11 THINGS YOU NEED IN YOUR FIRST DORM ROOM MADELEINE WILLIAMSON • COLLEGE TIMES

M

oving into your first dorm room is an emotional experience for anyone. Most students are excited to finally be free from their parents and are nervous to meet their roommate, but afraid to live on their own. While all these emotions are running their course, many students forget to think about essentials they’ll need to live in their tiny new home. We’re here to remind you of things you should have in your first dorm room to make it homey, fun and sensible.

#11 • A FAN With Arizona’s hot climate and long afternoons, a fan is necessary if you want to keep cool. We recommend Lasko’s 6-inch personal fan, a desktop fan that is quiet and has a built-in storage compartment for items such as paper clips. With two different speeds and the ability to have its airflow directed, the Lasko 6-inch is handy to have in any personal space. Its compact size makes it easy to fit the fan on any surface top such as a desk, nightstand or counter. They are carried at Lowe’s and Walmart for about $14.95.

#10 • THE BIG ONE GLITTER & POM INFLATABLE CHAIR Yes, most dorms include the basic necessities when it comes to furniture. However, college can be stressful and a place to sit back and relax will be necessary for you to get through your daily struggles of navigating the real world. The Big One Glitter & Pom Inflatable Chair is not only a decorative asset for your room but can be easily stored as well.

Because it’s an inflatable, you can effortlessly fold or squish your chair to fit in any tight space, which is essential for college life. The chair is light as well, making it a breeze to 4 ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | JULY 2019

carry for long distances for example, through the parking lot or up those never-ending stairs to your dorm room. The chairs come in various sizes and are available at Bed, Bath and Beyond stores for about $25 or online.

You can even order an equally sparkly matching ottoman.

#9 • AN EXTENDED-LENGTH PHONE CHARGER The power outlets in your dorm room may not be in the most convenient places, so it’s important to stay prepared. Investing in an extra-long phone charger is a smart move. It could mean the difference between bending a charger funny or not doing it at all.

#8 • THE LAUNDRY BASKET All things have a place, and everything should be in that place, including your dirty laundry. A dedicated place for laundry will not only help you keep your dirty clothes separated from the clean ones, but will also keep your room organized. Having your own laundry basket is crucial when it comes to coping with the inevitable — finally being responsible for doing your own laundry.

#7 • BASIC MEDICINES Yes, you are finally living on your own. No, that does not mean you are invincible,

housing guide especially when it comes to the common cold. Basic medicines — Advil, Aleve, cold and flu medicines — are vital to have in your dorm room to maintain your health.

You never know when your immune system might fail you, so be ready. Preparing a small bag with basic medicines will help you with any illness that may try to strike you down. Do not forget them.

’S

#6 • SNACKS Even if you have an unlimited food card, that card doesn’t work from your room. Keeping snacks in your room will cover appetite.

A hungry person is not a happy one, hence the term “hangry.” Help yourself and those around you by making sure you have something you can eat when you need it.

#5 • SMALL VACUUM The more cleaning supplies the better. A small, handheld vacuum is easy to store and perfect for cleaning your small new habitat. Besides avoiding the hassle of owning a broom and dustpan, a small vacuum is nice for cleaning the crumbs that have fallen into your bed from all those midnight snacks.

#4 • WATER Above all things to store in your room, water is a necessity — after all, you can’t live without it. Cases of water or water jugs are handy to have in supply. With temperatures that can reach over 110 in Arizona, hydration is crucial to maintaining good health.

#3 • TRASH CAN Makeup wipes, tissue, wrappers, papers, gum wrappers, tags, burntout highlighters, receipts, packaging, expired food, to-go boxes, single earrings, Q-tips. With that said, make sure you have a trash can. You definitely need one, for your roommate’s sake.

#2 • THE MICROWAVE You’re going to have to learn to cook eventually, why not start with a microwave? A microwave is essential for making quick and easy meals, and can be easily stored in a dorm room. Watch your food go around and around and discover a whole new world of nourishment. Before long you’ll be a microwaveable food expert.

