
disease, he has become an influential advocate, donating one million
dollars to the Alzheimer’s Research Trust.

Since “Unseen Academicals” will not be released until October, other
Discworld books will be available for purchase and signing.

Because of time constraints and audience size, signing will be limited
to one to two items, signature-only, with no personalization.
Parking will be available in the downtown parking structure at 58th Dr.
and Palmaire Ave.

Pratchett’s appearance is made possible by the North American Discworld
Convention in Tempe on Labor Day weekend. For more information about the
convention, go to www.nadwcon.org.

Seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to travel and
health issues, this event may be subject to change, rescheduling or
cancellation. Call 623-930-3431 to confirm or for more information.

Repo! The Genetic Opera--One Night Only At Chandler Cinemas

2008-11-29T22:49:20Z

You’ve heard about it. You’ve requested it. The buzz has been killing you. And now, it’s our pleasure to announce that REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA is coming to Chandler Cinemas for ONE NIGHT ONLY!

Thursday, December 4th, 10PM SHOW! (IF THIS SELLS OUT THERE WILL BE AN ENCORE MIDNIGHT ENGAGEMENT)

ADVANCE TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW AT https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/49425

This will sell out, do not wait! No comps, passes or discounts. Reserve yours now, they are going fast!

Strictly 17+!

After the success of the first REPO! Road Tour...they are hitting the road again! First stop Phoenix, Arizona! THIS IS THE ONLY AZ TOUR DATE, AS PART OF THIS SPECIAL EXTENDED ROAD TOUR!!! DIRECTOR DARREN BOUSMAN AND COMPOSER/CREATOR TERRANCE ZDUNICH WILL BE AT THE SCREENING!

In the year 2056 – the not so distant future – an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that offers organ transplants… for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by villainous Repo Men.

In a world where surgery addicts are hooked on painkilling drugs and murder is sanctioned by law, a sheltered young girl searches for the cure to her own rare disease as well as information about her family’s mysterious history. After being sucked into the haunting world of GeneCo, she is unable to turn back, as all of her questions will be answered at the wildly anticipated spectacular event: The Genetic Opera.

Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (SAW II, SAW III, SAW IV) and produced by Twisted Pictures and Lionsgate, this futuristic horror rock opera stars Paul Sorvino (GOODFELLAS), Alexa Vega (SPY KIDS), Paris Hilton (HOUSE OF WAX), Anthony Head (TV’s "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), Bill Moseley (THE DEVIL’S REJECTS), Ogre (from the band Skinny Puppy) and world-renowned opera singer Sarah Brightman (Broadway’s "Phantom of the Opera"). By fusing ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW and BLADE RUNNER, this unique production will modernize the "rock opera" genre with original music and rich, dark production design.

This is NOT your parents’ opera… So cool, they can only show it one theatre at a time!

And Chandler Cinemas is the PERFECT place to give it a home in the Valley!

I'm bored here too...let's do something!

2008-03-31T19:15:21Z

To all of you who want to make Phoenix a better place to live, more beautiful to look at, more community minded...or for those of you who hate Phoenix, but are living here anyway...

Let's get together and do something that will make a difference! I've adopted a street downtown, much like the adopt a highway program. I've worked with the city and they've given me Van Buren between 7th St and 7th Ave...right at the heart of downtown.

I realize cleaning up a street and keeping it clean won't solve all of the issues we have in Phoenix, but if that act can inspire others to do other activities to build community and pride in our city...then my mission is truly accomplished!

Please join me and other Phoenicians for our kick off cleaning day on May 3rd! This will be a great way to do something for our community, meet other people interested in making a difference and of course, socialize. If you are interested, please let me know.

If you have crafty ideas to make this day amazing and fun, let me know!

Yoga Stars

2008-02-01T00:41:20Z

Your body is a universe, let me help you to explore it!

