Common: Greatness is contagious
Since the early ’90s, hip-hop legend Com-mon has spread an uplifting message of solidar-ity and positivity through his music.
The Grammy Award-winning musician visited Auraria with a similar message of motivation Feb. 5 in conjunction with Auraria’s recognition of Black History Month.
Opening for Common’s talk at the Tivoli Turnhalle was artist and former MSU Denver student, DJ Cavem, who hyped up the crowd with his performance of original music and a quick display of his skills on the turntables.
When Common took the stage, the crowd’s excitement was undeniable, as he was greeted with a warm welcome.
Common’s presentation resembled one of his concerts, starting with a freestyle. But music wasn’t the only reason Common came to visit.
“When I knew I was coming to Denver—which is a city that is very special to me because my father and brother live out here—I knew I was going to have the opportunity to speak to you all—your beautiful minds,” he said. “I knew I had to say something that you could walk away with that would mean something.”
Eyes were locked on the rapper as he spoke. “The word that came to mind when I was
coming to this (campus) was ‘greatness,’” he said.
Cheers and gestures of agreement were pep-pered in after every other word as he revealed stories. Tales about his days in Chicago, joking around in math class or trying to keep up with the stars in his Biddy Basketball league, high-lighted the virtue in youthful failure.
He didn’t shy away from discussing recent disappointments, such as losing out on awards and missing out on acting roles. What kept him going has been the idea of being better than he thought he could be—that meant being great.
“When you think about greatness, what re-ally is greatness? Well, in the ‘Common Diction-ary of Greatness,’ greatness is using your gifts to perform at the highest level, and by doing so you inspire others to reach their full potential,” he said.
Common’s words stirred the crowd when he shared the certainty he had in each and ev-eryone. Belief in oneself is key, he reminded the audience, noting his story about leaving college to pursue hip-hop. Everyone, thought it would be an uphill battle. Still, his career proves he refused to quit.
“Only you know your path,” he concluded. “You know in your heart who you are and what you want to accomplish, what your gifts are, what your passion is. It’s up to you to find your purpose.”

Auraria pool to close, possibly removedExtensive repairs needed to � x water issues
By Luke Faulkner
Auraria’s recreation pool is pulling its plug at the end of the Spring semester due to issues with the pool’s liner, gutter and � ltration systems. Additionally, the chemicals in the pool’s water could be a� ecting the Platte River Basin and Denver Water.
“� e liner is not the primary problem, which is more of an expensive deal,” said Tony Price, director of recreation. “� e actual gutter system in the pool is caus-ing signi� cant water loss, and that’s anywhere from $130,000 to $150,000 to replace.”
If the gutter system were replaced, then a new � ltration system that’s up to code would
also be considered. An addi-tional $30,000 to $50,000 would be needed to replace the exist-ing � ltration system. If campus recreation were to update these systems, they would want to be sure that the liner wouldn’t fail within two or three years a� er spending $200,000.
“� e system is probably close to 30 years old and so it’s reached its shelf life,” Price said.
With some recent repairs like liner patching, painting lane stripes and replacing drain boxes, the cost to keep up with the aging pool was $66,316.
Where the water is going isn’t quite clear, but damage to the Emmanuel Gallery is the direct result of water leakage from the pool’s shell basin. To date, the cost
to repair the art gallery and patio wall is more than $100,000.
“We’re not quite sure exactly where (the water is) going. � ere is concern it could be going into the Platte River Basin,” Price said.
Price wants to make sure stu-dents are aware of what’s going on with the pool as well as with the recreation center.
“We’re doing a feasibility study of this entire facility,” Price said. “We should have two or three, probably a minimum of three conceptual designs for this building.”
Students and the community around MSU Denver bene� t from the pool, just as athletes like MSU Denver junior Ryan Moseman who swam for the school when the swim team was still collegiate for
NCAA Division II. Now that he’s back for a second bachelor’s de-gree, Moseman represents the club sport. He is glad to know campus recreation is in the process of renovating the pool, if not putting a brand new one in altogether.
Billy Klabunde, a lifeguard at the pool, has been informed about the pool’s upcoming changes.
“We just know that the pool’s going to be closed over the sum-mer, and it might be longer de-pending if they actually redo the whole thing,” Klabunde said.
When asked what could be changed about the pool, Klabunde said, “It could probably use a couple more lanes.”
