Happy Friday everybody. Who’s ready to Rock the Waterfront? Yes, grab your skin-tight designer jeans, don your finest bandeezy, and get ready to flick your Bic, because famed rocker/Reality TV star, Bret Michaels is hosting a blowout concert tonight at the Scottsdale Waterfront. And we’re giving away a free pair of tix to see it all live.

Originally known as the pretty-boy singer of the iconic 80′s hair band, Poison, Michaels has reinvented himself as a TV star with a series of (skeevy-but-silly) dating shows on MTV, and then taking home the top prize on “Celebrity Apprentice.” (Speaking of which, The Donald might be the only man in America with a more mysterious hairline than the permanently bandana-clad Michaels.)

All teasing aside, Michaels (who’s been a part-time Valley resident for years) has proven to be real sweetheart thanks to his new show featuring his darling daughters, as well his work for local charities. In fact, the entire Rock the Waterfront concert is a fundraiser for Phoenix Children’s Hospital and The Boys & Girls Club of Scottsdale.

So, wanna win tix to tonight’s big show? Simply add your name to the comments board below, and we’ll randomly pick a winner. But hurry, the contest ends at 3 pm.

Do you hear that revving sound? That’s the sound of lead-footed gear heads from around the world burning rubber into North Scottsdale. Yes, it’s car auction week here in the Valley as no less than five major auto extravaganzas (RM, Gooding and Co., Russo and Steele, Silver Auctions and Barrett-Jackson) will be dropping the gavel on some $100M worth of rare collector cars.

That said, there’s no doubt that the biggest and baddest AZ auction is still the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Event at Scottsdale’s WestWorld, which kicked off its 40th anniversary event this Wednesday. And since it’s been a weird day for Barrett-Jackson, we thought we’d bring you some positive news: a Q&A with famed Rocker, and part-time Valley resident, Bret Michaels, who will be appearing tomorrow at the Scottsdale-based auction.
