style=\"text-align: center;\">[adrotate banner=\"8\"]</p>\r\n\r\nThe rows of softly risen yeast donuts, fried to golden perfection. And then there are the cake donuts, topped with glaze or a glossy sheet of icing, cracked just a bit on the sides. \r\n\r\nFritters? Bear claws? Old-fashioned donuts? Leave those for grown-ups. As long as they\'re buying the chocolate milk—preferably in the carton, the spout of which turns to a creamy mush before you can finish—handed over the counter by a member of the harried staff. \r\n\r\nGetting to sit across the table from your mom or dad, dressed down in their Friday work clothes, in the middle of the packed dining room of the donut shop, crammed like sardines into table-and-chairs sets that look like maybe they came from the flea market up the road.\r\n\r\nAnd then, walking through the door at school with sugar breath, a little bit of icing crust in the corners of your mouth. \r\n\r\nGlorious.\r\n\r\nWith this in mind, my son and I started a new tradition. We\'re calling it Friday Donut Day, and the goal is to visit as many different donut purveyors around town as possible.\r\n\r\nIndependently, locally owned stores always preferred.

Today, Stillwater-based public radio station KOSU Radio announced a new partnership with The Spy, an Internet radio station based in Oklahoma City, to provide original, Oklahoma-based programming and independent music to public radio.\nEffective Monday, Aug. 20, KOSU—which serves Oklahoma City at 91.7FM, Tulsa at 107.5FM, and Stillwater at 88.3FM—will begin simulcasting The Spy’s evening content, which includes:\nFreakbeat with Kenworth, who navigates the world of garage rock, psychedelic rock, art rock and early electronic, Mondays at 8 p.m.;\nThe Oklahoma Rock Show, featuring local bands from across the state with hosts Ryan LaCroix and Grace Gordon, Thursdays at 7 p.m.;\nJuke Joint Revival, resurrecting rockabilly, hillbilly, rock and roll, jump blues and rhythm and blues with Juke Joint Jenni, Fridays at 7 p.m.;\nSpyLab, a mix show of dance music ranging from house to dubstep to chill, hosted by internationally renowned DJ and record producer Katie Wicks, Saturdays at 9 p.m;\nThe Sunday Toaster Brunch with E-Roy, featuring two hours of the best reggae, dub, ska and 2tone on Sundays at 10 a.m.;\nThe Night Shift with David Goad, featuring two hours of goth on Tuesdays at 9 p.m.;\nThe Blank Generation, one full hour devoted to punk, on Fridays at 10 p.m.;\nMillions Now Listening Will Never Die with the Jon Mooneyham, two hours of post-punk, featuring interviews and music from this incredibly intriguing time in music history;\nYou’re Welcome, Oklahoma’s only all-vinyl music show with Beau and Kellen, Tuesdays at 7 p.m.;\nAnd Tasting Notes, which pairs wine with music, Mondays at 7 p.m.\nKOSU will also air The Spy’s mix of modern music during the remaining evening and overnight hours while continuing popular shows such as A Prairie Home Companion, American Routes, The Blue Door Music Show and Folk Salad.\nIn addition, The Spy and KOSU Radio will both air a new radio show from This Land Press, “The Roam and Ramble,” during which hosts Natasha Ball and Holly Wall will deliver Oklahoma’s necessary news and things to do in a fun, energetic format. The show will feature news and interviews pertinent to the entire state of Oklahoma and also keep listeners in the know when it comes to local events and culture.\nThe show will launch Thursday, Sept. 6, at 10 a.m. and air every Thursday on The Spy at 10 a.m. and on both The Spy and KOSU Radio at 9 p.m.\n“The Roam and Ramble” will deliver content from “The Roundup,” Holly Wall’s daily news column, and Do What, the online calendar of events managed by Natasha Ball, along with news and culture interviews.