A new pool could cost around $1.2 million.

Marijuana laws are still evident at Auraria, but the campus Health Center isn’t discouraging students who seek treatment for atten-tion de� cit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to shy away from their services because of marijuana use.
Many physicians require students to get a standard drug test before being prescribed any other medication, but Dr. Melinda Motes at the Health Center doesn’t believe
marijuana counteracts with ADHD medicine, therefore making it un-necessary to drug test.
“It depends on how di� er-ent people practice,” Motes said. “� ere were a lot of people using marijuana before Jan. 1, so I don’t really see a di� erence.”
Instead of drug testing students who need medications to help them concentrate in school, the doctors at the Health Center at Auraria consult with the student before prescribing them something. � ey ask them questions to � nd out what drugs they use, including marijuana.
Motes said they are not there to get the student in trouble, but
rather help them to � nd out what they need.
“If somebody says they’re us-ing drugs, nothing in particular though, I do tell them we can drug test,” Motes said. “I don’t want the medications they are taking not to work.”
Even though marijuana doesn’t cause any health risks among stu-dents who are prescribed ADHD and taking medication such as Adderall, there are many factors when in college that can a� ect their mental health state, such as too much stress and a heavy work load.
� e Health Center’s goal is not to punish anyone with drug tests, but rather talk them through their options and make sure the right medications are being taken.
“We wouldn’t use drug testing to make it punitive for anyone,” Motes said.

A group of MSU Denver in-dustrial design students is teaming up with local high school students for the first time to tackle a coffee brewing development project.
Industrial design professor Michael Caston teaches a studio design class and is all about work-ing on a design team for a real product.
“This is a real world project where we’ve got a real client, and students need to wrap their mind around the industry that they’re designing for,” Caston said.
This semester the design team is working for Smartco Interna-tional, an international manufac-turing and sales organization, on a new way to brew coffee. MSU Denver is working with a group of
Adams City High School students. “That was something that we’ve
been wanting to do,” said Derek Berthold, the Industrial Design Society of America student chapter president. Berthold is one of the members of MSU Denver’s design team on this project.
To Berthold, the project is a way to open students’ eyes to a career that not many see.
“You’re talking to a 34 year old who didn’t know this (program) existed until three years ago,” Berthold said.
The idea of bringing high school students in to help with a product design was not a new one. Brian Gross, vice president of Smartco, contacted Caston with his idea for a new product, and for high school students to potentially be involved.
“Brian seemed really interested
and psyched up about working with our students,” Caston said. “So (the high school students) get some exposure to industrial design that they wouldn’t otherwise get in high school.”
The high school students show a lot of effort when contributing.
“Last week they came in to take part in brainstorm sessions,” Caston said, “This coming Monday we’ll do a sketch review with all (students’) concepts, maybe 50 different concepts. We’ll pin up the designs and then critique them. The high school students will be back again to observe, and I’ve asked them to also come up with some designs.”
Most assignments are left to the college students, who guide the way for the high schoolers.
“This is what we’re trying to do: we want a cold brew system, it
needs to do this, this, this and this, and it needs to cost this much,” Burthold said about what Smartco brings to the table. “So (Gross) kind of outlines all of the informa-tion, and it’s our job to create the best possible design within those
parameters.” Production is aimed to start in
fall 2014. “Most of what my students
have said was they have really enjoyed the collaboration,” Caston said.

What we do
By Stephanie Alderton
By Nikki Work
Same-sex rights extension a milestone
With all the things we as a country tend to get wrong — gov-ernment shutdowns, enduring in-tolerance of an African-American president and a growing wealth disparity — it’s really, really nice to see us get things right.
On Feb. 10, the U.S. federally expanded several important mar-riage benefits to same-sex couples. In an article on CNN, Evan Perez wrote, “The move impacts how millions of Americans interact with the federal government, including bankruptcy cases, prison visitation rights, survivor benefits for police officers and firefight-ers killed on the job, and the legal right to refuse to testify to incrimi-nate a spouse.”
This means a couple married in a state that has made same-sex marriage legal can enjoy these rights even in states that haven’t. With the last legal bias still preva-lent in the land of the free — where all men are created equal unless they love other men — this is a massive and beautiful step. It may not be complete equality, and it may not be everything that the GLBT movement needs, but it is progress.
