Silver Screen Scoop! By Joseph J. Airdo Ghost House Pictures and Mandate Pictures are developing a reboot of “The Grudge” horror movie franchise. However, there is no word yet as to whether or not Takashi Shimizu – who directed all of the series’ previous installments both Japanese and American save for 2009’s “The Grudge 3” - will be involved.

“What attracted me to ‘The Debt’ is that it’s a very, very compelling narrative that absolutely insist on being told as a thriller, but at its core its psychological, emotional, and moral complexity, which is totally bound up in the narrative itself. Often I think when you see a ‘genre thriller’, there’s a point Be among the first to get the latest where the thriller has to stop so we understand who the ‘scoop’ from Joseph J.

If you’re (The Debt) going to have a film with the Holocaust as a background Interview by Stan Robinson of the story, it imposes a very particular responsibility on the In a story that is told in both filmmaker, not to use that as a the past and present time and peg to hang an exciting story the events that haunt a former on, you have to take on those Mossad agent (Helen Mirren) themes and deal with them when she returns to Eastern very meticulously, and very Europe to investigate the apparent honorably.

The film is very unusual because it deals with an event, and the aftermath of that event, in the later lives of these people and therefore the story is told from two different perspectives in terms of time. And on top of that, the story is told by two different sets of actors, and on top of that, the chronology of the film is very complex because its moving forward and backwards in time creating a mosaic which eventually illuminates everything that’s gone before so that the full understanding of the story does not land on an audience until its final frame when you return to the same image the movie began with.” – John Madden Read Stan Robinson’s full interview with director John Madden exclusively online at ScreenScene.org and Examiner. com.

Stan: “The intricacy of the story which takes place in two periods of time, both the past and the present, is expertly presented by the sure hand of director John Madden at the helm, guiding two separate sets of actors, and two separate periods time (1940s and present day), for a powerfully engaging film that leaves one breathless as the final sequence unfolds.

into the R-rated adult themed comedy genre, ‘A Good Old Fashioned Orgy’ is tamer than the title suggest yet it does have key moments of insight on male/female relationships with enough of the ‘blue humor’ we’ve come to expect with an R rating with good performances by the well rounded cast.” Grade: C

(R – 95 minutes) Joseph: “‘A Good Old Fashioned Orgy’ is hilariously inappropriate. Its existence alone is enough to leave you in stitches. However, ‘A Good Old Fashioned Orgy’s’ content is significantly less scandalous than its premise, limiting the number of laughs than you might have otherwise expected from a movie with such an unusual title. Still, the amusement of seeing how the perversion plays out and the strength of its ensemble cast are enough to recommend an RSVP.” Grade: C Stan: “With this latest entry

‘Seven Days in Utopia’ After his swing at the big time ends in disaster, a young golfer (Lucas Black) becomes stranded in a Texas town and comes under the tutelage of a wise old rancher (Robert Duvall). (G – 90 minutes)
‘Littlerock’ A brother and sister from Japan come to America to visit the site of an internment camp in the desert. Their car breaks down in Littlerock where they experience local culture and where the sister falls in love. Playing exclusively at Film Bar. (UR – 83 minutes) Randy: “Having been though Littlerock on numerous occasions, I was excited to watch this little indie. A quiet, small piece of indie filmmaking that should remind audiences why they should seek out selections such as this. Sometimes the best movies come in small packages. Unfortunately, this one won’t get wide distribution, but certainly worth a look. A unique story, likeable characters and good acting make’s ‘Littlerock’ a winner.” Grade: B+

In French with English subtitles. Playing exclusively at Harkins Camelview 5. (R – 100 minutes) Joseph: “If Woody Allen had grown up in France, ‘The Names of Love’ is likely a movie he would have made. And, had Allen made it, ‘The Names of Love’ may have actually been good. After all, the odd-couple setup is certainly appealing. However, writer/director Michel Leclerc and co-writer Baya Kasmi fail to ever define what their movie is about thereby crafting little more than a mess of