The evening starts with a two-stepping course that begins with the very first lesson—in fact, the lesson <em>before</em> the very first lesson. I know this because I, the proud but clumsy owner of two left feet, was able to proceed to the following lesson. For days after, I could hear Bob Spears—he\'s the guy in the white cowboy hat, and he\'s the one who teaches the classes—telling me to step quick, quick, slow, slow, his voice in my head asking me to two-step to the mailbox, down the coffee aisle in the grocery store, in the parking lot at my office.\r\n\r\nAgain, class starts at 6 p.m. with an hour of beginner lessons. At 7 p.m., it\'s basic/intermediate, but don\'t worry—the 6 p.m. hour prepares you for the 7 p.m. Then, at 8 p.m. is the intermediate/advanced lesson, but just like how the two previous hours worked together, the 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. hours prepare you for the 8 p.m. hour. <a href=\"http://www.tcwda.net/Images/PDF/INTRODUCTION.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Here\'s the list of what you\'ll learn</a> (PDF; warning, exciting technical dance terminology ahead). The whole night costs $7.50. Not a bad price at all for three hours\' worth of entertainment. \r\n\r\nSo, you get to learn how you need to be dancing at <a href=\"http://www.cainsballroom.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Cain\'s Ballroom</a>, <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CaravanCattleCompany\" target=\"_blank\">The Caravan</a> (hey, I hear they have a nice new dance floor), and <a href=\"http://tumbleweedok.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The Tumbleweed</a>, and you also get to meet a classroom full of new people who are there for the same reason you are—to learn how to do a little two-steppin\' from the guy named Bob with the nice smile who danced on stage at the Grand Ole Opry once. Everyone is nervous at first about switching partners every couple of bars, but by the end of that first hour you\'ve danced with everyone in the room, and you\'re a better dancer for it, even if you only started just that night. That\'s half the lesson, really.\r\n\r\nPlus: This? These Monday-night two-stepping classes? That\'s where my uncle met my (now) aunt. Now they have a brood of pond-jumping spaniels and a new tree farm. They\'re not the only ones—my dad found love on the dance floor, too, though it didn\'t begin on the one at the Moose Lodge. It was just one of the ones where it blossomed. Now my dad teaches line dancing classes with my stepmom, and he twirls her around in parking lots after dinners out sometimes.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tcwda.net/Main_page.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Signing up for the TCWDA email newsletter</a> is the best way to keep up with what will be covered at the next week\'s class, plus any announcements on cool stuff the group is up to. You can do it at the link above. Or, you go for full immersion and sign the sheet on the clipboard just inside the dance hall door on the night of your first class (recommended).

Perhaps that’s part of its allure—it is without borders or limitations, and yet its undefined nature can articulately convey the deepest aspects of humanity without uttering a word. \r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nIt is this wild and philosophical beast that, as Picasso put it, “washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” \r\n\r\nFor me, art is about seeing the world from someone else’s vantage point. Visiting a local museum or art gallery is a perfect opportunity to explore new territories, perspectives and stories. In Tulsa, we are fortunate to have two large museums, <a href=\"http://www.philbrook.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Philbrook</a> and <a href=\"http://gilcrease.utulsa.edu/\" target=\"_blank\">Gilcrease</a>, and a few privately owned galleries that each strike their own distinct chords. \r\n\r\nTulsa’s art galleries promote and sell the work of various artists, many of whom are local. What I enjoy most about them is the constant churn of new work that’s being added. As pieces are sold, room is made for the new. It’s a perpetual metamorphosis.\r\n\r\nHere’s just a few of my favorite galleries in Tulsa and sample of the beautiful work they offer. \r\n\r\n<h3>M.A. Doran (3509 S.

