gathering on the green

Bringing a sense of community to Brady District
BY G.K. HIZER PHOTO BY CASEY HANSON

hen most people think of downtown, they think of one of two things: work or the clubs. On weekdays, our downtown is buzzing with activity from the business community, while during the evenings and weekends, most people are enjoying themselves patronizing the local restaurants and clubs. Without a central gathering place, however, there has never been much of a neighborhood or community feel, until recently. With last years opening of the Guthrie Green at 111 E. Brady St., in the heart of the Brady District, downtown now has a community gathering spot. Named in honor of Oklahoma native Woody Guthrie, the Green puts a small park, complete with trees, lights, fountains, and a caf within walking distance of most downtown businesses and just steps from the doors of Brady District tenants. In addition to the greenery, the park also has a covered pavilion on its south edge, which can be utilized as a stage. With the parks green providing a subtle upward slope to the north, the park as a whole act as an amphitheater for concerts or other community events. After opening in September 2012, the Guthrie Green hosted concerts sponsored by Tulsa Roots Music every Sunday afternoon through October and concerts by local artists on Friday and Saturday evenings before closing up shop for the winter. As spring arrives and the weather cooperates, the Guthrie Green is opening up again in April. More than just a park and concert venue, the Guthrie Green has become a central hub for the downtown community just a few blocks west of OneOK Field, providing families one more option for activities that dont involve age restrictions. As of press time, a spring concert series was still being planned and could not be ofcially announced, but rest assured that the stage will be highly utilized for family friendly concerts once again for the 2013 season. Beyond that, the Green already has plans in place to offer a variety of activities to Tulsa natives, both those who live downtown and those who prefer to relax downtown. One of the primary events held at the Green is the weekly Sunday Market, which is open

Beyond that, the Green already has plans in place to offer a variety of activities to Tulsans.

from 10am-4pm and hosts a variety of local vendors offering everything from arts and crafts to produce and prepared foods. Acoustic acts perform on the stage throughout the afternoon as well, drawing the neighborhood together without becoming too loud or overwhelming, while adding to the community spirit. In April and May, Guthrie Green provides the gathering spot for Food Truck Wednesdays, from 11:30am-1:30pm, becoming a lunch destination for downtown workers as Tulsas food trucks congregate to provide a variety of lunch options and patrons can relax with live music provided from local artists as well. Also in April, the rst concert series of the year begins with Okie Tone Jam Night, sponsored by local label Okie Tone Records. Music will run from 6pm-9pm, featuring a number of local artists such as John Moreland, Brandon Clark, Wink Burcham, Dustin Pittsley, and others. Food will be available as a variety of food trucks will be on hand each Tuesday night to provide dinner options. Every Wednesday evening, from 6pm-7pm, the Green will host Lululemon Community Yoga, tapping into a different vibe and providing yet another neighborhood and community oriented outreach with a family draw. Additional events are still in the planning stages, including a large concert with a high prole headliner on Saturday, April 27, to coincide with the ofcial opening and ribbon cutting ceremonies for Woody Guthrie Center, which will display the Woody Guthrie Archives. Spring Fling is planned for May 11, providing an evening dance party that is free and open to all ages. The following week, the Green will host Emergency Infant Services Baby Rock Concert from 2pm-6pm on May 18. This event will focus on raising awareness of Tulsas Emergency Infant Services, volunteering and fundraising for the organization, and is organized by the EIS Jr. Board which includes students from over 25 local high schools. These are just a few of the events that are already planned for downtowns newest and most welcoming gathering place. Make sure to reference the parks website at guthriegreen. com for directions, an up to date events calendar and more details on each event. UTW

VISUAL ARTS

ne arts and historical allusion

Oh yeah, and gambling
BY BRADLEY MORRIS PHOTO COURTESY OF HARD ROCK CASINO
troll through the Hard Rock Casino in Catoosa, or any number of other buildings under the authority of the Cherokee Nation, and youll get a good look at some Native American artwork. And its the real deal, not just something that looks all Indian-y. And thats by design, according to Amanda Clinton, communications director for Cherokee Nation Businesses, the holding company over both gaming and non-gaming operations. We have original, authentic Cherokee artwork in all of our casinos, she said. Theres a law that they passed several years ago that states one percent of the cost of all capital projects be used to purchase art from Cherokee artists, so if we have a $5 million project, half a million bucks would be spent on original Cherokee art. The ofcial name of the law is the Cherokee Art and Facilities Act. There are several ideas at work here, Clinton said, but the main thing is authenticity. We want it to be authentic, she said. We dont want to go to someone and say, Hey, we need something prehistoric. But we do have artists, like someone new or someone perfecting their craft, who will come to us and say, Hey, I have this artwork and I want you to take a look at it. Well look at it, and if it ts with what we need for one of our properties. Each property in the 14 counties of the Cherokee Nation has a different theme in regards to the artwork on the walls, and this encompasses more than just casinos. Our agship property, in Catoosa, the theme is a prehistoric one, so you have art depicting the Cherokee Nation in pre-European contact time, Clinton said. All the work there is considered pre-historic Cherokee. If you look at the art there, it denitely looks like prehistoric work. However, whats at the Hard Rock Casino (I mean, other than signed guitars and gold records) is not exactly stuff thats been excavated. Rather, its artwork depicting life and culture in prehistoric America. We have art depicting that era, Clinton explained. It depicts the way a bowl was made, or a spear that was used, or a gourd or a gourd mask. Theyre not artifacts, but artwork made by Cherokee artists depicting that era. Theres more than just art that follows the theme. Its not just an artwork theme, its also an architectural theme, Clinton said. Vinitas whole layout reects the Civil War era. There are railroad ties and lots of wood and things. And at Siloam Springs, theres a very rustic feel. Everything about the building follows that theme. The Siloam Springs casino she mentioned follows another theme, this one from the 19th century.

We had Cherokee artists who were literally starving. Now we can keep the culture alive, and these artists can keep creating art.