Easily one of the most exhilarating thrillers of the year, ‘Point Blank’ moves along at a breakneck pace while constantly evolving, leaving the audience on pins and needles every step of the way. While he frequently sacrifices
Joseph: “‘Seven Days in Utopia’ may not hit its audience over the head with a golf club wrapped in religious undertones as much as other faith-based feature films but it certainly hits a hackneyed holein-one. Much of the movie, based on a book written by Dr. David L. Cook, feels very stereotypical, cliché, trite you name it. And if that were not bad enough, the flick’s foreverand-a-day finale is spent on the golf course - home of one of the most boring spectator sports there is nearly nullifying the impact of the charmingly simple scenes that preceded it.” Grade: F Stan: “Not fond of faith-based films for being too ‘preachy’ to the choir or the non-choir as the case may be, ‘Seven Days in Utopia’ supersedes that aspect with just barely enough of a nicely intertwined sports theme with the player/coach

COVER STORY BONDURANT
BONDURANT RACES AHEAD, KEEPS POLE POSITION IN THE VALLEY High Performance Driving Programs Accelerate with Enhanced Leadership Team
The School of High Performance Driving offers a variety of racing, performance driving and driving safety courses that are available to anyone who wants to participate. Bondurant even offers specialized courses in executive protection and military performance driving for career professionals.
Bob Bondurant is best known to auto racing enthusiasts around the world for his championship-racing career. He’s competed in the World GT Championship and won the Le Mans 24 Hours for Carroll Shelby. He’s raced Formula One for Ferrari and he continues to rub elbows with racing elite today.
Building a Legacy
Some of Hollywood’s golden icons might even know him for teaching actor James Garner how to drive for the 1966-hit movie Grand Prix. But here in the Valley, Bondurant is better known as the owner of the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving that has trained more than 350,000 students over the years.

looking for an adventure or to simply brush-up on their driving abilities.
Throughout the past 43 years, Bondurant has created the largest, purpose-built driver training facility in North America that features a 15-turn, 1.6 mile road course, an 8-acre asphalt skills pad for advanced training and more than 200 raceprepared vehicles, sedans and openwheel cars. In 1990, Bondurant opened the School of High Performance Driving in Phoenix, Ariz., that attracts thousands of racing enthusiasts and every-day drivers each year.
September 1st, 2011 - September 7th, 2011
Situated on Firebird Raceway’s 450 acres of excitement on the Gila River Indian Community, the facility has access to three additional race tracks, a watersports lake and three skid pads. Bondurant uses his passion for racing to teach high-performance driving to students ranging from novice drivers to professionals and teenagers to stay-at-home moms who are

Typical Bondurant courses start at $249 and can top $5,999 for multiday instruction. While much of the activity at the Bondurant facility comes from its School of High Performance Driving, its handcrafted SuperKart School has been making waves for more than a decade. The Bondurant SuperKart School, which opened its doors in 1998, was originally designed to reflect the
“Bob’s really built this SuperKart program to be the best of the best,” said Alan Rudolph, general manager of the Bondurant SuperKart School and five-time King of the Streets Champion. “He’s customized the track, picked top-of-the-line karts and made sure anyone who comes out to the track has a great experience.” The SuperKart facility features three outdoor tracks solely dedicated to kart racing, along with its own Bondurant fleet of Arrow shifter karts, TAG karts and Briggs & Stratton Professional Series karts. Those ages 16 and older can drive the karts at the Bondurant track regardless of their experience level. Enhancing Leadership Over the past year, leadership at the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving has developed to a new level of expertise in an effort to improve the facility’s world-class racing programs.
Law’s experience behind the wheel on the track made him a top choice for the job. His knowledge of the sport and successes in both the GrandAm Rolex Sports Car Series and the American Le Mans Series make him the right choice for this position. “Pat and I handpicked Darren from an outstanding line-up of great candidates. He’s the perfect combination of businessman and racing champion. He just flat out ‘gets it,’” added Bondurant. Law said he is excited to be coming home to the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving. “Bob has been so supportive of my racing career for so many years,” said Law. “Even though I have many more things I want to accomplish as a driver, this is a great opportunity for me to give back to the racing community.”

Bondurant married the love of his life, Patricia, who joined the Bondurant team as the track’s president. In that role, she applies her advanced business-savvy knowledge from her life-long experiences of owning several successful companies, including a television station. In addition to a new president, Bondurant also hired Darren Law as the school’s new chief operating officer. Law, who is a championship winning race car driver and former Bondurant instructor, will assist in leading the high performance driving school by developing and implementing strategic management and marketing programs.

