We sipped a Marshall Atlas and chewed a few slices of pizza with what I consider to be the best dough in Tulsa. Hopped up carbs and ale, we were ready to take on the artsy side of Tulsa.  \n\nA short 200-foot stroll to Brady Street landed at the Brady Artist Studio. We were welcomed by the artfully messy world of ceramics when we opened the aged, heavy studio door. Clay blobs, pottery wheels, water filled containers, various supplies and ceramics for sale claimed most open real estate in the studio.\n\nNext door, the Tulsa Glassblowing Studio provided us a visual show. I was surprised that 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. We sat down, and I realized why. It was around 120 degrees where we sat.  \n\nWe watch the young glass blower and his assistants grab the long metal pipe with the glowing red glass hanging at the end like a Willy Wonka sized lollipop. He removed the soft glass and brought it to his metal table where he began methodically rolling the bulb, reshaping it to his desire. As he was doing this, his assistant blew with puffy cheeks into the metal pipe making the bulb grow rounder. At this point, my body was begin to protest with dizziness. We then sought the cooler outside air, (100 degrees still), but 120 degrees was worth a short show.\n\nWith limited time, we did not stop at every participating establishment, but I noticed the Chrysalis Salon displayed art work, but couldn’t see if it was for sale. We then wandered into Polypress to find that they actually were not open after we had already begun our snooping; it was only slightly awkward. But, I did discover they sell local art work from the shop as well as letter-pressed invitations and cards. We trotted on passed Glacier Confections, our local chocolatiers, which smelled of chocolate heaven; and the new bar, Valkyrie, smelled of a good time.\n\nAt the Tulsa Artist Coalition Gallery the paintings of Ryan Pack produced impressive Wonderland-like works. Her art references modern day heroines with a fairytale twist. Then on to around the corner, next to The Tavern restaurant, we noticed people walking into an establishment. We followed with our curiosity being met by Pantoja’s gallery. I had read about the Cuban artist Jose, Antonio Pantoja Hernandez, visiting Tulsa on political asylum but thought he was no longer showing. His works are sadly beautiful filled with the brutal realities of Cuban political dictatorship.\n\nLeaving Pantoja’s, it was closing in on 9 p.m. as the sun was dipping below Tulsa’s horizon; this is when the studios typically close. With the remaining minutes, we piddled around the new Henry Zarrow Center, hoping not to become the annoying visitors who just don’t seem to leave after hours. The space was a great gallery space, still crisp with newness and flaunting the works of TU art professors as well as the Gilcrease collection of Thomas Moran’s watercolors and sketches.\n\nAfter 9, and after my pouting over not having enough time to see the Living Arts exhibit, we walked to Club 209, The Art Bar for additional art and a possible cocktail. It was opening night for artist Autumn Strutton, who was actually the floor R.A. at my college dormitory, which reminded me of how largely small this planet is.  \n\nAt the end of our date, we walked to our car parked a block north of The Brady. “Look,” I urged my husband to join in my awe. We pivoted our heels in the middle of Boulder Avenue. It was a beautiful sight—the view of Tulsa’s skyline I had seen before in passing but never stopped and looked. I then looked around at the antiqued red bricks of the Brady Districts buildings. These buildings were once warehouses; a stale and predictable service of storage. Now, the buildings enclose a creative industry, redefining Tulsa.\n\nBritt Greenwood\nwww.tulsaartspot.com\nwww.facebook.com/tulsaartspot\nTwitter: @tulsaartspot\n\nI will be at the next First FridayArt Crawl on August 3rd at a booth on Brady Street promoting Oklahoma’s only arts advocacy organization, Oklahomans for the Arts, in which I am the Advocacy Captain for the Tulsa area.','Get Your Crawl On: First Fridays in The Brady Arts District','','inherit','open','open','','11789-revision','','','2012-08-03 14:41:39','2012-08-03 20:41:39','',11789,'http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/08/11789-revision/',0,'revision','',0),(12770,1,'2013-02-08 09:47:45','2013-02-08 15:47:45','<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>?