At the Cherokee Casino [in] West Siloam Springs on Highway 412, the theme there is The Gateway to Indian Territory, Clinton said. That border between Oklahoma and Arkansas is the border into Indian Territory. When they crossed that line on the Trail of Tears, they were in Indian Territory, so theres 1830s-era artwork there. And theres a new casino of late, this one in Ramona, just south of Bartlesville. The new casino at Ramona is sort of an oil-era theme, Clinton explained. Theres an oil derrick out front that has Cherokee lettering built in to it. The reason behind this is not just an aesthetic one. A lot of the reason we did this was not just to make the buildings look good, Clinton said. But we had Cherokee artists who were literally starving. Now we can keep the culture alive, and these artists can keep creating art that has generations of tradition behind it. Clinton also said that nding the artwork for these casinos and other properties is itself a process. We have Cherokee artists who specialize in their particular type of art, she said. Theres a guy named Dan Corley, and his artwork is gourd masks. He takes these gourds and cuts them up and dries them and adorns them with feathers and paint and things like that. So we know thats Dans thing, so well go to him for that type of artwork. While there are several avenues available to art buyers, Clinton said that an annual October event at the Hard Rock Casino is one of the most reliable. One of the ways weve been able to nd and recruit these Cherokee artists is through the Cherokee Art Market, she said. Its open to artists other than just Cherokee, but its become one of the premier art markets in this part of the country. Ive heard artists tell me that, you know, Prior to you guys having this where I could sell my art, I was literally a starving artist and nobody wanted my work. So in addition to classing up the various Cherokee joints, all the purchasing of the various pieces goes to support local artists. This lets us help Cherokee artists in our area have a viable trade to make a living off of, Clinton said. When it comes to artwork and things on the walls, the Hard Rock Casino presents a possible problem. When it was just the Cherokee Nation Casino, of course, there was Cherokee art all around. But joining forces with the Hard Rock brand required bringing in certain visual elements related to the Hard Rocks aesthetic. That casino has been different since we went in with Hard Rock, Clinton said. Weve tried to marry the two concepts.

And there have been some happy accidents along those lines, most notably regarding one of the most celebrated guitarists of all time. If you look around the casino there, we have a wall that is sort of dedicated to Jimi Hendrix, who had Cherokee heritage, Clinton said. Theres a bronze bust and some records. We try to marry things together like that. Also, theres not a shortage of Cherokee art now that theres a bunch of rock stars signed, sweat-stained, concertworn spandex. There are some areas that are more Hard Rock and parts that are more Cherokee, but some of the original parts of the casino that were built originally are still very much Cherokee, Clinton said. But then weve got a glass sculpture of the sevenpointed star, which is the Cherokee symbol, and weve added some lights that change color, so that makes it a little more Hard Rock. A stroll through the Hard Rock that is characterized by eyes on the walls, as opposed to pit stops to feed cash into machines, will eventually reveal really terric artwork. And the other Cherokee properties follow suit, so the next time youre gambling, take a minute. Look up. See some cool stuff. UTW

Through April 7//Seventh Annual Purim Mask Invitational This spring, area K-12 students participated in the Seventh Annual Purim Mask Invitational, with the opportunity to have their creations displayed for several weeks within the museum. On Purim, it is a mitzvah (commandment) to hear the Megillat Esther (The Book of Esther) that tells the story of Purim read aloud. Due to Esthers disguising her identity as a Jewess, it has become custom to dress up and mask ones identity during the Purim feast. Students create wearable masks recognizing Purim, a joyful holiday. The majority of students in Tulsa area schools are from faiths other than Judaism and are often unaware of Jewish culture and traditions. In creating a mask for Purim and learning the story of Esther and other Purim traditions, students are able to learn more about other cultures and religions. May 1-June 2// LChaim-To Life!

PERFORMANCE ARTS

light at the end of the circle

Multi-year project nears completion at theatre
BY JOE OSHANSKY PHOTOS BY JAMI LEAVITT

ts been a long time coming, but the completion of the Circle Cinema is almost here. Opened in 1928 in Whittier Square also known as Tulsas rst shopping mall the Circle Cinema is Tulsas only standing, pre-1960s movie theatre and our only art house. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Circle has literally seen generations of lmgoers pass under its classic marquee, which has closed at times only to reopen, surviving the decades under several different owners. At one point it catered to another kind of lm lover as a porn theatre. Now, under the leadership of Clark Wiens, and with help from the George Kaiser Family Foundation, philanthropic donations, and ticket sales, the Circle has slowly been taking shape over the last decade as its limped along with one small, 100-seat theatre. It has endured setbacks, such as when a now defunct local contractor got overzealous in tearing out the innards of the building for the new theatre space. As Circle manager Chuck Foxen told me two years ago: They didnt support the building. As they were working they were knocking out supports that were holding the building up and they dug down into the footers. So the whole building was compromised. Just that speed bump alone set them back two years (during a legal battle to get restitution). But the second phase of the Circle has nally reached completion. The new 120seat theatre, with all new projection, high-quality seating, a 30-foot screen, and state of the art connectivity opened last Thanksgiving. When people think about a construction process, they think that you have all of the money to nish it

to the end, Foxen said. This hasnt been like that at all. And now, phase three is hurtling towards the nish line. Happily, the new phase two screen has contributed to a snowball effect that has hastened the progress of the Circles ultimate completion. It has even positively affected the kinds of movies it can get. With the extra screen weve seen a big jump and weve been able to get the bigger independent lms, Foxen recently said. We never would have gotten Django Unchained or Silver Linings Playbook before. It helps widen the base of interest. Its also making their mission to serve local lmmakers easier. Weve never had the opportunity to show a lot of local lms, so now we can have a something like Silver Linings Playbook in the main theatre and a local lm in the next one, Foxen said. We just had a local lmmaker from Grove showing his movie and all his supporters came out. It was great. A lot more energy. And hes ecstatic over the renewed pace of the construction. Its going to go up fast because theres already a lot of stuff done, Foxen said. The next thing theyre going to nish is the lobby. Well have outdoor ticket sales with the original booth, new concessions, and theyll restore that terrazzo centerpiece on the oor, that will be featured in the lobby. We got a grant from Route 66 to help nish that. Well restore it back to the mid-1950s style Circle Cinema. That should be done this summer. Its all nally happening right now. Foxen feels assured that the fruits of years of hard work are more on track than ever thanks to Clark Wiens vision.

