Ongoing Exhibit| Oklahoma Moderns George Bogart and James Henkle | Exhibit ends Sept. 14 in Nancy Johnston Records Gallery. This exhibition pairs the work of two distinguished professors emeriti of the OU School of Art & Art History: George Bogart and James Henkle. Bogart, who joined the faculty in 1970, experimented restlessly with oil paint, and the exhibition offers a retrospective of his career. The furniture designs of James Henkle offer a sculptural counterpoint to the paintings of Bogart. Henkle taught design at OU for nearly 40 years and, although he worked in a variety of media, he excelled in the artful design of modernist furniture.

ESCAPEThe third week of school is almost over, and we bet you’re already feeling the

pressure from classes, work and everything else in between. Though we wouldn’t nor-mally recommend running away as a solu-tion to your problems, sometimes a change of scenery is necessary. Before the semester really gets crazy, get out of town this week-end to relax.

With notable events happening in both Oklahoma City and Tulsa this weekend, we thought a Road Trip Issue would fit in per-fectly with your weekend plans.

Electronic dance music fans might want to head to OKC for the Mystik Sanctuary Music Festival and be prepared for some sick drops with our playlist (p. 8).

If heavy bass isn’t your thing, take a trip to the city for a chill day touring the best cof-fee shops in town (p. 9). Just be careful not to overdose on caffeine.

Looking for something a little more adventurous? Take the two-hour drive to Tulsa. Hundreds of your fellow students will likely be on their way as well for the OU vs. Tulsa game Saturday. Find out how the Sooners have faired in the past against the Golden Hurricane (p. 5), and take a look at how well Tulsa’s coach thinks his team will stack up against OU.

While you’re in Tulsa, look no further than this issue for a list of eateries less than 10 minutes away from Tulsa’s H.A. Chapman Stadium (p. 6).

Last, we know the key to a great road trip experience is choosing the best way to go and when to stop along the way. Take a pit stop at some places along the drive (p. 12).

Drive safe everyone!

RESTAURANTSTO VISIT AFTER THE GAME

Three of Tulsa’s main districts for dining and nightlife lie within 10 min-utes of the University of Tulsa’s Skelly Field at H.A. Chapman Stadium,

where the Sooners will play the Tulsa Golden Hurricane on Saturday.Here are two of the best restaurants from each district, according to online

reviewers, recommendations on social media and my personal taste. Go on-line for directions to each district and the locations for each restaurant rec-ommended on social media.

arianna pickard | @ari_pickard

1.

Brady Arts District eight-minute drive from the stadium

Fat Guy’s Burgers, 140 N Greenwood Ave.

I must admit I have not personally experienced the “Home of the fat and juicy.” But, it was recommended by three of my fellow Tulsans on Facebook and Twitter, and my boyfriend has raved enough about it so I felt it must be on the list of must-eat-at restaurants in Tulsa.

The name of this restaurant tells no lies. Each burger consists of two beef patties sealed together with butter and cheese before it’s cooked. I think what really makes this place unforgettable is its variety of toppings and specialty burgers, including a peanut butter and bacon burger and a pizza burger.

Popular dishes on Urbanspoon: Fat and juicy burger, Fat Guy’s Burger Bar Challenge and gyro burger.

Must visit if you like … S&B’s Burger Joint on Main Street.

Laffa, 111 N. Main St.

This place has yet to let me down, but then again I’m a sucker for anything Mediterranean. At first glance, you’ll just be impressed by how they man-aged to name each item on the menu something Medi-Eastern related, from “My Big Fat Brown Rice Salad” to “Esau Soup.” But true happiness comes when you take a bite of fresh Laffa bread, a naan-type flatbread that’s baked in a giant stone oven visi-ble from the dining area.

Popular dishes on Urbanspoon: Lamb in toma-to feta sauce and street falafel.

Must visit if you like … Sisters Mediterranean Taste on Chautauqua.

2.

Blue Dome District six-minute drive from the stadium

3. yokozuna, 309 e. 2nd st.

If you’re in the mood for some post-football game sushi, you can experience the Blue Dome District in sushi form with Yokozuna’s Blue Dome roll (es-colar, yellowfin and salmon rolled in masago and scallion). The Asian fusion restaurant also has a bar with an extensive Asian-themed cocktail menu, fea-turing drinks like “Tokyo Tiger” and “Hello Sumo, Hello Kitty.” Happy Hour on Saturday is from 10 p.m. to midnight.

