so looks like I'm going to fly in for 1 night, staying at Renaissance DT Phoenix. Taking light rail from PHX Airport -> Downtown Phoenix -> Tempe Beach Park -> Back.
Fly in, eat some pizza, check into hotel, go to show, and then find something cool to do in DT Phoenix on Sunday before flying out (uber is always a viable last resort).
Anyone see a problem with this idea?

Network like a motherfucker and find people that will drive you out to Glendale so you can tailgate at the University of Phoenix stadium and then catch a Cards game. 
Don't forget to tell me how Pizzeria Bianco goes! Unless it sucks. In which case...it wasn't my idea.

It's almost time bump
@Skel, hit me up if you want to meet up for drinks
I'll be staying in DT phoenix instead of tempe, will also be traveling with dogs (we are driving in instead of flying). Last bump for suggestions...
Sedona's out, military museums are out (going the wrong way)

This place isn't bad either: http://cheddars.com/menu/
If you end up at Organ Stop, let me know, I'll probably swing by.

Have you visited Rustler's Roost?
LOVED that place. Steak wasn't super great, but I LOVED the atmosphere and the amazing open patio VIEW + firepits that stare down the entire city. (restaurant is placed on a big hill).

<Sun picks Ns1 up, slaps him around a bit, and throws him in the bushes. Resumes being awesome.>
By the way, you are experiencing winter light. Summer sun is a rush. Photons aren't supposed to have mass but the summer sunlight is like having a large rock smack you on the head every time you step out of the shade.

Damn you guys. Just because you're visiting here doesn't mean you have to bring your earthquakes with.

so I'm back in the land of Cali - guess the earthquake wasn't "the one" to create Arizona bay.
PHX is actually a really nice city, at least the parts I visited. Lots of good food, cool architecture, all the stuff I'm looking for from a big city. It also has brutal AZ sun, which definitely is a big fucking negative. But that COL though...
Tempe Beach Park - pretty cool concert venue, but not a venue built for 30k.
Had a lot of good eats, but the biggie here is Pizza Bianco. Went to the 20th street location, not the DT PHX location. Got there at 130pm on a Sunday, was prepared for a long ass wait but lo and behold lots of empty tables and sat our asses right down.
Bread and olive oil were terribad, cold bread and terrible olive oil.
The caprese salad was good, but I'm not a big fan of caprese's so not much else to say here. I could recognize the quality of ingredients however.
Cherry soda was OMG good, so good we ordered 2 even @ $4 a pop.
Now the pizza...I always order a margherita as a benchmark for this style of pizza. Quality of ingredients top notch, perfect crisp (to me). Was able to fold, no knife/fork required HOWEVER I recognize knife/fork and wet center is actually the standard for a naples style pizza. This, however, was crisp enough to be folded NY style (I'm a heathen I know). Crust was almost impossibly thin with a beautiful chew.
Now, best pizza in america? Dunno about that. Best margherita pizza I've had in America? YES. Would I wait 2 hours for it? NO. As a benchmark against known locations, I would say that Bianco margherita is definitely way better than Mozza & 800 Degrees.
Oh yeah, TOOL FUCKING KILLED IT. They busted out No Quarter for the first time in 17 years...dressed as Led Zeppelin. And like, a 10 minute version of Opiate to boot.
