Mitzi’s Maxim, OR I Once Again Fail Miserably at Joining The Real World
September 26, 2011
I’m walking down Sunset Boulevard dropping off my resume at every restaurant I see within the area. I hate it. The restaurant manager at these places, usually a middle-aged short man with some unsightly mole or neck hair, always looks me up and down, drunk with the power of decision. He’s always very skeptical [...]
Downtown OKC Guide Part II: Midtown
September 7, 2011
This is part two of my three part neighborhood guide about Downtown OKC, covering the Midtown neighborhood. As with the last installment, I have relied heavily on the flat out awesome Lynne Rostochil for her amazing photos and depth of knowledge. Lynne’s comments in are in blue. Midtown is really just the north end of [...]
LA Is Still Rapey: Dispatches from the City of Angels
August 31, 2011
[Our friend Leah Kayajanian moved to LA last month to follow her comedy dreams and what have you. These are here first impressions.] I’m walking down Hollywood Boulevard. It’s 82 degrees outside, and I’m loving it because I know that it’s 110 in Oklahoma. There’s a man standing next to me. He seems pretty homeless, [...]
Home is Whenever I’m with you, OKC
August 17, 2011
Let me tell you a story about a girl (me) who was born and raised in Oklahoma, left Oklahoma for Colorado, and is currently burdened by the internal conflict of whether or not she should come back. My father raised me to live by a famous quote by Vietnamese monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, [...]
Womb Gallery: Giving A Whole New Meaning to ‘Art Opening’
August 10, 2011
Recently, drivers along Broadway Avenue in downtown Oklahoma City have noticed the progress of a mural, painted over two blank white faces of a two- story empty building on 9th Street. With flourescent pinks, radiating diagonal lines, graphic black-and-white eyeballs, and lots and lots of pink- its happy chaos is impossible to miss. This [...]
Oklawhaaa? Totem Pole Park in Foyil
July 28, 2011
The urge to create massive works of folk art out of scrap and concrete is a uniquely American tendency. There may be the occasional Aussie building a massive Dropbear out of railroad ties somewhere in Queensland, but no nation on earth has a higher density of eccentric backyard sculpture than the USA. This is the [...]
Everybody Knows, This Is Somewhere.
July 18, 2011
Everywhere I go, people are having the same conversation. What’s happening is rather remarkable. Everyone is starting to reflect on Oklahoma City, and not just specific parts of it – they’re looking at the whole and thinking about it abstractly. When addressing the symbolic Oklahoma City in their imaginations, it becomes clear that [...]
Downtown OKC Neighborhood Guide Pt 1: The Central Business District
June 16, 2011
Downtown Oklahoma City over the last 20 years is the sort of success story that gets city planners and civic booster types all hot and bothered. What in the late 1980s was a “28 Days Later” style ghost town, a mass of empty buildings and empty lots, has been rehabbed [...]
