“Shake! has moved and is no longer @ Rogue Bar. Starting Saturday Nov 7 Shake! is teaming up with Faux Show to present Cheap Thrills every week @ Black Forest Mill 4900 E Indian School Rd. Spread it.” (From his Facebook Page)

23) Market on Mill -- Every Thursday outside of the MADCAP theaters in Tempe, is a local public market that has been quickly gaining in popularity. Check out some great local farmers and craftspeople (among others) that sell their fare to the masses.
