This ambidextrous farce features a play within a play that follows the onstage and backstage antics of a fifth-rate acting troupe touring in a new, horribly-written sex farce called Nothing On. Starting backstage at dress rehearsal, nothing seems to be going right, and with each production, there’s a new disaster that is more hilarious than the previous. Full of flubbed lines and false entrances you’ve got to see it.

Producing musical theatre has always been the “norm” at the Arizona Broadway Theatre, located in Peoria; however, this summer they’ve changed things up a bit. For the first time in its five-year history, ABT has mounted a play (or non-musical) – the rib-tickling comedy Lend Me a Tenor, which will run in repertory with the hit-musical I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.

ABT’s Executive Producer, Kiel Klaphake, and his wife, Cassandra (ABT’s Artistic Producer) have wanted to produce more than just musicals here in the Valley. “There are some great (non-musical) shows out there that we feel audiences would want to see,” Kiel stated. “As we discuss which shows will be on the docket for our upcoming seasons, we take into account that. As the only professional theatre in the West Valley, we feel we have a duty not only to entertain, but also to educate our patrons on the wealth of shows that are out there,” Cassandra added. “By adding shows like Lend Me A Tenor and I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, we hope we can encourage people to visit our theatre and share in something new.” Behind the Scenes Last season, ABT ran two shows in repertory – Forever Plaid and The Taffetas. Both productions were similar in style, so both used the same set with slight differences in the staircase configuration and wall units; to change from one set to the other took about fifteen to twenty minutes. This season, because Tenor and I Love You are so different, each set had to be built individually and in such a way that they both could be rolled off the stage in sections and replaced with the other set. “There is nothing on either set that resembles or is even used from one show to the other,” remarked Dori Brown, the scenic designer for both productions. “The only thing these two shows share is the stage.” The I Love You set is made of steel and is welded together to create a more urban/industrial feel. A huge wall of lights upstage of (behind) the set helps to isolate scenes making them more intimate, ideal for a production that has only four performers. August 19th, 2010 - August 25th, 2010

Lend Me A Tenor is set in the 1930s and takes place in a hotel room. “The challenge here,” mentioned Dori, “was that the play takes place in two rooms, mostly at the same time. Because we can’t build a full wall down the center of the stage, we created the illusion of one being there with a door frame and back-to-back furniture pieces – one in the main room, the other in the bedroom. Right now it’s taking the technical crew about an hour and a half to make the switch from one show to the other,” Brown concluded. About the Directors

Lend Me A Tenor is the story of the greatest tenor of his generation, Tito Merelli, who is scheduled to appear for one night only in Otello. Through a hilarious series of mishaps, Tito is given a double dose of tranquilizers and passes out. Presumed dead, the general manager persuades his assistant to go on in Tito’s place. In the director’s seat for ABT’s first play is Kiel Klaphake. “This is the third show that I have had the opportunity to direct here at the theatre. When you start a company –any company – it’s hard to think of anything other than the business side of things. So, now it feels good to be able to get out from behind the desk and stretch my artistic legs,” Kiel said. Prior to Lend Me A Tenor, Kiel also directed ABT’s productions of Cabaret and Gypsy. He has also starred on the ABT stage as Frank Butler in Annie Get Your Gun and Erik/Phantom in Phantom. I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change is directed, choreographed and music directed by ABT’s Artistic Associate and resident choreographer, Kurtis W. Overby. “Because of the cast size of I Love You (four actors), it was just easier for me to do the whole thing,” said Kurtis. “Usually when we do musicals, there are three different people working on one vision and sometimes that can get a little difficult. Don’t get me wrong, I love collaborating with other

directors and musical directors, but sometimes it’s nice to be able to be in charge of everything. Sometimes it’s just easier,” Kurtis concluded. Kurtis first came to ABT during its inaugural season and has performed in a total of eight shows, including Cabaret, La Cage aux Folles and Pump Boys and Dinettes, which he also music directed. Other ABT directing credits include Cats and The Taffetas. He is also responsible for choreographing every show in ABT’s fourth and fifth seasons – a total of 15 shows in a little over a year. For those shows, Kurtis has been nominated for six ariZoni Theatre Awards of Excellence in the professional theatre category.

