Lost Tulsa Interview on Tulsa Times

[Reposted from Lost Tulsa ]

For those of you who either missed the show last Saturday, or live out of range of our local PBS station, I've posted the Tulsa Times interview up for viewing.

A couple of notes. First of all, I was incredibly nervous...and it's apparent. I didn't even realize that my vocabulary contained the phrase "..what have you.", but after seeing myself repeat it 4 or 5 times, I've vowed to eliminate it forever. I also had a killer case of cottonmouth, which I just couldn't seem to get over throughout the interview.

There are a couple of corrections I'd like to make. I watched them bulldoze the remainder of the Will Rogers Theater into a big pile of rubble sometime around '84, rather than the late '80s. It had been closed since 1976. Also, the photos shown during my comments near the end about Tulsa's Lost Twins were not quite what I'm talking about (and those aren't my shots, either). They are cool pics of former Tulsa drive-ins, but that's already been covered very well over at TTM. The twins I'm speaking of include the ones mentioned in the interview (Park Lane and Boman) and others well known for their lively Midnight Movies.

Enjoy the video. Try not to laugh too hard. I've been asked by Denver Foxx to speak with him on his KRMG show Saturday morning. I'll try to record it and post it up too...since it'll be at 7:30am.

 

Holiday pics

Late as usual, but here are some holiday pictures. I spent more time enjoying time with family and much less time with my camera flashing in their faces. I was really happy to be able to visit with everyone. The unfortunate result is that there are fewer pics of everyone than I'd wished for.

I hope this new year finds everyone doing well. We're looking forward to the suprises and challenges that will come our way.

 

Dodge Challenger Concept Pics

During my last years of high school, I used to go visit a salvage yard way out at the south end of Garnett, near the river. I'd sit inside this wrecked 1970 Challenger, gripping the t-handle shifter and dreaming of the day that I could drive such an awesome example of Mopar muscle.

Now, with all of the "retro" cars being released such as the Charger, Mustang and Mini Cooper, Dodge is seriously working on a modern version of the Challenger.

If these pics are anywhere close to the final production design, I'm going to be doing a lot of drooling when these things hit the streets.
