I got off-track and behind on my posts. I actually wrote up a couple of posts on the plane heading to Vegas last weekend. But between having to do 4 Vegas posts (including the drama of the deleted Viva Las Vegas post), plus The Week That Was that ended up being a day late, plus …
I had a last-minute lunch scheduled with a donor last Tuesday. It’s in Owasso, which is about 10 miles west of Tulsa. I’ve never been to Owasso, and so I went online to research restaurants. I tossed out a few options to Steve, and he picked Trails End BBQ. Honestly it wouldn’t have been my …
Huge portions and fabulous food await you at Hash House a Go Go on the Vegas strip. But get there early, or be prepared for a long wait. Last weekend I went to Vegas for a quick weekend whirlwind group trip. We had a group of 7, which is kind of a big group, but we …
A full pound of lobster in every roll? Fabulous lobster at a food court? Spiked lemonade? Yes, yes and yes!! All that and more at Lobster Me. Last weekend I did a quick weekend trip to Vegas with a group of friends. There were 7 of us in the group, which is kind of big, but we had …
Owned by Celebrity Chef Emeril Lagasse, Lagasse’s Stadium serves up delicious food and has a fabulous atmosphere for watching games when you’re in Vegas. This past weekend I went to Vegas for a quick group trip. We ran into some drama on the way to the airport, as I realized 20 minutes into the drive that …
Las Vegas has it all: restaurants, casinos, shows, shopping, sightseeing. Sin City is a fabulous place to visit, and you’ll be hooked after your first trip. My great friends Michele and Reilly go to Las Vegas very often. Reilly’s company is headquartered there, so convenience is one reason they go. But more importantly, they go because …
Last weekend, OSU was one of the host sites for the NCAA baseball regionals. The other teams in the bracket were Arkansas, Oral Roberts, and St. John’s. I volunteered at the media/staff hospitality tent on Friday, but the rest of the weekend I was a fan. We won our game Friday night, so we weren’t …
Last Saturday I went to a wedding in Oklahoma City. My co-worker Tia said “I do” with her soul mate Chico. The weather didn’t really cooperate, but I’ve heard that a rainy wedding day is a good sign. It didn’t rain during the ceremony, but the skies opened up during the reception. Our cell phones …
Last night was A Stately Affair, a black-tie OSU event in Tulsa that recognizes icons for OSU in Tulsa. This is the 3rd year of the event, and the first time I’ve ever attended. It was an outstanding evening, raising over $600,000 for scholarships for OSU-Tulsa. It was held at Southern Hills Country Club. It …
Ever since I got involved with the Creative Bloggers Network, I’ve been trying to upgrade my blog. I still have a LONG way to go, since many of my colleagues do this for a living. And mine is just a side job…for now. I recently went back through every post, double-checking links, updating pictures, etc. …
Last night was Preakness, so of course I had to have a party. Preakness is the 2nd leg of the Triple Crown of horse racing. When I was in my 20’s and living in Maryland, we went to Preakness every year for like 5 years, in the infield. It was a huge party. It still …
McGill’s is fine dining at dinner, upscale dining at lunch. Either option, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is wonderful. You won’t be disappointed. This spring I have been doing in-person stewardship visits with our club seat holders. It gets me out of the office, and allows me to meet with our donors on …
Karsten Creek Golf Club is the home of Oklahoma State Golf, and features a full-service restaurant. The food and stunning views will keep you coming back. Football and men’s basketball is what drives revenue in college athletics, so other sports often get the short end of the stick when it comes to donations. Our current athletic …
Oklahoma is known for its BBQ. I don’t eat it a ton, but I’ve definitely had my fare share. I would say the biggest down side is by the time you leave the restaurant, you smell like BBQ for the rest of the day. I was meeting a donor in Edmond for lunch earlier this …