#1 • A COMPUTER Lastly, you will need a computer. Besides the obvious, they are nice to have for keeping up with the latest TV shows and celebrity blogs, doing school work, and storing photos. Mostly however, you will need a computer to look up places to find things you probably forgot to bring to your dorm room. CT

MOVE LIKE A PRO

FORMER SUN DEVIL OFFERS TIPS TO EASE THE TRANSITION TO AN APARTMENT

CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI • COLLEGE TIMES

M

oving into your first apartment is exciting, but the process of physically moving your things into your new space can be tedious. In addition to the blistering summer temperatures, you will also need to move heavy, awkward, breakable items that can cause injury if you’re not careful.

Muscular Moving Men & Storage, cofounded by 2006 ASU graduate Justin Hodge, knows these challenges well. The business started with just Hodge, a friend and a trailer. Today, it has moved more than 20,000 homes in 11 years and has sage advice for newbies looking to make the move themselves.

Pack wisely A rookie moving mistake is to pack heavy items in large boxes.

Loading all of your books into one box might be easier as you’re packing, but when it comes to moving it, you will be in a world of hurt.

Heavier items should be packed in small boxes; lighter items should be reserved for larger boxes.

Be sure all of your items are protected in transit. Delicate items should be packed in bubble wrap or packing paper to minimize any impact the box will experience during the move. Furniture should be wrapped in plastic wrap and/ or moving blankets to prevent bumps, scratches and stains that occur during the move.

Once boxes are packed, label the contents and the room’s destination. If you are using a moving company, the labels will make it easier for the movers to place the items in the correct room. If you’re

moving yourself, the labels will help you easily identify which boxes to open first.

Start your move early in the morning It might be hard to get out of bed before the sun rises, but it is best to get started on your move before the heat sets in. Move large, heavy items first thing in the morning and save the smaller, lighter boxes for later in the day.

College move-ins often happen on the same day — the first of the month. If you are moving into an apartment complex popular with college students, moving early in the morning will also help you avoid getting tied up by other residents moving in that day.

Make sure the essentials are ready The last thing you want to do is spend the day moving, only to realize that you don’t have electricity or running water. Make sure all utilities are on before you move into your new space. Essential household items should also be on hand for the move, including drinking water, snacks, hand soap, paper towels and toilet paper.

Muscular Moving Men knows that toilet paper is one of the most commonly forgotten items in the initial phases of a move, which is why the company always

6 ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | JULY 2019

gives a roll to its clients at the end of a move.

Book ahead of time Summer is the busiest moving season, with an estimated 80% of household moves taking place between April and September. If you plan on booking a moving company or self-moving truck, be sure to do so far in advance before those services are booked up.

Same goes if you plan on renting equipment like dollies, moving blankets and lifting straps.

Bring the right tools The right tools can be the difference between horrific and easy moves. A olly will help you easily move large furniture from the truck to your apartment. Moving blankets can help pad your furniture to resist damage by absorbing the shock of an impact. Lifting mech-

anisms like the Forearm Forklift Lifting Straps can be used to move furniture up to 700 pounds with the help of a buddy.

Know when to call the professionals If you can’t bribe your buddies or family with pizza to help you move, or if the move is particularly challenging, you might want to call in a professional moving company to do it for you. Shop around to find a mover that is licensed and bonded in the state of Arizona and within your price range. Don’t be fooled by lowball prices on websites like Craigslist. A cheap move can be costly in the long run if there is damage to your property, and very low rates may not bring the highest tier of movers to your door. CT

Want the help of a fellow Sun Devil? Muscular Moving Men can help. Muscular Moving Men & Storage’s team of mover-athletes can take the move off your hands with a licensed, bonded, professional and customer-friendly approach. To schedule service or get an estimate from Muscular Moving Men & Storage, visit muscularmovingmen.com or call 1-877-434-8668.

HOW TO COEXIST WITH FOUR STUDENTS YOU’LL MEET IN COLLEGE DAVE CLARK • COLLEGE TIMES

H

igh school graduates attend college to learn skills that will better position them for success in the workforce. The most important lessons the college experience delivers, however, is learning how to live and coexist with others.

Sharing a small dorm with very different personalities can be a life-changing experience.

Let’s chat about the behavior model DISC, which illustrates potential dorm room situations and struggles roommates may have.

DISC is made up of four distinct behavioral factors: dominance, influence, steadiness and compliance.

Dave, the D Dave is the dominant. He is very results-oriented and direct with his communication. He is quick to take on a problem or challenge and is more focused on the outcome than the process. He might lose interest if the task does not give him the results he wants.

