You will probably have better luck with the ss/fixed gear forum. The only person here who I know both lives in phx and rides a fixie is noisebeam, and he also freqents the ss/fixed gear forum.

Welcome to Phx constantine.
As you've already figured out its a great place for fixed - all flat.
There are a good number of fixed gear riders here in the Valley, although I've only met ~3 online here and two in person who don't visit the forums.
I'm primarily a commuter, but ride (mostly fixed) with fast recreational roadies on weekends. I don't get into the 'fixie' scene (nothing wrong with it, just haven't sourced it) - more into long 'roadie type' rides and less on 'fixed tricks'
Domenics Cycling in Tempe started a fixed gear ride Sat. mornings, but was put on hold during the winter to my disapointment. I've never joined them, but I imagine you can meet other fixed riders there. They said they will restart in a couple weeks and I hope to join a ride.

I'm always up for a ride too, PM me - I've been in PM contact with a couple other local BikeForum fixed riders and have talked about going for rides, but haven't yet done it. If we keep talking about it, someday we might

Al
ps- you may want to edit your phn. number out as anyone is the world can get it here and will soon show up on internet searches.
