t doesn’t usually look like it, but I try to eat healthy.

Almost every day for lunch this year, I’ve jumped across the street to Nebu. It’s a cafeteria located on the first floor of the Devon Tower.

Why? Well, there’s a great salad bar, healthy lookin’ fish options and a girl with blue hair at the cash register who always says something nice about my outfit. You’re so kind, blue.

My routine was halted recently when a security guard asked for my badge at the tower’s entrance.

Badges? What is this? “Blazing Saddles”? I wasn’t welcome that day, and for a pretty obvious

reason.

The building was closed to the public for two days as roughly 700 Devon employees lost their jobs.

I didn’t even think about that fact when I walked over. I was in it for the food and compliments.

As I sat down for lunch at the library, the gravity of the situation hit me. The Oklahoman is located across the street from the Devon Tower. I know because I’ve given directions to people who are lost on the street.

That colossal skyscraper is my neighbor though. It seemed odd feeling sympathy for the giant company. Earthquakes or not, it’s the people who really end up hurting in the end. My Facebook feed was filled with people who had to leave Devon. One in particular caught my attention.

He had gotten me a job interview at Devon when I felt at my lowest a few years ago. I had quit a job that was sucking the life out of me like a vacuum with a vendetta.

I didn’t get the job at Devon, but I did at least get to meet a lot of people in the building. They were extremely kind, and I walked away feeling like a competent human being. That’s extremely rare.

I’m always going to want what’s best for Oklahoma, so I’d like to just to send my regards to anyone who lost their job that week. If Okies are known for anything, it’s resilience. We get back up when we fall down. Good luck to everyone on the job hunt. You’ll be back in the game in no time.

DEADPOOL

‘Deadpool’ takes dead aim for big, bloody laughs

By Nathan Poppe

P

orky Pig should’ve ended this film with a hearty “That’s All Folks!”

“Deadpool” is the trillionth Marvel comic book movie adaptation and first blockbuster of the year. It’s also a borderline “Looney Tunes” cartoon. Think vigilante Bugs Bunny in a red suit. With lotsa guns.

For the uninitiated, Deadpool is a popular antihero in the Marvel world and he’s known for his healing powers, sense of humor and motormouth.

You might remember that Ryan Reynolds (“Blade: Trinity”) already portrayed a villainous incarnation of Deadpool in the universally panned “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” I excitedly saw that film opening night in college, yet retained no memory of the performance.

For the better, this new movie isn’t 2009’s Deadpool.

Reynolds’ reprisal does everything in its relatively short runtime (for behemoth comic book films of late) to wipe the slate clean. How, you ask? With joke after joke and insult after insult.

“Deadpool” bombards its viewers with zingers

Page 6

February 24 - March 8, 2016

like a filthy insult comic with two hours left to live.

Besides a couple of dramatic roles as of late (“Self/Less,” “Woman in Gold”), Reynolds playing Deadpool is another reminder of his sassy, smug ways. It’s almost scary how little this film’s comedy differs from Reynolds’ breakout role in the 2002 National Lampoon college party flick “Van Wilder.”

“Deadpool” proudly flaunts its hard R-rating, but the humor isn’t advanced. Today’s tween wouldn’t be confused by the adolescent digs. Pumping a movie full of jokes is one way to ensure laughs, but I’m not sure it’s the best way to be funny.

I’ll give the movie credit for at least trying to hit pause on the giggles and filling the void with action scenes and other R-movie trappings (bare breasts, f-bombs and bloody deaths). You won’t be bored.

I won’t lie. I laughed a lot. On his second try, Reynolds nails the fun role.

He’s also supported with a great cast. T.J. Miller (“Silicon Valley,” “Big Hero 6”) nearly steals the show in every scene he’s in. Deadpool’s X-Men foils Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna

Hildebrand) and Colossus (Stefan Kapicic) handle the straight-man roles to Deadpool’s funny-man bombardment. Without super powers, I don’t know how the X-Men duo would’ve abstained from sewing Deadpool’s mouth shut.

I did enjoy the film’s silly stakes. How many times has Gotham, New York City or the galaxy been hanging in the balance? That drama is so overdone. Deadpool’s main mission of winning back his girlfriend is refreshing.

“Deadpool” is a crowd-pleaser by nature. The audience burst into applause as soon as the opening credits started rolling.

Everything’s a joke, and no rule goes unbroken.

That sorta helped with the comic book movie fatigue I deal with on the daily. Reynolds’ Deadpool constantly breaks the fourth wall and turns to the camera more times than Ferris Bueller and President Frank Underwood combined.

In the end, though, the laughs hit more than they miss. The action is sometimes difficult to follow, but it’s over-the-top, gory fun. It’s a terrible date movie but way more fun than waiting for a table at a crowded restaurant. Either way, leave the kids at home.

Two new films dip into a fresh horror trend

A scene from “Son of Saul.” [PHOTO PROVIDED]

BY NATHAN POPPE

I

’m the last person you want to see a horror movie with. I always get way too sucked into them.

Ever since I was young, almost any time an element of a horror film entered my vision, it stuck there. The aliens from “Independence Day” and “Mars Attacks!” became as real to me as my elementary schoolteachers and lackluster PE grades. I remember walking home alone after watching “The Blair Witch Project” in middle school and was fully expecting to never make it.

My house was less than a block away.

I half enjoy horror and half dread it. But recently, I’ve been excited about a subgenre of horror that’s rooted in reality. Call it “unbeatable horror.” Essentially, the genre pits its characters against insurmountable odds. Cliche jump scares are nowhere

to be seen, replaced with a dubious, spooky tone.