The main floor features the active exhibits, while the upstairs loft houses a large supply of constant pieces that are available for purchase.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/05/a-virtual-tour-of-tulsas-galleries/doran_perspective1/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11296\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Doran_perspective1-500x500.jpg\" alt=\"James Zwadlo Pedestrians Doran Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" title=\"James Zwadlo Pedestrians Doran Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11296\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/05/a-virtual-tour-of-tulsas-galleries/doran_perspectivedetail/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11297\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Doran_perspectiveDETAIL.jpg\" alt=\"James Zwadlo Pedestrians Doran Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" title=\"James Zwadlo Pedestrians Doran Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" width=\"378\" height=\"563\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11297\" /></a>\r\n\r\nI appreciate the perspective and how the details lead your eye throughout James Zwadlo’s mixed-media composition, “Pedestrians” (36x36).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/05/a-virtual-tour-of-tulsas-galleries/doran_sculpture/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11298\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Doran_sculpture-500x652.jpg\" alt=\"Clayton Keyes The Hunter, Legacy Fulfilled Doran Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" title=\"Clayton Keyes The Hunter, Legacy Fulfilled Doran Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" width=\"500\" height=\"652\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11298\" /></a>\r\n\r\nCeramic artist Clayton Keyes is a recent MFA graduate from the <a href=\"http://www.utulsa.edu/\" target=\"_blank\">University of Tulsa</a> and was recently invited to showcase his work in the 2012 NCECA Biennial Invitational <em>Push Play</em> in Seattle. His work is stark and poignant. There’s several currently on display such as this one, “The Hunter, Legacy Fulfilled” (56x16x18).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/05/a-virtual-tour-of-tulsas-galleries/doran_marilyn/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11299\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Doran_Marilyn-500x536.jpg\" alt=\"Ben Steele Campbell’s Crayons, Green Doran Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" title=\"Ben Steele Campbell’s Crayons, Green Doran Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" width=\"500\" height=\"536\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11299\" /></a>\r\n\r\nLoved this oil on canvas piece, “Campbell’s Crayons, Green” (44x40), by Ben Steele.

It\'s an eclectic mix of paintings, sculptures, and installation pieces that range from modern to southwest. When I was an art student at The University of Tulsa, I would drop by frequently because of the quality and variety of work the gallery provides.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/05/a-virtual-tour-of-tulsas-galleries/gierek_guthrie/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11301\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Gierek_Guthrie.jpg\" alt=\"Shepard Fairey Woody Guthrie Centennial Gierek Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" title=\"Shepard Fairey Woody Guthrie Centennial Gierek Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" width=\"496\" height=\"603\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11301\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThe day I dropped by, I found several great pieces by local artists, plus a few who are renowned in the larger art community, such as Annie Leibovitz, Jasper Johns, and this nice screen print by Shepard Fairey: “Woody Guthrie Centennial” (24x18). \r\n\r\nI fell in love with this one.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/05/a-virtual-tour-of-tulsas-galleries/gierek_thoreau/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11302\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Gierek_Thoreau-500x423.jpg\" alt=\"Kate Rivers Thoreau’s Garden Gierek Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" title=\"Kate Rivers Thoreau’s Garden Gierek Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" width=\"500\" height=\"423\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11302\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/05/a-virtual-tour-of-tulsas-galleries/gierek_thoreau-detail/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11303\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Gierek_Thoreau-detail.jpg\" alt=\"Kate Rivers Thoreau’s Garden Gierek Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" title=\"Kate Rivers Thoreau’s Garden Gierek Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" width=\"336\" height=\"487\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11303\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<h3>Tulsa Artists\' Coalition (TAC) Gallery (9 E. Brady Street; <a href=\"http://tacgallery.org/TAC_Gallery.html\" target=\"_blank\">tacgallery.org</a>)</h3>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/05/a-virtual-tour-of-tulsas-galleries/tac/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11304\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/TAC-500x730.jpg\" alt=\"Tulsa Artists Coalition (TAC) Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" title=\"Tulsa Artists Coalition (TAC) Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" width=\"500\" height=\"730\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11304\" /></a>\r\n\r\nMy heart beats in the Brady District where the TAC Gallery resides. It’s unique in that it is a volunteer-run, non-profit organization that supports Oklahoma artists, many who are just emerging into the local art scene. The gallery features one artist per month, and hosts around 10 shows a year.\r\n\r\nThe day I stopped by, they were preparing for their acclaimed, annual fundraising event, 5x5. The gallery was closed, and I wasn’t allowed to take a peek inside since the public had not viewed the work. \r\n\r\nWhat 5x5 is: Each year, artists from all over the state are invited to pick up a five-inch-by-five-inch canvas and create an original piece. Sales go to support the gallery and its mission. It’s become such a popular event that many people line up hours in advance to purchase their favorite pieces.  \r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/05/a-virtual-tour-of-tulsas-galleries/tac-interior/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11305\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/TAC-interior-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"5X5 Tulsa Artists Coalition (TAC) Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" title=\"5X5 Tulsa Artists Coalition (TAC) Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11305\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThis is an interior shot of the gallery during an opening reception I attended last year. \r\n\r\nOne of the high points of going to a reception is having the opportunity to speak with the featured artist candidly. It’s always an honor to hear an artist discuss the thought that was invested into their work.\r\n\r\n<h3>“Art is approachable.”</h3> \r\n\r\nA friend and local artist recently said this, and it resonated with me. \r\n\r\nArt shouldn’t be intimidating or pretentious. It\'s thoughts and emotions made visible for others to experience. \r\n\r\nGo out and get lost in one of our local galleries. Tulsa’s art community is vibrant. Examine the work from different angles.