Nick@ Night By Nick Connell LEND ME A TENOR

At Arizona Broadway Theatre in Peoria.

Anyone want fun with a capital T ? Then look no further than LEND ME A TENOR at the Arizona Broadway Theatre where a wild and unpredictable comedy has hit the stage with more laughs than a sitcom soundtrack! Leave it to director Kiel Klaphake to dust off this comedy by Ken Ludwig and make it fresh and funny. This play uses it all- plot twists, mistaken identities, innuendoes, and more entrances and exits than a department store on Saturday! Set in 1934, this comedy revolves around the Italiansas in Tito Merilli-a world famous opera star about to perform Othello in Cleveland for the local opera company. But Tito, played delicately and boisterously by Roy Hunt, makes his grand arrival with his Italian wife, played by fiery Morgan Springer, comes up sick and then dead? It’s off to the comedic races from there as Henry Saunders, the opera GM, played by the charming and delusional James Rio, must recast Tito, blackface and all, or lose everything! His prayers are heard as his hilarious and incompetent assistant Max, played wonderfully by Michael Wolter, steps in to take on the role of Othello. The rest is comedic history-as Max impersonates Tito, Maggie his fling obsessed girlfriend, played by the flirty and flighty Maris Fernandez-falls for Tito, I mean Max; who is seduced by Diana, played by the sexy and sentimental Morgan Springer, who is in love with Tito, who is stalked by Julia, played perfectly by Carolyn McPhee, who is-well, hold on this comedy is a great ride. Throw in the lovable Bell Hop, played by David Errigo, Jr. and the Champaign toast is waiting for a delightful comedy brawl you won’t want to miss. Through September 26th. Tickets 623-7768400 or AzBroadwayTheatre.com. FISH TANK ENSENMBLE at MIM Musical Theater in Phoenix There was a thunderous excitement playing at the MIM Musical Theatre on Saturday night as the inspiring and unique music of FISHTANK ENSEMBLE rumbled through an almost two hour show-complete with musical saw and vocal renditions straight from Romania and beyond. Led by the charismatic and lovely Ursala Knudson, FISHTANK has made a mark on audiences across the country, adding Phoenix to the list. There was spontaneous applause and cheering all night as this four piece ensemble sped through various ethnic creations with Roma roots. Wild Serbian and Gypsy anthems, flamenco, French hot jazz, and their own quirky and funny original tunes, FISHTANK lifted the spirits with hand clapping rhythms and instrumental solos. Kudos to violinist Fabrice Martinez, guitarist Doug “Douge” Smolens, and bassist extraordinaire Djordje Stijepovic, who charmed the Phoenix audience with songs from their new album, WOMAN IN SIN. Featuring Ursala and her Gypsy banjo song “After You’ve Gone”, the haunting “Woman in Sin”, the fast and furious “Espagnolette”, a Gypsy Johnny Cash ballad “Djordje’s Rachenitza”, and the gypsy volcano song “Opa Opa”. If you didn’t get a ticket to this amazing musical exploration (it was sold out), you can still pick up their cd at the MIM musical store. They would be extremely happy you could enjoy their musical creativityfrom their hearts to yours. BREAK A LEG!

The set has been restored for perfect picture and pure digital sound and will include more than two hours of neverbefore-seen bonus features.

The ‘Saw’ movie franchise is the most financially successful horror series of all time, beating out ‘Friday the 13th’, ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’, ‘Halloween’, and ‘Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ movies.

Now Playing! The Concert

By Randy Montgomery The tagline from The Weinstein Company and director Radu Mihaileanus’ The Concert is “An Uplifting Comedy About a True Band of Misfits.” Critics and audiences have praised the film. The premise: a once famous director of the Bolshoi Orchestra is now working as a facility cleaner and has been refused to be reinstated to his former glory. To get revenge, he rounds up his old musician friends and goes to Paris pretending they are an official orchestra.

