Converted to Talent
The much neglected musicians directory has been converted to our talent archive. The talent section features not only musicians, but artists, comedians, magicians, and other talented people we’ve met during our travels. However, only bands and singers are on there now. Though, I did finally add listings for all of the musicians I met at Second Wind. There are also pictures and updated information on everyone too. On Tuesday I went to Midtown Deli and captured some pictures of cOnspiracy of Angels, which you can see a few choice ones in the Rock Bands page.
On the subject of pictures, on our Facebook page I’ve uploaded the pictures from our trip to Earth and Soul. While I was uploaded these, I noticed that I never uploaded the pictures from Collected Thread, so those up too. While you’re on our Facekbook page, become a fan!

Deals Section Now Open
Our deals section is finally open! I’ve noticed that local small business don’t really have a good way to list their sales other than their own web site, twitter, or Facebook page. So as a special thank you to the past business we’ve featured, I created the deals section to list sales, coupons, special celebrations, and any good deal here on Uncovering Oklahoma.
To open it up, I have two listings, both in Norman. I’m putting the spotlight on Violet Avenue Boutique’s deal because you can enjoy 10% off any one item with mention of Uncovering Oklahoma! Limit 1 per customer and only applicable to non-sale items. Hurry because it won’t last forever!
Listings in our deals section are free, so contact me if you have a sale going on.

Some things for Sunday
For this week’s Something Sunday I’m highlighting the MGold Brazil jewelry line at Violet Avenue Boutique in Norman’s Campus Corner. Being a guy, I don’t have much to say about jewelry other than it’s nice. Guys, it’s gold, so you may want to consider buying some pieces for your girl. Most of the items in the picture above are priced for under $50. (Maybe all. I’m not positive.)
On our Facebook page, I uploaded pictures I took from OKC Improv on February 13. I took three of the pictures and updated the events section with them. I know, I need to sit down and hunt for worthwhile events to list. However, I did add OKC StorySLAM to Events section. I just recently heard about StorySLAM and being a crazy writer, I’m going to personally visit their next show in March.
Okay, it’s time for me to get to bed. Hopefully, I’ll continue this weird dream I had this morning. It involved me traveling with some friends in some post-apocalyptic future world, catching a bomb from the sky to power an electric car, and kicking eight-foot tall light purple muscular monsters in the crotch. I guess that’s what I get for eating biscuits at Beverly’s in two in the morning. Goodnight, everyone!

Updates
Okay, I got a bunch of updates to talk about, but first some big news: Uncovering Oklahoma has been set up as an LCC! Translation: we’re legally a business now. I had a friend take a picture of me yesterday holding up the LLC certificate.
As I mentioned, I do have some updates. The About page has received a bit of a facelift and updates. Parts of the sponsor agreement have changed. I also tried to upload some pictures of OKC Improv to our Facebook page, but Facebook glitched out on me. They may show up later or they may not. If not, I will try again later.
Speaking of OKC Improv, if you’re going to tonight show’s I will be there for the second show to help film it. Now, if you already went to the show and saw our advertisement on the back of the brochure, thanks for visiting us! We got a video on Collected Thread coming soon. (Tuesday at the latest, I swear!) Our next episode will focus on awesome art galleries. Plus, we got all kinds of other great stuff planned, so save our site to your bookmarks, speed dial, top sites, favorites, or whatever you do.

DVDs, Fixes, Sponsors, Oh My!
With the Holiday madness dwindling down, it’s time to get Uncovering Oklahoma back on track. Future plans include finishing the fashion episode and start work on a romantic adventures themed episode in time for Valentine’s Day, which I’m looking for suggestions on the latter.
One project I have been working on is a DVD collection of everything we’ve filmed in 2009. Want proof? Here’s a screen shot of the menu selection on episode one. The DVD will include a few videos not seen on the web site, video commentary, new edits on the videos (namely episode four), consistent blooper editing style (matching the style seen in the fifth episode) and whatever extra goodies we can cook up for it. The DVD will also include the Holiday Family Jam special, which Sasha and I will get together soon to finish that video. As for the release of the DVD, I don’t have plans to sell it directly, but I do plan to give out copies to everyone involved and they may want to order extra copies. If you have any suggestions for the DVD, drop us a comment.
While compiling the DVD, I noticed an error on the Joe Hopkins “Reaching” live at Second Wind video. I had the lazily placed the wrong video credits on it. I deleted that video and reuploaded it with the correct credits and higher sound levels. You can watch the corrected video here on YouTube. On the subject of fixes, I’ve fixed and changed a few things around the web site. Nothing major, but I did rename some of the blog posting categories.
Now, the final piece of business. Uncovering Oklahoma is now seeking a sponsor. If this show is going to get any better, on a regular schedule, and release more updates, we are going to need some funds. We’re offering an incredible deal that includes such benefits as a dedicated special video, commercial advertisement in our videos, filming of events, hosting events, exclusive banner advertising throughout the site, and saving the world. If you are interested or know someone interested, visit the sponsor page for more information.
Keep checking back and tell your friends about Uncovering Oklahoma.