Offseason review: After making the playoffs - albeit with a losing record - the Seahawks had much work to do this offseason, most notably on the offensive line. With their first pick, the Hawks took Carpenter to play tackle, despite the feeling among some teams that he’s better suited to guard and not a legitimate No. 1 pick. At No. 2, Moffitt will step right in at guard and likely start. The team drafted for depth in the fourth round with Wright, who also serves as insurance Chad in case David Hawthorne walks after the season. Wide receiver also wasn’t Henne a great need, but Durham’s selection in the fourth round gives the receiver corps a solid route runner with good hands to go with Mike Williams and newly signed Rice. Fifthrounder Sherman, a wide receiver in college, gives the team intriguing size and athleticism at cornerback. And at quarterback, Jackson will be the likely starter with Charlie Whitehurst as the back-up. Page 2

2010 Record: 4-12, last place, AFC East Head Coach: Chan Gailey, second season
Offseason review: After finishing in last place in the AFC East in 2010, the Bills went to work on their defense, going for a value pick in Dareus at No. 1, a clear upgrade for the defensive line. He’ll line up at end in Buffalo’s 3-4 defense. They also added badly needed physicality at linebacker with No. 3 pick Sheppard, but the pass rush still needs to be addressed, despite the belief of some who think Shawne Merriman is still the answer. No. 2 pick Williams should provide a safety net at cornerback if Donte Whitner leaves as a free agent. On the plus side, Ryan Fitzpatrick returns at quarterback after a surprisingly solid season, and so does four-fifths of the offensive line, which will have a second season together.

addressing four needs. The biggest was the interior of the offensive line, where they’re counting on No. 1 pick Pouncey to be the solution. He’ll move over to center after being a guard in college. No. 2 pick Thomas should step right in as a starter at running back alongside free agent signee Bush with veterans Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown unsigned. No. 4 pick Gates will give the receiver corps badly needed speed, and No. 6 pick Charles Clay adds muchneeded athleticism at tight end. The team didn’t draft a quarterback to back up Chad Henne, who is on the final year of his rookie deal, but it did grab Moore as a free agent from the Panthers.

2010 Record: 14-2, first place, AFC East; 0-1 in postseason, lost to Jets in divisional playoff Head Coach: Bill Belichick, 12th season Additions: DL Marcus Stroud, WR Chad Ochocinco, DT Albert Haynesworth, DE Mark Anderson, DE Shaun Ellis, DE Andre Carter, LB Niko Koutouvides Departures: OL Stephen Neal, DB Brandon McGowan, OT Quinn Ojinnaka Key Draft Picks: OT Nate Solder (1), CB Ras-I Dowling (2), RB Shane Vereen (2), RB Stevan Ridley (3), QB Ryan Mallett (3), G/OT Marcus Cannon (5), TE Lee Smith (5)
Offseason review: After again finishing first in the AFC East behind the strong right arm of Tom Brady and then losing at home in the playoffs, the Patriots went out and bolstered the offense in the draft, devoting six of the first seven picks to the “O.” The drafting of Solder at No. 1 gives depth behind veteran LT Matt Light, and Vereen and Ridley should add depth to the running game. The defense, especially the inconsistent pass rush, which put up a pedestrian 36 sacks in 2010, was addressed through free agency, as the team added considerable new blood in Ellis, Carter, Haynesworth, Stroud, Koutouvides and Anderson.

Key Draft Picks: DT Muhammad Wilkerson (1), DT Kenrick Ellis (3), RB Bilal Powell (4), WR Jeremy Kerley (5) Offseason review: After finishing 11-5 and losing in the conference championship once again, the Jets entered this offseason with many needs, mainly because so many veterans remained unsigned. The drafting of Wilkerson addresses a huge need on the defensive line with Ellis’ departure. No. 3 pick Kenrick Ellis should help, but that area still lacks depth. Taylor’s release means the Jets also need an outside linebacker and nickel pass rusher, a role likely to be filled by Long and/or McIntyre. But the biggest headaches may be in the secondary, which lost Trufant and Warren, and depth on the offensive line, which has a developing quarterback in Mark Sanchez to protect.