Isabella, the I Isabella is the influencer. She loves people and is energized in the presence of others. She’s all about making connections, and may occasionally skip a class if there’s a good party to attend. A social butterfly, Isabella can easily become distracted from the task at hand.

Sam, the S Steady Sam likes stability. He doesn’t get too excitable and likes to maintain the status quo. Patient, loyal and reliable, he generally likes to be around people, as long as he is not put on the spot to make any impromptu decisions.

Cherie, the C Cherie takes her time to get things right. She’s a bit of a perfectionist with her compliance behavioral preference. She’s a direct communicator who likes facts and details so she can be as accurate as possible.

need for constant conversation may become problematic to Cherie. Isabella and Dave may vie for the attention of the group.

Dave and Isabella’s pace may wear thin on Sam who likes to take things slow. Sam may stress out whenever he is asked to make an on-the-spot decision on where to eat or what to do without being given ample time to consider his options. Cherie will eventually take exception to Dave’s lack of follow through. Sam and Isabella may be put off with Dave and Cherie’s direct style of communication, preferring a less direct communication approach.

Putting unique and different behavioral styles under one roof can be a recipe for successes and challenges. Roommates with different styles can grow from each other’s experiences as long as they learn how to overcome their differences.

It all starts with an understanding of the behavioral style each person possesses and adapting to it. By recognizing the differences and adapting accordingly, roommates can find common ground and coexist happily and productively.

Dave Clark is with TTI Success Insights in Scottsdale. CT

Where they will connect Dave and Cherie, both possessing direct communication styles, will get straight to the point in their communication. Cherie is detail-oriented and complements Dave’s fast pace and tendency to overlook minor details. Sam’s relaxed behavior will help him get along with all the roommates. His ability to outwardly accept other behavioral styles gives Sam an advantage when it comes to relating to others. Isabella will be welcoming and strive to connect with her roommates as quickly as possible.

Where they will clash Keeping the apartment organized may be difficult for Isabella and Cherie. Cherie likes things just so, while order and organization are not Isabella’s priority. Isabella’s

Avoiding Burnout While Balancing a Job and Full Course Load Stress is present just about everywhere, including college campuses. In small doses, stress can act as a fuel to power us through various tasks. When there is no outlet for stress, it becomes toxic and leads to burnout.

Recognizing that you are dealing with burnout is the first step to recovery. When you are in a state of burnout, the most important thing to do is to ask for help. Since burnout is a negative state-ofmind, you want to avoid negative influences. Try the following to help you lessen stress and regain control over your situation: • Distance yourself from negative people • Avoid short-term pleasures such as nicotine and alcohol • Take time away from your source of stress • Find balance in your life • Eat healthier and take a walk • Spend less time on your smartphone Working these things into your life can bring significant, positive change in how you feel. You’ll be amazed at how your attitude will improve. Remember, you need to take care of yourself before you can take care of anything or anyone else.

INTERIOR DESIGN ON A BUDGET On the news, we hear how great the economy is doing. This is great news. But that doesn’t mean we should ignore the smart practices we have used in the past. These money saving ideas can help us to stretch our dollars to get the most value for our hard-earned money.

Companies like IRCA have great services and products that will hold up for years and not cost you a metaphorical arm and a leg.

IRCA is family owned and operated. Their main business is refurbishing Resorts all over the Valley and throughout the USA. These 4- and 5-Star Resorts (Marriott, Hyatt, Westin, Hilton, Sheraton, Radisson, Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons…) are renovated every 5 to 7 years.

These high-end properties don’t use cheap furniture. Resorts purchase from manufacturers like Drexel and Henredon, which are brands that are found at the most expensive furniture stores. When resorts update their properties, all that quality furniture must go somewhere. The furniture has many years of use left on each item. Instead of wasting away in landfills, IRCA gives these quality commercial furniture items a second life in both homes and businesses.

Below are samples of what all they have to offer: Check these guys out. They are very friendly and will help you with your design needs! Below is a list of items I saw during my last visit:

Living Room Sets. These sets start at $299.50. You get a Sofa Sleeper, 2 Arm Chairs, Coffee Table and 2 Side Tables.