Popular dishes on Urbanspoon: Golden Driller roll, avocado roll and rising sun roll.

Must visit if you like ... O Asian Fusion Restaurant on 12th Avenue.

4. el guapo’s mexican cantina, 332 e. 1st st.

You might want to make a reservation if you’re try-ing to get dinner at El Guapo’s on a Saturday night, but the authentic Mexican food and the view of downtown Tulsa from the rooftop cantina are worth the extra effort.

Popular dishes on Urbanspoon: Nachos, wet bur-rito and carne asada tacos.

Must visit if you like … Pepe Delgados on Campus Corner.

Cherry Street eight-minute drive from the stadium

5. kilkenny’s irish pub, 1413 e. 15th st.

It’s the classic Irish pub that’s liked by 92 percent of the 2,225 voters on Urbanspoon, and it’s basically the go-to restaurant/bar Tulsans will recommend.

Popular dishes on Urbanspoon: Fish and chips, burgers and the Irish Benny.

Must visit if you like … O’Connell’s Irish Pub & Grille on Campus Corner.

6. andolini’s pizzeria, 1552 e. 15th st.

You’ve heard of Chicago-style pizza and New York-style pizza, but Andolini’s is where you get Tulsa-style pizza. Its founders, brothers John Davey and Jim, and Mike Bausch, emigrated from Avellino, Italy, and wound up in Tulsa, bringing with them their Italian roots and passion for pizza. Reviewers on Yelp say it’s nearly impossible to choose from its seemingly end-less pizza options.

Popular dishes on Urbanspoon: Tenbysimmo, ve-suvio and pepperoni pizza.

Must visit if you like ... Sergio’s Italian Bistro on Gray Street.

TOPECA CoffeeSituated under the Mayo Hotel in

downtown Tulsa, this upscale coffee shop is the black-tie of cafés. From coffee breaks to the first cup of the morning, Topeca gets a lot of traffic from business-people, but don’t feel like you have to grab something to go. A mix of seating in-vites guests to stay a while. This is a great place to get things done while enjoying the energy of people bustling around. If you’re staying in Norman this weekend, Topeca coffee can also be found at Gray Owl Coffee on Gray street.

javaJOURNEYKELLY ROGERS | @KELLYNROGERS

Head north to find your coffee nirvana.

There’s a certain feeling coffee-lovers get when they step into their favorite café. While warm smiles from baristas and the sounds of coffee grinders can

live in harmony, so can the people and the atmospheres they dwell in. If you find yourself in need of a caffeine fix on your way to Tulsa for the game, or you decide to venture outside of Norman for the weekend, here are a few must-try coffee stops along the way.

Coffee SlingersWith a street-level view of downtown

Oklahoma City, the glass window cre-ates a well-lit atmosphere that brings warmth to the industrial feel of the space. The mix of shiny chrome chairs and natural wood tables combines the best of both worlds: business and na-ture. If you need a place to get to busi-ness, the simplistic style creates an atmosphere of concentration — this is where all the students go. Take a book or your laptop to really soak in the caffeine and clear your mind.

Elemental CoffeeThe bar and its contents may be con-

tained in a single white brick building, but don’t let the humble paint job lead you astray. Elemental has in-house roasted coffee to offer, and their sim-plistic style reflects their no-nonsense coffee attitude. Expect a traditional coffee menu and tasty snack or lunch options for a midday pick-me-up. If you’re not traveling north to the city, Elemental’s coffee can also be found right on Campus Corner at Crimson and Whipped Cream.

Cuppies and JoeTake a seat inside of this OKC house-

turned-coffee shop for a cozy place to sip and study. Playing within the architec-tural set-up of a home, tables tucked into corners and next to windows make you feel as if you’re sitting in your own living room, watching the cars go by. Sweet treats and drinks sprinkle the menu for the caffeine junkies and the dessert-lov-ers. If you need a place to escape the day, take yourself and your book out for cof-fee in a more intimate setting.

The Red Cup Tucked away in a foliage-filled corner,

this coffee shop has more to offer OKC than red cups. The art covering the walls and tiny trinkets lining the shelves are sure to strike a chord with the artist with-in. Vibrant colors set the mood of cre-ativity, with room to spark conversation as well as inspiration. The bar-style seat-ing and cozy tables can accommodate midday coffee breaks or afternoon study sessions. With an eclectic array of baked goods, coffee and a full lunch menu, this is the place for warm conversation.