Best Worst Movie is the “Best” About the “Worst” By Randy Montgomery

The 1990 horror flick Troll 2 has been labeled “one the worst films ever made.” The film’s cast of unknown actors agree. Troll 2 is about an innocent family that gets stuck in a small town of vegetarian goblins that turn humans into plants. It’s not scary at all, rather quite hilarious (although it wasn’t supposed to be). Over the years, this odd-ball piece of cinema has grown a cult-like following of devoted fans, while the actors have distanced themselves from it. Troll 2’s young star Michael Stephenson has made a documentary that pokes fun at this crazy film, tries to make sense of fan reaction and follows up with the cast, many of whom have disappeared into oblivion. Funny, fascinating and an excellent character study, Stephenson’s Best Worst Movie bucks the reaction of its subject and is actually one of the best documentaries of the year. Best Worst Movie and Troll 2 are playing back to back exclusively at MADCAP Theatres in Tempe. Seem them both! Grade: A-

Atlantis carried a set of IMAX 3-D cameras to document Hubble’s last service call. There’s more on-line at www.ScreenScene. org

By Randy Montgomery

‘The Switch’

By Joseph J. Airdo In “The Switch,” Jennifer Aniston portrays a single woman named Kassie who decides to have a baby by artificial insemination. However, when Wally (Jason Bateman) spills Kassie’s preferred donor’s sperm and replaces it with his own, he does not realize the consequences of such an act until meeting Kassie’s strangely familiar son seven years later.

What If…

Faith-based movies have done well in theatres lately. Sony’s Fireproof saw a respectable box office, as did To Save a Life this year. These are never big blockbusters, but typically make back their budget and then some. The latest; What If… stars Kevin Sorbo (Hercules) as a successful businessman who left his girlfriend and ministry years ago for his career. Along comes “Mike the Angel” (John Ratzenberger, Cheers) prompting him to reevaluate life and his religious calling. What If… is playing at select AMC and Harkins Theatres around the Valley; one of the first metro areas to platform this indie. Wonder what movies we movie reviewers look forward to in August 2010?

For fans of summer action movies, a dash of “Salt” definitely doesn’t hurt. There’s no question of what the film is meant to be, even if you’ve seen only the slightest snippet of any ad for it: a very physical thriller for Angelina Jolie. And there’s also no question she’s up to the task, thanks to several of her previous career choices. Specifically, those would be the “Lara Croft” adventures, “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” and – very particularly – “Wanted,” which absolutely reveled in putting her through the sort of

pulse-pounding stunt work that “Salt” is designed for. The story is pretty much a long chase, with Jolie playing the pursued as Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent suspected of double-dipping and also working for the Russians. The doubt begins when a defector names her, and before you can say “Anna Chapman” (to invoke a real-life case of recent vintage), Salt is on the run. Her efforts to remain free and to clear herself involve a wild cat-and-mouse game on the highways of Washington, D.C., early on. (That’s actually Albany, N.Y., doubling for the nation’s capital.) From there, it’s on to New York and various disguises as Salt uses her expertise to keep herself out of her would-be interrogators’ hands. Good actors such as Liev Schreiber and Chiwetel Ejiofor play former colleagues turned enemies, as they engineer the capture of Salt.

The candy-apple red polyester carpet. Bright lights. A mob of photographers. Celebrities. This is the stuff Jonathan Cheban and business partner Simon Huck live for. Audiences will get to see the duo from the public relations firm Command PR sweet-talk celebs and organize star-studded events in their new reality show, “The Spin Crowd,” premiering Sunday, Aug. 22, on E! Entertainment Television. When Cheban began Command PR in New York 11 years ago, he never imagined opening a second office across the country. “In L.A. it’s celeb heaven. For the kind of PR we do, this is the place where we need to be. Especially right now,” he says.

