The weekend also features VIP appearances, historical and educational exhibits, and exciting entertainment. During the same weekend, fairgoers of legal age can also sample some of the finest Arizona wines, try their “feet” at a grape stomp, and watch the blind taste competition at the 2011 Arizona State Fair Wine Competition and Tasting.

Sherlock Holmes Triumphs Again! By Professor Moriarty

As the primary nemesis to Mr. Sherlock Holmes, and arch villain of unequivocal merit, it pains me to set to ink, anything that gives my rival more fame. But alas, one must give proper credence to this landmark theatrical triumph, if for no other reason than to remind the reader of an adversary no less brilliant but for the time being, who avoids the spotlight of The Arizona Theatre Company’s famed stage. I should be glad to inform you that if you miss Sherlock Holmes and The Adventure of the Suicide Club, now playing at the Herberger Theater Center, you will have unwittingly engaged in the heinous crime of theatricide, for which the punishment should be no less twisted than the diabolical plot

the production reveals. Masterful performances are delivered with ease by Remi Sandri, who stars as the detective-sleuth and Jeff Steitzer as the affable Dr. Watson. The supporting cast is no less brilliant and the plot is - well, delightfully wicked and worthy of something I might easily have devised…had I been consulted.

move as slowly as their wallets and thus, fail to purchase a ticket. The sooner the memory fades from this theatrical blessing, the sooner I may one day again seek out the spotlight. Until then, if you fancy suspense, intellectual enrichment and intense drama, I should think you would be wise to witness it personally.

The game afoot is murder and I daresay, so ingeniously crafted that only the mind of Sherlock Holmes would have a chance of figuring it out, even if it might kill him. Those who attend will have to settle for being thoroughly entertained as Holmes dazzles and stuns his peers with powers of incredible deduction, rivaled only by the dramatic flair in which they are delivered.

Sherlock Holmes and The Adventure of the Suicide Club

Perhaps it is a good thing that this performance will only last until October 30th and that not everyone will get a chance to see it, especially those whose minds

Joseph: “Though exasperatingly redundant and overly simplistic, Patrick Takaya Solomon’s documentary ‘Finding Joe’ will motivate you to be the best [insert your name here] the world has ever known. The motion picture, based on the teachings of Joseph Campbell – an American mythologist, writer and lecturer whose philosophy is best summarized by the phrase, ‘Follow Your Bliss’ – is more or less just an instructional self-help video but it definitely gets the job done, lighting

‘Paranormal Activity 3’*

Zoe Bell, who recently played her first main role in ‘Death Proof’ (2007), was Uma Thurman’s stunt double for both ‘Kill Bill’ movies (2003 & 2004)!

by Stan Robinson

Joseph: “If you simply succumb to the silliness, ‘Johnny English Reborn’ will seem bloody brilliant. Of course, I do not mean that in the usual sense of the word because – let’s face it – ‘Johnny English Reborn’ is utterly ridiculous on almost every level imaginable. However, when it comes to making people laugh, the movie is spy-tacularly hilarious. If nothing else, it proves without a reasonable doubt that Rowan Atkinson – best known for his ‘Mr. Bean’ character – is the physicalcomedy king.” Grade: B

‘Johnny English Reborn’ A bumbling secret agent (Rowan Atkinson) uses his questionable combat

Joseph: “Although the new religious sports drama ‘The Mighty Macs’ is oddly old-fashioned and leans a bit too hard against the game, it easily rebounds with an inspiring message about commitment. As a solid film with admirable values, ‘The Mighty Macs’ certainly scores. However, viewers – especially those who, like myself, are less than enthusiastic about sports – may often catch writer/director Tim Chambers traveling (i.e. relying too heavily on genre clichés) whereas the

