I got to interview two ex-Wildcat basketball players, Nick Johnson and Kaleb Tarczewski, better known as “Zeus.” They were at Johnson’s basketball camp.

When he was at Arizona, Nick chose jersey number 13 because his father Joey Johnson had that number when he played.

I asked them what made them want to do a basketball camp for kids. Nick said he had always wanted to give back. He explained that the idea really came into action one day after a game, and Zeus tagged along with him. They seem like cool friends!

I got to meet the voice of the Wildcats, Brian Jeffries.

Jeffries said it had always been his dream to be the voice of the Wildcats. He said it’s kind of challenging to travel with the team.
He loves all sports and said that it was the greatest feeling to go to his first national championship.

Out of the 1,500 games he has called, which were the most memorable?

He said for football, it was Arizona against Oklahoma. In basketball, it was when Arizona beat North Carolina in the Final Four. For baseball, it was when Arizona went to both national championships.

Richie Rich of Richie Rich World was the headliner at Tucson Fashion Week in October.

He remembered me from a fashion show at Hotel Congress in July. I asked him what he has been working on since then. He told me he’s working with Monster Headphones and Beats from Dr. Drew on new headphones and phone chargers. Rich also went to China and Hong Kong to look for factories to work along with factories here in America.

In October, I went to a concert at Club X-S with my mom. The band we went to see was “Nothing More.”

Our night started off by getting VIP access. We were given two posters for the band to autograph. We also got a lanyard with a pass that said “Nothing more VIP.”

When we entered the club, the band was in the middle of their sound check. The sound check was fun and the band sounded amazing.

After the sound check, we stood in line to meet the band and have pictures taken with them. They were so nice!

Aspiring fashion designers, you must attend Tucson Fashion Week.

I attended the October show that featured some local designers. The fashion show was held at the Museum of Contemporary Art Downton. There was a backdrop with sponsors on it just like the red carpet you see on TV.

I spoke with Quinlan Wilhite of QMulative. He said his grandmother showed him how to sew. He began his fashion design career at the age of 24.
