Camp Jam, the rock and roll summer camp for kids 11-17 (and Camp Jam Kidz* for 7-10 year-olds) is coming to Phoenix for two sessions June 18-22 and June 25-29. No musical experience is neccessary for Camp Jam Kidz; the older kids are expected to have been playing for at least six months.

The Camp Jam blog has a profile of the Phoenix instructors.

* You know it’s hardcore because of the ‘z’.

Is it all bar news around here this days? Guess so. Esquire’s June issue has their selections for Best Bars in America and two Arizona bars made the cut: the bars at the Hotel Congress (all four of them) in Tucson and La Gitana off in Arivaca.