Three brothers (John Cena, Ethan Embry and Boyd Holbrook) cross the path of a drug lord and a murderous businessman in Mexico. (PG-13 – 96 minutes) Joseph: “The new dramatic actioner ‘The Reunion’ may be one of WWE’s weaker efforts due to the complexity of its concept but it is still sufficiently entertaining. Much like the studio’s other recent releases, ‘The Reunion’ places a priority on dramatic storytelling over hard-hitting action. However, there is also enough engaging excitement to appease audiences who merely want to see star John Cena kick some butt – especially toward the end as writer/director Michael Pavone plays with elements typical of old-fashioned Westerns.” Grade: C

Joseph: “Writer/director Lucky McKee’s latest horror flick ‘The Woman’ is sadistically stimulating, championing the feminist movement with a cynical sense of humor that will blow your brains... I mean mind. Not to be confused with the 2008 romantic comedy ‘The Women’ boasting an all-female cast, ‘The Woman’ is unsettling in both its storytelling and its aesthetics. If the twisted tale is not enough to nauseate you, then the strange sights and sounds certainly will be. While it could have benefited from a faintly faster pace, this piece of exploitation cinema with a moral (imagine that) is as smart as it is savage.” Grade: B

Bet You Didn’t Know! by Stan Robinson

*Not made available for review.

We shot the film in 32 days, and there wasn’t a single shooting day when we didn’t have somebody on fire, or a car chase, or someone being shot, or stabbed. With the exception of the last 3 days of production, we were never at a location with high air conditioning so every day had its own challenges and yet, I was so thrilled with the locations and what we were capturing on film, and the crew did such an amazing job and were so tenacious in going to the locations and getting what we could out of them. Those challenges had definite cinematic rewards.In the back of all of our minds was the fact that we were only presenting one case, while there are numerous that are unsolved to this day. – Ami Canaan Mann

‘Weekend’*

Actor Ray Stevenson (‘The Three Musketeers’)

Soundbite Spotlight

‘Robocop’ (1987) is the only movie to receive an X rating before they made NC17 for violence, the movie had to be re-edited to get the R rating! Stan: “With the thought that it’s based on true events with many still unsolved crimes, ‘Texas Filling Fields’ in a ‘film noir’ style presentation by director Ami Canaan Mann, has a gritty docudrama style for each of the two detectives representative of their diverse backgrounds. One from the big city of New York, the other from the rural area of Texas, with their investigative styles clashing as they collectively work the case of the missing girl, we’re drawn into a fact-based psychological thriller as physical evidence is discovered in a race against time…” Grade: B Joseph: “‘Texas Killing Fields’ is certainly a decent thriller but it all just seems so... generic. That is not to say that the atmosphere that director Ami Canaan Mann – yes, daughter of acclaimed filmmaker Michael Mann – drums up is even remotely uninspired. Quite the contrary. However, writer Don Ferrarone’s screenplay is another story, passing off other superior movies’ characters and plot devices as its own and insulting the viewer’s intelligence and investment with a ridiculous red herring.” Grade: C

Sam (Worthington) and Jeffrey(Dean Morgan) spent time with them as well. It’s funny because this kind of ‘mix / match’ cop is absolutely a trope, but in this case it’s absolutely authentic, that’s the way they really are! One case had found them both and they would just go at each other in terms of their differing philosophies in life and how that also affects the way they approach the work that they do, specifically the killing fields themselves. Sam and Jeffery did a fantastic job of capturing the essence of both those men as they really are!

‘The Three Musketeers’* The young D’Artagnan (Logan Lerman) joins forces with three rogue Musketeers (Ray Stevenson, Matthew Macfadyen and Luke Evans) to stop the evil Richlieu (Christoph Waltz) and face off with Buckingham (Orlando Bloom) and the treacherous Milady (Milla Jovovich). (PG13 – 110 minutes)

After a drunken house party with his friends, a young man (Tom Cullen) heads out to a gay club. Just before closing time he picks up someone (Chris New) but what’s expected to be just a onenight stand becomes something else – something special. Playing exclusively at UltraStar Scottsdale Pavilions 11. (NR – 93 minutes) *Not made available for review.