This news emerged the day after a promising pro football prospect and former University of Missouri defensive end Michael Sam came out as gay on ESPN, which has opened up the pos-sibility that if Sam is drafted, he would be the first openly gay player in the NFL. Amidst questions of whether or not this would hurt his
professional options, John Elway, Denver Broncos executive vice president of football operations, made a statement about the effect this announcement would have on Sam’s draft prospects in Colorado — none.
In an article published by The Denver Post, Mike Klis wrote, “His announcement will have no effect on how we see him as a football player. Having spent 16 years in the locker room (as a player), the bot-tom line is that it’s about treating others with respect and earning that respect. By all indications, it appears Michael has done just that throughout his football career.”
Last May, Colorado legalized civil unions, and elsewhere in the U.S., 16 states and Washington D.C. have legalized same-sex mar-riage, six states have civil unions
laws and two have domestic part-nership statutes. This means that in 24 states and the nation’s capital, the GLBT population has some of the same opportunities as everyone else — a staggering, saddening half of the U.S.
Though the Justice Depart-ment’s extension of these marriage benefits nationwide is a very im-portant and necessary step, we as a country just aren’t there yet.
Though many people see the same-sex marriage issue as one of religion and morality, I never have been able to.
It is a matter of human beings and happiness, of tolerance and kindness and of loving one another because we only get one life, and it’s just not worth it to live it filled with hatred or to fill others’ lives with malice.
The season of fluffy pink hearts has arrived, and with it comes the annual serving of fluffy romance at the movies. “Endless Love” and “A Winter’s Tale” are two of the date-night movies girls around the country will drag their boyfriends to during Valentine’s Day weekend.
But what about those of us without dates? If you’re having a lonely evening, sometimes a ro-mantic comedy just makes things worse. And what about those couples who prefer explosions to make-out sessions in their date night viewing?
If you fall into one of these categories, here are a few viewing suggestions for you this weekend. I like to call them “anti-chick-flicks.”
1) “The Dark Knight.” The best and darkest of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, this movie doesn’t have any happy love stories. But it does have lots of intense action, a thought-provoking allegory on terrorism and an unforgettably disturbing villain.
2) “The Walking Dead.” New episodes of AMC’s excellent zom-bie show always air in February. Because there’s no better antidote to roses and chocolates than a few battles between flesh-eating corps-es and the crossbow-and-sword-wielding defenders of humanity.
3) “Zero Dark Thirty.” The young woman at the center of this movie (based on real events) is too busy hunting Osama bin Laden to flirt with boys. Even though everyone already knows how this story ends, it still manages to be a stomach-tightening, knuckle-whitening thriller.
4) “The Avengers.” Okay, so there’s a little romance between Hawkeye and Black Widow, but it’s almost drowned out by all the Hulk-smashing, hammer-throw-ing, jaw-clenching and smack-talking. In fact, almost anything by Joss Whedon makes for a good anti-chick-flick. “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog,” anyone?
5) “Jurassic Park.” Most of the shallow romances that come out this year will be forgotten in another year. But giant man-eating lizards will always be cool. Dia-monds are temporary. Dinosaurs are forever.
If you are in the mood to go out on Feb. 14, you also have a few non-nauseating options at the cin-ema: “Lone Survivor;” “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit;” and starting this week, “The Monuments Men” and “The LEGO Movie.”
This is where I’ll be on Valen-tine’s Day — munching my heart-shaped cookies and watching some explosions on TV. On a holiday dedicated to celebrating love, it’s only right to spend time with the things you love.
Recently The Denver Post and other local news sources put out articles about the pos-sibility of bars in Downtown Denver and the LoDo area stay-ing open until 7 a.m. I can’t tell if this idea is genius, or awful.
The proposed law is aimed to keep violence out of LoDo, because at 2 a.m. when all the bars let out, there are always a ton of drunken fights and a massive amount of people at one time attempting to get cabs and stumble home.
So, the goal is to try to stagger people out of the bars, instead of all at one time. I don’t disagree with the proposition, but I also don’t agree with it either.
With bars staying open later, won’t people just stay out later and get more drunk? I know my friends and I don’t like to leave at last call, so I can only imagine what the rest of Denver prefers.
On the economic side, staying open later is a great way to give bartenders and servers more hours, also making it so many of them can work full time, offering them benefits.