I am a yoga instructor who just moved to Phoenix from Seattle. I like to work with people one-on-one and currently have lots of openings for new students. To drum up interest and community, for a limited time I am offering sliding-scale private yoga instruction, Reiki sessions, and small group workshops (I dig the barter system!). I am also creating a schedule of free and low-cost yoga classes in gallery and studio locations throughout downtown and in natural areas surrounding Phoenix. I have some beautiful spaces to work with or I can possibly come to you and help you create space for yoga in your home. Private instruction is a brilliant way to learn a lot quickly and to understand what yoga means to you.

I help you to create energetic openings with yoga postures and infuse these openings with energy healing. I physically support you as you explore the poses and often integrate other interests such as art, music, swimming, running, hiking etc, to create a practice that is perfect for you. This combined with visualization, meditation, breath work, movement and intuitive massage fills your being with an expansive peace and revolutionary change as the energy flows freely throughout your life.
Pictures and more info are available at people.tribe.net/airina

I look forward to working with you,
namaste,
Airin
p.s My first class will be this Saturday at 11:45 at Just Breathe Downtown...www.justbreathewellness.com

Phoenix Faerie Festival Merchant Vendor Apps Revised 10/25

2006-10-27T01:17:18Z

Phx Faerie Festival Merchant App Revised

It was brought to our attention that the Merchant Vendor application was missing some crucial information and a bit difficult to fully understand.

So the application has been revised as of 10/25/06

Food vendors and Merchant vendor apps are now 2 seperate forms.

The Hand Craft only policy has been lifted to include other Retail merchandise which compliments the theme of the event. All merchandise whether hand crafted or retail must still be pre-approved by WGPFF jury staff.

All vendors must carry their own special event liability insurance, and must have an Arizona Privilege Tax ID.

So if you were put off by the complexity of the application previous to 10/25, or felt that your product wasn't appropriate, please take another look and consider being a part of the Phoenix Faerie Festival 2007.

If you have any questions, please ask us

Recent change to the Dryad sculpture artist challenge

2006-09-08T02:43:35Z

Sigh....As persuant to a discussion with my consulting pannel ..."ok, my son"
The following changes have been made with regards to the perameters of sculpture submissions.

Dryad/Ent Art Sculptures must be;

1. *minimum size (4 ft) maximum size (10 ft) <NEW

*NOT sexually graphic (genital areas and female nipples must be cleverly concealed within the artistic construct of the project)

2. The above rule regarding the extent of explicit nudity has been stricken "against my better judgement"

However I reserve the right to exclude anything that is truly extreme and beyond the limits of reasonably good taste.
So please use some judgement.

Play Ball !

Arizona Faerie Festival

2006-08-26T16:46:52Z

We are busy plotting and planning our Faerie Festival celebration here in Arizona.
Easter weekend April 7th & 8th 2007.

Yes, I was actually able to find a superb location in Queencreek just an hour from downtown Phoenix!
Schnepf Farms provides a 40 acre GREEN grass field surrounded on all sides by a mature line of Pine and Cottonwood trees.
I'm really excited!!!! (me, jumping up and down)

Camping will be available "for those with weekend passes" through the farm owners and is seperate from any event ticket fees, however it is very reasonable.

Merchant spots are still available, and we are actively seeking sponsors as well as other service providers.
So feel free to pass the word.

2005-10-07T19:04:54Z

In case you missed the first one, or I didn't post about it (which is highly plausible), there will be another Gothrotica on Saturday, October 15th at the Paper Heart Gallery on 750 NW Grand Ave. I went to the first one a few weeks ago and it was an amazing night- lots of terrific people, and I think the hooka brought everyone together. Be sure to check it out, post if you have any further questions.

Bloody Friday...save First Fridays...wontcha?