Grassfed & Organic Goodness at the Phoenix Food Court
By Chef Rachel Albert Over the past five years, the food truck trend has taken off in footfriendly cities from Los Angles to San Francisco and from Portland to New York City. The movement has attracted mainstream and gourmet eaters, chefs, and entrepreneurs, including advocates of fresh, locally grown, and organic food. Thanks to the Phoenix Street Food Coalition,
Phoenix has finally hopped on board with Food Truck Fridays at the Downtown Phoenix Public Market on Central & McKinley (at 14 E. Pierce Street) from 11 am to 1 pm. One of the vendors, Tanya Chakravarty of Sunshine & Spice, takes Mexican-influenced street foods and fills them with Asianinspired options from Teriyaki beef and barbecued pork to coconut curry chicken and sautéed mushrooms served as tacos, burritos, and won tons. She uses only organic chicken, grass fed beef, locally produced pork and tortillas, and local, organic vegetables.
sunshineandspice.com/ Rachel Albert is a natural foods chef, cooking instructor, freelance food and health writer and author of The Ice Dream Cookbook: DairyFree Ice Cream Alternatives with Gluten-Free Cookies, Compotes & Sauces and co-author of the award-winning book, The Garden of Eating: A Produce-Dominated Diet & Cookbook. She leads group and private classes, cooking parties, kitchen coaching sessions, and healthy shopping tours in the Phoenix metro area. Check out her blog: www. TheHealthyCookingCoach.com
Her food is suitable for vegetarians, vegans, omnivores, and people with food allergies and intolerances, including those who must avoid wheat, gluten, dairy, and eggs. (The owner has celiac disease so she’s versed in how to avoid cross contamination.) All entrees are wheat-free and gluten-free if you order them on a corn tortilla or in a rice and veggie bowl. (Those who eat wheat can have breakfast or lunch wrapped burrito-style in a whole wheat tortilla.) Hours of operation: 11 am to 1 pm on Fridays at the Downtown Phoenix Public Market and at Sleepy Dog Brewery on Thursdays from 6 to 10 pm. They’ll be at the Gilbert Farmers Market, off Gilbert Road just South of Guadalupe, starting Saturday, September 10th, from 7 am until noon. To have them come to your office or event, call 602-429-9899. Visit their web site for more information. www.

AS FESTIVAL SEASON NEARS…
As Labor Day approaches and we in the Valley of Fire… Sun… start actually thinking that we may soon be able to brush our teeth with cold water again, something else is happening. We are moving into festival season. The time of year when people can come outside and spend some time enjoying the weather, drinking beer, sampling food etc. We have food festivals, beer festivals, Oktoberfests and more. Most of these have one thing in common…charity. In Arizona, as in most states, if you are going to have a festival where alcohol is served, you typically need to have a charity involved. The applicable permit in Arizona is a Series 15 and only a registered charity can apply for one of those. Without a Series 15 Special Event Permit, a festival organizer must hold the event on the premises of a licensed account and must pay for all beer served. Donations can only be solicited when a Special Event Permit is obtained. Even then some of these events are less about the charity since the state only requires that 25% of the proceeds go to the charity involved…something good to check in to when making a decision where to spend your beer dollars. Considering that a properly run festival with donated beer shouldn’t have total expenses more than 25% of revenue, if a charity only gets 25%, the organizer is pocketing the rest. So today, we’re going to look at a couple of upcoming events that will be big and fun and involve more than just beer.

Follow us on and www.worldclassbeverages.com
First off, this Saturday will be Phoenix Cooks to be held from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the J.W. Marriott at Desert Ridge. This food, wine, spirits and beer event benefits the Phoenix Children’s Hospital and
is an event well worth your time and donation. Better than me explaining it, let’s have the folks from Phoenix Cooks tell you in their own words: “Escape the Labor Day heat and head indoors for the culinary spice of this year’s PhoenixCooks! More than 3,000 Valley food enthusiasts and home-cooks will converge for opportunities tolearn, cook, share, taste, sip, shop and experience the pleasures of the culinary lifestyle. Guestswill enjoy delicacies from more than 50 of the Valley’s best chefs and restaurants. The chef duelsand demonstrations will heat up the four cooking stages hosted by Ferguson, GE Monogram,Electrolux, and SubZeroWolf. Safeway will be bringing the backyard indoors with tailgate favoritesand must-have snacks for this football season. Perfectly chilled cocktails will be masterfully mixedby Grey Goose and Bombay Sapphire mixologists. Local baristas will be warming up the 2ndAnnual Latte Art Throwdown, featuring a Brew Bar with samples from many of Phoenix’s local shops, plus much more! Proceeds benefit Phoenix Children’s Hospital.”
While we are on the subject of Alaskan Brewing, I should remind you that this Juneau based brewery is celebrating their 25th Anniversary this year. Of course, a very special beer is part of that celebration. Named Perseverance, it is a Russian Imperial Stout, so chosen to
But the reason that we are writing about it in the Beer section is the involvement of Alaskan Brewing. They will once again be the sole beer sponsor for the event and, as always, will bring more than just their great beer to the table.