On the other hand, the hours they would put in would be all through the night, which might shy bartenders away from
that job path.In my opinion, I think
staying out until 7 a.m. will just cause more, DUI’s more public intoxication tickets and more people in the hospital with al-cohol poisoning. There also has been talk that it’s possible for a bar to stay open until 4 a.m., instead of seven, which I think is a much better idea.
I am from the East Coast, and I know in places like New York City and Atlantic City, N.J., alcohol is served extremely late. Things seemed to be work-ing out there, but for some reason, I feel that Denver is not meant to be a city that never sleeps.
I’m not going to lie: when I first heard this proposal, I was extremely excited. After a long week of schoolwork, interning, doing a million interviews and working at The Metropolitan, I can’t deny I love going down-town and staying out all hours of the night.
I don’t disagree the city should keep bars open later, by maybe two or three hours. But five? That’s a little extreme and I think it will cause the city to have many more problems, rather than crowded streets when the bars close.
I also feel that this is going to cause a lot of debate and it could take years for this propo-sition to pass. I’m still debating with myself, I can’t imagine how the city of Denver will react.

David is assistant editor of Metrosphere and recent a alumnus of MSU Denver.
He specializes in graphic design, as well as � ne art, fusing the two practices to create new and interesting objects from his creativ-ity. Originally a student of traditional art making—such as drawing, painting and photography—David expanded his skills to
include new media such as graphic design and web design. Outside of his design pursuits, he also works for a boarding
facility in the Highlands Ranch where he enjoys taking care of animals. Working for the boarding facility has allowed him to also acquire commissions for his freelance ‘pet portrait’ business, where he creates expressive and colorful images of all the furry friends he has helped.
� rough experimentation with media and further research into the world of art and design, David plans to have a wide skillset and vast knowledge of visual arts covering local art events and to research the latest innovations in both the community and around the world.
An aspiring artist and writer, Mariah’s creative work explores the vast grey areas of human nature, speci� cally in urban settings.
An avid believer in Ameri-can Realism, she � nds most of her inspiration among her fellow working-class Americans and the ways in which they adapt to their circumstances.
Her creative muses are the artists, musicians and � lmmakers that make themselves the voices of the lower-class in society.
Artists like Harmony Korine, Ab Soul and Lewis Hine drive her creative endeavors.
Mariah currently lives in Denver and studies literature and painting at MSU Denver. She uses a variety of mediums in her art work, including pen and ink, print making and oil painting.
Born in a haunted naval hospital, Jody has had a life of building character and be-ing humbled.
Back in her middle school days, Jody hungered like the wolf to “� t in.” She thirst-ed to be a desirable creature at the goofy age of 13 and felt that faux leather pants would be the golden ticket. “Now I will be cool,”
thought a young Jody. But the faux leather pants weren’t cool. � ey caused her to sweat, and that perspiration fermented upon her legs. A� er a full day of Middle School hell, Jody would come home and peel the faux leather o� . It took some time. It was a sacri� ce she was willing to endure just to get Shawn—the “cool” kid—to notice her.
Now in remission, Jody has accepted her Quasimodo-Miseria and experiences occasional � are-ups. If you see her around campus with spinach in her teeth, please be gentle.
Jody can be found in her basement, geeking out to “� e Walk-ing Dead,” the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy and binge-watching other shows. Currently, she is obsessed with HBO’s “True Detective.”
A former � lmmaker, Sal Christ is currently the senior editor of Metrosphere. She is also a senior writer with Colorado Music Buzz and originated the Soundcloud Gems column for 303 Magazine. She was previ-ously a senior sta� writer and section editor with UCD’s alter-native weekly, � e Advocate.
She is the editor of “Evil is Good,” an allegorical novel by
Florida � lmmaker, Jon Schultz. Additionally, she has worked as a technical and ghostwriter in the music industry. Ms. Christ’s poetry and � ction was most-recently featured in Columbia: A Journal of Literature and Art.
She counts listening to John Coltrane records with a side of Jameson on the rocks as the perfect Sunday activity. Follow her on Twitter at @decriture.
A journalist, photographer, geek, otaku and comedian at heart, Kayla has been in the writing game for as long as she can remember.