Patio Chairs, Loungers, Outdoor Heaters, Tables of all sizes, Ottomans, Umbrellas, and Teak Furniture.

Bedroom Sets. These sets start at $299.50. You get a Headboard, Mattress & Box Spring, 2 Nightstands, & a Dresser.

Dining Room Set. These sets start at $129.50. You get a Dining Table, & 4 Chairs.

Carpet. Because of all the Resort work IRCA does in flooring, they can offer outstanding prices to the public. Right now, IRCA sells Carpet starting at 99 cents a square foot. There are many colors to choose from.

Blinds. IRCA designs and installs blinds of all types for both Residential and Commercial use. Because IRCA deals with window coverings in a large volume, their pricing beats the big box stores. Also, they offer a better-quality commercial product which will last longer in our hot Arizona summers.

Wood Porcelain Tile. This is a very popular look! My friend had it installed in her home and it holds up against the constant abuse of her pets. There is no risk of water damage, which many have suffered with a regular wood floor. She loves the cool tile on her feet and the sophisticated look the wood porcelain.

Many colors to choose from! Starting at $1.49 per sq. ft.

Lamps. IRCA has an impressively large selection of lamps to light up your life! Quality heavy lamps starting at $10.00. You get to choose your lampshade, harp, and finial to go with your lamp purchase. Many styles have either a plug-in or a USB hookup. Can’t believe all the options!

Reupholstery is how IRCA first was born. They started out using the back of the owner’s truck as their workroom in the early 70’s. They still do a lot of reupholstery business all over the Valley, the USA, and even in the Caribbean.

It is impossible to describe what all IRCA has to offer on this small page.

Their inventory changes daily from the demands of the many Resorts here in the Phoenix Valley. Check out their Facebook to see new items. You can also join their email list to get updates a couple times a month.

There are many styles to choose from. There are recliners, armchairs, sofa sleepers, loveseats, end tables, coffee tables, and sofa tables. They even had a twin sleeper sofa.

IRCA has bookshelves, tv stands, table lamps, floor lamps, pictures, accessories, fridges, washers and dryers, and televisions. They have an impressive number and styles of mattresses and box springs to choose from. Included in the bedroom area are of course headboards, dressers, sheets, pillows, bedframes, and nightstands. I loved their collection of dining room tables and chairs. There were styles with and without arms, and some with wheels. I bought an entire set of Sant’ Andrea dishes when I was there last to go with my new table set.

Going to IRCA is truly like a treasure hunt, I never know what bargains I am going to find. You will find just about everything you would see in a resort; IRCA even gives away free Bibles.

Stop wasting your hard-earned CA$H!

Designing Woman ANTHEM CHAMBER INTERN STITCHING HER WAY TO THE TOP CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI • COLLEGE TIMES

A

bby Davis is one of those multihyphenate talents.

She’s an intern with the Anthem Area Chamber of Commerce. She is an ASU powerlifter and a fashion student. The incoming sophomore easily balances it, using powerlifting as her stress reliever.

“Fashion is the one thing that’s been so consistent in my life,” the 19-year-old Anthem resident says.

“When I was super little, 5 or 6, I cut up my own clothes and stapled them to my dolls.

“Once I got to high school, I just expanded my horizons with sewing. I took part in a couple camps before that, but outside of it I am self-taught.”

While she attended Boulder Creek High School, Davis designed her friends’ homecoming dresses.

She still creates her own wardrobe.

Davis’ designs are showcased on the second floor of Scottsdale Fashion Square in an ASU Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts-sponsored display through late August.

“It is so exciting,” Davis says.

“They only chose five freshmen and I was one of them out of 300 kids.”

Davis chose fashion as her major for one reason: “You really only live once.”

“I didn’t want to go through my

entire life wishing I had trusted my gut,” Davis adds. “I’m so confident in my abilities. I will find success through this field.”

She’s well on her way. After graduating in 2022, Davis plans to travel to New York to earn her master’s degree. However, first, she’ll study abroad in France and in either the Czech Republic or Italy.

“The school in Prague is so prestigious,” Davis says. “My parents took a trip there when I was a senior in high school. They met a lady in a fabric shop and bought the fabric I used for my prom dress. She was so ecstatic to hear of someone so young at a level people don’t get to until they’re in their 30s.