His business plan, the income, the budget, its all really coming together. Its on par with what he was imagining, Foxen said. Beyond the new theatre, the phase three auditorium will feature seating for 260, a 40-foot screen, network connectivity for local lmmaker events, digital and 35mm projectors that can exhibit the same lm simultaneously in both new theatres for a sum capacity of 380 attendees. And once thats done, they plan to turn their sights on the old theatre thats supported them (and the seats that have been supporting us). Clark says people will sit on a nail if the movie is good enough, Foxen said. But once the new screens are done and the lobby is done, [replacing] the seats in the old theatre are the next priority on the list. And their Kendall Whittier neighborhood is developing to the Circles advantage. George Kaiser is again tangentially responsible with the construction of West Park apartments, a living space just south on Lewis meant for TU grads and students just the kind of people who are more interested in independent and foreign lms and who will be offered free six-month Circle memberships. The neighborhood is rapidly becoming a place for the arts. We have neighbors behind us that are both arts organizations. A dance company and Loose Leaf [a Tulsabased artist collective]. Theres a whole energy growing in that area and its really exciting, Foxen said. The Circle Cinema is located at 12 S. Lewis Ave. Information and show times can be found at circlecinema.com. UTW

MUSIC

back to basics
Dan Crossland and friends focus on the songs
BY G.K. HIZER
f youre plugged into Tulsas music scene, you already know the Crossland name. As the reigning winner in the Best Party Cover Band category of UTWs annual ABoT Music Awards for four consecutive years, the group bearing Dan Crosslands surname is a local favorite for those looking to cut loose and enjoy themselves. Beyond just being the leader of the party, however, Dan Crossland has a few more tricks up his sleeve. As a full-time musician, the singer and guitarist plays four to ve nights a week in a variety of formats throughout Oklahoma and Arkansas. On occasion, its with his band; other times its as part of a duo with guitarist Matt McHan or one of a number of other friends. More often than not, however, Crossland is entertaining his fans with a skillful solo set that goes beyond your standard acoustic singer/songwriter fare. Armed with his guitar, a pedal board of effects and a phrase sampler, Crossland is able to sample and loop his instrumental and vocal harmonies to become a virtual one man band, lling the evening with a mix of Tulsas favorite cover tunes and a handful of his own original tunes. To many local music fans, this is an extension of Crosslands persona as the front man and conductor of the party with his high energy cover band. If you sit back and pay attention, though, it becomes apparent that hes much more than that. As skillful on guitar is he as on vocals, Crossland is quite the impressive songwriter in his own

right, developing his own material with an eye on releasing a solo album before years end. Perhaps more than anything, however, Crossland proves to be a well rounded entertainer who understands the importance of the song. Over the past year, hes taken advantage of a new opportunity to share his love for the song with others and share the stage with a handful of other songwriters on the rst Sunday of the month, with his South Tulsa Songwriters Night at Baker Street Pub & Grill 6620 S. Memorial Dr. The evening originally started out at CJ Moloneys in Broken Arrow in early 2012, but after roughly six months, Crossland took up an offer to play weekly on Sunday nights at Baker Street and moved Songwriters night with him. On most evenings, Crossland will play a set of his own, then call up a few songwriters to either take over the stage for a short set or sit in as he accompanies them. This isnt an open mic night, however. In order to keep things structured and organized, Crossland plans ahead for his guests, usually hosting between three and ve guests on songwriters night, ranging from old friends and regulars on the local scene to new performers, some of whom may be making their rst appearance on a local stage. When discussing the evening with Crossland, he said, I play all the time and I have the opportunity, so why not help out some other people in the process? It really just started as a fun thing to do, to get up and share the stage with some other people, but it ended up helping people out, he added. Sometimes its easy to forget what its like to get started. What it ended up turning into was an opportunity to help some other songwriters get comfortable on stage, develop some stage presence and even just learn how to set up and play. Although most people arrive at Baker Street to see Crossland play, the audience has been more than receptive to songwriters night, often giving new artists a warm reception as they step up to the microphone As helpful as it is to others, however, Crossland admitted to gaining from the experience as well. I also want to expand myself and I dont get that by playing myself or with the same people all of the time, he said. This gives me a chance to expand myself and my playing while helping give others a platform as well. Crossland was quick to credit Baker Street for opening up its stage on Sunday evenings and providing the

opportunity for himself and others. Baker Street has been unbelievably supportive, he said. Theyve really been accepting in allowing me to do this here and its a great place for it. Its smack in the middle of South Tulsa, where everyone can get to it. It used to be the only place for original music was 18th & Boston or downtown Tulsa, but theyve really opened up their doors here and given me a great opportunity. Granted, Sunday nights arent the only time to catch Dan Crossland taking the stage in Tulsa. You can catch him with his full band, Crossland three to four times a month with a full stage show, lights and a set full of hits (including a playlist that is being completely overhauled for 2013 to keep things fresh) or at a variety of locations around town (either solo or with a partner) throughout the week. If you want to see him truly in his element and catch a glimpse of some of Tulsas up and coming songwriters, however, youll denitely want to stop in at Baker Street on the rst Sunday evening of the month. Make sure you stop in early in the evening so you can grab dinner, enjoy a few drinks and soak in a cross-section of Tulsa talent. Best of all, theres no cover charge, so you can feel free to arrive early and stay late, as the music starts at 9pm and runs well into the night. UTW

ATTRACTIONS

spring staycations
You dont have to stray far from home to relax in style
BY JAIME ADAME PHOTO COURTESY OF CEDAR ROCK INN

he clear destination of choice for vacationers? Its home-sweet-home, according to Randy