She is currently the editor-in-chief of MSU Denver’s weekly student-run newspaper, � e Met-ropolitan. She also writes, designs pages, takes pretty pictures, designs newsletters, manages social media
sites, as well as, blogs for Metrosphere. Her other hobbies include board games, alphabetizing and
organizing her constantly growing library, cosplaying, convention going and nerding out with her friends late into the evening.
When she’s not spending late nights in the newsroom and work-ing her butt o� , her nose is either in a comic book, manga, novel or something entertaining. If she’s not reading, she’s more than likely Net� ixing (because that’s a verb now) and watching a wacky sci-� show, anime, cartoon or anything else that tickles her fancy.

On a frigid Wednesday after-noon at the Center for Innovation, one student graduated from an MSU Denver program.
But this graduation didn’t involve long robes or big crowds — in fact, probably because of the zero-degree weather, only four or five spectators showed up at all. It did involve a wall hung with stunning nature photographs in the CFI gallery, brightly-colored pictures that brought a touch of summer into a very wintry room.
Derek Regensburger is the latest artist to complete the CRE-ATE MSU Denver program, which started last November, sponsored by the CFI. His exhibit, “Wildflow-ers and Waterfalls,” opened at the center Feb. 5.
Although he also does sports photography and senior portraits, Regensburger’s primary art is taking pictures of mountains and other wild scenery. The colors in his framed photographs are so vivid they appear lit from behind.
This is due to an unusual develop-ment process in which the image is placed directly onto an aluminum sheet. Only one lab in the country — in San Francisco — develops photographs this way and the photos were sent all the way there to be developed.
The works Regensburger chose to display in his graduation show were all pictures of wildflowers and waterfalls. He said he de-cided to use those photographs after conducting a Facebook poll that showed they were his most popular. He learned the skill of social media through the CREATE program, which started with the goal of helping artistic entrepre-neurs improve the business side of their work.
“Artists don’t always think about those things,” said Kathy Beekman, a CREATE advisor who works with Regensburger and oth-er visual artists. “They know how to create artwork, but they don’t know how to do the rest of it, and so that’s where we come into play. We help them in a way that helps promote themselves as artists.”
CREATE consists of 12 ses-
sions with an advisor, mostly con-ducted over Skype or FaceTime, as well as guidance on how to handle such business-oriented tasks as writing a resume, marketing and establishing contacts with galleries and patrons. At the end of the pro-gram, entrepreneurs are given an opportunity to display their work in the CFI gallery. Cindy Busch, the assistant director of CREATE, said the show is meant to bring together everything her students learn about marketing and work-ing with a gallery.
Seven people have now com-pleted the course, which means the little gallery now holds a wide variety of artwork—from an as-sortment of dresses to miniature steampunk sculptures.
Regensburger’s contribution is the result of his two biggest pas-sions: photography and hiking. In order to get some of the striking landscape shots in this collec-tion, he often had to hike through wilderness, whether it was in New Mexico — to get a shot of a cactus in a field of bright wildflowers — or in Glacier National Park — to snap a few waterfalls in motion. He said
he enjoys the challenge of finding new places to photograph.
“One of my favorite places was an area in Rocky Mountain National Park that John Fielder had made famous, but he wouldn’t tell anyone where it was,” Regens-burger said. “Based on the shape of the mountains and the area of the book that it was in, we kind of guessed at where it was, and it turned out we were right. And it’s the single hardest place you could ever hope to get to.”
Nevertheless, he got there. He called the site “spectacular.”
Despite his dedication to the art, Regensburger, like most photographers, still needs a day job to make a living. He’s a criminal justice professor at Colorado State University. But with the skills he has gained from CREATE, he said he hopes to expand his clientele and perhaps draw more attention to those brilliantly-lit wildflowers and waterfalls.
Regensburger’s photography will be on display in the CFI gal-lery through April. The gallery is free and open to the public.

Throwback photo technique sheds modern light
UCD’s annual student art show opened Feb. 6 at Auraria’s Em-manuel Gallery.
The juried exhibition encour-aged students from the university to participate and submit pieces of their creative visions. The result was an eclectic mixture of submis-sions.
The gallery invited curator, Jacquelyn Connolly, the president of Creative Mind Consulting, Inc. and a UCD alumna, to critique the show. She said that it was one of the most diverse events that she has judged.
“I was really impressed that there was fair representation from all the departments. There was quality work from sculpture, digital media and painting and drawing,” she said. “It was enjoy-able. It was a good process and a
great venue.” The art show offered an oppor-
tunity for up-and-coming artists to have their work seen and to experi-ence showcasing art in a gallery.