It’s unique in that it is a volunteer-run, non-profit organization that supports Oklahoma artists, many who are just emerging into the local art scene. The gallery features one artist per month, and hosts around 10 shows a year.\r\n\r\nThe day I stopped by, they were preparing for their acclaimed, annual fundraising event, “5x5”. The gallery was closed, and I wasn’t allowed to take a peek inside since the public had not viewed the work.

Art shouldn’t be intimidating or pretentious. It is thoughts and emotions made visible for others to experience. So please go out and get lost in one of our local galleries. Tulsa’s art community is vibrant and the natives are friendly. Examine the work from different angles. Discuss it. Find a piece you love and one you don’t. Ask why, because somewhere in all the brushstrokes, carved edges, and distressed finishes, we not only discover a different perspective, but a piece of ourselves.','Tulsa\'s Galleries','','inherit','open','open','','11293-revision-7','','','2012-05-16 06:59:28','2012-05-16 12:59:28','',11293,'http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/05/11293-revision-7/',0,'revision','',0),(11313,1,'2012-05-16 07:02:21','2012-05-16 13:02:21','<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=11304\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11304\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/TAC-500x730.jpg\" alt=\"Tulsa Artists Coalition (TAC) Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" title=\"Tulsa Artists Coalition (TAC) Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" width=\"500\" height=\"730\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11304\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<em>Today\'s guest post comes from Sarah Neal, a lover of all things beautiful and all things Tulsa. <a href=\"http://twitter.com/boldface\" target=\"_blank\">Follow Sarah on Twitter, @boldface</a>.</em>\r\n\r\nI don’t think anyone can properly define what art is. Perhaps that’s part of its allure—it is without borders or limitations and yet its undefined nature can articulately convey the deepest aspects of humanity without uttering a word. \r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nIt is this wild and philosophical beast that, as Picasso put it, “washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” \r\n\r\nFor me, art is about seeing the world from someone else’s vantage point. Visiting a local museum or art gallery is a perfect opportunity to explore new territories, perspectives and stories. In Tulsa, we are fortunate to have two large museums, Philbrook and Gilcrease, and a few privately owned galleries that each strike their own distinct chords. \r\n\r\nTulsa’s art galleries promote and sell the work of various artists, many of whom are local. What I enjoy most about them is the constant churn of new work that’s being added. As pieces are sold, room is made for the new. It’s a perpetual metamorphosis.\r\n\r\nHere’s just a few of my favorite galleries in Tulsa and sample of the beautiful work they offer. \r\n\r\n<h3>M.A. Doran (3509 S. Peoria Avenue)</h3>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=11294\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11294\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Doran-copy-front-500x336.jpg\" alt=\"Doran front entrance by Sarah Neal Tulsa Oklahoma\" title=\"Doran front entrance by Sarah Neal Tulsa Oklahoma\" width=\"500\" height=\"336\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11294\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=11295\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11295\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Doran-copy-inside-500x371.jpg\" alt=\"Inside Doran gallery by Sarah Neal Tulsa, Oklahoma\" title=\"Inside Doran gallery by Sarah Neal Tulsa, Oklahoma\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11295\" /></a>\r\n\r\nLocated on Brookside with its white, curved façade, M.A. Doran is known for its extensive collection of contemporary art and sculpture as well as its support of many renowned artists in Oklahoma. The main floor features the active exhibits, while the upstairs loft houses a large supply of constant pieces that are available to purchase.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=11296\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11296\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Doran_perspective1-500x500.jpg\" alt=\"James Zwadlo Pedestrians Doran Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" title=\"James Zwadlo Pedestrians Doran Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11296\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=11297\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11297\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Doran_perspectiveDETAIL.jpg\" alt=\"James Zwadlo Pedestrians Doran Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" title=\"James Zwadlo Pedestrians Doran Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" width=\"378\" height=\"563\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11297\" /></a>\r\n\r\nI appreciate the perspective and how the details lead your eye throughout James Zwadlo’s mixed-media composition, “Pedestrians” (36x36).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=11298\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11298\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Doran_sculpture-500x652.jpg\" alt=\"Clayton Keyes The Hunter, Legacy Fulfilled Doran Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" title=\"Clayton Keyes The Hunter, Legacy Fulfilled Doran Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" width=\"500\" height=\"652\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11298\" /></a>\r\n\r\nCeramic artist, Clayton Keyes is a recent MFA graduate from the University of Tulsa and was recently invited to showcase his work in the 2012 NCECA Biennial Invitational “Push Play” in Seattle. His work is stark and poignant. There’s several currently on display such as this one, “The Hunter, Legacy Fulfilled” (56x16x18).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=11299\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11299\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Doran_Marilyn-500x536.jpg\" alt=\"Ben Steele Campbell’s Crayons, Green Doran Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" title=\"Ben Steele Campbell’s Crayons, Green Doran Gallery Tulsa Oklahoma\" width=\"500\" height=\"536\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11299\" /></a>\r\n\r\nLoved this oil on canvas piece, “Campbell’s Crayons, Green” (44x40), by Ben Steele.