It\'s powered by Skulls Unlimited, \"the world\'s leading supplier of osteological specimens\" (1-800-659-SKULL), which sells various skulls to places like museums and medical schools. Inside I found various small animal skulls, snake ribs, and even human finger bones. They were priced at $10 each (reasonable?) and offered in a coffee cup near the cash register, like candy bars by the grocery store checkout.\r\n\r\nFrom the store I procured a prairie dog skull (the perfect birthday gift for a certain friend) and <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baculum\" target=\"_blank\">the baculum bone</a> of a raccoon. I heard that in the world of premium coffee stirrers, a baculum is the gold standard. Most of the time, though, I just I keep my new baculum in my purse. It\'s been fun to show it to people at parties.\r\n\r\nIf you like the idea of owning your very own animal skull, <a href=\"http://www.skullsunlimited.com/record_collection.php?id=29\" target=\"_blank\">check out the Skulls Unlimited March specials</a>. The muskrat skulls seems to be a particularly good buy. When you have a few minutes to spare, peruse the rest of skullsunlimited.com.

There are MOUNTAINS in southeastern Oklahoma.\r\n\r\nThey\'re the Ouachita Mountains. They\'re not exactly the Rockies, or even the Ozarks. But they\'re gorgeous, low-slung and rolling and crowded with pine. \r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://digital.library.okstate.edu/encyclopedia/entries/O/OU001.html\" target=\"_blank\">It\'s said that the area is named for the Caddo word that means \"good hunting ground.\"</a> These mountains would have been some of the first parts of what would become Oklahoma that the first French explorers to traverse the U.S. had ever seen. And the Choctaw, ripped from their ancestral lands in the east, came into Indian Territory via the Ouachita Mountains. I imagine that their peaks would have provided those first glimpses of an alien place.\r\n\r\nLater, when Robbers Roost was on the list of the Indian Territory\'s many nicknames, the Ouchita Forest was an outlaw highway. I.T. was like home plate, a place where you could slip behind a veil and keep on running, and no one would give chase. These peaks and valleys gave these people, the ones who had things to hide—sometimes big things (I\'m looking at you, <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_Starr\" target=\"_blank\">Belle Starr</a>)—a chance to disappear, to devise the next move. Or to reinvent. Begin again.\r\n\r\nAnd then there\'s this guy. He lives there now, along the Talimena Scenic Drive.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/07/roaming-talimena-drive-special/dsc_0590/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11681\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11681\" title=\"Talimena Drive LeFlore County Oklahoma\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/DSC_0590-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Talimena Drive LeFlore County Oklahoma\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/07/roaming-talimena-drive-special/dsc_0594/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11682\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11682\" title=\"Talimena Drive LeFlore County Oklahoma\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/DSC_0594-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Talimena Drive LeFlore County Oklahoma\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThis place has made him a fearless thing.

We dodged it, diving into our car just as we felt sprinkles on our ears and our shoulders. We watched the storm from behind our windshield at first, and then we tailed it as it hovered over into the valley. \r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/07/roaming-talimena-drive-special/dsc_0615/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11684\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11684\" title=\"Talimena Drive LeFlore County Oklahoma\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/DSC_0615-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Talimena Drive LeFlore County Oklahoma\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nNo Bigfoot, though.

And the Choctaw, ripped from their ancestral lands in the east, came into Indian Territory via the Ouachita Mountains. Their peaks provided those first glimpses of an alien place.\r\n\r\nLater, when Robbers Roost was on the list of the Indian Territory\'s many nicknames, the Ouchita Forest was an outlaw highway. I.T. was like home plate, a place where you could slip behind a veil and keep on running, and no one would give chase. These peaks and valleys gave these people, the ones who had things to hide—sometimes big things (I\'m looking at you, <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_Starr\" target=\"_blank\">Belle Starr</a>)—a chance to disappear, to devise the next move.

