Ran downtown Monday evening to deliver a DVD to Good Egg Dining Group. We produce some of their multimedia campaigns. Saw the below skyline view from the AGE office on 5th Street. Snapped the pic via iPhone. Then drove down to Kerr to shoot the above video.

Also saw downtown business stringing up Christmas lights. It’s that time of year.

Retro Metro OKC: What’s in your attic?

Steve Lackmeyer emailed me last week, inviting me to the Retro Metro OKC preview party at the Sieber Hotel in MidTown.

I interviewed Lackmeyer and Justin Tyler Moore about the project and its site RetroMetroOKC.org. Seems like a daunting process to me: organizing a local group of history enthusiasts and collecting people’s memories and tokens of the past.

It’s a great idea. The web site is cool. I admire these guys for their passion and expertise. Impressive.

3 Things You Should Know: The Plaza District

As always, my friend and colleague Steve Lackmeyer has done a fine job with his latest article on the Plaza District, and how events held in that area are drawing business. You can read his article on NewsOK.com and watch the above video for 3 Things You Should Know about The Plaza District.

Steve Lackmeyer doesn’t like me

A few weeks ago I interviewed Steve Lackmeyer about the 2009 business storylines of downtown OKC. We conducted the interview on top of a downtown parking garage with the streetscape canyon behind us. Throughout the interview, Steve drifted away from me. We started the interview in one parking space and ended in another. In fact, you can watch Steve get his gangsta lean away from me in the video below.

Just kidding around here. This year we launched the video component to OKC Central. Steve has taken on his weekly video segment with seriousness, something I appreciate. He does a great job finding interesting interviews with the top movers and shakers around town.

Somewhat fun fact: Mike Koehler appeared out of nowhere (actually the nearby elevator) by the end of the interview. He was parked just behind David Jones who was shooting this segment.

I check my rear view mirror. A lot.

As previewed earlier on this blog, Steve Lackmeyer and Tanner Herriott hopped in the Wimgo PT Cruiser for a tour of downtown as I drove.

Steve talked about his favorite subject – Oklahoma City. Tanner had some coffee. A lot of coffee. Actually it was hot chocolate from Java Dave’s. Details…

This idea for OKC Central was we would drive around downtown and Bricktown and discuss upcoming changes to streets, streetscapes and parking. We used a Vado HD to capture the video with audio running through a Zoom. Tanner edited the piece together and added some sweet photos throughout as illustration.

Steve does a great job of explaining details upcoming, from one-way streets to the various lamp posts.

I check my rear view mirrors a lot. And side mirror. And oncoming and passing traffic.

Tanner drinks a lot of hot chocolate.

This won’t end well

It’s how we do video, people.

Steve Lackmeyer, Tanner Herriott and myself in downtown OKC for an upcoming OKC Central video.