“THE BACK-UP PLAN”

Also known as “The Complete Sixth Season,” this concluding round of the ABC drama series – which earned 12 current Emmy nominations – resolves a number of questions posed throughout the show’s run. There should be considerable satisfaction for “Lost” devotees in how the program wraps up in an extended-length finale; Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly and Terry O’Quinn are among those on hand to see their characters out. A “Complete Collection” set also is available. ››› (Not rated: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray) “THE SIMPSONS: THE COMPLETE THIRTEENTH SEASON” The saga of Springfield continues in the latest year of the animated Fox sitcom to hit video. It’s easy to identify the set, since it’s packaged in the shape and image of series character Ralph Wiggum’s head. Of course, there’s a “Treehouse of Horror” entry, but one of the funniest episodes cleverly sends up the movie “Blame It on Rio.” Paul Newman, Reese Witherspoon, Pierce Brosnan, Richard Gere and music’s R.E.M. are among the guest voices.››› (Not rated: AS, P) (Also available on Blu-ray) “DORIAN GRAY”

If timing is everything, Jennifer Lopez’s character doesn’t have an especially great sense of it in this attempted comedy. The New Yorker has all but given up on romance, but she holds onto her desire to be a parent, leading her to consider artificial insemination. On the very day of the procedure, she encounters the possible man of her dreams (Alex O’Loughlin, the star of this fall’s CBS reboot of “Hawaii Five-0”).

Colin Firth, Rebecca Hall (“Vicky Cristina Barcelona”), Ben Chaplin, Caroline Goodall (“Schindler’s List”) and Maryam d’Abo (“The Living Daylights”) also are featured in the tale, which still involves a painting that reveals the shocking truth about Gray.

If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times – 1333 B.C. was a simpler time. When King Tut took the throne of Egypt, the world was an unspoiled oasis full of wondrous possibilities. All these years later the best civilization can muster is sitting on a couch Wednesday nights watching “Chasing Mummies” on History. And while the boy king rests safely under glass, it turns out that there are a lot of other mummies waiting for their 15 minutes of fame. Luckily, world-renowned archaeologist and Egyptologist Dr. Zahi Hawass is good with a shovel and won’t rest

If we’ve learned anything from obsessively watching this series, it’s that Cairo and its surrounding desert are dusty, dirty places infinitely less hospitable than Vegas on a Tuesday.

Organic Advantages Better Nutrition - Organic food helps your body fight off infections and maintain balance by being full of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. No Toxins - No pesticides means a lower risk of cancer, birth defects, illness and a host of other maladies. Tastes Better - Those who regularly dine organic will tell you the food has more flavor, fruits are sweeter, etc. Environment - The lack of toxic chemicals used in organic farming means you won’t be eating the chemicals in your groundwater or your next crop rotation. Variety - In addition to fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds, meat, eggs, dairy items, and baby foods, it’s possible to buy organic pasta sauces, salsa, fruit juice, soup, cereal, ice cream, peanut butter, tea, coffee, frozen dinners, chocolate, popcorn, snack food, beer and other beverages, to name just a few options available.

BEER! “Welcome back students”

Look for those signs all over Tempe as the annual influx for college students to Arizona State has been taking place all week. The first few days are always alot of fun…renewing friendships, meeting new people and the inevitable discussions about what everybody did this Summer. But nobody ever thinks to ask Tempe what it did over the Summer. This year they should, because what Tempe did over the summer was upgrade their beer scene. Granted, there has always been a few places to get good beer in town, but returning students (21 and older only please) should find alot more choices than ever before. The biggest change in the area is not coming from one of the Tempe establishments, but rather from a new selection in town. Long time Chandler favorite SanTan Brewing has contracted with a local wholesaler and is now being distributed throughout the state. Tempe is rapidly embracing this local brewery and handles are sprouting up everywhere. Expect to see plenty of Devil’s Ale, Epicenter Amber, HopShock IPA

August 19th, 2010 - August 25th, 2010

and Hefeweizen around town. And now that they are starting to can their award winning beers, look for them in package stores as well starting September 1st. But what about the local watering holes? No problem. Yucca Tap Room has added a ton of craft selections including beers from Bell’s, Anderson Valley, Breckenridge, SKA and Alaskan. At the relatively new Taste

of Tops (located next to Tops Liquors), you can find an ever-changing selection of tap handles that have recently included a 2007 vintage Great Divide Old Ruffian among its selections. Taste of Tops offers an intimate bar area and a first class bottle selection to go along with its draft rotation. The bar opens at 3:00 PM every day, so plan your visit to the package store to include a pint or two next door. Expect to see even more specialty releases at this location as it continues to gain more and more popularity.