White. Consumer surveys show less travel than in years past, a persistent trend that began in the late 1990s, according to White, the chief executive ofcer of Kansas City-based White Hutchinson Leisure and Learning Group. People are spending more time at home than the traditional type of vacations they used to go on, said White. But locals in the leisure-ifnot-necessarily-travel business say the new tradition may just be a local getaway. Over half of our guests are from the Tulsa area that just want a quick getaway without having to really go anywhere, said Tim Van Maren, property manager for the Cedar Rock Inn, 4501 W. 41st St. There can be many benets for staycationers. Couples with children may feel comfortable leaving their loved ones with relatives or a sitter for a night or two, but by staying close they know they can get home quickly should the need arise. Van Maren said even an unexpected stay at the cozy bed-and-breakfast about six miles southwest of downtown Tulsa might be the perfect way to relax. Its a great place to take somebody as a surprise and then take off and enjoy everything the city has to offer, he said. Van Maren described the propertys niche as rustic luxury without a drop of lace anywhere, he noted, describing the site as appealing to both genders. For the practical, he noted that covered parking for guests is often well-appreciated in the always unpredictable Oklahoma weather. The property includes a walking trail and acres of wilderness area, with enough common areas in the building to avoid any sense of being crowded when all rooms are booked, Van Maren said. Weekends often require advance booking, but weeknights might be the options for those looking to be spontaneous. A lot of weeks you could call the week of and still nd a room if you werent particular about the day, Van Maren said. Options include a sauna, private terraces and dual showers, while a gourmet breakfast is prepared for all. Rates range from $146 to $295. For more information, call 918-447-4493 or visit cedarrockinn.com. Janet Mobbs, innkeeper, owner, and laundress of the Inn at Woodward Park, 1521 E. 21st St., said the midtown site offers easy access to plenty of entertainment while remaining tucked away in the heart

of the city. Youd be surprised how many people dont know we have bed-and-breakfasts at all in Tulsa, Mobbs said. Mobbs said the price of gas denitely can inuence her business, with about half of all guests local to the area. She recalled when gas prices truly began to skyrocket a few seasons ago. That was our best summer ever, Mobbs said. The property is across the street from Woodward Park, with the inn offering a special picnic package that Mobbs said is especially popular during the warmer months. Guests receive sandwiches, salad, beverages and, most crucially, a blanket to borrow. A masseuse is sometimes available for guests, Mobbs added. Swan Lake Park is within easy walking distance, while Utica Square is less than a half-mile away. Art lovers who want a nice, leisurely stroll can walk to the Philbrook Museum of Art, about three-quarters of a mile from the inn. Cherry Street is about the same distance. People can park their cars here and they do not have to get their car back out, said Mobbs. Room rates range from $109 to $159, and options include a room with a Jacuzzi tub. For more information, call 918-712-9770 or visit innatwoodwardpark.com The heart of any city is its downtown area, and Tulsas has enjoyed a renaissance in recent years. With the hassles of modern travel, a lot of times, its not fun, noted Shelby Snyder, a sales manager and part of the Snyder family, which has lovingly restored The Mayo Hotel to glory. You dont want to stay in airport lines. The Mayo has become a go-to spot not only for weddings, but events like bachelorette parties for locals. Every single weekend, we have at least a couple of groups of girls coming up to the penthouse [rooftop bar], having dinner, Snyder said. She added: Sometimes you cant even nd places like that in Oklahoma. Its kind of a really big draw for

people to be able to see the skyline. The on-site options offer an urbane and upscale experience, but Snyder also noted that the hotel offers shuttle service for anyone looking to explore all parts of downtown. Once the weather gets better, Guthrie Green has been a really big draw, Snyder said, referring to the new park which opened last year and has already become well-known for hosting concerts and other arts events. The hotels high-quality bamboo bedding often gets compliments, said Snyder, who also touted the luxury amenities offered like valet laundry service. Snyder also noted that all of our suites have full kitchens and are apartment-sized. Room rates generally range from $179 to $229. For information, call 918-582-6296 or visit themayohotel. com. Those looking for live concerts, good food and, yes, gambling can visit the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, 777 W. Cherokee St. in Catoosa. Probably 75 percent of our hotel guests are within a 50 mile radius of Tulsa, said Jon Davidson, senior director of hospitality services for the resort. The casinos are open around the clock and feature table games like blackjack as well as roughly 2,600 electronic gaming options, but Davidson noted that shopping, music, and food enthusiasts can all have a great time at the resort without any wagering. Also nearby is the Cherokee Hills Golf Club. Rates start at $109 nightly. For more information, call 1-800-760-6700 or visit hardrockcasinotulsa.com. White, in Kansas City, said he had some doubts that people even had the money to spend on overnight stays. Instead, the spending on digital technology of all types has gone up, he noted. You can be entertained at home now. Why leave? And you can be entertained very cheaply. But for those with just enough in their budget for more than a download, being a guest and seeing Tulsa from a fresh perspective could be just the right choice. UTW

From a distance, the tall pole looks like nothing more thanwell a tall pole. Inch a bit closer and stand on the circle in the center of the overpass, say hello and suddenly the spot becomes wondrous.

the longer the board

Young people take up land surng for freedom and bonding
BY DWAYNE DAVIS PHOTO BY CASEY HANSON

LEFT TO RIGHT: ALAN KEITH, LAUREN CRAWFORD, IKE WRIGHT, LAURA BIERY, BRENNEN PHIPPS, AND ZACH BROWN

ou nd them on college campuses. Kids are riding them around at OSU and OU, said Lauren Crawford. I recently took a vacation to South Padre Island and I didnt use a car the whole time I was there. Must be a bicycle, right? Perhaps a pony? A scooter, it has to be a scooter. Wrong on all accounts. We are introducing you to the world of longboarding Tulsa style. The 20-year-old Crawford was introduced to the world of longboarding two years ago. Her friend visited the West Coast and came back with a new gadget. I had always skateboarded but I had fallen so many times I wanted something else, Crawford said. She showed me it and it looked just like a surfboard. She called it land surng for the Midwest. I tried it and it just glided perfectly. A longboard, as you may expect, is a longer version of a traditional skateboard. It operates on the same principle but has more stability. A longboard is often called a surfboard on wheels, but it would be a very small surfboard indeed. The longer wheelbase allows a longboarder to push less and cruise more. The wheels are larger than those on a skateboard, which helps eliminate some bumps along the way. For years Tulsans have pursued ways to incorporate downtown and Riverside into our lives. We have seen incremental progress over the years in various forms.