commemorate the Russian influence that is still present throughout the state, and so named to celebrate the Perseverance Mine. From the Alaskan web page: “Brewing in a remote town with no roads leading in or out has never been easy but, like the turn-of-thecentury breweries of Juneau’s Gold Rush who overcame all odds to serve the thirsty miners of the local, and appropriately named, Perseverance Mine, Alaskan’s founders and employees continue to persevere. The connection between brewing and mining in Alaska goes back to when the brewers of early Juneau stored their ales in the dark and cool tunnels of area mines. The Perseverance Mine closed over 60 years ago, but the historic Perseverance Trail is now one Continued on page 42...

of Juneau’s favorite hiking trails and provides a reminder of the founding history and pioneering spirit that carries on at the Alaskan Brewery today.”
Okay, I promised you two events that will be more than just typical beer festivals. The second one is sponsored by the inimitable Beer For Brains Foundation. This group specializes in extreme fun, great beer and great food. Their annual event, now named RAREaffair, will be no
different. If you remember their Epicuriad event, which may have been one of the best foodie events over the past 12 months; as well as last year’s Off Centered Experience, RAREaffair will blow you away. Featuring top restaurants sampling food, three outstanding bands, wines, spirits, and of course rare beers, the event threatens to be the best beer themed event ever held in Arizona. Set your calendar for November 5th at Talking Stick Resort for this one of a kind beer experience. Already commitments for special beers are coming in from breweries all over the country, including several breweries that don’t currently distribute in Arizona. VIP’s will be treated even more special with rarer beers, a full buffet, hand rolled cigars and more.
Talking Stick is doing their part with a reduced room rate so you don’t have to worry about driving home after trying all of the rarities on hand. For more details and to purchase tickets go to www.bfbf.org.
We will feature more events as we move through the season, but these are two outstanding events that deserved a special highlight. Enjoy the last of the hot weather and make your plans to get out and about for some upcoming beer treats. See you out there.

CAFÉ NEGRO FROM BRIDGEPORT BREWING By “King” James Swann
Hello again everyone, yet another week languishing in the hot Arizona sun has begun to fry my brain. So this week we are going to discuss a coffee porter called Café Negro from Bridgeport Brewing. Why not a summer beer you ask? Well, this heat is turning me inside out, & I need a fixso on to the coffee porter it is! I don’t care how hot it is, the seasons are a changin’ everywhere else - and at this point I just can’t look another summer beer in the face! Of course, we should chat a little about the brewery first. Bridgeport brewing resides in Portland Oregon and began life in 1984 as the Columbia River Brewery. Residing in the old Portland Cordage Company rope making factory they now produce quite few beer styles and as Oregon’s “Oldest Brewery” have won multiple awards such as the Bronze medal for best Hybrid Beer, Café Negro, at the 2011 Australian Beer Awards. Who knew Australia had beer awards?
Check out where to enjoy and purchase these local brands on “Beer Spy” at www.worldclassbeverages.com AZWeeklyMagazine.com
As mentioned before, Café Negro is a coffee porter and was formulated with a number of local Portland coffee roasters to produce a special java blend. The coffee is then fused with the beer during cold conditioning after fermentation to retain all the subtle coffee aromas and flavors found in your favorite cup of Joe. At only 5.5% ABV & 30 IBUs you Continued on page 46...

