Travel Tuesday: Saturday Night in Phoenix

A little after 5:30 local time, on the Saturday evening that I was in Phoenix and direct message popped up on Facebook from Urspo's Someone. A free outdoor concert was set to start at 6:00 next to the theater across the corner from the hotel I was staying in.  He would be there as theater staff.  I pulled on some clothes, but not enough, and went across the street.  After sunset and it turned cold in a hurry, I only lasted about half an hour.  The music was fun, the performers were talented and energetic.

  1. Last minute things like that can be terrific fun. Especially for normally very organised people.

  3. Lisa Hightower was wearing the kind of sweater that you should have had on - plus a woolly beanie and gloves.

  7. How fun! I didn't know about the pop up concerts. While you were there, I was going into Symphony Hall, just a block away for the opera. Now I see why traffic was so bad in downtown.

    1. There is a lot going on downtown Phoenix. There might have been a basketball game at the same time only a few blocks away.
