OKC gets totally STACHED tonight!


Our favorite purveyors of generosity are hosting one of our favorite OKC events tonight!  Shop Good’s annual Mustache Bash starts at 5 pm tonight on 9th Street in downtown Oklahoma City’s Automobile Alley. The free outdoor music festival will benefit Positive Tomorrows.

Shop Good is a clothing and accessories store located in the heart of Oklahoma City. The shop’s goal is to make looking great a little friendlier and giving back a little simpler, so every item in the store – whether it’s a pair of skinny jeans, a hand-poured soy candle or a giant cheeseburger wallet – is socially responsible, fairly traded and connected to a local or international community development project. Just check the tags on your favorite items to see how your purchase will contribute to a deserving charity or community, both here in OKC and around the world.

Here’s the ad we ran in support of Shop Good and the Mustache Bash in a recent issue of the Oklahoma Gazette.

NMF Wrap-Up Part 1: Wayne Coyne

We took lots of great videos at the Norman Music Festival this year and wanted to kick off our NMF wrap-up with Wayne Coyne.

We sort of stalked Wayne Coyne at The Non’s NMF show. We got word he was at the show, rushed to the Sooner Theatre, spotted him in the audience, didn’t let him out of our sight, and then followed him backstage after the show. He was gracious and eloquent and our favorite interview of the day.

Side Story No. 1 — The beer came from his wife Michelle’s purse.

Side Story No. 2 — Wayne and Michelle wanted backstage during the Dirty Projectors’ show, but security didn’t recognize Wayne. Fowler VW GM Jonathan Fowler saw it all go down, so he went over and let them in. A few days later, Wayne ends up sitting next to Jonathan and his family at a Thunder playoff game and Wayne comes up to him and shakes his hand. It made Jonathan’s year.

Side Story No. 3 — Security also didn’t recognize Dirty Projectors frontman Dave Longstreth, so they kicked him out of the backstage area. Jonathan rushed over and gave Dave his all-access pass. Then security tried to kick Jonathan out. It took some pleading, but the walkie talkie and NMF staff t-shirt finally convinced them.