New Belgium Brewing has been an Arizona staple for quite some time, so it comes as no surprise that their flagship Fat Tire is available all over Tempe. Of course three of the busiest bars in town have it available. So when you need your fix of Fat Tire, stop in at Casey Moores, Barney’s Boathouse or San Felipe’s for a little of that amber elixir. Likewise, another popular brewery, Pyramid, can be found throughout the town. Their Haywire Hefeweizen has caught on and is popping up in a large variety of locations. You can also find their funloving brewery representatives out on the town frequently with promotions,

give-aways and other activities. Nitrogen beers are gaining many new fans. Up until about a year ago, about the only version of this creamy and smooth method of serving draft beer you could find was the omnipresent Guinness. You can still find plenty of that, but something interesting is happening. The folks at Left Hand Brewing brought the nitrogen edition of their Milk Stout to Phoenix and the silky, slightly sweeter taste has proven to be a hit. Served on nitrogen, Milk Stout takes on a whole Continued on Page 25...

Bison Witches has always been a favorite eating spot for locals, and they have always been known for a great beer selection. Breckenridge Brewing and Big Sky are a couple of beers you can always find available to match up with their first class sandwiches. Horse and Hound, and Devil’s Advocate have added more craft beer to their lineup, the former being one of the first bars to jump on the SanTan Brewing bandwagon. And if you’re making it down to Horse and Hound, make sure you check out

Boulders on Broadway. These folks have been longtime supporters of great craft beer and now you can find offerings from Bell’s, New Belgium, Pyramid, Big Sky, SKA, Oskar Blues, and another local brewer, Sun Up at this location. Boulders is also the place to go for fun and games as brewery reps love to host events here. If it’s date night and something a

little more upscale is your choice, how about La Bocca Urban Pizzeria? The soft setting and great food is enhanced by a couple of outstanding

new persona. It quenches the thirst, provides a mouth-feel that is second to none, and even mixes better with other beers and ciders to provide blended drinks that impress. Tavern on Mill was the first Tempe location to adopt this brand and it has proven to be a workhorse for them. Expect to find it in many other places soon.

Dine In • Take Out • Delivery P O Full Menu ‘til 2AM CH D Monday - Sunday AN Bar Open at 7am Mon-Sat K WO beer choices. Nothing goes down better in Tempe weather than a Bell’s Oberon, but the hidden treasure here is Tripel Karmeliet. This Belgian Tripel is flavorful yet delicate and pairs incredibly well with just about any style of food. House of Tricks carries bottles of another incredible food beer, Saison Dupont. So whether it’s Mill Cue Club for Devil’s Ale, Stray Cats for Dale’s Pale Ale or SKA True Blonde, Picazzo’s for yet another local beer, Sonoran Burning Bird, or for the organic beer selections at Pita Jungle…or for any of the numerous other great craft beers available in Tempe, make sure that when you are going out, you treat yourself right and order something a little special. There are well over sixty bars in town that carry craft beer and you owe it to yourself. You also owe it to yourself to drop that 8:00 AM lab…that never works out well.

Eight years ago, the seldom-heard-from developer Illusion Softworks, now known as 2K Czech, created “Mafia,” a third-person action/adventure title that garnered praise from critics. With its highly detailed city and many modes of era-specific transportation, the game brought players deep inside the world of organized crime and eventually left them begging for more. Well, the begging has finally paid off, and 2K Czech is ready to deliver another installment of crime-based carnage with the eagerly anticipated “Mafia II” for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and personal computer. Vito Scaletta is a young, tough-as-nails Italian-American who has only known poverty. Being forced to witness his father struggle to make ends meet has only driven him closer to the unscrupulous but highly profitable ways of the Mafia. Vito’s life of robbery and car theft has led him deeper and deeper into the world of organized crime, where he and his friend, Joe Barbaro, long to climb the ladder of the underworld and eventually become “made men.”