2005-08-09T05:43:50Z

Many of you are familiar with First Fridays art walk in Phx. Well recently it has come under attack. At first it seemed like a mere crack down on underage drinking and illegal use of vacant lots and street performance, But unfortunately what it has become is a full out assault and attempt to end the Phx arts district by the government. If you live in AZ please contact your government officials and let them know we do not support this outlandish and blatant attack on out arts. Below is more on what the arts district is dubbing "Bloody Friday"
We cannot let this type of harassment go by unnoticed.
GiGi-D L'Amour
Party Mistress of the Tucson Underground
First Friday art walk participant and supporter
Forwarded msg from Phx art walk gallery owners...

BLOODY FRIDAY
OK YOU HEARD AUGUST'S FIRST FRIDAY WAS GOING TO BE A FRIENDLY "EDUCATIONAL" DRIVE BY POLICE - NONE OF US KNEW IT WAS REALLY A PREEMPTIVE STRIKE, "With a multi-tiered and multi-jurisdictional initiative to eliminate the use of our buildings as art spaces." (Roosevelt Row e-notice)

TV, Radio, AP wire service, even on the cover of the Arizona Republic gave heads-up the Thursday before. re: Phoenix Police will "educate" Artlink's Aug 5 First Friday's patrons and visitors (no parking, under-age drinking, vendors blocking sidewalk, pedistrian traffic safety (Artlink's First Friday attracts between 10,000 to 15,000 artwalker's visiting over 80 art spaces, spread out between Roosevelt Row's 7th Street to Grandevelt's 15th Avenue, Grand Avenue from 7th to 16th Ave.

We were expecting to have a pleasant follow-up meeting with police, to discuss the results from Aug 5 First Friday police "educational" drive-by's and together we were looking at working together to develop a long-range strategy for a successful outcome of downtown's "Strategic Vision": we were told, police "don't want to kill First Friday, it's a needed component for downtown vitality."

THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW!
OK we're responsible citizens, creative business types, and family-friendly folks - we are downtown, we live and breath downtown, we have staked our livelihoods on our entrepreneurial vision to evolve a livelihood from our creative passions... we've already paid our dues with years of sweat blood and tears. So why can't we stay on the same page, evolved and recorded by Council approved "DOWNTOWN PHOENIX: A STRATEGIC VISION AND BLUEPRINT FOR THE FUTURE (12/14/04)

What shock and awe we experienced Bloody First Friday: we witnessed Downtown Art Galleries assaulted by police-escorted multiple-agency types, each with educational brochures, citation books and notepads, AND BADGES.

The Following are excerpts from Roosevelt Row Gallery Owner, Greg Esser's Sunday Aug 7th e-notice:
On Thursday, August 4, 2005 the police held a press event and stated that their purpose and intent was to monitor underage drinking, open container violations and parking issues related to the event. This was essentially the message that was reported in the local media. The enforcement effort that the City of Phoenix actually launched and that is currently underway is in fact far broader.

Various inspectors and enforcement officials from the City of Phoenix and Maricopa County entered our business regularly throughout the evening each accompanied by armed police officers.

The inspections we received through the course of the evening included:
The Fire Marshall in plain clothes
Maricopa County Health Inspectors (food)
Zoning Enforcement officials (occupancy regulations)
Tax Enforcement officials (privilege and sales tax)
Neighborhood Services (blight violations, various City of Phoenix code violations)

There were others who would not disclose their affiliation when asked directly.

Further, we were officially notified by a City of Phoenix citations investigator from the Development Services Department on Thursday, August 4, 2005 that our use of our building as an art gallery is illegal. Despite the fact that our building has been used as an art gallery for more than thirty years as evidenced by documents submitted to the City of Phoenix, the citations investigator has arbitrarily stated that our continuing use of the building as a gallery is a “change of use.” The “change of use” requires a new Certificate of Occupancy. In order to obtain a new Certificate of Occupancy, a building must meet current city building code which is not possible for our structure given the historic nature of its construction and the size of our lot. Our situation is typical of many of the art studios and venues downtown now being targeted for code enforcement by the City of Phoenix.

The “change of use” citations are a new and questionable tactic being used by the City of Phoenix as part of a multi-tiered and multi-jurisdictional initiative to eliminate the use of our buildings as art spaces.