Everything inside the Em-manuel Gallery seemed to catch the attention of onlookers.
“I’m surprised, this was a great turnout,” said Jo Richardson, who was awarded honorable mention for her intricate ink drawings.
Deeper into the evening, the growing audience was able to peruse the gallery and admire the range of art.
One piece stood out to Con-nolly and took home the number one prize. Scott Burgess won “Best In Show” for his composition titled “Crescent Shaped Textures,” a piece composed of steel and wood.
The structure only took a few days for the artist to put together. It was a part of an assignment last semester where students were given two random words and were
tasked with creating a sculpture. In Burgess’ case, “steel” and “wood” would be the two words that inspired his unique piece. But the award surprised him.
“It was pretty nerve-racking, I didn’t expect it,” he said. “I was worried about bringing the piece in from the get-go because it was super fragile.”
Along with the sculpture, he submitted five other pieces, each one presenting its own specific challenge and expressing a differ-ent type of creativity.
“It’s pretty exciting to come out with something like that when you have so much pressure to create so much in a little amount of time,” Burgess added.
The free, juried exhibition will conclude Feb. 20. Following its conclusion CCD and MSU Denver will each have their own student centered show.

The Center for Visual Art wel-comed photographer Will Wilson and his large format camera last week in conjunction with their most recent exhibit “Cross Cur-rents.”
The CVA held an artist talk and reception for Wilson Thursday, Feb. 6 and the following two days were dedicated to portrait sessions for his current project, “Criti-cal Indigenous Photographic Exchange (CIPX).” In ex-change to rights for the photo-graphs, volunteers had their portraits taken and received a tintype copy as a token of Wilson’s appreciation.
“I’m making my own emulsion and stepping the sitter through the process of making an image and sharing the relational aesthetics that is that exchange,” Wilson said.
Known for using histori-cal photographic processes, Wilson has made an impres-sive impact on contemporary Native American art. He shoots with a large format camera: a view camera first developed in the late 1800s comprised of a flexible, expandable lens, similar to what’s used on an enlarger in film devel-oping. This creates a light-tight seal between the lens and the viewfind-er, giving the photographer more control over depth of field.
During the reception, Wil-son spoke about his project, wet plate developing, and his plan to challenge Edward S. Curtis’ early
1900s documentation of indig-enous people. Wilson began doing portraits for CIPX in 2012 using an older photographic technique seldom used today.
The method, know as wet plate collodion, uses a mixture of ethyl ether, ethyl alcohol, nitrocellulose, iodine, and bromine. The mixture is poured onto a metal or glass plate, placed into a silver nitrate bath and exposed in a camera while still wet.
After snacks and libations, the
crowd of attendees gathered to hear Wilson speak. He described the delicate art of wet plate collo-dion photography and his specific method for developing his photos.
“The wet plate process actually requires you to have a darkroom with you. If the plate gets dry, you don’t have an image. I use a similar historic process to photograph con-temporary Native American folks now,” Wilson explained.
The CVA designated a portion of their space for Wilson to set up a portrait studio and an ice-fishing
tent he uses as a portable dark-room.
He specifically develops his im-ages as tintype photographs made by creating a direct positive image on a blackened sheet of metal. They are technically thin negatives that can be viewed as positives after collodion processing.
Wilson went on to express his frustration with the 20-volume photograph collection taken by Edward S. Curtis from 1907 to 1930. Curtis spent those years
documenting Native Ameri-cans and their culture, but made certain they kept the primitive look of the past.
“One thing Curtis is really well known for is try-ing to push out any kind of signifier of the modern age, but these were people living in the modern age,” Wilson noted.
After the talk, Wilson did a demonstration of the wet plate developing process and invited a few to join him in his tent darkroom. After zip-ping up the tent, leaving only
a string of red lights overhead to see, Wilson delicately poured silver nitrate on the metal tintype
Then came the rinse, developer and fixer. The visual change from a negative image to a positive one on the sheet of metal inspired “oohs” and “aahs” from the six people in the tent.
Wilson continued to do portraits during select hours the following two days for the CIPX project in hopes of making his own collection larger than Curtis’.

