Ideas for Adventures in Oklahoma

Infant Crisis Services Center
0December 3, 2010
Uncovering Oklahoma decided to dedicate the month of December to notably charities that help children.
With the Holiday season upon us, families are struggling more than ever to feed, cloth and diaper their little ones. And sometimes that’s not even enough- one place in Oklahoma City offers a helping hand to those among us who need it most- the Infant Crisis Center.
Sasha paid a visit to the center and chatted with Amy Spielberger, spokesperson for the Crisis Center.
Check out the segment to learn more about the center, their goal and how YOU can help the children of Oklahoma!

Still need ideas for gifts? This week’s (and the next several weeks) Something Sundays feature will focus on gifts from local businesses.
For guys, Warpaint Clothing Co. (1710 NW 16th St. in Oklahoma City) has some unique t-shirts available. Two of which you can check out above. The shirt designs range from of tribal symbols to classic rock and roll images.
For ladies, The MakeUp Bar (7646 N. Western Ave. in Oklahoma City) has Bliss’ “I like big ‘butter’ and i cannot lie set.” The set features a lemony moisture cream and liquid lather which Includes a super-sized lemon+sage body butter (14 oz) and lemon+sage soapy suds (16 oz). If you’re not familiar with The MakeUp Bar, step inside to find the most exciting cosmetic, skin care, fragrance and specialty lines available on the scene today.
For rock music lovers, cOnspiracy of Angels has released their debut album, Transcendelia. To briefly (and I mean briefly) talk more about the band, I asked lead singer, Jessica Alcorn, a few questions.
What is cOnspiracy of Angels all about?
cOA is about making the world a better placce by spraying a stream of lasers and a sparks.
How would you describe the album?
Transcendelia is an experiment in the interest of community and of creative freedom.
Find a copy of Transcendelia at Size, Guestroom, or the Red Cup in Oklahoma City. iTunes and Amazon also carry it. Coming soon to major retailers like Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Barnes and Noble, etc.
Thursday’s Don’t Have to Suck
0August 13, 2010
Our Comedy Around OKC episode comes around to showcasing some classic stand-up comedy with Thursday’s Don’t Suck at the 51st Speakeasy. Along with Uncovering Oklahoma’s interview with Brad Chad Porter on the showcase are comedy bits from Sam Higgs, Spencer Hicks, and of course Brad himself. Best of all: the show is free, but you 21 or older to enter.
Kabaret Falschtanz at Maker’s Straight Up
0July 23, 2010
The last Sunday of every month at Maker’s Straight Up, the Kabaret Falschtanz puts on a show of dance, comedy, music, and theatre that’s sexy and a little bit naughty. Our Jessica Alcorn interviews director Lynna Schneider along with other members of Kabaret Falschtanz.
Their next show is this Sunday, July 25. I highly recommend checking out the show.
The Dueling Piano Bar
0July 14, 2010
Uncovering Oklahoma (finally) visits Michael Murphy’s Dueling Piano Bar in Oklahoma City’s Bricktown district for our Comedy Around OKC episode! Our new guest host, Jessica Alcorn (who is filling in for Sasha), interviews General Manger, Wayne Potter, along with musicians Stephen M. Winter and Lee Huff to talk about the show. Be sure to hit up the Comedy Around OKC episode page for more information and pictures. (I also updated that page, fixing some stuff on OKC Improv and added an album link.)
Bonus fact: we had originally planned to do a segment on Michael Murphy’s for our first episode, however, timing for an interview with the owner never worked out. It was for the best though because we did a better job on the video now then what we would have done back then. I did manage to use one quick shot of b-roll (it’s the clip of the girls singing on stage) from when I filmed some stuff on the place last year.
