Welcomed by the artfully messy world of ceramics. Clay blobs, pottery wheels, water filled containers, various supplies and ceramics for sale claimed most open real estate in the studio.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tulsa Glass Blowing Studio</strong>. 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-8','','','2012-09-07 07:23:00','2012-09-07 13:23:00','',11789,'http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/09/11789-revision-8/',0,'revision','',0),(10436,1,'2012-02-03 08:52:03','2012-02-03 14:52:03','<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=10406\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10406\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10406\" title=\"tulsa spotlight theater tulsa oklahoma\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/tulsa-spotlight-theater-500x500.jpg\" alt=\"tulsa spotlight theater tulsa oklahoma\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" /></a>\n\nLast weekend a group and friends and I went to the Tulsa Spotlight Theater at 13th and Riverside to see The Drunkard and The Olio. \n\nThe Spotlighters say The Drunkard in Tulsa is one of the longest-running productions in the country, and it\'s one of the few places in town where you\'re encouraged to boo the bad guys and cheer on the good guys as a the story unfolds on stage.

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.

And the pickles.  \r\n\r\nFor two, the Okie Crowe folks make beer soap (tallboy, oatmeal stout, pumpkin lager...the list goes on). And beer hand scrubs. And peanut butter beer dog treats, made from spent beer grain. Inventive!  \r\n\r\nFor three, owner Kelli Groblewski\'s husband was really nice to me when joy and happiness came out of my ears at him when I spotted what was inside of the Okie Crowe booth at the Sand Springs Herbal Affair.

I bought a bar of it (how\'d you guess?), and let me tell you, it was almost a spiritual experience—I never knew that bathing with a bar of soap made of dirt could be like <em>that</em>. I mean, I\'m a fifth-generation Oklahoman. Odds are that I\'m made out of the same stuff that soap is. My great-great-grandma Clara (b. 188-something, I.T.) washed that stuff out of her clothes with a washboard, and thanks to Kelli\'s genius, I got to use it for a home-spa day. What? Yeah.

We\'re in love. \n\nI\'m not one of those people who gets googly-eyed over a dog. I\'ve had exactly one dog in my life who turned me upside down. He was a carefree, naughty little dog—the honey badger of the dog world—the spitting image of Toto on Wizard of Oz. He caused hundreds, maybe event thousands, of dollars in damage to my stuff, other people\'s stuff, whatever. But even though we had to replace carpets (he ate them) and shoes (he gnawed them), and we got plenty of exercise when we\'d have to chase him for entire evenings when he\'d wriggle his way through the front door, that dog had my heart. I think I loved him <em>because</em> he started so much shit. Maybe I even wanted to be him a little bit.\n\nAnd now Bosco has happened. Bosco is old—the vet said he may have 11 years on him, maybe more. His eyes are cloudy and his snout has grayed. He likes to rest his big, square head on my lap while I work, and he stretches his fawn-colored belly across the tops of my feet when I\'m at the stove. His lips flap audibly when he sighs. At night, he snores. My mom thinks he looks like Louie Armstrong. \n\nHe\'s perfect. \n\nAnother of his finer qualities is that he loves to go on walks with me. He gets tired and likes to rest plenty of times along the way. We eventually make it back home, though, him panting, the white buds of what\'s left of his bottom teeth gleaming like in a picture.\n\nRidiculous. Don\'t make fun. Have pity on me instead.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=10942\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10942\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/6889527780_ee55dbee28_b-500x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"caterpillar\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10942\" /></a>\n\nYou want to pet it. \n\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=10943\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10943\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/6889532316_2321345876_b-500x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"helicopters\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10943\" /></a>\n\nHelicopters everywhere.

Oklahoma red dirt and pickles are pretty much my two favorite things. Especially the dirt. And the pickles.  \r\n\r\nFor two, the Okie Crowe folks make beer soap (tallboy, oatmeal stout, pumpkin lager...the list goes on). And beer hand scrubs. And peanut butter beer dog treats, made from spent beer grain. Inventive!  \r\n\r\nFor three, owner Kelli Groblewski\'s husband was really nice to me when joy and happiness came out of my ears at him when I spotted what was inside of the Okie Crowe booth at the Sand Springs Herbal Affair. It\'s a lot to handle when that happens, so I really appreciate his kindness and understanding. \r\n\r\nYou don\'t have to wait until the next festival to check \'em out. <a href=\"http://www.etsy.com/shop/OkieCrowe\" target=\"_blank\">You can see and order Okie Crowe merch on their Etsy page</a>, or you can go to <a href=\"http://okiecrowe.com/stores/\" target=\"_blank\">one of these local retailers to see the array of Okie Crowe goodies</a>. \r\n\r\n(<a href=\"http://www.etsy.com/listing/95128836/okie-crowe-dill-pickle-scented-soap\" target=\"_blank\">Here\'s the pickle soap</a>.