"Y

Longboarders are ahead of the curve. Both downtown and Riverside get plenty of action from the growing contingent of participants. A bunch of people will meet up at Blue Rose Caf or [on] 31st where there is a huge parking lot [at the intersection of Riverside], Crawford said. Their path takes them around the river and back to the car and spots in between. She is a daily rider. She is usually joined by three or four friends. They are not alone as other groups have similar routines. The fresh air is like a slap of freedom to their faces. The scenic landscape and camaraderie hide the virtues of getting exercise along the way. Rest stops and ride-up snack shops make Riverside a perfect backstop. Riders of age can enjoy a beer while carrying their boards inside where they are most welcomed. It also ts the general theme. Most longboarders reside close to ports or the ocean. Longboarding is thought to have originated in Hawaii when the surf was low or too rough. Downtown provides a different challenge. You may have seen longboarding in a movie and not given it much thought. They are known for slaloming which is like weaving, Crawford said. It is just like land surng. Sufce it to say the adventurous longboarders have

located a garage or two in the downtown area that work perfectly for this activity. The garages are known to turn so well that we will go down the garage without stopping, just turning all the way, all the way down, she said. Information is readily available online as well as in skateboarding magazines. Several shops in T-Town sell boards and accessories such as Quickie Mart, 5310 S. Peoria Ave., and Zumiez inside Woodland Hills Mall. You can do a lot of different tricks, Crawford said. There are special gloves you can wear. You can slide on your hands. You can do tricks by riding on your hands. You can do sharp turns. They wont put their foot down to slow them down they will put their hand down and skid on their hand. A lot of people dont wear pads or helmets. I advise they do but they dont. Like most passions in life, longboarding is not just about the activity but the buildup. Longboarders gather. They plan. They execute. They have purchased premade boards. They have retreated to houses to construct their own. Two enthusiastic board owners quickly multiply to six. More than likely we will all start taking notice. Next time someone glides by you may catch yourself doing a double take at the size of the board. UTW

Fashionistas pull out all the stops this spring
BY NICCI ATCHLEY PHOTOS BY CASEY HANSON

pring is a season of renewal and optimism. Flowers bloom, people fall in love, and color once again returns to the fashion forefront. What was featured on the runway last fall is now stocking the shelves of your favorite local boutiques and stores and its all brighter than a fresh pack of freezer pops.

S
Color

Pattern
The abstract and whimsical orals of last season have been replaced by an abundant array of more realistic oral and botanical prints. Now before you start envisioning botany textbook illustrations, please note that these are prints with pop. They are crisply drawn, vibrantly colored, and digitally enhanced, bringing to life the true beauty of this seasons blooms, Sherin of Saks said. Leave it to digital science to improve upon nature. To provide a little edge to all this owery femininity, we can expect to see some contrast using a little geometry. [G]eometrics made a major statement on the runway, Sherin said. We saw a 1960s mood and streamlined architectural silhouettes creating a retro-futuristic vibe. Graphics include bold stripes, checks, and a variety of oversized op-art patterns. Cline at Terris boutique advised that you should dare to be bold with this seasons patterns. Mixed prints on a single item such as a great shift dress with several different prints, she said.It may sound scary but when done right, its a great look that is very popular right now. Throw on a cardigan or blazer, tights, and boots and this look will look great in the fall as well. Laura Scott, owner of Rope on Cherry Street, welcomes the opportunity to have a bit of fun with prints this season, and it will be apparent both in her own closet as well as in the offerings in her boutique. Printed jeans, trousers, leggings, and shorts are all the rave for spring 2013, she said. Wear print either just on the bottom or mix and match prints with bold blouses, tees, sweaters, or knits.

Color is always on the forefront for spring as its certainly an element that denotes the shift from the cooler to warmer weather. As the temperature heats up, so do the hues. At Saks Fifth Avenue you can expect to nd whimsical intensity of the color palette and hues overbrimming with pigment with bold primary colors like red, yellow, and bright blue leading the way on the designer runway. Squint to avoid optical overload, said Colleen Sherin, Saks senior fashion director. Denim and lace are great places to incorporate a splash of both color and texture. In another vein, were also going to see the absence of pigment with optic white. White sets a nice blank backdrop that enhances the boldness of this coming seasons colors and prints. It is also worth mentioning that coming this spring the new black is, well, black. A nice juxtaposition against the optic white, black creates contrast and sets a striking foundation for those who wish to tiptoe into the color trends as opposed to diving right in and dressing head to toe in rainbow bright. According to Terri Cline of Terris, a south Tulsa boutique, Black and white is a huge trend for spring and summer. It is a timeless look that carries over well into any season and is easily transitioned into anyones wardrobe, since many women already own lots of black. Black pairs well with a pop of color. All the designers have hit this trend, Cline added.

Cut, Line, & Silhouette

At Saks you can expect to see what they are calling the enlightened suit.

While the dress is still important, we are seeing a return to tailoring for spring 2013, Sherin said. More and more designers are showcasing light, informal pairings of sartorial separates. Whether pairing a sleeveless jacket with slim pants, a blazer with a pair of shorts, or a crisp shirt or peplum top with a skirt, the enlightened suit is turning a uniform idea into fashion freedom. On the more casual side, you will be seeing an abundance of shorts, she added. Many looks add a little volume and subtract a little from the hemline. The seasons major trends are a big presence here, with precision orals and lace in color sweetening the presentation. Cline predicted that slim is still in. Skinny legs are still the favorite (sorry ladies), but were noticing that straight leg jeans and ankle/capri jeans are a close second, she said. Jeans have become an important staple as they can be dressed up or down and are seasonless. For example, those capri jeans with sandals are perfect for the summer, but pair them with a knee boot for fall! Scott advised long and lean when it comes to your shape, Another great addition to the wardrobe this season is a dress with a longer hemline, she said. While mini dresses will always be popular, I was thrilled to see more options this season for those that want to feel sexy without showing so much leg. Look for hemlines to be just to the knee or a few inches under which really highlights the calves, Scott added. This style you can wear now with a boyfriend blazer over it and pumps, in the spring with a light weight long cardigan belted over it with a pointed toe at, or in the summer with a great straw hat and rafa wedge heel. Whether your style is monochromatic minimalism or technicolor whimsical, a tailored pop inspired geometric, or a bit of irty black lace, there will be something on the shelves this spring thats totally you.

