You don’t have to wait for a band that you know and love. Whenever you feel like seeing a show look up who’s playing on silverplatter and then… Read more
Went out shopping
I picked up some peanut butter, yogurt, bread, lunch meat, garbage bags, a 357 Magnum revolver, some rounds, a holster and a book on Arizona gun laws. Turns out you can walk into a gun store and walk out 10 minutes later with a hand gun and some ammo. Of course there’s a list of… Read more
Dbacks are looking good

The best happy hour downtown has got to be Coach & Willie’s reverse happy hour from 8pm to 10pm M-F. All of their appetizers, pizzas, draft beer and house wine is half off.