HOROSCOPE By Eugenia Last

Copyright 2014, Newspaper Enterprise Assn.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2014

Your popularity will grow if you offer help in good faith. Using your experience to shed light on situations will make a favorable impression on your colleagues this year. Your compassion, understanding and patience will win you valuable support and allies.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Be wary of anyone who comes on too strong. Before opting to let someone make a decision for you, make sure there are no ulterior motives that can blindside you at a later date.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be prepared to go over everything you do in detail. Household expenses will be troublesome if you have been too generous with loved ones. Running your home more effi ciently will ease your stress.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You will receive advice from an unusual and unexpected source. If you are open-minded, you will discover that the information provided holds a worthwhile solution to a dilemma.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be conscientious when it comes to money matters. Cautious investing can improve your standard of living. You can have fun without going overboard. A strict budget will ensure peace of mind.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Others may not understand your methods. Before you make a hasty decision, talk over your plans to anyone who will be affected by the choices you make. Youʼll gain support if you ask fi rst.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Think twice before baring your emotions to a new acquaintance. Your personal secrets will be made public if you arenʼt careful. Protect against embarrassment and damage to your reputation.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Find a group that you feel akin to and make a contribution. Sharing your knowledge and experience will be fulfi lling and will give you the chance to make new friends.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are likely to end up miserable and alone if you are disagreeable. Being judgmental or disapproving of others will alienate you from your peers. Make an effort to get along.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- New opportunities and interests will arise if you keep company with like-mind-ed people. Stimulate your curiosity by going to as many functions as possible.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you are feeling restless, itʼs time for a change. Consider making some ad-justments to your living space. Home improvements will lead to increased property values and greater comfort.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You and your family members will be on different wavelengths. You can avoid confl icts if you decide to work on personal projects. This will protect you from interference.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Being willing to go the extra mile at work will pay big dividends. Your name will move to the top of the promotion list if you put your nose to the grindstone.

Coming off a “hard-fought” victo- ry over Tulane, Tulsa coach Bill

Blankenship said the team is excited to host a team of the Sooners’ caliber.

After a weekend of near-miss up-sets, such as Florida State squeaking by Oklahoma State, Tulsa will be going into its contest with the No. 4 Sooners believ-ing it can win.

“College football is a big matchup game, both from individual and team standpoints,” Blankenship said.

The coach said Oklahoma looked much more dominant, however, than the likes of Alabama and Florida State. He was most impressed with the Sooners’ defen-sive line.

“The interior of their defense is very strong,” he said. “They’re built for that de-fense. They do a great job of controlling the area tackle to tackle.”

The last time Tulsa hosted Oklahoma at their home field in 2007, they en-

dured a 62-21 thrashing. The Sooners were also ranked

No. 4 then. The Golden Hurricane will be look-ing for a better result this time around.

Hurricane got its first lead in the second overtime of a slugfest August 28 when sophomore Dane Evans connected with junior Conner Floyd to put Tulsa up 38-31. On the ensuing Tulane possession, Tulsa defensive back and senior Demarco Nelson intercepted an errant pass to seal the game.

The Tulsa passing game came up big against Tulane. Doing his best Trevor Knight impression, Evans racked up 438 yards passing and four touchdowns.

The sophomore threw a pair of inter-ceptions. However on the receiving end, sophomore Keevan Lucas gained 233 yards on 13 receptions. Junior Keyarris Garrett also contributed 87 yards on five receptions. Even sophomore Josh Atkinson got in on the action, grabbing seven passes for 80 yards of his own.

“I thought [the receiving corps] really bounced back,” Blankenship said. “They showed that we have some promise at least in the passing game.

Blankenship said a strong and bal-anced group of receivers will allow for the team to exploit potential one-on-one mis-matches in coverage.

“I think that Keevan [Lucas] has the ability to win some one-on-one situa-tions,” he said.

The coach said he was disappointed in how many big plays the defense gave up. Although Tulsa outgained its opponent, Tulane was still able to put up 516 yards.

“I feel like we are a little bit better than that,” he said.

Coming off a “hard-fought” victo- ry over Tulane, Tulsa coach Bill

Blankenship said the team is excited to host a team of the Sooners’ caliber.

After a weekend of near-miss up-sets, such as Florida State squeaking by Oklahoma State, Tulsa will be going into its contest with the No. 4 Sooners believ-ing it can win.
