Tucson film company's new comedy ~

"The 3 O'Clock," a comedy short, is Tucson-based Coyote Moon Films's latest project. It was filmed in downtown Tucson and is set in one of the many beautifully restored historic buildings. The screening took place at the Crossroads Festival theatre's "Reel 6," an auditorium devoted to independent films. For more about this funny short and about Coyote Moon Films, check out these links:

Blow some giant bubbles ~

When I saw this yellow metal sculpture on Main at Gallery 801 I immediately thought of the plastic wands that come with bottles of bubbles. Make a wish and blow your cares away ~  have a lovely weekend, everyone!

The sky's the limit ~ fly an F-35

 



What a fantastic experience! Lockheed Martin and Sargent Aerospace hosted a special event to give Tucsonans an up close and personal encounter with the F-35 aircraft. Attendees could try out flying this amazing aircraft in a cockpit simulator. Runway, mountains, then the wild blue yonder ~ https://f35.com/

Our Lady of Guadalupe honored at Velvet Elvis ~

When the Velvet Elvis restaurant opened its doors in December, 1998, it held a procession to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe. Over the bar area are many images of her. Declared an "Arizona Treasure" by former Governor Napolitano, this Patagonia restaurant is well worth the drive. See yesterday's post for more info.

The Velvet Elvis ~

The Velvet Elvis restaurant is famous for its pizza but believe me it is not your typical pizza parlor! In fact, it has been selected as "One of the 25 Best Restaurants in Arizona" so you know you're going to eat well - very well. Pizza is their specialty but they also serve home-made pasta, delicious fresh salads, and calzone. Plus daily specials to give you lots of other choices. Enjoy the beautiful drive to Patagonia and find this small and rustic restaurant on the main street of town. You will want to visit again and again. Oh yes, the Navajo rugs on the walls are available for purchase so it gives the restaurant a gallery feeling.
