The '''1983 [[Annual Gathering of American Mensa]]''', '''AZAG / Frontiers Old & New''', was held in [[wikipedia:Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix, Arizona]] at the Phoenix Hilton / Hyatt Regency. It lasted from June 15 through June 19. There were 850 attendees. [[Cindy Cielle]] was the AG chairman.

In a famous incident, the tour bus broke down during one of the side trips connected with the gathering, leaving a group of Mensans stranded in the desert until a new bus could be sent. They responded creatively by "founding" the fictional town of Broken Wheel, Arizona. This would be reprised in skits at later AGs, including a "radio show" called ''Desert Home Companion'' which was a homage to ''Prairie Home Companion''.