Mat Latos hasn’t held back this season, not on the mound for the San Diego Padres as the leader of the majors’ best pitching staff. Off the mound is another story. Call it “Sneeze-gate,” if you will. Latos landed on the disabled list last month with a strain to his left side suffered when, of all things, he tried to hold back a sneeze. As it was (or wasn’t), the stifled sneeze occurred at just the right time – and thus was speculated by some to be simply an excuse – because of the Padres’ intent on limiting Latos’ innings this season, his first full one in the big leagues. After a couple of weeks of rest, the 22-year-old righthander didn’t miss a beat in his next start, allowing two runs and striking out seven in six innings to win his 11th game, good for fifth in the National League. Entering August, Latos also ranked sixth with a 2.45 ERA, hadn’t lost since June 4 (six straight wins), and most impressively had a WHIP of 0.99 – combined walks and hits per innings pitched – that led the NL and was second in the majors. Now that’s stifling opposing offenses.

FULL NAME: Mathew A. Latos BIRTHPLACE: Alexandria, Va. BIRTH DATE: Dec. 9, 1987

ROAD TO STARDOM: Latos was drafted in 2006 out of Broward Community College in Florida. He signed with the Padres in 2007, quickly

5 p.m. on A ESPN A dramatic two-lap shootout made David Ragan a winner at last year’s Food City 250. Ragan, who led the final 56 laps, managed to hold off Roush Fenway teammate Carl Edwards on the .533-mile oval at Tennessee’s Bristol Motor Speedway, pinning him behind a lapped car to win his second Nationwide race of 2009. Ragan has moved on full time to Sprint Cup, so a new champion will emerge from a field that includes Edwards, Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski and others.

No, not Brett Favre, but Kurt Warner, whose former team, the Arizona Cardinals, take on the Tennessee Titans tonight in Nashville in preseason action. The Cards hope Matt Leinart, his presumptive successor, can avoid the injuries that curtailed his previous starting stints. For the Titans, Vince Young seems on the verge of fulfilling his considerable potential after a breakthrough 2009.

Eric Lindell

JAZZ!

Tuesday, Aug 24, 8pm Rhythm Room Lindell came to national prominence after relocating to New Orleans, and has grown in popularity from being a local/ regional New Orleans-based artist to tour nationally and internationally. Eric’s music has been described by USA Today as “pumping soul into funk, blue and roots-rock.” (April 23, 2009). The Chicago Sun-Times called Lindell “a tremendous raw talent…with a fully realized musical vision.” (January 20, 2008). The Los Angeles Daily News says “Lindell serves up bluesy blue-eyed soul smothered with a big heap of New Orleans funk…The shuffling interplay of electric guitars, percolating organ and Creole horns never fails to make you feel like dancing all the way down Canal Street.” (January 27, 2008)

Fashion 4 A Cause Sat Aug 21st

Events are always a good time aren’t they? Especially when there is a lineup of one cool thing after the next to keep you entertained. How about we start this purple and orange themed event off with a fashion runway show from local designers featuring threads from Bobby Fresh, Style Noel, and Jadoir, all to the sounds of DJ Klassic. Then we can throw in live performances from artists you should keep your eye on; D’Aaron Anthony, Go Mode Music and Geetha Fairwood. Oh and what was that? The cash I throw down is NOT going straight to club owners but to a good cause?! The non-profit you are contributing to is Athletes 4 Awareness; this group focuses on educating society on topics of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and healthy living. Their mission is to make sure we are all here and healthy for our kids and grandkids. Aside from entertainment, the event will feature local hairstylists, raffles and other vendors. Doors open at 4pm and continue forward till 2am at the Wyndham Hotel. Tickets are $15 or $20 at the door. www.dynastyinkorporated. com or call 602.330.8544