If you are a registered voter in any of these districts, please let your elected representative know now that this is an important issue that affects not only the arts in downtown but the health and vibrancy of our state’s capitol.

If you know a bureaucrat or manager within the city - or a news reporter - please...Talk To Them; seek out information... who's initiating this crack-down? is there a bigger developer behind this? (call Greg at 515 Gallery, or your Artlink Representative, or reply to this e-mail your interest to help resolve this crisis).

This incredibly blunderous shake-up shatters our confidence in the "comprehensive consensus building" touted by Mayor Gordon our 21st Century 6th largest city, with 2004's Council Approved, "DOWNTOWN PHOENIX: A STRATEGIC VISION AND BLUEPRINT FOR THE FUTURE..." a vision that looks pretty hollow right now. Perhaps we should reconsider our support for next Fall's Bond Election... Remember the Stadium we stopped?

We will continue to provide you with updates and let you know what you can do to help us through this plight and protect the flourishing arts in downtown against this government intrusion and attack.

Anyone else have a not-so-exciting 4th?

2005-07-11T03:06:47Z

I think the older you get, the less exciting this whole holiday becomes...

Even taking my kids to see fireworks was so-so. Has AZ lost it's thrill? Did it ever really HAVE a thrill? LOL!!

Anyway, thought the "bored" would want to chime in... :-)

The Bloody Fetish Prom

When:
Saturday June 04, 2005
at 7:00 PM

Where:
the sets
93 E. Southern
Tempe, AZ 85280
US

N17 bringing on the rock.......

With the help of TNG, this is going to be our 2nd, out of 3 fetish shows we will be throwing a year. You obviously at least heard about the first one, Fetish Revolution 5, but did you go? With a fetish attire required atmosphere this was meant to be a Valentine Kink with all the elegance our fetish community could provide. The Bloody Fetish Prom will not be as exclusively fetish. Oh, we are still going to have our demos and sexy, naughty things running around. However, what fun would it be throwing the same fetish ball 3 times a year? The Bloody Fetish Prom will be a dress to impress event. It's the one show a year that we will be booking real bands instead of mainly DJ's. We are planning on having it at The Sets in Tempe and with all the extra rooms there will be so much extra trouble we can get into! This venue can hold a lot of people!

Help out...Children's Crisis Center

2005-05-01T06:29:56Z

This is sort of an extraneous promotion for someone else's cause. In the event that a musician joins this tribe, please make yourself known if you want to help out this guy who is setting up a benefit concert for the Children's Crisis Center scheduled to occur near the end of May. Here is his e-mail:

"I am looking to put together a benefit for the Children's Crisis Center in the end of May sometime. Basically dead beat parents who can't "take care" of their kids drop them off there and come visit them a month later, take them home eventually, or leave them for a while. Anyway's, it sucks for the kids but I guess its better than sitting with some meth head parents listening to White Lion in some shitbox trailer with no air conditioning in July. they get read stories, play games, and stay in a better environment for a while.

It amazes me that parents do shit like this to their children, but it is what it is. When a kid arrives the first thing the center does is buy them new sneakers, I thought that was pretty cool. I want to help raise some money to help the center get some new toys, clothes, and some extra $$$ for activities.

Any bands interested in getting involved in this message me at

dannynsk@aol.com

Put a smile on a kids face - you'll feel better about all the scum bag shit you do the rest of the year..... trust me!!!!!!"

It's a really good cause, so if you are/know a musician whose talents and schedule would permit participation, by all means, contact this guy.

Get Buzzed...

2005-04-30T08:16:09Z

Counter Culture Cafe

Located at 24th St. and McDowell

Open 24 Hours a Day.

From what I have heard, it's decent coffee...but I prefer Willow House, which is at 3rd St. and McDowell. It's this weird hippy place that sells used books and a cup of coffee for 2 bucks. That's more than I can say for Starbucks.

they were meant to be.