‘The Woman’ A lawyer (Sean Bridgers) puts his family in jeopardy when he captures the last member (Pollyanna McIntosh) of a violent clan and tries to forcibly tame her. Playing exclusively at The Royale. (R – 102 minutes)

The following quotes were pulled from interviews conducted by AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s film columnists with talent speaking on behalf of movies recently released in theaters.

By Joseph J. Airdo

Director Ami Canaan Mann (‘Texas Killing Fields’) By Stan Robinson “The script came to me with no budget, no cast, and the slimmest of hope that I would be on set shooting it, let alone having finished it! It came with a bit of research, which I read before I read the screenplay, which I found incredibly compelling, I would say the script kind of found me. We had the terrific good fortune of having access to the real people who inspired the true story. I spent time with the real detectives in Texas City,

“Porthos is a sexy hedonist – with a tendency toward violence – who likes his cougars because they have got a bit of money and are more experienced women. When I took the part, I thought, ‘Maybe Porthos is not actually from Paris. Maybe he is from Marseille, which is where the Foreign Legions are. Maybe he has had a naughty nautical past and has been on ships.’ “He has got a pearl drop earring on one side, a shaven head, no floppy hair and no floppy hat. He has got this world-traveled mercenary look about him. But, obviously in his heart, his path has drawn him to be a Musketeer. That is his spirit and that is what resonates through. It has been great to actually have the freedom to play with that – and with these great people.

“There are a lot of kids – especially in the states – who are sitting there on the couch, playing their video games and they are the same age as D’Artagnan. We have got Logan Lerman – who is actually 18 years old – and his story is going to resonate with people. They are going to realize that there is a world of adventure out there and it is theirs for the taking. Sling a backpack on and get the hell out. Just live life and enjoy it.” – Ray Stevenson

Bonus Features The following quotes were pulled from interviews conducted by AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s film columnists with talent speaking on behalf movies recently released to Blu-ray and DVD. Director Chris Weitz (‘A Better Life’) By Stan Robinson “About three years ago a friend brought me this script that Eric Eason had written who’s an amazing writer, and it’s really the best thing I had read the whole time

I’d been working in movies. Aside from that, I have Mexican family heritage, my grandmother came to the States when she was 17, and I grew up not speaking Spanish, so it was an opportunity to get back into that aspect of the culture, to start learning Spanish because I knew we were going to make the movie with a bilingual crew! And as well, ‘A Better Life’ was a chance to get back to making films without green screen and without CGI, and a film with real emotional impact!” – Chris Weitz

Actor Landon Liboiron (‘The Howling: Reborn’) By Joseph J. Airdo “I didn’t allow the first ‘The Howling’ to influence my performance at all. I think ‘The Howling: Reborn’ is its own identity. The thing that interested me about doing this project was Will’s lack of control. To be able to sit into the skin of someone who is completely good at heart, but is being twisted by the world’s – and his own – sinful desire really excited me. Will existed in that film purely on animal instinct, which was definitely something fun to explore.” – Landon Liboiron

Writer/Director Jennifer Siebel Newsom (‘Miss Representation’)* By Joseph J. Airdo “Media literacy is critical because culture is learned. Right now the media is this great technological force of communication that is dictating our cultural values and our gender norms, telling us what we can and cannot be. Babies right out of the womb are being fed brands. They are being sold to right away. We’re selling our kids this notion that a woman’s value lies in her youth, her beauty and her sexuality and not her capacity to lead or her capacity to feel and be powerful.” – Jennifer Siebel Newsom *“Miss Representation” will air 9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 20 exclusively on OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network.