The Wellness Dinner Fri Aug 20th

places that meet these standards, I ran into Cafe Forte, which lives by the saying “Enjoy Life One Bite at a Time.” This bistro and wine bar dedicates themselves to fresh, organic, free-range produce and ingredients all combined into a variety of delicious dishes. The event they are hosting goes hand-in-hand with their motif. Guest speaker Aminda Courtwright, is the founder of ARCreated, which focuses on wellness, mentoring, and basically finding your state of happiness. Aminda will be having a discussion about issues that face us every day and the solutions that follow. While you open up your mind to new insight, you will enjoy a fantastic 3 course meal including Vegan options and a complimentary glass of wine. Dinner is at 5:30pm so come and let more “positive” into your life. $35/ person. www.cafeforte.com www. arcreated.com

My favorite restaurants and cafes are ones where I feel good about what I am eating. There are no processed ingredients, nothing that at one point I am sure was powdered, and no guilt; just pure food to sustain your mind and your body. In my search to find Got a hot event? Grand opening? Cool new promotion? Undiscovered gem? Please write to Maria at Nightowl@azweeklymagazine.com to possibly be featured here each week. Please include pictures when possible.

THE BEST TEQUILA BARS! Sponsored by Cruz Tequila 38

TEQUILA MYTHOLOGY MYTH: Tequila and Mezcal are hallucinogenic FACT: This myth probably stems from the similarity between the words “Mezcal” and “mescaline,” Mescaline is an alkaloid that produces hallucinations and is found organically in the peyote, a variety of cactus. While drinking too much Tequila might seem to cause hallucinations to some people, alcohol is the sole intoxicant in Tequila.

MARTINI

Best Martini Bars Directory

(on why she called everyone “darling”) “Because all my life I’ve been terrible at remembering people’s names. Once I introduced a friend of mine as ‘Martini’. Her name was actually ‘Olive’.” Tallulah Bankhead

“I dropped what I was carrying. I went straight to the alcohol section and got myself a bottle of vodka, a bottle of vermouth and went back and made myself a Martini...or two.” Daniel Craig

GOO GOO DOLLS TO RELEASE NEW STUDIO ALBUM

‘Something For The Rest of Us’ August 31st 2010 One of rock’s most beloved and enduring bands, Goo Goo Dolls, have announced that they will release their ninth studio album, Something For The Rest Of Us, on August 31st, 2010. The album features the band’s new single, “Home”, which is already being embraced at radio. The album was produced by Tim Palmer (U2, Pearl Jam, David Bowie) with additional production by Butch Vig (Green Day, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, etc.) John Fields (Paul Westerberg, Jimmy Eat World) and the Goo Goo Dolls.

MESA ARTS CENTER SEASON KICK-OFF PARTY Free September 10th and 11th

Experience the rhythms, the beats, the sights and the theatrics of the Mesa Arts Center at the season kick-off on September 10 and 11. The weekend is free and fun for the whole family. On Friday, September 10, from 6-10 p.m. Mesa Contemporary Arts debuts its fall exhibitions, featuring contemporary American Indian artists in all the galleries. Transcending Traditions, a solo exhibition by Mario Martinez, and an installation by James Luna will be showcased. There will be live entertainment, artist demonstrations, shopping, food, and performances in the theaters by the founding resident companies and Sister Cities. The festivities continue through Saturday, September 11, from 5-7:30 p.m. with entertainment and shopping, leading up to a special ticketed performance by Jana Mashonee $28. The eight-time Native American Music Award winning singer/songwriter celebrates her American Indian roots with her powerful voice and piano skills.

The result showcases more of the well-crafted songs and timeless lyrics that have been such an integral part of the Goo Goo Dolls’ continuing success. Written and recorded over the past couple of years, Something For The Rest Of Us delivers another dose of emotionally-charged, well-crafted rock songs such as “Sweetest Lie,” “One Night,” and “Soldier.” With his songwriting, Rzeznik confronts some of the issues that have become part of many people’s everyday lives. “I wanted some of the material on this album to address the disillusionment of the difficult period we live in; I wanted to give a voice to the emotional uncertainty that accompanies hard times. “So many people are struggling to keep it together through tough economic conditions and two wars that seem to have no end in sight. The ones who bear the brunt of these burdens are everyday people. That’s who I want to speak to.” The new studio album is the follow up to 2006’s Let Love In, which marked the Goo Goo Dolls’ 20th anniversary as a band. The album spawned several Top 10 singles, including “Better Days,” “Stay With You,” and the title track, which gave them their recordbreaking twelfth Top 10 hit. Their thirteenth, “Before It’s Too Late,” appeared on the blockbuster Transformers soundtrack. Goo Goo Dolls have racked up four Grammy nominations and sold more than 10 million albums.

