On May 5th downtown’s very own Soundpony will be having its fourth birthday!  In an effort to combine this magic with the already exciting Cinco De Mayo, they’re bringing in Tulsa DJ Sweet Baby Jaysus to host this whole meltdown! To celebrate this event, we’ve teamed up with the Soundpony this week to bring aContinue Reading

Last week, I posted the first of a two-part series on downtown happenings that simply debunk the theory that there is nothing to do in downtown Tulsa on weeknights.  This week, we’ll mark the end of the series with things to do on a Wednesday or Thursday night — all downtown. Fortunately, now that ONEOKContinue Reading

This year the ladies of the South Tulsa Indie Crochet and Knitting group and members of make:Tulsa have come together to bring a unique opportunity to Tulsa with the first Spring Fiber Fest.  On Sunday May 2nd, Tulsans can come out and learn how the fiber arts are made.  Despite the fact that the fiberContinue Reading

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard the phrase “There is nothing to do in Downtown Tulsa on weeknights”. Unfortunately, this resounding notion has infiltrated the minds of many residents of Owasso, Bixby, Broken Arrow, and Jenks. And why not?

On April 8th Ida Red, in association with Toms shoes, hosted the local “One Day Without Shoes” event. The event, designed to raise awareness of the plight of children in the developing world who have shoes, was one of countless others like it across the country.

When Phil Hernandez opened the doors of his newest club last October, he knew that he had a tough winter ahead of him. As a matter of fact, after hearing his story this weekend, I have a completely new perspective on the difficulties of opening a bar or club downtown. Working his way through everythingContinue Reading

When The Hunt Club quietly popped up on my radar in 2009, I wondered if it would assume the same invisible nature that The White Rabbit did as a restaurant. Frankly, I like the place. It’s never the first on my list, especially considering the other bars on Main Street, but it’s a good placeContinue Reading