Mike Dini – Director of Casino Marketing with Big Butte Burger Champ (most burgers) Naader Ali Reda

Big Butte Burger Binge - Enormously Exciting Event! The first annual Big Butte Burger Eating Contest at Lone Butte Casino was a terrific success. Guests were treated to quite a show as contestants were split into two heats and the competition to crown the biggest burger eater began. FASTEST BURGER EATER The first heat pitted the contestants against one another to see who could consume the massive 10” Big Butte Burger in the fastest time. As the beef and buns began to fly, the eaters raced to chew down each bite. As the time ticked away, several competitors began to separate themselves from the pack. In the end Stephanie proved too fast for the rest of the field of burger eaters. The deceptively diminutive five foot Stephanie took home the title of fastest Big Butte Burger eater. She put away the entire sandwich in a stunning time of just 5 minutes and 20 seconds. EAT THE MOST BURGERS The second heat of the competition provided thirty minutes of timed eating to see who could consume the most Big Butte Burgers. For the entire thirty minutes a field of more than twenty-five competitors battled bite for bite as each struggled to conquer as many Big Butte Burgers as possible. October 20th, 2011 - October 26th, 2011 AZWeeklyMagazine.com

When the final bell tolled three competitors had qualified by eating more than one Big Butte Burger. The winner was determined by weighing the remnants of the second Big Butte Burger with the title headed to the contestant who ate the most. With the weights tallied and the damage assessed - Naader Ali Reda was awarded the belt. Reda had finished off 126.95 ounces of Big Butte Burgers, which was just shy of two complete sandwiches. Amazingly, the second place prize in the most consumed competition went to the aforementioned Stephanie. A little over an hour after eating in the fastest time competition - Stephanie was able to put away an additional 126.70 ounces of burger in the second heat. Stephanie proved that big eaters can come in small packages. The winners for each competition were awarded $1,000 and the title of Big Butte Burger eating champion. If you want to compete in next year’s event, you can start practicing now at the Café 24/7 location inside Lone Butte Casino. The 10” burger is available all year long. It is a great way to feed a party of four or one very hungry future competitor in the Big Butte Burger eating contest. Lone Butte Casino is located in Chandler - just off the Santan 202 at the Kyrene Road exit

Sandra Lee creates a Halloween ‘Wonderland’ on Food network

Dinner 3p – 9pm Tues – Thurs. 3p – 10p Fri. & Sat. Sundays close at 9p Closed Mondays Happy Hour Tues-Fri, 3-6pm

For Sandra Lee, as for so many others, Halloween is about more than food. The cooking and lifestyle expert has a separate program for the annual trick-ortreating occasion. Her Food Network special “Sandra’s Halloween Wonderland” debuts Sunday, Oct. 23, and its star cites it – with obvious pleasure – as an elaborate production. “I’m kind of known for my holiday specials,” Lee says, “and I do as much as I can to make them fantasies. My Halloween specials are the ones that are always nominated for Emmys, because the costumes are so amazing, and so are the hair and makeup. “There are about three of us who really put these specials together. I visited these locations three different times. I found all the furniture and flew to L.A. and got all the costumes and wigs, so it was pretty intense.”

It is possible for your nose to identify and remember more than 50,000 smells.

THE GAMECHANGERS After spending 30+ years on Wall Street I am neither hopelessly naïve nor impractical, I am one, however, of many who believe there is prospect for change. An attainable idea that values can be put back into capitalism.

One out of every eight United States residents lives in California.

I do not believe capitalism will ever achieve the perfect balance, or that we can eliminate the side of human nature which for some leads their judgment. The crash of 2008 and all that has unfolded ever since has shown us that the short-termism “greed is good” capitalism that dominated the past 30 years has failed. It has failed society, our children and our shareholders. The never~ending pursuit of shortterm profits and a higher share price has driven capitalism right off the cliff. Business leaders and investors alike were seduced by the idea -- known in academia as the “efficient market hypothesis” -- that the current share price told you all you needed to know about the value of a company. As it turns out, it tells you very little. The alternative; Old School is New School or as Matthew Bishop and Michael Green call it; “PHILANTHROCAPITALISM”; the better business practice of long termism and values~based business. The bottom line is the bottom line, but there is more than one way to get there. It is not just Warren Buffett and community banks that are role models for a new long-termism valuesbased capitalism. Nike, PepsiCo. and General Electric have all embraced a social mission with unexpected enthusiasm that is certainly more than just spin. Even those corporations who were at the bottom of the “best business practice” list are starting to take their responsibility to society more seriously. A vast number of firms are starting to realize that if they want to hire the best people, they will have to stand for something more than profit maximization.

