Tulsa ART-DECO Museum?

[PonderInc]

Great article in the OK Magazine, William!  The only bummer will be if people go to the decopolis website and see the wrong info about the Deco Ball.  Not sure who's in charge of the website, but if you could get someone to help you fix that page, it's pretty critical. 

I'm getting ready to send out a newsletter promoting the Deco Ball, but it only references the Decopolis Facebook site b/c decopolis.org has the old info.  Unfortunately, a lot of corporations have begun blocking access to Facebook, so some folks won't be able to see the correct info.

  I know its just terrible.  I dont know what I am gonna do about the website thing.  At this point we cant really start over with another web designer, there simply isnt enough time, but I am at my wits end with our original option (cue face in hands, tears falling).  He was always so reliable, hard working, ready to help, and so darned good at what he did,,, golly gee, dont know whats happened.    I wish I knew what I could do or how I could help if I could.

Actually it said "Novenber" and the date was part of the picture, so the picture had to be butchered a bit to change it.

Speaking of Deco, there was a building on  Main and 6th near the south east corner that was a deco design that even in the mid to late 80's before it's demise, still had elevator operators. A friend of mine and I worked for Mecury Express Courier back then and remember the building but not the name of it.

One other correction from the OK Magazine article...the ONG Building is on the corner of 7th and Boston.  (People get confused b/c the address is 624 S. Boston.)

   Ooops that was my fault I think.     I thought it was 6th and Boston.

I've purchased my ticket and my friend is purchasing hers tomorrow. Sorry, no period costumes, but we'll still look decent. Can't wait!

Found a very nice Deco style dress for my special guest.  I can't wait!

Great!   There will be other opportunities to dress in a Deco era style at later events.  Notably the Gatsby Picnic.  I am sure over time those who will go to these events (and they will cost less next time lol) on a regular basis will be able to gather a fun wardrobe and get ideas from others who go.  I wasnt even sure I would be able to find and buy anything.  I did get a Top Hat, and know someone who has some tails they will give me, though they may need some eventual tailoring, hopefully they will work well enough in the mean time.

I used to have a great 1930's vintage tux with cut-away coat I got at Spectrum on Cherry St. about 20 some years ago.  Unfortunately, the darn thing shrank in the closet over the years

Also, if y'all didn't hear, TulsaNow has worked out a special deal for folks on a budget.  You can show up at the door, starting at 8:00 PM and get into the Deco Ball for a minimum donation of $25.  This does not include dinner, but it's a great way to support the creation of an Art Deco Museum in Tulsa.  Drink coupons can be purchased at the door.  Attire is dressy and costumes are encouraged.  Mention TulsaNow to get the special rate.

Deco Ball? Damn...I thought it was a Devo Ball.

I already got a yellow jumpsuit and red circle hat and everything.

I have a great outfit for tomorrow and plan to whip it... whip it good.