Plus, I learned the two-step, and since I managed not to hurt anyone or curse (out loud), I got free passes to come back and bring my friends. \r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[adrotate banner=\"8\"]</p>\r\n\r\nEvery Monday night the Tulsa Country Western Dance Association (don\'t you just feel better in a world where there is a <a href=\"http://www.tcwda.net/\" target=\"_blank\">Tulsa Country Western Dance Association</a>?) hosts dance lessons at the Moose Lodge in east Tulsa, at about 7th and Garnett (11106 E. 7th Street). The evening starts with a two-stepping course that begins with the very first lesson—in fact, the lesson <em>before</em> the very first lesson. I know this because I, the proud but clumsy owner of two left feet, didn\'t fall flat on my face. In fact, for days after, I could hear Bob Spears—he\'s the guy in the black cowboy hat in the photo above, and he\'s the one who teaches the classes, in jeans and a wireless-mic headset—telling me to step quick, quick, slow, slow, his voice in my head asking me to two-step to the mailbox, down the coffee aisle in the grocery store, in the parking lot at my office.\r\n\r\nAgain, class starts at 6 p.m. with an hour of beginner lessons. At 7 p.m., it\'s basic/intermediate, but don\'t worry—the 6 p.m. hour prepares you for the 7 p.m. Then, at 8 p.m. is the intermediate/advanced lesson, but just like how the two previous hours worked together, the 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. hours prepare you for the 8 p.m. hour. <a href=\"http://www.tcwda.net/Images/PDF/INTRODUCTION.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Here\'s the list of what you\'ll learn</a> (PDF; warning, exciting technical dance terminology ahead). The whole night costs $7.50. Not a bad price at all for three hours\' worth of entertainment. \r\n\r\nSo, you get to learn how you need to be dancing at <a href=\"http://www.cainsballroom.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Cain\'s Ballroom</a>, <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CaravanCattleCompany\" target=\"_blank\">The Caravan</a> (hey, I hear they have a nice new dance floor), and <a href=\"http://tumbleweedok.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The Tumbleweed</a>, and you also get to meet a classroom full of new people who are there for the same reason you are—to learn how to do a little two-steppin\' from the guy named Bob with the nice smile who danced on stage at the Grand Ole Opry once. Everyone is nervous at first about switching partners every couple of bars, but by the end of that first hour you\'ve danced with everyone in the room, and you\'re a better dancer for it, even if you only started just that night. That\'s half the lesson, really.\r\n\r\nPlus: This? These Monday-night two-stepping classes? That\'s where my uncle met my (now) aunt. Now they have a brood of pond-jumping spaniels and a new tree farm. They\'re not the only ones—my dad found love on the dance floor, too, though it didn\'t begin on the one at the Moose Lodge. It was just one of the ones where it blossomed. Now my dad teaches line dancing classes with my stepmom, and he twirls her around in parking lots after dinners out sometimes.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tcwda.net/Main_page.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Signing up for the TCWDA email newsletter</a> is the best way to keep up with what will be covered at the next week\'s class, plus any announcements on cool stuff the group is up to. You can do it at the link above. Or, you go for full immersion and sign the sheet on the clipboard just inside the dance hall door on the night of your first class (recommended).

