When arriving at ASU for the first time, it's hard to believe how much opportunity is really before you. We tend to get caught up in our own individual work and study circles. As we begin to make and develop friendships we start to forget how vast the world is. This University offers so much that there is something for everybody no matter what their interests might be; sometimes it's making art out of bookbinding, sometimes it's hosting DIY house shows, sometimes it's sports and sometimes it's something completely different.

With a cast of big name actors like the great comedian Bill Murray, action star Bruce Willis, girl-next-door Kate Hudson and quirky Zooey Deschanel, a person would expect a masterpiece on the silver screen.

Re-imagining classics of American literature like Tennessee Williams'"A Streetcar Named Desire" is not an easy task. Years, even decades of performance establish precedents and norms for how the plays should be adapted to the stage. To keep a performance fresh is a feat that takes months of preparation from minds who are given free reign to incorporate their own streaks of originality.

It's sometimes easy to forget that Phoenix is the sixth largest city in the nation by population. Along with this amount of people it is only natural that some will rise as artists, writers, comics, musicians and print-makers.

Today the popularity of the written word is not where it once was. A poetry reading is now something of a novelty; a bizarre interruption from the daily entertainment of TV, Netflix and the Internet. A solo performance by a national poet is strange to us, even intriguing.

When I arrived at the Wavves show early Wednesday night at Crescent Ballroom in downtown Phoenix, the speakers were playing the Dandy Warhols song, "Bohemian Like You." I'm not sure what it was about the song, but it set the mood for the night.