No NCAA basketball team from a school located in its state’s capital has ever won the national championship.

If the current trend continues, by the year 2215 dwarves will outnumber “normal-sized” people.

For those of us not at the helm of the top 50 there are actions we can take to perpetuate the change. If you are a manager, sign a business oath. Move some of your company’s money to a community bank. Buy products that are green, or fair traded, or otherwise ethically produced. Above all, demand that the pension funds and mutual funds that manage your retirement savings invest your money in a way that rewards long-term responsible behavior, not shortterm profit-chasing. New York Times columnist David Brooks recently expressed the need to “remoralize the markets”. Management guru Rosabeth Moss Kanter, whose new book, “SuperCorp,” is all about how “out of the ashes of conventional business models arises a set of companies using their power not only for profits and sustainable growth but also social good.” And as written in “The Road From Ruin,” “if business leaders, shareholders, and consumers want a better capitalism, now may be the best time to remake the system.” Rather than dismissing this type of thinking as unrealistic, perhaps it is time to wake up and smell the (fair trade) coffee.

BEER! SECTION

BEER!

Beer Dinners The title of this article might be a little off, because, let’s face it…any dinner can be a beer dinner. But for purposes of today’s discussion, we are going to focus on those dinners that are planned as beer dinners, usually at a nice restaurant or hotel ballroom. In a previous article, we discussed the concept of pairing food and beer, now we are going to get a little more in depth. What is a beer dinner? Great question and one that you might have if you have never attended one. A beer dinner is typically a four to eight course meal during which a different style of beer is served with each course. Each beer is specifically

paired by the chef to pair properly with the dish being served. In many cases, the chef will cook with the beer in question or another beer that will complement the meal. Many times the dinners focus on one brewery and feature commentary during the meal from the brewmaster or some other brewery representative. Other times the chef will use beers from everything at his disposal, with no thought to which brewery, just the best possible pairing. Either one can be enjoyable, and both have their merits. It is nice to have the brewer of a particular beer discussing the beer while you eat, but the larger variety offered at the latter style of dinner usually provides a better overall meal. And the good news is that just because beer dinners are “typically” held at

restaurants doesn’t mean you can’t put one together yourself using basic principles of food and beer pairing. How does a beer dinner get put together? Most chefs will start with a basic concept of what they want to do, perhaps a theme or event. Next they will taste beers that are available to them, and start narrowing down which beers they want to use and what type of dishes will go best with them. It’s a little like Iron Chef with beer as the secret ingredient. Finally they decide on the menu and the beer pairings and go to work. As they are preparing the dishes they will adjust the seasoning to provide the best complement to the beers. In other cases the chef will start with a Continued on Page 36...

Either way works, but the former tends to be a little more efficient and provide the best possible pairings. The chefs also tend to enjoy that more since it allows them to really exercise their creative muscles and do something a little different.

R A C K S

Beer dinners can be simple or extravagant, inexpensive or pricey. I have been to very enjoyable meals that have featured pizza and burgers at a cost of only $30 and I have had incredible dinners where the chef threw everything he had in to the meal at a cost of almost $100. Both were fun events for what they were and while the $100 meal was close to perfection, the pizza and burger meal was much more casual and included a bunch of fun people who really added to the event. It seems as if five courses at a cost around $50 seems to be the norm for these events.