And she sings beautifully.\r\n\r\nThat on the right is, well, me.\r\n\r\nElizabeth spent more than an hour showing me the ropes of opera. She taught me a few phrases from The Daughter of the Regiment (more about that in a sec), and she even got me started on a song (the words were in <em>Italian</em>, y\'all). She event wrote me a Tasha Does Tulsa theme song.\r\n\r\nI\'ve been on cloud nine ever since.\r\n\r\nMy poor husband and son? Well, I\'ve had to stock up on cotton balls.

I\'m signed up for emails from Tulsa Opera, and in one of their recent mailings was a note about how <strong>Tulsa students are eligible for discounted opera tickets</strong>. It had \"date night\" written all over it. So I took my husband down to the box office at the Performing Arts Center on Saturday evening, two hours before curtain time on opening night, and pushed him out of the car and into the pouring rain. \r\n\r\nHe came back with impossible tickets. Row K, seats 1 and 2—dead center, and the perfect distance from the stage for opera. \r\n\r\nAnd only $30 lighter. As in, two tickets for a price that\'s less than a single ticket in our seating area would have cost. \r\n\r\nBeing married to a graduate student has its drawbacks. But then again, it definitely has its perks. And one of them is being mere yards from <a href=\"http://imgartists.com/artist/sarahcoburn\" target=\"_blank\">Sarah freaking Coburn</a>. And the rest of the fabulous cast of La Fille. \r\n\r\nCloud nine. I wonder if this place has extended-stay rates. \r\n\r\nIf you\'re a student, you have absolutely no reason not to check out <a href=\"http://tulsaopera.com/our-season/the-daughter-of-the-regiment/\" target=\"_blank\">one of the two remaining performances of The Daughter of the Regiment</a>. You get two tickets for the discounted rate. Better, you get best-available seating. \r\n\r\nGO.

