By Craig Outhier If drinking cocktails in a speakeasy where the doorman is an AI-powered priest in a confessional booth is wrong… well, brothers and sisters, we don’t want to be right.

In a shabby trailer park in remote New Mexico, former military sniper Celeste (Adria Arjona), armed to the teeth, struggles with PTSD and an unsteady trigger finger. As the sci-fi horror thriller Onslaught begins, she’s doing target practice on jack-o-lanterns in the desert; a grinning orange head explodes in freeze frame under the opening titles.
Music Alfresco
“One of the best things about Phoenix is our weather lets us enjoy outdoor concerts for much more of the year than most places,” says Rachel Hill, general manager of Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre. “The temperatures in the fall and winter… allow us to have one of the longest outdoor concert seasons in the country.” Spanning April to November, the amphitheater’s season is indeed long by outdoor venue standards.
Grudge Match
The writer Molly McCloy was in Chicago this past July, celebrating her birthday. “I stayed in all day, reading final galleys of my book,” she told me when I phoned to ask how she’d spent her special day. She was referring to her memoir, Nine Grudges: The Spiteful Origins of the Happiest Dyke on Earth, which is scheduled to be published by Red Hen Press on September 8. The book, set mostly in Midtown Phoenix, is about McCloy’s complicated childhood relationship with her abusive father.

The 2026 lineup is the most eclectic in recent memory, offering a little something for everybody.
Studio Session with Ceramicist Andrew Smith
After college, ceramic artist Andrew Smith was surrounded by naysayers. “Everyone was like, ‘Go get a real job and do pottery as a hobby,’” Smith says. “But I couldn’t see a life without making art.” Smith’s love of ceramics came early. Born and raised in Augusta, Georgia – what he calls “the epicenter of pre- and post-Civil War ceramic production” – Smith began throwing pots as a kid. His work caught on with local collectors, and he started selling his pieces at local art markets.
Shea Cheese
“To me, a cheese shop is a whole experience,” says Jenny Zink. “You’re coming in, you’re tasting, you’re kind of reading the cards, you’re talking to the cheese monger.” As founder and co-owner of Shea Cheese in Phoenix, the Valley’s only dedicated cheese shop, Zink is taking the “whole experience” gospel to heart. Well known for its American artisan cheeses, the shop has steadily evolved its retail philosophy since opening in 2022.