“She was so impressed by someone so young that she offered me an internship at her fabric store.

She has high-end fabrics like Dolce & Gabbana.”

Davis, who wasn’t on the trip, calls the gift of fabric “the most incredible present” from her parents.

“They are so supportive,” she says. “I would have not been able to do anything without their support. They bought my first sewing machine, recognized my talent and encouraged me to go for it.”

She started her label, Abigail Elizabeth Design, at age 16, and ordered business cards and tags,

To hone her business skills, Davis is interning this summer at the Anthem Area Chamber of Commerce. She loves the atmosphere and is impressed with the staff’s willingness to answer her questions.

“I absolutely love it,” she says.

“I wanted to expand my experience in the fashion industry. Granted, the chamber has nothing to do with fashion, but it helps with business sense. It’s local. It was super convenient and a great opportunity.”

Davis has lived in Arizona since the eighth

grade, when she moved here from Utah with her family. At Boulder Creek, she continued her softball career and used weight training as a strengthening exercise. As an ASU freshman, she joined the powerlifting team. In January, she participated in her first meet and took second. At the end of August, she’ll stay in the Valley for the USA Powerlifting Southwest Regional Championships.

“I’m going in expecting to break records,” she says. “Powerlifting is so much fun. It’s something to do to keep me fit and busy. It’s a good stress reliever, too.”

ASU was a logical decision after it began offering a fashion degree a few years ago. She also chose to stay in-state because of tuition and to avoid “financial ruin before I’m making any real money.”

“It’s perfect timing, with the fashion degree program starting a couple years ago,” she says. “The professors are making my dreams come true.” CT

JIM LOUVAU

A PEEK INSIDE THE PLAYLISTS OF PHOENIX’S MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI • COLLEGE TIMES

P

hoenix-based photographer Jim Louvau recently hosted a successful opening reception of his Chester Bennington exhibit at the MonOrchid downtown. Among the visitors was the late Linkin Park singer’s mother.

The show was so successful the gallery and Louvau have extended the showing until July 12 at no charge. For more information, visit monorchid.com.

We turned the spotlight to Louvau and asked him about his favorite tunes.

TOP SIX FAVORITE SONGS David Bowie, “Space Oddity” The simple but very melancholy first notes on the guitar immediately take me to a different place and when Bowie’s soft but stern vocal comes in it really does give you a feeling like something from out of this world is about to happen and it does. The storytelling is straight forward but it paints such telling picture of the Major Tom character. It’s also how I’ll envision Bowie forever.

Nine Inch Nails, “Terrible Lie” (Live Version) Nothing in my entire life affected me as a teenager and young musician the way this song did when I saw it live for the first time in 1994.

The original version on “Pretty Hate Machine”

doesn’t have the same fury the live version does or the cast of characters that join Reznor onstage. The live performance of the track also made me a huge fan of guitarist Robin Finck who puts his signature sauce all over the outro.

After I saw this for the first time, I knew I wanted to make rock/metal music with electronic elements sprinkled on it like a grenade coming out of a children’s jack-in-the-box toy.

Radiohead, “Weird Fishes/Arpeggi” Radiohead is my favorite band of all time because they’ve only gotten better after their debut record. This song really climaxes in the bridge and always makes me nod my head up and down like Thom Yorke does. It’s also a special song to me because it reminds me of when my wife and I first started dating when I lived in a tiny one-bedroom apartment in Tempe.

Marilyn Manson, “Angel with the Scabbed Wings” This is Manson’s best track in his catalog, it’s also his best opening song live. During the “Antichrist Superstar” tour, it was the first glimpse of chaos that my friends and I saw during those historical shows. The song itself has so much attitude, metal riffage, and the lyrics encapsulate who Manson is on and off stage and it makes you feel like you need a shower after taking it in, but you’d rather just soak in the filth.

Guns N’ Roses, “Estranged” Slash’s finest moment on guitar, his lead on the chorus is even more powerful than Axl’s vocal melody and words, which is hard to do. It sounds like Slash is making the guitar speak like a vocal would throughout the song. That combination along with lyrics that sound like Axl is reading directly from dark pages in his diary make the 9-plus minute song the highlight of the band that originally made me be in a band.

