Locals Arizona Restaurant Week Preview
Locals Arizona Restaurant Week Preview
I feel like Im always apologizing for my sporadic posting but as I know many of you can relate, life gets in the way of these things. Sorry about that. Ive been busy, busy with my other job but wanted to pop over here and share with my local friends that the most edible time of year is fast approaching! Arizona Restaurant Week (May 18th through 27th). ARW gives food lovers the opportunity to enjoy a prix-fixe dinner at a number of participating Arizona restaurants. Seriously, dont miss out on this. Jason and I love to eat out but with two little guys and a limited budget, it doesnt happen as often as we like. ARW is the time of year we make it a point to get out and try a new place - we are never disappointed. Ever.
I was invited to attend a preview the other night (how lucky am I?) and sample some of the offerings from four different valley restaurants who are participating. All of the restaurants were amazing - totally different vibes and I had a blast shooting photos of them.
Taggia
Searsucker
Ben & Jacks Steak House
Davanti Enoteca

Book your sitter and try something new! Trust me - you wont regret it.

London April 21 Amnesty UK Preview Screening of Cruel and Unusual by Vadim Jean
London April 21 Amnesty UK Preview Screening of Cruel and Unusual by Vadim Jean
(Event info from Amnesty UK)
When: Thursday, 21 April 2016 from 18:30 to 21:30 (BST)
Where: Amnesty International UK - 25 New Inn Yard, London EC2A 3EA, United Kingdom
Amnesty International UK is delighted to announce a special UK preview screening of ‘Cruel and Unusual’, a new documentary feature film telling the story of the Angola 3s struggle for justice, fighting their unjust convictions and the cruel and unusual punishment of long term solitary confinement in Louisiana prisons.
After decades imprisoned in a six foot by nine foot cell, Albert Woodfox’s conviction was overturned for the third time and in February 2016 he was finally released from his wrongful imprisonment having spent longer in solitary than any other prisoner in the United States.
His fight for justice and freedom has taken 43 years.
At the screening we will be joined by some incredible speakers who will share their experiences of Albert Woodfox, Herman Wallace, Robert King and their extraordinary cases:
Robert King – a fellow member of the Angola 3 held in solitary for 29 years before his release in 2001 who has campaigned ever since for the release of his comrades.
Vadim Jean – Director of ‘Cruel and Unusual’ and ‘In the Land of the Free’ a 2010 documentary about the Angola 3.
Tessa Murphy – Of Angola3.org who campaigned on Albert and Hermans cases, and who previously led Amnestys international campaigning on the cases and on solitary confinement.
Sam Roddick -- Campaigner and passionate supporter of the Angola 3.
Hosted by Felix Jakens from the Amnesty International UK Individuals at Risk team.
Join us as we celebrate Albert’s freedom and look ahead at the next steps in securing justice for him and the Angola 3 as their struggle against the use of long term solitary confinement in US prisons continues
