Albuquerque to Phoenix.
We spent a whole day in the RV with music blasting, everyone singing along and big laughs the whole way.
That night we had Thai food, then built a campfire. There were stories around the fire and s’mores, obviously. We didn’t call it a night until the last ember died.
Thunder and lightning woke me up again and again.
This morning the fog was so thick I couldn’t see down the road. I walked a mile into it anyway and let the fog envelop everything around me.
Then it was soundcheck. The dressing room had teal green walls and floral wallpaper. A total vibe.
Phoenix, you were right up front, so close you were practically on stage with us. Your energy was felt and heard.
Tomorrow is Vegas, DEADGRACE’s final show of the tour.
One more. Let’s make it loud.
THE ROOM
The Rosetta Room is in downtown Mesa, at First Avenue and Sirrine, from the team behind the Nile Theater down the street. Owner Michelle Donovan built it for the shows and events that didn’t fit the Nile’s main room, its coffee shop or the Underground in its basement, and it opened in June 2025.
The building is about 6,300 square feet, with a 400-person all-ages room on one side and a coffee bar in the east wing as the way in. A friend came up with the name, which ties it to the Nile’s Egyptian theme.