Plus, I learned the two-step, and since I managed not to hurt anyone or curse (out loud), I got free passes to come back and bring my friends. \r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nEvery Monday night the Tulsa Country Western Dance Association (don\'t you just feel better in a world where there is a <a href=\"http://www.tcwda.net/\" target=\"_blank\">Tulsa Country Western Dance Association</a>?) hosts dance lessons at the Moose Lodge in east Tulsa, at about 7th and Garnett (11106 E. 7th Street). The evening starts with a two-stepping course that begins with the very first lesson—in fact, the lesson <em>before</em> the very first lesson. I know this because I, the proud but clumsy owner of two left feet, was able to proceed to the following lesson. For days after, I could hear Bob Spears—he\'s the guy in the white cowboy hat, and he\'s the one who teaches the classes—telling me to step quick, quick, slow, slow, his voice in my head asking me to two-step to the mailbox, down the coffee aisle in the grocery store, in the parking lot at my office.\r\n\r\nAgain, class starts at 6 p.m. with an hour of beginner lessons. At 7 p.m., it\'s basic/intermediate, but don\'t worry—the 6 p.m. hour prepares you for the 7 p.m. Then, at 8 p.m. is the intermediate/advanced lesson, but just like how the two previous hours worked together, the 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. hours prepare you for the 8 p.m. hour. <a href=\"http://www.tcwda.net/Images/PDF/INTRODUCTION.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Here\'s the list of what you\'ll learn</a> (PDF; warning, exciting technical dance terminology ahead). The whole night costs $7.50. Not a bad price at all for three hours\' worth of entertainment. \r\n\r\nSo, you get to learn how you need to be dancing at <a href=\"http://www.cainsballroom.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Cain\'s Ballroom</a>, <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CaravanCattleCompany\" target=\"_blank\">The Caravan</a> (hey, I hear they have a nice new dance floor), and <a href=\"http://tumbleweedok.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The Tumbleweed</a>, and you also get to meet a classroom full of new people who are there for the same reason you are—to learn how to do a little two-steppin\' from the guy named Bob with the nice smile who danced on stage at the Grand Ole Opry once. Everyone is nervous at first about switching partners every couple of bars, but by the end of that first hour you\'ve danced with everyone in the room, and you\'re a better dancer for it, even if you only started just that night. That\'s half the lesson, really.\r\n\r\nPlus: This? These Monday-night two-stepping classes? That\'s where my uncle met my (now) aunt. Now they have a brood of pond-jumping spaniels and a new tree farm. They\'re not the only ones—my dad found love on the dance floor, too, though it didn\'t begin on the one at the Moose Lodge. It was just one of the ones where it blossomed. Now my dad teaches line dancing classes with my stepmom, and he twirls her around in parking lots after dinners out sometimes.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tcwda.net/Main_page.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Signing up for the TCWDA email newsletter</a> is the best way to keep up with what will be covered at the next week\'s class, plus any announcements on cool stuff the group is up to. You can do it at the link above. Or, you go for full immersion and sign the sheet on the clipboard just inside the dance hall door on the night of your first class (recommended). \r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[adrotate banner=\"8\"]</p>','Tulsa Country Dance Association','I was stepped on only once, and I came home smelling like 20 different colognes.

Whether you’re looking for a blowout block party or a way to sweat your way through the day set aside for St. Pat, we’ve got it going on.\r\n\r\nIf you play your cards right, you could hit every major St. Patrick’s Day party in Oklahoma. Here’s our list of some of your best options:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Downtown Tulsa</strong>. Centered on the McNellie’s Gig Rig and Arnie’s Bar in the Blue Dome District, where the live music flows as freely as the emerald-hued beer.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Bricktown OKC</strong>. The 30th-annual St. Patrick’s Day parade takes over the OKC district that’s the same color as the mud on which it’s built, followed by the St. Patrick’s Day Block Party. The fiddles don’t stop until the wee hours.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Cherry Street Tulsa</strong>. Tulsa’s 15th Street will rise to meet you for an open-air St. Pat’s party, between Kilkenney’s and SMOKE. The eating could very well be even better—or, at least, just as good as—than the drinking.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>OKC’s Plaza District</strong>. One of Oklahoma City’s hippest districts turns the shade of an Irish hillside this weekend as part of this month’s edition of LIVE on the Plaza.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Fassler Hall, Tulsa</strong>. Greenhouse Clothing and one of the hottest spots in Tulsa for live, local music present a St. Patrick’s Day party for the ages.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<a href=\"http://thislandpress.com/03/05/2013/guide-best-st-patricks-day-parties-in-oklahoma/\" target=\"_blank\">Get dates, times, and an expanded list of party options at ThisLandPress.com</a>.','St. Patrick\'s Day Things to Do in Oklahoma 2013','','inherit','open','open','','12897-revision-4','','','2013-03-07 14:41:17','2013-03-07 20:41:17','',12897,'http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2013/03/12897-revision-4/',0,'revision','',0),(12732,1,'2013-02-01 10:17:18','2013-02-01 16:17:18','<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/09/roaming-and-rambling/dsc_0538-2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12011\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12011\" title=\"Okemah Oklahoma July hay bales\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/DSC_0538-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Okemah Oklahoma July hay bales\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nLike <a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/\" target=\"_blank\">TashaDoesTulsa.com</a> and <a href=\"http://dowhat.thislandpress.com/\" target=\"_blank\">DO WHAT Tulsa</a>?