Their peaks provided those first glimpses of an alien place.\r\n\r\nLater, when Robbers Roost was on the list of the Indian Territory\'s many nicknames, the Ouchita Forest was an outlaw highway. I.T. was like home plate, a place where you could slip behind a veil and keep on running, and no one would give chase. These peaks and valleys gave these people, the ones who had things to hide—sometimes big things (I\'m looking at you, <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_Starr\" target=\"_blank\">Belle Starr</a>)—a chance to disappear, to devise the next move.

There are MOUNTAINS in southeastern Oklahoma.\r\n\r\nThey\'re the Ouachita Mountains. They\'re not exactly the Rockies, or even the Ozarks. But they\'re gorgeous, low-slung and rolling and crowded with pine. \r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://digital.library.okstate.edu/encyclopedia/entries/O/OU001.html\" target=\"_blank\">It\'s said that the area is named for the Caddo word that means \"good hunting ground.\"</a> These mountains would have been some of the first parts of what would become Oklahoma that the first French explorers to traverse the U.S. had ever seen. And the Choctaw, ripped from their ancestral lands in the east, came into Indian Territory via the Ouachita Mountains. I imagine that their peaks would have provided those first glimpses of an alien place.\r\n\r\nLater, when Robbers Roost was on the list of the Indian Territory\'s many nicknames, the Ouchita Forest was an outlaw highway. I.T. was like home plate, a place where you could slip behind a veil and keep on running, and no one would give chase. These peaks and valleys gave these people, the ones who had things to hide—sometimes big things (I\'m looking at you, <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_Starr\" target=\"_blank\">Belle Starr</a>)—a chance to disappear, to devise the next move. Or to reinvent. Begin again.\r\n\r\nAnd then there\'s this guy. He lives there now, along the Talimena Scenic Drive.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/07/roaming-talimena-drive-special/dsc_0590/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11681\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11681\" title=\"Talimena Drive LeFlore County Oklahoma\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/DSC_0590-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Talimena Drive LeFlore County Oklahoma\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2012/07/roaming-talimena-drive-special/dsc_0594/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11682\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11682\" title=\"Talimena Drive LeFlore County Oklahoma\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/DSC_0594-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Talimena Drive LeFlore County Oklahoma\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThis place has made him a fearless thing.

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. \r\n\r\nA night of local food, beer, art, and bowling—even though the art had an early bedtime.','First Friday Art Crawl, Play by Play','','publish','open','open','','first-friday-art-crawl-play-by-play','','','2012-09-07 09:26:21','2012-09-07 15:26:21','',0,'http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?p=11789',0,'post','',1),(12899,1,'2013-03-07 14:02:54','2013-03-07 20:02:54','<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2011/03/where-to-eat-and-drink-in-tulsa-this-st-patricks-day-parking-tipsy-tow/picture-2-14/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7122\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Picture-25.png\" alt=\"Lucky Latte St. Patrick&#039;s Day Joebot&#039;s Coffee Bar Downtown Tulsa Oklahoma\" title=\"Lucky Latte St. Patrick&#039;s Day Joebot&#039;s Coffee Bar Downtown Tulsa Oklahoma\" width=\"387\" height=\"523\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7122\" /></a>\r\n\r\nHey, you.

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.\nBricktown OKC. 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.\nCherry Street Tulsa. Tulsa’s 15th Street will rise to meet you for an open-air St. Pat’s party, between Kilkenney’s and SMOKE.

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, for the rest of the week. He was asking me to two-step to the mailbox, down the coffee aisle in the grocery store, in the parking lot at my office. And I did all of these things. (Bob has that effect on people.)\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. hour. 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? It\'s where my uncle met my (now) aunt. Now they have a brood of pond-jumping spaniels and a Vegas wedding album full of photos of an Elvis tribute artist/their wedding officiator. 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).

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.

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. 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 the <em>force</em> that is <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.