I bought a bar of it (how\'d you guess?), and let me tell you, it was almost a spiritual experience—I never knew that bathing with a bar of soap made of dirt could be like <em>that</em>. I mean, I\'m a fifth-generation Oklahoman. Odds are that I\'m made out of the same stuff that soap is. My great-great-grandma Clara (b. 188-something, I.T.) washed that stuff out of her clothes with a washboard, and thanks to Kelli\'s genius, I got to use it for a home-spa day. What? Yeah. Super cool.\r\n\r\n<em>Okie Crowe didn\'t sponsor this post or compensate me in any way for writing it.

We grow up, as we should. However, our ability to marvel at the small things in our world tends to dull. Jobs, family, deadlines, and life’s responsibilities pile over us like heavy, winter coats, the light growing dimmer with each added layer. \r\n\r\nBy now, some of you are asking, “This is TashaDoesTulsa.com. What does this have to do with Tulsa?” \r\n\r\nActually, it has everything to do with our beautiful town. It’s also about us. \r\n\r\nWe live in a city that’s a lovely mosaic of old and new. Empty lots are transforming. Steel beams are being raised and riveted together, while paying homage to the grand heritage that surrounds it. I love this about Tulsa. We preserve the historical voice that resonates in harmony with the new. Yet it’s people who see and cherish this historical beauty—the distressed brick, the brass doors, the worn facades—that help preserve it. The ability to see the small, and often overlooked details have been instrumental in revitalizing many areas in Tulsa. Downtown is one of them. And then there\'s my personal favorite, the Brady District.\r\n\r\nNow about you. This is the good part. You ready? \r\n\r\nTake time to stop and see the beauty around you. It’s something you need, but you don’t know it. It’s still there, hidden under those layers. \r\n\r\nLike most of you, I work behind a computer most of the week. I’ve taught myself to carve out a few moments to turn off the TV, laptop, cell phone, and music (the most challenging part for me), and be quiet. I take a walk outside or go to a museum. I turn off the noisy thoughts to heighten my senses. I stop to feel the cold winter air on my skin, to hear the sound of a distant train as it blows its horn and beats its perfect rhythm along the tracks. The best part is, I never experience the same things twice. The world is new again, and the light shines bright once more. \r\n\r\nTake the time to explore this beautiful town. If you live somewhere else, stop to savor the area where your roots are planted. It’s those quiet but fleeting moments in our lives when we realize how small we are, and how the world around us will not cease to display its wonder, even when we don’t notice it. So go out there, people. The world is waiting…\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=10614\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10614\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/1Brady-district_violin-shop-500x277.jpg\" alt=\"Brady District Violin Shop Tulsa Oklahoma\" title=\"Brady District Violin Shop Tulsa Oklahoma\" width=\"500\" height=\"277\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10614\" /></a>\r\n\r\nI mentioned the Brady District. <a href=\"http://www.tulsaviolin.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The Tulsa Violin Shop</a> (200 N.

We\'re in love. \r\n\r\nI\'m not one of those people who gets googly-eyed over a dog. I\'ve had exactly one dog in my life who turned me upside down. He was a carefree, naughty little dog—the honey badger of the dog world—the spitting image of Toto on Wizard of Oz. He caused hundreds, maybe event thousands, of dollars in damage to my stuff, other people\'s stuff, whatever. But even though we had to replace carpets (he ate them) and shoes (he gnawed them), and we got plenty of exercise when we\'d have to chase him for entire evenings when he\'d wriggle his way through the front door, that dog had my heart. I think I loved him <em>because</em> he started so much shit. Maybe I even wanted to be him a little bit.\r\n\r\nAnd now Bosco has happened. Bosco is old—the vet said he may have 11 years on him, maybe more. His eyes are cloudy and his snout has grayed. He likes to rest his big, square head on my lap while I work, and he stretches his fawn-colored belly across the tops of my feet when I\'m at the stove. His lips flap audibly when he sighs. At night, he snores. My mom thinks he looks like Louie Armstrong. \r\n\r\nHe\'s perfect. \r\n\r\nAnother of his finer qualities is that he loves to go on walks with me. He gets tired and likes to rest plenty of times along the way. We eventually make it back home, though, him panting, the white buds of what\'s left of his bottom teeth gleaming like in a picture.\r\n\r\nRidiculous. Don\'t make fun. Have pity on me instead.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=10942\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10942\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/6889527780_ee55dbee28_b-500x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"caterpillar\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10942\" /></a>\r\n\r\nYou want to pet it. \r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=10943\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10943\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/6889532316_2321345876_b-500x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"helicopters\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10943\" /></a>\r\n\r\nHelicopters everywhere.