Kanye West Quits Swearing Kanye West has stopped swearing in public in a bid to become a perfect gentleman. The ‘Power’ rapper - famed for gatecrashing the stages of numerous award shows, most notably at last year’s MTV Video Music Awards when he grabbed a microphone off ‘Best Female Video’ winner Taylor Swift to launch into a tirade - says he’s now in a positive frame of mind and has put his former persona behind him. Speaking during an interview on US radio station Power 105.1 Kanye said: “That’s the Rosewood mentality, like affluence, like not cursing out in public, pulling out chairs for your lady, opening up doors. That’s where I’m at.” He added his present worldview is so positive it’s helping him produce the best raps of his career and despite the title of his fifth album being ‘Dark Twisted Fantasy’ he is not in a “dark place”. Kanye, 33, added: “It’s ill because I’m at this really good emotional, great place in my life, and they’re always saying in hip-hop that you have to be in a dark place to make great hip-hop. I feel like I rap better than I’ve ever rapped at this point. I’m writing raps

TO DO LIST:

and I don’t even realise how positive they are. They just sound like regular good negative raps.” Kanye releases ‘Dark Twisted Fantasy’ in November.

Featureless Face If visitors to the Chiesa Della Santa Church in Bologna, Italy, gaze long enough into a grated opening in the church wall, a strange, dark, almost featureless face will stare back at them. The spooky apparition is the mummified relic of St. Catherine of Bologna. She died in 1475, but after a series of miracles, her body, inexplicably showing little sign of decay, was exhumed by nuns. A few years later, Catherine appeared to one of the nuns in a vision, asking to be placed in the small chapel, sitting upright. So they dressed her in nun’s clothing, placed a golden cross in her hand and sat her in a golden chair, where she has remained for more than 500 years. (pg. 166)

THE BEST NAMES IN CIGARS

PUFF! Lady Jasmine Cigar Diva “Shade Grown” vs. “Sun Grown” These are terms applied to the growing style of wrapper leaves. Shade grown means that tapadas, which are large white fabric sheets, similar to cheesecloth, are suspended 6-10 feet above the entire crop to shield the leaves from direct exposure to sunlight. The opposite of this is to allow the leaves to grow without any protection, directly in the sunlight. The implementation of either procedure will yield completely different wrappers, as the exposure to the sun will affect the amount of sugars and oils the plant produces, the thickness of the veins in the leaf, and ultimately, its color. A common shade grown wrapper color is of a “Claro” color. This has a pale “coffee with cream” color. Many companies will often alternatively refer to this shade as “natural”. A common sun grown wrapper color is “Maduro”, which has a hue of dark or black coffee. It’s science darling… always room to learn.

or the sake of this column, let’s ignore the inherent womenjudged-as-meat aspect of pageants and consider how someone comes to look like Miss Universe. Surely much is genetic, but much is also the result of hard work and flattering fashion. Miss Universe Stefania Fernandez, who passes on

her crown during the live pageant Monday, Aug. 23, on NBC, and Paula Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organization, talk about the pageant’s fashions and this year’s show. The show traditionally opens with women wearing national costumes, which cost up to $20,000. Fifteen

semifinalists, showcasing this year’s heavy metal theme, are likely next (the final lineup was being set at this writing). They’ll wear sexy cocktail dresses by Sherri Hill. “Black will be our basic,” Shugart says. “Some will have nuts and bolts across the bodice, variations on the dress. There will be a lot of grays and hand painting; some will be a dark silver with black beading.” Any woman who has ever built an outfit around a pair of shoes will relate to this: They found a pair of shoes, then decided on outfits. Here, it’s Nina Shoes, with 6-inch heels and a silver platform, Shugart says.
