Well, not really Phoenix, but Cave Creek and that is close enough. This was the view we woke up to last weekend after a big storm passed through. We drove up to the little fakey Olde Western town near where we live and walked around throwing snowballs at each other. I'll hold onto that memory for summer when the thermometer hits 120.
We missed Bands on Grand last Saturday and unfortunately also missed the Zolar X reunion in L.A., but heard it was fun. I hope they play out here. Hey, if it can snow in Phoenix, then anything is possible, right? Most people write about the exciting things they've done, but I wanted you to experience my boredom vicariously.
Just kidding! I'm never bored. Just depraved. I mean deprived.
Another Women In L.A. Punk Interview is on the way very soon and it's a real treat! Plus, another Bagcast - maybe. We've also added a few new photos to the punk gallery on my website, so check them out if you're interested.
Lots of people writing books these days...keep an eye out for Terry Graham's upcoming book (the working title is "Punk Like Me") and the LONG anticipated collection of photos and stories by JENNY LENS, who was recently 86'd from Whole Foods. What a PUNK!
Not strictly punk related, but another book which promises to be very interesting is Prisoner of X by Class of '77 alumnus Allan MacDonell, all about his sordid life in porn. Sounds like fun!

Looks very pretty where you live. That's not the Phoenix I know!
What a gorgeous photo, Alice! I had no idea you could see something like that in Arizona - learn something new every day, wow!
I was born in Scottsdale (a suburb of Phoenix) in 1969. I have experienced snow many times living here. Nothing that "sticks to the ground" below Carefree, but I have seen snow in the winter plenty of times since 1969. No this is probably not some new, strange, phenomenon at least in my lifetime. Most of the Phoenix valley cities lie within the 1000' evevations. The towns of Carefree and Cave Creek, Antheim, New River are higher elevations to the North, and yes, you will see snow on the ground once in a while in the winter. No, I dont give ANY credo to Al Gore's theories about this AT ALL. Unless his theories go back centuries (much longer than human industrialization could have made a major impact on this planet's atmosphere). Try selling Al Gore's theories to California farmers in 2007. A billion dollar crop may have been lost to cold weather. I saw it snow in North Scottsdale on 1/21/07. It wasn't the first time I have witnessed this. Weather patterns may be changing, but I highly doubt that it is anything besides nature, and something nature has always done, and will do again. Warming trends, drought, blizzards, repeat. Thats nature....Matt from Scottsdale, AZ
