Professional Bull Riders, Inc. is an international professional bull riding organization based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. PBR events are televised on Versus, FOX and NBC. More than 800 cowboys, from the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Australia, and Mexico hold PBR memberships.

The organization began in 1992 through the efforts of 20 professional bull riders, who each contributed $1000. Since that time, the organization has grown to include four tours which collectively stage over 100 events a year. Prize money has exploded from $250,000 in 1994 to over $10 million in 2006.

The PBR’s premier tour, the Built Ford Tough Series, includes 31 events across the country every year. Pyrotechnics, pulsating music and special effects open each event, and each features the top 45 riders in the world at the time. Riders attempt to stay on a bucking bull for eight seconds, and rides are judged based on both the rider’s and the bull’s performance. At the end of each event, the top 15 riders compete in the short round, or “short go”; the rider with the highest point total from the entire event becomes the winner.

Total viewership, including event attendees and the television audience, grew 51.93 percent between 2002 and 2004. In 2004, 16.4 million fans watched or attended a PBR event.

Singer/songwriter John Mayer has an upcoming tour stop in the Phoenix area. (No, it’s not spelled Mayor, Mare, Maher, or Maier…) I doubt he’s bringing Jessica Simpson with him though. His Wikipedia entry says this:

John Clayton Mayer (born on October 16, 1977) is an American Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and guitarist. Originally from Connecticut, he briefly attended Berklee College of Music before moving to Atlanta, Georgia in 1998, where he refined his skills and began gaining a following. After originally performing mainly acoustic rock, in 2005 he made a transition towards the blues genre with the formation of the John Mayer Trio. The blues influence can also be seen on his latest studio album Continuum, which was released on September 12, 2006. Mayer won two Grammy awards for Pop Vocal Album for Continuum and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for “Waiting on the World to Change” at the 49th Grammy Awards in February 2007.

After playing the guitar for several years, Mayer enrolled in the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, at the age of nineteen. After two semesters, he chose to cut his studies short in favor of a move to Atlanta, Georgia, with his college friend and bandmate, Clay Cook. They began their career in earnest there, quickly making a name for the two-man band, LoFi Masters. They frequented the local coffeehouse and club circuit in venues like Eddie’s Attic. After the band LoFi Masters split due to creative differences, Mayer began his solo career. With the help of local producer/engineer Glenn Matullo, Mayer recorded the independent EP Inside Wants Out. Cook is also cited as the co-writer of many of the songs from the album, most notably, the ballad “Comfortable.”

You gotta hand it to the folks at Disney — they know how to promote their cra… err… stuff. They have created a newish batch of that stuff in the form of High School Musical - The Concert. If I have this right, I guess this is the traveling road show of the made for tv movie that my 9 year old daughter and her friends were very interested in called High School - The Musical, or High School Musical or something. I couldn’t bring myself to watch it but based on the ads it looks like dreamy hoops star longs to sing or some such nonsense. I’m sure drama and hilarity abounded…

Ahhhh — there’s nothing more refreshing than coming in from a 115 degree parking lot to see a ice hockey game! And that’s what you often get here in Phoenix when you’re a Coyotes fan. The Coyotes are always a fun time even if tickets are sometimes hard to come by. The Phoenix Coyotes wiki says this:

The Coyotes were a hot ticket in Phoenix in the late ’90s, and had superb attendance. However, America West Arena soon proved to be an inadequate location for an NHL team. Several seats were obstructed because the arena’s floor was not designed with a hockey rink in mind, unlike most modern arenas. Seating capacity had to be cut down to 16,000 — the second-smallest in the league at the time — after the first season. Even then, a stretch of the upper deck that actually hung over the ice, obstructing the views of around 3,000 spectators. Some fans even claimed that they saw where the concrete had been sheared off to create retractable seats for hockey. After attempts failed either to renovate America West or build an arena in Scottsdale, the Coyotes built Glendale Arena, which they moved into in 2003. Simultaneously, the Coyotes changed their logo and uniforms, heeding to hockey purists, but disappointing many Coyotes fans.

If you are looking for Coyotes tickets and are having any trouble getting the seats you want from the box office here are the aftermarket sources I’ve discovered that seem to be the best bet:

- These guys have a solid inventory and usually the best prices for brokers
- These guys always have lots of tickets and let you sell as well as buy.
- These guys often have the biggest selection of Phoenix Coyotes tickets.

Who knows, maybe this is the year Coach Gretzky and the Coyotes break through and win the West. It’s bound to happen some time right?