Rather than post about all the things I knew to do in town, I wanted to start by writing how Tulsans could discover the city for themselves.\r\n\r\nI wrote off and on until my son came along in early 2008. I quit my day job and started blogging every day from the little desk in our living room, writing and snapping photos to show Tulsans where to have fun with the kids or which restaurant serves the best chiles rellenos, or where to make plans for the weekend. This little blog began to win some big awards, including <a href=\"http://www.thetulseys.com/\">a Tulsey</a> for best interactive, <a href=\"http://www.oklahomablogawards.blogspot.com/\">Best Culture Blog in Oklahoma</a> (for three years running) and <a href=\"http://www.oklahomablogawards.blogspot.com/\">Best Tulsa Blog in the Oklahoma Blog Awards</a>. I was asked to join the Friday morning crew at <a href=\"http://www.krmg.com/krmgmorningnews\">the KRMG Morning News with Joe Kelley</a> with the list of the best things to do in Tulsa on the weekends. I began to contribute regularly to Oklahoma Magazine, TulsaKids Magazine, Urban Tulsa Weekly, Ttownmoms.com, Fox23 Daybreak and 2News Midday. \r\n\r\nThen came an opportunity to join the staff of This Land Press, the new media company here in Oklahoma that was deemed by the Columbia Journalism Review to be The New Yorker with balls. I signed on as associate editor, and as I worked on stories about one of Tulsa\'s toughest bars and probably the most exciting thing you\'ll ever do in Muskogee, I helped to build the events and culture site DO WHAT. I also teach blogging and social media at <a href=\"http://www.tulsacc.edu/\">Tulsa Community College</a>, plus a new-media journalism course at <a href=\"http://www.utulsa.edu/\" target=\"_blank\">The University of Tulsa</a>. \r\n\r\nBest of all about this journey have been the TDT readers, who\'ve pushed me and inspired me to create stories, articles, and photos that inform, compel and showcase Tulsa and what it has in store for residents and visitors alike.\r\n\r\nJust as wonderful are my fellow Oklahoma bloggers, who fight the good fight of converting the complacent into advocates for our state and all that it has to offer.\r\n\r\nE-mail me: <a href=\"mailto:tasha@tashadoestulsa.com\">tasha@tashadoestulsa.com</a>\r\nSubscribe on Facebook: <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/tashadoestulsa\" target=\"_blank\">facebook.com/tashadoestulsa</a>\r\nLike TDT: <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/tashadoestulsablog\" target=\"_blank\">facebook.com/tashadoestulsablog</a>\r\nTDT on Twitter: <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/tashadoestulsa\" target=\"_blank\">twitter.com/tashadoestulsa</a>\r\nLike DO WHAT: <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/dowhattulsa\" target=\"_blank\">facebook.com/dowhattulsa</a>','About','','inherit','open','open','','2-revision-17','','','2012-03-03 10:53:07','2012-03-03 16:53:07','',2,'http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/03/2-revision-17/',0,'revision','',0),(10656,1,'2012-03-03 11:01:57','2012-03-03 17:01:57','<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-6658\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/about/traditional-natasha026large/\"><img class=\"size-large wp-image-6658  aligncenter\" title=\"Tasha Does Tulsa Profile\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Traditional-Natasha026large-500x750.jpg\" alt=\"Tasha Does Tulsa Profile\" width=\"450\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\nBy March 2007 I\'d fallen in love with my hometown all over again.

I wanted to shout about Tulsa and what it was becoming from the rooftops. \r\n\r\nAs I was considering how to best do this, I couldn\'t help but remember some of the popular refrains I\'d heard from kids at school: \"There\'s nothing to do in Tulsa,\" \"Tulsa\'s boring,\" and then, of course, the classic, \"I can\'t wait to get the hell out of this town.\" \r\n\r\nI wasn\'t buying it.\r\n\r\nAfter a chat with friends over a few beers at <a href=\"http://www.mcnellies.com/\">McNellie\'s</a> (and, of course, one of their burgers and an order of their incomparable sweet potato fries), I decided to start a blog. <a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/04/tdt-friday-advice-column-19-ways-to-get.html\">In my introductory post I wrote about ways to find your own fun in Tulsa, starting with swearing off highways</a>. Rather than post about all the things I knew to do in town, I wanted to start by writing how Tulsans could discover the city for themselves.\r\n\r\nI wrote off and on until my son came along in early 2008. I quit my day job and started blogging every day from the little desk in our living room, writing and snapping photos to show Tulsans where to have fun with the kids or which restaurant serves the best chiles rellenos, or where to make plans for the weekend.

The folks at AAA Oklahoma are offering their Tipsy Tow service for both St. Patrick\'s Day as well as the NCAA Tournament. Here\'s how it works: Those who imbibe in the alcoholic beverages with a little too much gusto can call <strong>800-222-4357 (program your phone now)</strong> for a swerve-free ride home for both the motorist and one additional person, plus a free tow for their vehicle within a 15-mile radius of the point of pick-up. And no, you don\'t have to be a member of AAA to take advantage of this life-saving service.  Tipsy Tow starts at noon on St. Patrick\'s Day and runs until 10pm on Sunday, March 20 in the metropolitan Tulsa area.