October 20th, 2011 - October 26th, 2011

There are even chefs that have made careers around beer dinners. Bruce Paton who bills himself as The Beer Chef is one of these people. His beer dinners, held until recently at the Cathedral Hotel in San Francisco are dinners of legend. In one of the most wine oriented cities in the country he has made a name for himself with beer. In fact, the owner of a company specializing in wine events had this to say about Chef Paton, “The magical way that Bruce pairs beer and food should have the wine industry very nervous.” If you recall, we have discussed in past articles the versatility beer brings to the table, literally, when matched with food, and how this can far exceed the abilities of wine. So, what make Paton so special? How about pairing Slow Poached Arctic Char with Artichoke Salad, Chipotle Aioli and MicroArugula and Oskar Blues Gordon. Or what about Butter Poached Gulf Prawns, Apple Wood Bacon Flan and Citrus Nage with Schneider Wiesse. For those of you that scoffed at previous articles talking about beer pairing with chocolate, Paton does an annual beer and chocolate event as part of San Francisco Beer Week. This year AZWeeklyMagazine.com

Molten Chocolate Cake with Caramel Sabayon and Fleur du Sel was paired with North Coast Old Rasputin. Still think beer and chocolate don’t pair? Another chef, Sean Paxton, who goes by the title, The Hombrew Chef, regularly plans and oversees preparation of the feast at the World Beer Cup awards dinner which always sets a new record for the largest beer dinner ever served now at well over 2,000 attendees. They hold Beer Blunches (kind of like brunch, I suppose) at the famed beer bar, The Toronado, in San Francisco and while it doesn’t rival the World Beer Cup for number of attendees, it was one of the largest in terms of courses. This event, also prepared by Chef Paxton, featured twelve courses, sixteen beers and lasted over five hours. However, locally, Chef Kevin Binkley prepared an amazing meal as part of a rare beer, wine and spirits dinner to benefit the Beer For Brains Foundation. His dinner came in at twenty courses, if you include the 16 amuse-bouche he prepared. Although there were not an equal number of beers, it was still an amazing gastronomic experience. How about the in-home beer dinner? You can hire a private chef, or prepare it yourself. The best way is to get a few friends together, decide what would be good dishes and pairings, and divide up the work. Everybody can be responsible for one of the courses, match the beers, prepare the food and discuss the pairing at the dinner. It’s a different type of dinner party, and one that should be a good time. In Arizona beer dinners have until recently been rather uncommon. A few places have ventured into this territory; most notably Boulders on Broadway and Cafe Zuzu at the Hotel Valley Ho regularly had very nice events. The first Arizona Beer Week held this past February seemed to signal a change. There were many special dinners going on that week, with particularly good ones at Atlas Bistro (co-hosted with AZ Wine) and La Bocca Urban Pizzeria. Since then both of those have held additional beer dinners which improved on their Continued on Page 38...

By “King” James Swann

Hello again everybody, thanks so much for all the feedback on last week’s brew. Wow, so many opinions and pairing ideas. I was terribly impressed to say the least!

BEER! SECTION

Tripel Karmeliet

This week let’s take a short trip to Belgium and chat about Tripel Karmeliet. Brewed by Bosteel’s Brewery in Belgium, Tripel Karmeliet is brewed with three different grains including wheat, oats and barley in a recipe dating back to 1679 and the original Carmelite Monastery. The name Triple Karmeliet refers to its origin as well as it’s in bottle fermentation and is one of many reasons this authentic Belgian beer is so robust and well balanced. Triple Fermentation provides for many delicate characteristics and nuances including big fruity ester type flavors balanced by an essence of bready, biscuit malt that does well to steady this high alcohol brew. At 8% ABV. you might imagine this little gem has a kick and although the mouth feel isquite full bodied there is a very refreshing characteristic that makes it perfect for Arizona weather. Indeed, high alcohol and drinkability. Robust, yet delicate. Having your cake and eating it too, no wonder this this beer scores a 99 out of 100 on ratebeer.com. All of the sudden I am quite thirsty! My pairing advice would include a wide array of dishes from smoked salmon with cream cheese to soft ripe goat cheeses with fig and an authentic Chicken Marsala. As I understand, many modern European brews made specifically for food pairing including Estrella Inedit are loosely basedon the Karmeliet recipe. Looking to entertain for the holiday season? This attractive cork and caged bottle will make the right impression as you pop it open champagne style in front of your guests at dinner service.