...Continued from page 43.
might mistake this for a run of the mill everyday porter but one taste will tell you differently. The coffee infusion during cold conditioning really brings out the subtle flavors expected in your morning coffee and blends them with roasted & chocolate malts to produce something truly remarkable. A thick, beige head welcomes you as the pint is slid down the bar in your direction and is followed by what can only be described as a great “after work” cup of coffee. It pours a deep dark brown with nice lacing as the glass empties and has a mouth feel that belies its meager alcohol content. Here is most interesting thing; the nose tells the entire story before you even have a sip. Roasted malt, chocolate and hints of caramel first catch your senses before a dry slightly bitter finish sees you off into your own private (insert silly television commercial here) dream world!
Great pairings would include tiramisu, trifle or that strange chocolate pudding thing you mum made when you were a lad. On ratebeer.com the geeks have given Café Negro a score of 80 from 100. I understand why as mostly everything scoring near 100 these days seems to be 10% ABV. or higher with a mouth feel the size of a Sherman Tank. I disagree with this score and think this is a great session-able porter with as much flavor as anyone person needs in our crazy Arizona climate. A quality craft beer from Portland’s oldest Brewery. As always feel free to send your comments and ideas to me at kingjamesswann@gmail.com. On Monday as you are in line for that coffee at StarBuck’s think Cafe Negro! The silly underpaid girl behind the counter won’t understand, but you know what I mean…Cheers & Good Morning!

The Night Owl BY EVELYN ROMANS
Deadmau5 at Phoenix Convention Center
7000 East Mayo Boulevard Phoenix, 85054 • (480) 419-6375
Deadmau5, Dead Mouse, Deadmau5. Prepare your entire being for this event because it might go into shock if you don’t. If you’ve never heard of this mouse-headed DJ then I recommend youtubing him right now because one of the best house DJs of our time is coming to Phoenix ready to send extremely loud, pulsating sound waves through your very soul. If you’ve never attended a major DJ dance party event, you haven’t been to a true dance party. I’m saying this because I care for your nighttime experiences and I advise you to risk Friday morning normalcy for this Thursday evening sound jam. Imagine hundreds, sometimes thousands of people absorbing the same sounds, letting the bass filter through their own personal atmospheres to the point when it’s no longer just about your own enjoyment—it’s about the same pure ecstatic joy everyone in the venue is experiencing at the same time. Bass so deep it’s controlling your heart palpitations. One big dancing monster whose god is a mouse man. This Canadian mix artist has worked with some of the industry’s best, including Kaskade, MC Flipside, and Skrillex. Don’t you agree that great people share the company of other greats? Excision, Tommy Lee and DJ Aero will open so I’m sure that last statement applies to these two as well. Nominated for one Grammy and winner of three Juno awards, Deadmau5 is more than a DJ, he’s an artist. Seeing him perform is an opportunity that shouldn’t be missed. Start the weekend right and early so you can hear the beats playing in your head until Labor Day! Thursday, September 1st. 7:00 pm. Purchase tickets through ticketmaster.com. $50 (I promise, it’s worth it!)
El Hefe Labor Day Weekend El Hefe is one of the best bars in Old Town for several reasons. The theme is Dia de los Muertos which is interesting in itself but better when a bar is decked out in gothic Latin design. The Virgin Mary statue near
the entrance, with a face in Los Muertos tradition, made me want to go to church the next day to repent for the shots of tequila consumed there. Beer taps built into the tables?! What a genius idea! And the option of drinking a beer-garita is something I’ve never had before at a bar. I love margaritas and Coronas. Now I can have both at the same time--but only on occasion because those things are killer! And then there are the DJs… I must say, they’re pretty darn awesome. Electro dance is my favorite and they love to play it here. The place has got good taste all around and that’s why I’m writing about it and even recommending that you check out one of their events this Sunday. DJ Thomas James will be spinning in the evening at the actual bar while DJ Diesel will be spinning yacht rock (electro and eighties) at Pleasant Marina at Lake Pleasant just north of the city. Enjoy the supposed last days of summer at the lake with this El Hefe sponsored event and get that natural summer tan that will last you through the fall. DJ Diesel will be there from 3 to 11 pm so don’t forget your DD for the night drive back into the city or perhaps consider just camping out at the lake. Sunday, September 4th. Bar open until 2 am. www.elhefetacos.com
Got a hot event? Grand opening? Cool new promotion? Undiscovered gem? Please write to Evelyn at Nightowl@azweeklymagazine.com to possibly be featured here each week. Please include pictures when possible.