Metallica, “Creeping Death” (Live Version) “Creeping Death” live with Jason Newsted handling backing vocals took

14 ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | JULY 2019

the song from being just another cool track on “Ride the Lightning” to a chanting/metal singalong at shows during his tenure with Metallica.

Newsted’s energy on stage really shined when he sang the “die” lyric over and over again during the bridge when they played it live.

Even though Lars usually played it too fast, it brought new life to the song. These guys were the ones who got me into metal, and this was the best kind of introduction.

PREFERRED WAY OF LISTENING AND WHY? On a jukebox inside a dive bar after a few drinks. This is the most comfortable way for me to wind down, turn my head off and enjoy the artists that shaped me as a human.

Desert Island Album Pink Floyd “The Wall”

WHAT ARTIST WOULD PROVIDE THE SOUNDTRACK FOR THE MOVIE ABOUT YOUR LIFE? Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails.

FAVORITE SONG BY AN ARTIST FROM YOUR COUNTRY? Nine Inch Nails “Terrible Lie” (Live Version)

GO-TO GUILTY PLEASURE TRACK OR CLASSIC KARAOKE TUNE? Guilty pleasure is pretty much anything by Taylor Swift, her songs are as catchy as a cold.

My karaoke go-to is “Stop Dragging’ My Heart Around” by Stevie Nicks, but only with my best friend/bandmate Andy Gerold and I trading off the Nicks/Petty vocals. I usually do the Stevie parts, which can either go one way or the other depending how late we show up to the bar. CT

A SLICE OF HEAVEN AFTER A FACELIFT, PIZZA JOINT HAS BIG PLANS FOR ASU STUDENTS SHANE CROWE • COLLEGE TIMES

A

fter closing its doors in March, a Tempe late-night staple reopened the following month under a new name, ownership and look.

Judy Krause and Nate Cruz brought Slices on Mill back to life after working with the restaurant’s previous owners for more than a decade.

“We basically ran that company for a long time,” says Cruz, who also managed the Slices Pizza at Tempe Marketplace for eight years. “The owners were kind of absentee owners, so we knew we could do it.”

Krause was introduced to Slices

Pizza when it was a client of her bookkeeping service. Krause and Cruz formed an LLC three years ago in case they had the opportunity to take over the restaurant.

“We talked about it over the years,” Krause says.

“We both felt that we would be able to do this and handle it because we knew the business so well.”

With the change of ownership comes an updated menu, logo and interior. The restaurant features gluten-free options, such as a cauliflower crust pizza, in addition to a myriad of traditional and experimental East Coast-style pizzas.

Slices range from $3 to $3.49 and whole pies, depending on size and the number of toppings, range from $14 to $22.50.

Cruz has started using new ingredients, which he believes, result in a better product.

“It looks better and it’s easier to eat,” Krause said of the pizza. “At some pizza places, you can’t even eat the crust. At this one you want to, it’s that good.”

As for décor, the green linoleum and yellow walls gave way to new tiling and a fresh sea blue coat of paint.

“This place hadn’t been updated in probably 15 or 20 years,” Cruz says. “It was pretty bad.”

The restaurant has also been revamped behind the counter with a newly added vegetable washing sink, a repaired oven, new plumbing and a new refrigerated prep

table. The floors were redone after years of wear left holes where the kitchen staff stood.

In addition to these changes, Slices on Mill offers delivery through Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub.

“The community has been very, very receptive,” Cruz says.

“We’ve maintained the same regular customers that have been coming here for years but everybody’s happy with the upgrades.”

Construction on Mill Avenue, which continues through August, has been the biggest challenge, according to the pair. However, Krause used it as an opportunity to hand out menus to the construction workers. As a result, the lunch crowd grew.

“They’re the first ones in the door,” Cruz says. “They take their lunch early so they’re waiting out there at 10:30 some days.”

Slices on Mill experienced another spike in business after joining the Tempe Chamber of Commerce and hosting a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The absence of students in Tempe during the summer generally slows business. Slices on Mill, however, is keeping relatively busy and has plans for a Fourth of July special and other events.

“We do have to get through summer,” Krause says. “Not being a cookie-cutter pizza place really helps,” Cruz adds.

The duo is planning to host a block party in conjunction with CASA, a neighboring bar, in celebration of the first ASU football game of the fall.

“Once school gets back in session, we’re going to jam out,” Cruz says. CT