She\'s part of the studio artist program at Tulsa Opera. She\'s nice. Her smile brightens an entire room. And she sings beautifully.\r\n\r\nThat on the right is, well, me.\r\n\r\nElizabeth spent more than an hour showing me the ropes of opera. She taught me a few phrases from The Daughter of the Regiment (more about that in a sec), and she even got me started on a song (the words were in <em>Italian</em>, y\'all). She event wrote me a Tasha Does Tulsa theme song.\r\n\r\nI\'ve been on cloud nine ever since.\r\n\r\nMy poor husband and son? I\'ve had to stock up on cotton balls. An ear can hold more blood more than you think, apparently. \r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/10/about-saturday-night/photo-6/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12234\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12234\" title=\"Tulsa Opera Tulsa Performing Arts Center\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/photo-500x500.jpg\" alt=\"Tulsa Opera Tulsa Performing Arts Center\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" /></a>\r\n\r\nLet\'s go back to The Daughter of the Regiment. I\'m signed up for emails from Tulsa Opera, and in one of their recent mailings was a note about how <strong>Tulsa students are eligible for discounted opera tickets</strong>. It had \"date night\" written all over it. So I took my graduate-student husband down to the box office at the Performing Arts Center on Saturday evening, two hours before curtain time on opening night, and pushed him out of the car and into the pouring rain. \r\n\r\nHe came back with impossible tickets. Row K, seats 1 and 2—dead center, and the perfect distance from the stage for opera. \r\n\r\nAnd only $30 lighter.

Row K, seats 1 and 2—dead center, and the perfect distance from the stage for opera. \r\n\r\nAnd only $30 lighter.

Among the arranged rows of metal folding chairs facing the work area (where visitors could sit and watch the process), the front row was open. When I sat down, I realized why—it was 120 degrees there. I watched the artist create his glowing glass art, but my body protested with dizziness, causing me to seek the cooler outside air—100 degrees still.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tulsa Artist Coalition Gallery</strong>. Impressive Wonderland-like works of Ryan Pack were on exhibit. Her art references modern day heroines with a fairytale twist.\r\n\r\n<strong>Pantoja’s Gallery</strong>. The work of Cuban artist Jose Antonio Pantoja Hernandez is sadly beautiful,  filled with the brutal realities of Cuban political dictatorship.\r\n\r\n<strong>Henry Zarrow Art Center</strong>. Had only a few remaining minutes before the studios closed. The space was a great gallery space, still crisp with newness, flaunting the works of TU art professors as well as the Gilcrease collection of Thomas Moran’s watercolors and sketches.\r\n\r\n<h3>Part 3: After-hours</h3>\r\n\r\n<strong>Club 209, The Art Bar</strong>. After 9 p.m., and after my pouting over not having enough time to see the Living Arts exhibit, I walked to Club 209 for a nightcap dose of art. It was opening night for artist Autumn Strutton, who was also the floor R.A. at my college dormitory—small world.\r\n\r\n<strong>On to the Blue Dome<strong>. Departed from the Brady District; it was only 9:30 p.m. Plenty of time to visit the Blue Dome District for some bowling at the Dust Bowl. A night of local food, beer, art, and bowling, though it was an early one.','First Friday Art Crawl, Play by Play','','inherit','open','open','','11789-revision-5','','','2012-09-07 07:22:37','2012-09-07 13:22:37','',11789,'http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/09/11789-revision-5/',0,'revision','',0),(11759,1,'2012-07-27 10:07:59','2012-07-27 16:07:59','Have you checked out the schedule for <a href=\"http://www.freetulsamusicfestival.com\" target=\"_blank\">this weekend\'s FREE TULSA Music Festival</a>?