CLUB! SECTION .three.to.seven. By: Carrie Gurule
“Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover” Arcadia Tavern from the outside just looks like it would be nothing to special, but it is quite cozy on the inside with the big booths and many televisions throughout the restaurant. This place has a simple taste to the interior but does not lack on the menu. Monday- Friday from 4-7 you can indulge on their delicious offerings. The food goes from different kinds of bruschetta, appetizers, and even a section for lighter entrees. The seared ahi is lightly toasted with sesame seeds lying on a bed of slaw with a slight tease of soy sauce for $10. The drinks start at $3 and go up to $6 on the happy hour menu. 4801 E. Indian School Phoenix, AZ 85018 “Happier Happy Hour” Everyone loves a good brewery; at least I know I do! Great food and awesome beer, how can that ever be wrong? It is not. Happy hour at Rock Bottom is MondaySaturday from 4-7 along with reverse happy hour from 10-close. Their deals are from $5-$11 for food that you can perfectly pair with one of their beers. I loved the jalapeno spinach cheese dip; so delicious and its only $7. Definitely come on in, sip a beer and munch of some great eats! 7640 West Bell Rd. Glendale, AZ 85308 “No Crap on Tap” I am not going to lie; I think it is difficult to find a pizza place that really makes an impression. After my visit to Mellow Mushroom I can now say that I have found a pizza place that I will keep going back to. With 48 beers on tap and fantastic pizza; I am sure everyone can leave being satisfied. Their happy hour cuts the price of craft beers down to $3.50; definitely a good find! The mega veggie pizza is a dish I think is worth trying. The mushroom is a very laidback atmosphere with many options for your palette. Happy hour is every day from 10-2. 740 S. Mill Ave Tempe, AZ 85281

WHEN TIMES GET TOUGH … THINK BEFORE YOU ACT… JUST FOR LAUGHS A Penny Saved... David Posman, 33, was arrested recently in Providence, R.I, after allegedly knocking out an armored car driver and stealing the closest four bags of money. Turned out they contained $800 in PENNIES, weighed 30 pounds each, and slowed him to a stagger during his getaway so that police officers easily jumped him from behind.

The Lottery… Californian Bill Helko had the winning numbers in the local lottery, the first prize being $412,000. He went and ordered a Porsche, booked a holiday in Hawaii and had a champagne dinner with his wife and friends at an expensive Hollywood restaurant. When he went to pick up the winnings he found that 9,097 others had also won first prize and his share of the jackpot was $45. Cash Machine In Kentucky… Two men tried to pull the front of a cash machine off by running a chain from the machine to the bumper of their pickup truck. Instead of pulling the front panel off the machine, though, they pulled the bumper off their truck. Scared, they left the scene and drove home. With the chain still attached to the machine. With their bumper still attached to the chain. With their vehicle’s license plate still attached to the bumper. Deposit Slip Up In North Dakota… A man from the town of Grand Forks, North Dakota, decided to travel to Fargo so that he could rob the First Community Bank. The criminal quickly scribbled a note demanding money and gave it to the teller. Frightened, she gave the man what he asked for and watched him run out of the door. Police were called and upon reviewing the ransom note, it was noted that the message had been written on the perpetrator’s bank deposit slip. Police traveled to the man’s house and arrested him on his front porch.
In 1972, a Swedish man balanced on one foot for over five hours, using nothing for support.
Note To Mechanic… An auto mechanic received
a repair order that read: “Check for clunking sound when going around corners.” Taking the car out for a test drive, he made a right turn, and a moment later he heard a ‘clunk’. He then made a left turn and again heard a ‘clunk’. Back at the shop he opened the car’s trunk, and soon discovered the problem. Promptly he returned the repair order to the service manager with the notation, “Removed A BAG WITH 2 GUNS, A BLACK SKI MASK AND A LARGE CANVAS BAG WITH WELLS FARGO NIGHT DROP WRITTEN ON IT WHICH HAD ROLLS OF CHANGE INSIDE from trunk”.
Car Phone… A woman was reporting her car as stolen and mentioned that there was a car phone in it. The policeman taking the report called the phone and told the guy that answered that he had read the ad in the newspaper and wanted to buy the car. They arranged to meet, and the thief was arrested.
