I think the Carpenters said it best...
We've only just begun, to live,
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way.
And yes, We've just begun.
Before the rising sun we fly,
So many roads to choose
We start our walking and learn to run.
And yes, We've just begun.
Sharing horizons that are new to us,
Watching the signs along the way,
Talking it over just the two of us,
Working together day to day
Together.
And when the evening comes we smile,
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow,
And yes, We've just begun.

I say GOOD for the Yucca Tap Room. When I was younger and lived in Tempe, I went to shows at the Lucky Dragon, Gibson's, Nita's, Long Wong's, but I still trekked out to the Modified too.
There is no Winner, and there is no Loser. If there is a good show, people will go to it, no matter where it is.
With ASU campus in the downtown phoenix we have seen a surge in the downtown area that is most noticable at first fridays. It is also noticed at Trunkspace and other downtown places. I think its about time an all ages venue pops up in Tempe it's been needed for quite awhile for all the Tempe ASU kids.
Message board?
This is The Shizz.
Chromelodeon manages to get all the furniture from their hotel into the lake a few years back...and people are worried about shizzies?

I go to shows that I like. I dont give a fuck where they are.
Tempe has always had a hard on for its self.

Very true. Metal shows are more of a Tempe thing, thanks to the Clubhouse.It also matters a lot what you're into.

I take the opinions of shizz members any day over some hack journalist from a free weekly.
Let's not get carried away...

It also matters a lot what you're into. I haven't played at/been to a show at modified in years, I have no idea what goes on there. The Yucca will hurt Phoenix in that bigger all ages shows typically at the phix will likely be in Tempe now, but good. The Phix sucks (thanks for ruining Trap Them for me). Places like Trunkspace will continue to do well though, I'm sure.
YEA! i am not very psyched on shows at the Phix.
Really, what is the difference between Tempe and Phoenix as far as shows, they are a couple strip malls and a freeway ride away from each other, and most people have to commute across the valley to go to shows anyway, Its the VALLEY music scene. Too bad Tempe and Downtown Phoenix aren't sperated by industrial plaza's and an airport, but they are. Like Mikey said, you go where the show is.