No Country For Old Men - The gun seen in this picture is a Remington 11-87 with a suppressor on the front of it. This movie was set in the year 1980 which means that the shotgun used in the movie didn’t exist. The 11-87 didn’t come out until 1987. There aren’t many suppressors on the market for shotguns, but they are plentiful for handguns and rifles. Suppressors are a fun item that are practical for home defense. All you have to do to legally obtain one is a whole lot of paperwork, pass a major background check and pay the fees.

On Friday, Oct. 28, Discovery premieres the second season of “Gold Rush” – known in season one as “Gold Rush: Alaska” – again following Oregon resident Todd Hoffman, his father, Jack, and their band of down-on-their-luck friends and neighbors as they seek to strike it rich in the gold fields of Alaska. The night kicks off with a special called “The Off-Season,” which shows what the group has been up to since leaving its mining camp on Porcupine Creek as winter closed in, with only a small amount of gold to show for months of effort and a $250,000 investment. Then the first new episode, “Twist of Fate,” shows what happens when the crew returns in hopes of hitting the mother lode. AZWeeklyMagazine.com

Battlefield 3 X360, PC, PS3/$59.99/Oct. 25 It’s been more than six years of painful waiting as DICE labored over the next installment of its phenomenal “Battlefield” series. As far as first-person shooters go, the franchise has managed to do just about everything right, offering everything from massive environments to diverse vehicular combat. Unfortunately, during its hiatus, several companies built blockbuster shooters that have forced nearly every thought of “Battlefield” from consumers’ minds. But as the saying goes, It’s about quality, not quantity, and if you want quality, you want “Battlefield 3.” I could spend hours discussing single-player stories and gameplay, but as far as “Battlefield” is concerned, being excited over single-player is the same as being excited over the sound system in your new Porsche. Sure, it’s there and it’s great, but it’s not the real reason you spent all that money on the car. However, for those who want to know, there is a single-player campaign that places you on the Iran/Iraq border fighting against the People’s Liberation and Resistance. If the combat is just too tough for you, invite a friend and play it together in the game’s co-op mode.

LIVE! SECTION

October 28th: Loren Battle October 29th: Project Independent with Aghori www.clubhousegigs.com

Q: This is the band’s first time performing in Cave Creek. What do you want people to know about the concert? Roger: We found a cool, out of the way honky-tonk, just beyond the city lights where you can smell the desert air and behold Arizona’s October stars. It seemed a perfect place to throw an outdoor rock ‘n’ roll Halloween bash! Q: Will you and the band be dressed up for Halloween?

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28th $35 SEATING - $20 STANDING *** OUTDOOR CONCERT ***

AZWeeklyMagazine.com

Roger: Yes, as zombies! Western zombies! Though, we welcome zombies from all eras and all walks of “life.” We’re hoping to see some celebrity undead there, ya’ll. Get creative, get your zombie on and be a part of the rockin’ zombie horde! Zombie out! Q: How has the addition of Jim Dalton to RCPM affected the band’s ability to create new music? Roger: Not only is Jim a great player, singer and songwriter, he’s also fun. He’s a team player and full of positive vibes. I feel it in our performances and hear it in our music. Tickets are available at www. Ticketmaster.com and at Harold’s. Details: (480) 488-1906, www. HaroldsCorral.com October 20th, 2011 - October 26th, 2011

