Why Didn't I Post Today?

1. I was out hunting a scoop on the next downtown high-rise.

2. Black limos, attorneys and hotels. Can’t say anything more on that matter.

3. My desk was a mess when I started my morning. I was a mess when I left.

4. I spent two minutes inside Red Prime.

5. I was pre-occupied all day with the thought that three long weeks without a new episode of Burn Notice is finally over.

6. I’m still reading the latest issue of Oklahoma Today. With each turn of a page, my fear grows that I’ve been scooped.

7. Still trying to find out answers to why Greg Banta left MidTown, why Brett Hamm left Downtown Oklahoma City Inc., and the meaning of life. It looks like my best shot is the meaning of life thing.

8. Did anyone notice the city is going to knock down the Robinson exit ramp from I-40 next to Ford Center? I’ve spent all day practicing getting stuck in hopeless traffic jams.

9. Breakfast at the Ground Floor Cafe in Leadership Square. Oh boy, that’s good.

10.  Coffee Slingers – good stuff, but don’t you dare ask for Sanka.

All of the above.

2-10 are not important. Focus on #1 and make that the next big story!

Oh no, really, No. 5 is quite good. Very good show. ;)

I don’t know, two and three might be a part of #1

But Steve, really, just leave us totally in the dark… Don’t dangle it like that!

Wow – I can’t believe you haven’t written or posted about Julius Schulman’s visit to OKC! He’s been in town for several days speaking about Oklahoma mid-century architecture and how it was some of the best in the country. If anyone should know, it would be him. Fantastic talk last night at untitled gallery as part of the Goff lecture series. Packed house. Maybe you were there, but I didn’t see you. Big miss, in my humble opinion…

Well, I tried to write about Julius – even had a Sunday story planned – but there were complications that arose related to getting art and photos, which these days are required. And sadly, breaking news prevented me from attending last night’s gathering.

Breaking news.

Comment by Shane on September 12, 2008 @ 5:16 pm

So when do we get to break into said news? Like, within a week?

Well, technically it took me two years to break Devon Tower.
