Erik-- I stumbled upon while visiting the AZ FRAG forum. Don't know how long its been open. What I like and read about though is a great percentage of the ticket cost goes to save marine life in the oceans. So to me, its a great deal even if its expensive. Any money that go back in to conservation is a great thing!

Steff--Yeah, its the one in Mills mall right of the 10 and broadway. It wasn't that great ? I am still going to pay it a visit. There is another one opening up in Scottsdale but no time frame of when that is going to happen. Here is the link:

I want to say it was like 18 dollars a ticket!!!! Yeah it was clean and awesome but you know Hans i am a coral guy and there was not much in that department. I remember that mall, since i picked up a nice pair of Oakleys from the Vault!!!! :)

Jay--that would be great to have a STARS meeting there. They have not started the preliminary building plans, they just got approval from the BIA to place this structure on their land. So it is still gonna be at least 3-5 years before it is built. Here is a quote from them:

"After five years of negotiating with the bureau of Indian affairs we finally received a lease for the land at 101 and Via De Ventura. We are working with the architects and engineers now and looking for some more investors. Anyone who would like more info can e-mail Max at seatusk@......"