While in many ways thats a good thing, its not healthy to live the go-go-go mentality all the time. Sometimes its necessary to take a breath. Thats where the Osage Forest of Peace, an interfaith retreat center, comes in. Situated on the west side of Sand Springs141 Monastery Roadthe Forest consists of 40-odd acres of cabins, community centers, and a refectory, along with nearly two miles of hiking trails. It claims to have one of the most complete interfaith spiritual libraries in the area. Tellingly, it boasts both a Roman Catholic Blessed Sacrament chapel and a Zen Buddhist rock garden in addition to its primary, interreligious chapel. Established in 1979, the Forest was originally a monastery for Benedictine nuns who were inspired by and wished to incorporate elements of Eastern spirituality primarily Hindu and Buddhist into their Christian practice. The nuns left in the mid-2000s as part of a consolidation of their order, but the spirit of what they tried to accomplish lives on in the forest. The Forest of Peace has a regular schedule most days. Three times a day community members and visitors meet for prayer and meditation in the main chapel. The prayer service is interfaith, drawing from several different spiritual traditions, as do the chapels decorations themselves. On Mondays, which are known as forest days, participants are encouraged to use Mondays to relax and drink in the silence of the forest itself. While the Christian roots of the Forest are still apparent pictures of Christ and Mary abound Sister Jane Comerford, the Forests director for spiritual life, said that she wants the center to be open to people from all paths of life. People who grew up in church are comfortable here, but people who maybe arent comfortable in a church setting are comfortable here as well, she said. With overnight stays available, a visitor can attend ongoing classes on multiple days. Even if you just want the peace and quiet of the forest, you can show up to hike the trails or pray and meditate on your own in one of the chapels. The staff simply asks that a visitor give a call rst so they know youre coming over. Directions to the Osage Forest of Peace can be found on their website, forestofpeace. org, where you can also nd information on their ongoing events. You can contact them by phone at 918- 245-2734.

admiral sails again

Classic drive-in remains part of citys psyche
BY JOE OSHANSKY FILE PHOTO
ts hard to believe that its been two and a half years since that fateful day in September 2010 when a venerable Tulsa movie icon, The Admiral Twin Drive-In, burned down to a pile of smoldering ashes. That day is still a vivid memory for many, including this writer, as Facebook and Twitter lit up with a collective howl of disbelief the communal memories of T-Towns moviegoers pouring out across the digital landscape as the ames and smoke reduced more than 60 years of Tulsa history to nothing in mere minutes. Built in 1951 (and called the Modernaire, originally consisting of one screen) the Twin was already the last of a dying breed of Americana: the drive-in. A feature of Route 66 and a nostalgic reminder of simpler times catching a movie with the family or that special someone on a warm summer night the Twin was one of fewer than 500 drive-ins left in the United States when the re claimed it. It was even a featured location in Francis Ford Coppolas 1983 adaptation of the S.E. Hinton classic, The Outsiders. Imagine seeing Ponyboy and Johnnycake catching a movie at the Twin on the Twins own big screen. It doesnt get more meta. But Tulsa didnt take the misfortune sitting down. Two different fundraisers collected close to $33,000 and the Twins sister in Tulsa lm history, the Circle Cinema, also donated proceeds raised by a short series of midnight movies. Still, the Twins devastated owner, Blake Smith, was falling far short of the funds needed to rebuild. If we dont get something in place relatively quickly, the 2011 season might be in jeopardy, Smith told me at the time. And indeed, 2011 came and went, though it did see progress. The money generated by the fundraisers and obvious local interest helped encourage Smiths backers to lend him the $700,000 to get the new screens built. Without that money, it would have been harder to get that loan, Smith told the Tulsa World last year. Its not easy to get a loan anyway, especially for a drive-in, but that support from all Tulsans got our bankers attention. It made them feel like this is a good investment. Construction nally began out of steel this time on the two 9 story screens. The rest is, once again, Tulsa history. The Twin reopened to rst run glory in June 2012 (showing Men in Black III and Rock of Ages), with vigorous attendance fueled by the reminder that we almost lost what we once took for granted. Smith was blown away by the response. We did great, Smith said. We were front page news and it kinda made us cool again in some ways. Once we got the place rebuilt, once we got through the problem of guring out how to do it, it denitely became very busy. Owing to the freakishly agreeable weather deep into what would be autumn of 2012, and despite the June opening, the Twins return season ran until the rst of December. A fortunate circumstance, considering hes got to pay off the theatre again. Weve been closed for three months. That was probably the shortest period weve been closed and the longest that weve been open, Smith said. More than anything else, I owe a lot more money on the place so I had to get it open. Were just going be open on Fridays and Saturdays through March and we may open Sunday here or there, for Spring Break and what not. Hopefully weve got the snow out of the way. He looks to go seven days a week in April. In addition to the new screens, Smith revamped the food offerings and rebuilt the restroom areas now offering air conditioning and heating and also has the ability to take credit cards to pay admission. New food items include pizza, burgers, and a variety of fried offerings at extremely reasonable prices considering the usual expense of concessions at the theatre.

Of course, audio for the lms soundtrack is still broadcast over the FM band on 88.3 though we miss those old metal speakers that used to hang from the inside of our car windows. And at present, the lms are still being projected from 35mm lm prints, though not for much longer. Weve got all the money in place for the digital conversion. Well fully be installed by May 1 but it may be more like April 1, Smith said. Its been a long road, but the future is looking bright for Smith and his veritable Tulsa icon. The Admiral Twin, located at 7355 E. Easton St. one block north of I-244, reopened for the 2013 summer season March 1. Tickets are not pre-sold, so its rst come rst serve.