Every year around the end of July, hundreds of bands invade Denver’s Baker neighborhood for � e Denver Post’s Underground Music Showcase. � e hardest part of the four-day � asco is picking what bands to see and taking a gamble on whom to discover. � is past Show-case was full of surprises for me.
One highlight was discovering the Massachusetts rockers Speedy Ortiz.
� e band really made a name for themselves a� er the success of tour-ing behind their second full-length album, Major Arcana.
Real Hair, the band’s second EP, dropped Feb. 11, on Carpark Records. � e four-track release highlights the band’s growth over the years and hard-hitting desire to produce a truly authentic sound.
� e band originally started in 2011 as lead-guitarist/founder Sa-die Dupuis’ solo project as she put the � nishing touches on her MFA at the University of Massachusetts
Amherst. � e band later developed into a full on four-piece band that rarely fails to impress with their extravagant live shows full of fast-paced energy.
“Everything’s Bigger,” the album’s third track features the harmonically sound vocals layered over one another showcasing the band’s patent noise-pop sound.
Real Hair is a technically pro� -cient yet totally distorted post-punk anthem that unfolds in just over 13 minutes. It identi� es the alternative sound that the group is able to convey in a way that would be perfect while preparing for a night out on South Broadway.
“� e Monuments Men” is a hodgepodge of rousing patriotism, artistic appreciation and, unfortu-nately, cinematic disappointment.
Starring and directed by George Clooney, the � lm fol-lows � e Monuments Men — art historians, curators and architects — through WWII Europe. As the Nazis collect historic works of art to put into Hitler’s imagined Füh-rer Museum, the company races to recover and return every piece.
A “proud-to-be-an-American” emotion permeates the � lm, along with a sentimental love for culture and the works of creativity that embody humanity. But with the good comes the bad.
� e � lm sorely lacks character development. � e best-spun char-acter is a second-tier plot-member and the only woman in the � lm, a mysterious French rebel played by Cate Blanchett. Scattered attempts to develop other characters, such as a recovered alcoholic played by Hugh Bonneville, just seem un� n-ished and far from e� ective.
“� e Monuments Men” also battles strange pacing. At times it drags, at times it soars — and there seems to be no strategy to either placement. And worst of all, the scripting fails the star-studded cast. John Goodman and Bill Murray’s characters barely elicit giggles. George Clooney goes into philosophical speech mode way too many times. Matt Damon smiles and charms his way through Paris — but haven’t we seen that movie before?
For me, though, something changed my perspective on the � lm. I saw the movie with a WWII veteran. � e excitement, the un-derstanding and the recollections that my grandpa shared with me both before the lights dimmed and a� er the credits rolled gave me a new perspective.
“� e Monuments Men” tells a story — based on historical context and truth — that has been mostly passed over, but is still important and remembered by some of the bravest men in history. � e tale, and its importance, are there, even if the rest isn’t. If you’re expect-ing the emotional impact or gritty realism of “Saving Private Ryan,” stay home. If you want to get a little perspective on a di� erent side of the chaos and debasement of war, get to the theater right now.

Between school, work and life, it can be hard to crack open a book (that you aren’t required to read) and just kick back and enjoy. “One More � ing: Stories and Other Stories” is the solution to that exact dilemma.
� is compilation of short stories, some as brief as several sentences, is perfect for a hectic schedule. � ough I love the adven-
ture of losing myself in a book, it is time-consuming, and the act of complete literary absorp-tion can be stressful. With “One More � ing,” a reader can take it a page or two at a time without the pressure of having to keep reading while the world and its demands continue.
“One More � ing” is the debut book of B.J. Novak, known for his role on the beloved sitcom “� e O� ce,” and his dry wit and sharp delivery from his acting carries into his writing.
In addition to the brevity and the di� erences in story lengths, the content is varied and thought-ful. Some chapters are heart-warming and beautiful, while
some are edgy and satirical. Standout tales are “� e
Beautiful Girl in the Bookstore,” “A Good Question to Have,” “� e Rematch” and “� e Man Who Posted Pictures of Everything He Ate.”
� e yarns Novak spins are moderately simple, yet emotion-ally intricate. As a whole, “One More � ing: Stories and Other Stories” is a 288 page portrayal of a daydreamer and the human imagination. Download it on your tablet or phone, and read it in be-tween snippets of real life. It will make you smile, think and feel in manageable doses, and each story is completely worth the (short) time it takes to read it.
