Kayaking at Lake Hefner
Lake Hefner offers many things: food, drink and water mostly. Among those is kayaking. I had a shoot this morning at the southside of the lake with Angi Bruss, Jacquelyn Farris and Tanner Herriott. We shot a Girl vs Wild segment on the techniques of kayaking, then Angi and I spoke with Dave of OKC Kayak fame about how peeps can get involved in the sport.

Dog (show) days of summer
Angi, Kyle and I rolled out to the Cox Convention Center this morning for the 2008 OKC Summer Classic Dog Show. More than 130 different breeds – in fact, more than 8,000 dogs – are competing this weekend in various categories.
We spoke with Wendy Musgrove and various owners, trainers and handlers about the show and the dogs. All were very helpful and passionate about their animals and the show.
Tickets are $7 for adults, $3 for children and the show goes on through Sunday.

Meet me at the bar…. at 9 a.m.
So I did.
Angi and I had a 9 a.m. shoot at McNellie’s Pub, which just opened a few days ago. It’s in the Midtown part of Oklahoma City, just north of downtown at NW 10 and Walker. It’s in the old Plaza Court building where Veazey’s drug store used to be back in the day.
The official name of the establishment is James E. McNellie’s Public House. The owner, Elliott Nelson, spent a few months in Ireland, decided he liked their pubs, so he opened one in Tulsa called McNellie’s Pub – a play on his last name. It went well, so now he’s trying one in our backyard.
We shot two videos, a typical “DnA” video where we talk with someone about their establishment. And Angi interviewed the head chef, Steven, in the kitchen as he whipped up some really good pasta.
Pretty good morning I’d say – surrounded by 350 beers and good food.

NBC fires worker who posted on Wikipedia
Tim Russert died last week. Before NBC News announced the death on air – it waited to inform Russert’s family – the Wikipedia entry on Russert had been updated with the news. NBC tracked down who updated the Wiki, and fired the junior level employee.
The NY Times has a good story on how news is delayed – or not – online.