FOOD

a eet of eats
Food trucks take the high road with high-end fare
BY ANGELA EVANS PHOTOS BY ERIN LEMMOND

he food truck revolution has nally taken over Tulsa. Favorite street food classics, like hot dogs and pizza, can be found by the hungry masses. But there are other trucks that will take you to new destinations of taste. So put on your seatbelts; its going to be a delicious ride.

Lone Wolf
Once you get a taste of Lone Wolf, youll begin prowling the streets, voraciously hunting for their truck. Their unique Vietnamese-French fusion menu features the mythical bahn mi sandwiches. Using bread baked by Antoinette Baking Company, Lone Wolf stuffs the inside with sweet and savory kung pao pork, soy portabella or lemongrass tofu. Then they take kimchi which is a Vietnamese-style sauerkraut with ginger and other spices and then caramelize it on the grill with just a touch of honey. Their kimchi fries are out of this world, especially when you add a fried egg and some candied bacon. Lone Wolf roams the streets of Tulsa, so keep up with their Facebook and you can easily track their truck.

Dog House
The guys who started it all, Dog House has been slingin hot dogs in T-Town for years now. Posted in front of busy bars and hopping hot spots, no one can satisfy a party animal like the Dog House. Using only the nest ingredients, they feature all-beef wieners, bratwurst and Polish sausages that will melt in your mouth. Top those dogs however you like, from sauerkraut to sriracha, they have what you need and are probably just around the corner from wherever you may be enjoying a frosty beverage.

Mr. Nice Guys

Dont let the name fool you. Mr. Nice Guys can whip up one mean taco. In the food truck biz, tacos seem to be the most ubiquitous. But Mr. Nice Guys has a style of their own, with a laid-back, almost Rastafarian take on tacos. Though their menu is small, their tacos are mighty. Theres nothing like a few tacos topped with pico, cilantro, and a squirt of lime to top off a nice evening.

downtown hot spots, often partnering with Lone Wolf. They sell pizza by the slice, selling the likes of pepperoni and even vegetarian options like margherita. But rumor has it that their Stromboli and calzones will become your new amore. If they arent hanging out by the hottest clubs in downtown at night, they can also be found next to the Sams Club during lunch hours.

Jezebel of Bohemia Moveable Feasts Smoke on the Street

One of the rst brick and mortar restaurants to take to the streets is Smoke on Cherry Streets meat mobile, Smoke on the Street. They bring their own brand of barbecue to the streets of Tulsa, featuring their signature ribs and brisket sandwiches. Grilled cheese sandwiches are taken up a notch by adding a shmear of Smokes house-made bacon jam. There are even a few unique items you wont nd on their restaurant menus, like pig ears. These delectable porky lobes are braised, then barbecued and avored with a rich Asian avor. Its just one of the many imaginative items they have to offer on their mobile menu. This truck is more than just a food truck its haute rod cuisine. Teri Fermo created a menu that one would nd in any ne restaurant, but instead its right down the street. Her sweet potato fries with trufe oil are transformed into a delicacy and her fried shrimp tacos are out of control. She serves lunch often on the corner of 4th and Boston, but makes regular appearances at the Cherry Street Farmers Markets in the spring. Some of her specialties include gnocchi Bolognese or linguine and clam sauce. Now that doesnt sound like typical food truck fare. Perhaps Teri Fermo described it best, though, when she called her cuisine sassy, classy, and bad assy.

Lolas Caravan
Lola Polazzo is a well-known name and had an eatery downtown for many years. Now, shes taken her operation to the streets, in a swanky silver airstream that docks around 11th and Peoria. Another feisty chef, she has a menu lled with food that makes one rethink what fast food is. Her Chick Adobo sandwich is a must-try, with a tangy adoboinfused chicken with a hit of goat cheese and a roasted pepper salsa. Her menu also includes egg salad sandwiches, burritos, tacos, and her desserts are every-changing and absolutely to die for. UTW

Andolinis
Another street food favorite is pizza, and Andolinis was the rst to hit the road with their signature slice. Already a fan favorite on Cherry Street, Andolinis truck is quickly spreading the love to

eating out with allergies

Tulsa eateries focus on specic health concerns
BY CHARLES D. BEARD PHOTO BY JAMI LEAVITT

ating out. Its how every good rst date begins. Its how families and friends meet each other for a fun, relaxed time. But when you have food allergies, eating out can be nerve wracking sometimes impossible. Imagine being allergic to dairy: Mexican cuisine would be almost out of the question because of the cheese. If youre allergic to peanut, Thai food becomes very difcult. And forget about soy. Soy is in everything. I had the great blessing is that the right word? of marrying into a family riddled with food allergies. Ive got a nephew thats even allergic to apples. Seriously, apples. As you might imagine, eating out as an extended family is a rare event we normally eat at each others houses. But every once in a while we want to take a break from cooking and just relax as a family with a nice meal. If someone in your family has food allergies, you know exactly what I mean. Eating is fun; constantly cooking is hard especially when its so easy for others to pick up something for dinner. But never fear. Tulsa has culinary options for the even the most allergic of families without causing your loved ones to blow up like puffer sh.

Hancock believes Hideaways allergen-sensitive options are becoming better known. He estimates that ve or six patrons on a typical weekday shift request the gluten free crust, and 12 or 13 do so on a weekend shift. And Hideaways famous customer service comes rst. Managers often personally cook pizzas with allergen information. Usually we do it ourselves, Hancock said.

