My mother wants to drag me along to somebody's wedding. I will almost certainly be bored to death at the wedding. I can tell her 'no', but it'll be a real kick in the balls if I find out after the fact that there's something mind-blowingly amazing in Phoenix.

Is there anything in Phoenix which is utterly fascinating and shouldn't be missed out on?

Who's getting married?

Not that I can think of and I've got family there.

If you end up having to go they do have an IMAX theater.

When are you supposed to be there?

If you like baseball the Diamandbacks usually have really cheap tickets on game days, although you have to wait in line a long time. If you're coming sooner the Coyotes are doing poorly enough now that they aren't selling out their new arena, and if it's going to be during football season the Cardinals always have seats available.

Alice Cooper has a restaurant called Cooper's Town. It's near Bank One Ballpark and has some kind of Rock-n-Roll/Sports tie-in. I wasn't impressed by the website but I have heard that the food is good and that ocassionally Alice drops in to play. IIRC the place usually has a live band but I don't know at what times.

Phoenix Travel Doesn't make me want to go to Phoenix and I'm only a couple of hours away.

We went to this place a couple of times when I was a kid Rawhide. If you're into that "western" thing it might kill some time.

Trip Advisor might help some.

Some of the people around here who actually live in the Phoenix area should be more help.

Cactii. oh yeah, and sand. and did i mention the cactii?

If it's summer there's lots of heat.

there's. . . .umm, desert? and snakes?

Gila Monsters are cool. Maybe you could visit the Phoenix zoo.

Frank Hipper's People's Museum of Antiquities, and the Frank Hipper Rehabilitation Clinic. (I don't have the PR photo on me right now)

It'd be March 26-29th, probably.

There's really tons of things to do in Phoenix.

But it's a big town, where exactly will you be going?

You're not required to attend, since it's a non-relative.

Phoenix fucking blows compared even to Portland. Does that answer your question?

It answers it plenty well; if Phoenix blows that badly, I'll just stay in Oregon rather than let an almost-stranger's wedding cut into my spring break. Thanks.

If you're into scenery, Arizona is beautiful, and it's not unbearably hot in March that I know of (then again, I went in November one year and it was 90 degrees all three days).

Alyrium lives there, if you need someone from SD.net to pal around with.

On average, 50% of Phoenix is female. Get the hell out of the house, see new places, drink their liquor, and fool around with their women.

Thats like the unofficial motto of the United States Marine Corps., but it works well in alot of situations.

Your location relating your vicinity to "the boondocks" certainly doesn't make that very clear.

I live ten miles east of Queen Creek, 50 miles southeast of downtown Phoenix.

Yeah, that's sure in the fucking boondocks.

The roads are so bad out here that our FedEx driver is starting to complain.
Wouldn't that be just great? Lose delivery service because of shitty roads?

Lots of free sand.