The Night Owl BY EVELYN ROMANS

Kokopelli Krush Festival The instant your bare feet press down on the firm, plump spheres of the world’s favorite berry, you won’t be able to stop yourself from enjoying the sweet grape meat ooze and squeeze through your toes. You’ll sense each small burst of juices under your feet and want to curl your toes around the abandoned skins. Then you’ll realize that enjoying the sensation of crushing grapes with your feet for too long at your own convenience won’t win you that grand prize cruise for two. So you start lifting your already sticky feet and pounding those little suckers into the ground creating a small bath of grape juice. An image of you and your grape-crushing partner sitting in it after you’ve squished them all flashes through your head as your legs pump harder and harder. But no, sitting in grape mush and juice in front of Chandler citizens would just look silly--a sticky situation, indeed. The sweet nectar starts to spurt above your knees which gives you the inspiration to stomp with more force in an attempt to catch some of wine’s motherjuices in your mouth for a little treat while you work. And the crowds cheer and hold their wine and beer drinking vessels in the air because you and your amigo have won. Imagine what victory and self-respect you could have if you actually did win downtown Chandler’s 10th annual wine festival. You’d make Dionysus, the ancient Greek god of wine, so proud! Every year Kokopelli Winery and Bistro holds this festival during their grape harvest month and invite Arizonans in two person teams to partake in a grape crushing competition. Yes, the grand prize is a cruise for two among smaller prizes like bottles of wine, gift cards, and other rewards. Earn more points (and respect) by smashing those grapes in costume and style. Also enjoy live entertainment, wine sampling, and games for the kids this weekend. Check out their website for more info. Friday, October 21st – Sunday October 23rd. Friday and

Saturday open until midnight. $10. www. kokopelliwinery.net/ Wine & Tequila Tasting Under the Stars Plan for a fancy evening in your best little black dress this Friday at Corona Ranch and enjoy having the silhouette of South Mountain reaching for the heavens as the backdrop to your evening. It’s always good to remind yourself that you live in a city surrounded by beautiful, desert mountains by taking your drinking adventures outside and allowing yourself to pleasure your senses. Sample wine by Little Black Dress and Layer Cake, tequila by Cruz and 3 Amigos, and indulge in tasty hors d’oeuvres by SoMo Catering. Live music by the Desert Blues Project will feed into your brain, mix in with the booze, and cause the beating of your heart to match the passion in your soul. Sense new perspective through the art of Ray Rivas, Norma Torres, Veronica VerdugoLomeli as you stroll through Corona Ranch’s old school, true southwestern grounds with your date, best friends, or new aqauintances under the stars. Friday, October 21st. 6:00 – 10:00 pm. $25. RSVP to somocateringandevents@gmail.com Ages 21 +

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.

‘Project runway’ finale The ninth season of Lifetime’s hit “Project Runway” crowns its winner Thursday, Oct. 27. No spoilers here, but the finale, taped during Fashion Week in Manhattan’s Lincoln Center, revealed no overarching theme for the finalists. Metallic dresses and shorts remain popular as do completely sheer tops. Apparently bras and camisoles are out. Nina Garcia, fashion director of Marie Claire magazine and a “Project Runway” judge, gives her opinion of these outfits worn on the catwalk for the finale.

“Hidden Gem” I love exploring downtown Phoenix because you never know what you are going to find. I came across a place called Switch, right next to Durant’s. On the outside you would probably never notice it and keep on driving, but thanks to a friends recommendation I stopped by. When you walk inside it has a casual/ modern feel. The happy hour is Monday-Friday 4pm-630p and it is half off their signature cocktails and half off their wine selection, leaving the cocktails to just under $4. The “bar nibbles” are quite tasty. My friend and I devoured the bacon jalapeno macaroni and cheese and an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie with ice cream for dessert for under $15. 2603 North Central Avenue “Bigger Is Not Always Better” A lot of times it is the staff that makes me want to come back to a restaurant, and that is exactly the case with New China Gate. At all times they have $1.50 budlights and $2.00 heinekens, along with $4 sake bombers. The bartender there referred to as “Cowboy” is definitely a treat. He will never forget your name and is always making the entire restaurant shots; he loves a good time. the food there is great with large portions. A little more expensive but the drink specials really make up for it. It is the tiniest place you will probably ever go with the most traffic 7730 East Mcdowell Rd. 85257