Raw Intentions
My mother-in-law is even more complicated than my kids. Not only is she allergic to soy and peanut, she also has Celiacs (so no gluten). And shes a vegan. Oy. Fortunately, even she can eat out in Tulsa. Raw Intentions, located near 81st and Aspen in Broken Arrow, is the areas only raw food restaurant. You read that right. Theres not even an oven in the kitchen at Raw Intentions. Because everything is raw, it almost has to be vegan. Raw Intentions uses no animal products at all, said Denise Madeja, the restaurants owner. While tree nuts are used in the kitchen, there are no peanuts and very little soy or oil. Additionally, theres almost no gluten. Only in the sprouted grain wrap, Madeja said. Madeja believes that some food allergies might be cured simply by eating a fresher version of the same thing. When asked how she might accommodate a corn allergy, she told of a client who had a corn allergy but loved Mexican food. This client bought corn chips from Raw Intentions and ate them at a local Mexican joint. Madeja said the client came back the next day and said she had no bloating, no nothing. Madeja credits this to her fresh produce. My corn is organic, she said. If its not organic, its genetically modied. Everything [here] is based on fresh produce. The fact that Madeja doesnt do genetically modied food may be why her restaurant is so friendly to people with allergies. When [people] adapt to a plant-based diet, a lot of food allergies disappear, she said.

Hideaway Pizza
Its a Tulsa institution. With locations all over the metro area, Hideaway has satised our craving for pizza pie since its establishment in 1957. For the past year or so, its expanded its customer base by catering to diners with food allergies. Its begun offering gluten-free crusts, as well as soy free and dairy free options. Joshua Hancock, a manager at Hideaways 81st and Harvard location, emphasized that the restaurant takes pains to reduce the risk of cross contamination. We pull sauce from a barrel that hasnt been touched by our, Hancock said, adding that gluten-free pizzas are cooked on separate trays and the preparers use gloves while making them. While Hideaway emphasizes gluten-free products, managers are generally trained on what products may contain other allergens such as soy and dairy. The gluten-free crusts, for example, contain neither of those allergens. Except for Alfredo, none of the sauces have soy. Additionally, [w]e dont serve any peanuts, Hancock said. My children, for example, arent wheat intolerant, but they are allergic to soy, casein, and peanut. They love getting their own pizzas at Hideaway. My daughter gets hers with the gluten-free crust and loads it down with bacon and sausage (both allergen free). In lieu of cheese, she gets an olive oil and garlic glaze. My son gets the same thing, but with black olives. Some folks just have to be different.

Craft cocktails become serious business
BY ANGELA EVANS TOP PHOTO BY AARON STEPHENSON

Valkyrie

umans have enjoyed consuming alcoholic beverages since the beginning of recorded history. But all that booze wasnt going to serve itself, so the legendary role of the bartender was born. Oftentimes the bartender was the person who brewed the beer or distilled the hooch, so dedication to the art of alcohol was ingrained. The modern bartender has evolved into one part chef, one part mad scientist (with just a splash of psychiatrist). Liquors are now infused with avors galore from tobacco to bacon and transform a classic cocktail into a dazzling concoction. Forward-thinking garnishes leave tired lemons and leftover limes obsolete. Everyone is making their own bitters when just a few short years ago a bottle of bitters would collect dust on the shelf. A new batch of bars in Tulsa is creating quite a buzz, making old techniques new again and crafting cocktails with their own signature styles.

The Tobacco Old Fashioned is spiked with tobaccoinfused bitters and takes a bold departure from the classic by using rum instead of whiskey or rye. Not only does Hodges Bend mix a mean cocktail, they also employ many methods for crafting the perfect cup of coffee.

orange bitters with an orange twist. The Vaults vintage dcor and menu may take you back in time, but their cocktails are bringing in a whole new era.

Smoke on Cherry Street

Smoke 1542 E. 15th St. is probably best known for heating up Cherry Street with its signature steaks and delicious cuisine. They have just as much expertise behind their robust bar. With a lineup of liquors infused with everything from apples to pineapples, Smoke takes a standard like an Old Fashioned and creates a New Fashioned, which is probably one of the best drinks in town. They also use their own proprietary blends to create cocktails like the Smoke Stoli Doli, which is vodka infused with pineapples and Madagascar vanilla bean. Next time you are perusing the menu at Smoke, be sure to check out their lineup of cocktails. UTW

The Alley Gastropub

The Alley Gastropub 3324 E. 31st St. is a resurrection of the St. Michaels Alley of yore. Part of its rebirth as a gastropub includes a menu replete with inventive and tasty cocktails. The Alley has a fantastic menu with upscale food items and new takes on old favorites. So along with dinner, you can enjoy a craft cocktail created with care. Their Darlin Clementine is a vodka drink with clementine juice, lemon-honey sour, the bold addition of a bit of rosemary, and a splash of sparkling wine. Beer lovers arent left out at The Alley, especially with their Pig & Pint Night, which features a pork-themed dish and a pint of beer for only $10.

The Valkyrie 13 E. Brady St. took Tulsas drinking scene by storm with bold takes on old favorites and a dedication to the idea of the craft cocktail. Fresh ingredients, top-notch liquors, and the expert eye of their barkeeps have already made Valkyrie a thing of legend. They have an everchanging menu of cocktails, beers, and wines. They can blow your mind with an old classic like a Manhattan or Gimlet. Then they can change the way you see rum with a brave new concoction of their own, like The Bumbo, a mixture of rum, lime, cinnamon, and nutmeg. A drink from The Valkyrie will transform you into a bold weekend warrior indeed.

Blu
Sleek, modern, and upscale, Blu 111 N. Main St. is an important addition to the bar scene in the Brady District. With a high-end Las Vegas club interior, their menu also boasts some luxurious cocktails. They take liquor to the next level, infusing vodka with bell pepper, Anaheim, and habaneros to create the perfectly spicy Bloody Mary. They also infuse bourbon with fresh apples and cinnamon sticks, making a sweet and spicy blend that almost makes bourbon better.

The Vault Hodges Bend

One of Tulsas latest upstarts is Hodges Bend 823 E. 3rd St. This new hot spot hearkens back to the Rat Pack days, with dim lighting that makes conversations feel more intimate while vibrant music plays in the background. Cozy booths and a sturdy bar make the perfect setting for what could be some of the most serious cocktail chemists in town.

If you are in the mood for some Mad Men-style cocktails and fare, look no further than The Vault 620 S. Cincinnati Ave. This midcentury-themed restaurant also has a fantastic bar called the Tom Tom Room. Their menu is lled with classics, like the Mai Tai or Manhattan, but also come up with their own spin on cocktails.