Only a handful of new films fit the mold, but it’s slowly creeping into notoriety between the flashy “Insidious” and “Sinister” sequels.

The latest entries are “Son of Saul” and “The Witch.” Both started playing in Oklahoma Feb. 19.

I caught advance screenings of the films within a couple days of each other, and both were near-perfect. I have no hesitation awarding the movies 4-star reviews.

“Son of Saul” is an Oscar nominee and a front-runner for Best Foreign Language Film. Set inside a crematorium at Auschwitz, it tells the story of a Jewish father who desperately works to give his dead son a proper burial within the confines of the concentration camp. It’s the longest, saddest funeral you could imagine.

“The Witch” follows a Christian family in New England in 1630. The seven family members live

on an isolated farm, and their world slips into madness after their infant son vanishes. I’ll give you one guess who’s responsible, and it ain’t Hermione Granger. Director Robert Eggers won the Best Director prize at Sundance for his debut writing/directing effort.

Both films feature overwhelming antagonists that blanket their victims with hopelessness. Saul (played by Geza Rohrig) works in a concrete maze that’s guarded by countless Nazis. There’s barely a scene in the entire film where he isn’t being put to work or facing an atrocity. It’s not for the faint of heart. Countless bodies line the walls of gas chambers, and Jews get shot into pits.

In “The Witch,” farmer (Ralph Ineson) and his wife (Kate Dickie) try to make a living in unforgiving times. If they can’t grow food, their family dies. Grief and despair tear the family apart, and there’s little that can glue the family back CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

February 24 - March 8, 2016

“The Babadook” (2014) and “It Follows” (2015) share more than a few similarities with “Son of Saul” and “The Witch.” “It Follows” and “The Babadook” both focus on a woman who’s forced to confront a monster that can’t be killed, only managed.

The biggest difference between the two sets of films is the stifling amount of historical accuracy. “Son of Saul” and “The Witch” are not only deeply rooted in documented accounts of the past, but everything from the wood on the cabins and the design of the crematorium was fussed over. “The Witch” director Robert Eggers even made sure the button holes on costumes were accurate.

These details aren’t scary themselves, but they’re dedicated to pluck viewers out of their cellphone-induced comfort and place them in an environment where easy doesn’t exist. Convenient is a funny three-syllable word that wasn’t invented yet.

There’s no curtain to pull back that makes you realize things will be OK. It’s true horror, and scenes not only stuck in my mind but made me leave the theater thinking about what I saw. That’s horror, and filmmaking, at its best. Both films also hold up as effective dramas. Regardless of genre, they’re well-built and perfectly acted.

When I think back on viewing these films, I’m reminded of something my mom used to say to me when I was growing up. It was along the lines of “there’s enough bad stuff in the world, so why watch something intentionally frightening?” That’s a pretty good point, but my appreciation for great movies doesn’t let something like genre or the inevitability of nightmares stop me.

Nobody rushes to the theater for films about failure.

I’m not guessing “Son of Saul” or “The Witch” will be box-office smashes. Instead, I see them as a shining example of smart, impactful storytelling.

I’m not afraid of aliens anymore, but these filmmakers could make anything really scary. Or better yet, real and scary.

DRINK & DRAW

Dead and loving it, Evan Sartin explores Day of the Dead and more

D

rink & Draw can be a lot like a box of chocolates.

You never know what you’re going to get. Evan Sartin is a longtime Drink & Draw visitor and creates bone-chillingly good illustrations. Take a moment to learn about him and make sure to plan a visit to Tree & Leaf Clothing on a Thursday for Drink & Draw.

Remember, it’s not a class or something you gotta sign up for. It’s an open invitation to sit down with some like-minded artists and improve your craft. It’s always free, and all ages are welcome.

Q: What’s the happiest you’ve been with an artistic creation that you’ve made or collaborated on?

Evan Sartin: I was pretty proud of my more intricate Day of the Dead pieces, particularly my “¡Bienvinedo, Amigo!” Pushing myself to add more detail and spend more time on a style I did often, I was happy with the result.

Q: Tell me an advantage to being an Oklahoma City-based artist. Also, let’s get real, tell me a disadvantage or something you’d like to see change.

Sartin: It’s a large city with a small-town feel.

I love the diversity and friendliness here. It’s easy to connect with other like-minded people. Disadvantage? Since the weather cannot be controlled, I guess I’ll say since it is still a relatively small city, opportunity might seem a little limited, but it is still growing almost every day. That’s changing quickly.

Q: Talk to me about why you come to Drink & Draw. What keeps you coming back, and what would you like to see happen with Drink & Draw?

Sartin: Drinking and drawing is exactly what I would be doing on my lonesome most nights, so it’s great to be doing that around other people every so often. I’d like to see Drink & Draw continue to grow and reach out to new people, but keep the close-knit roots.

Q: A lot of artists have to have day jobs and don’t get to spend all their time working on what they’d like. How do you balance art and commerce? Is that a sacrifice for you?

Sartin: It’s a dream to be able to make art for a living. For now, I find creating things fun and relaxing, and use it as something to unwind from the regular job.

Q: If you were a hot dog, would you eat yourself?

Sartin: I would take advantage of being a living hot dog. Try to get a few commercial deals and

such. But if I accidentally ended up doused in some delicious chili? Might not be able to resist.

Q: What’s something you can tell us about one of your pieces you’re proud of?

Sartin: “Rayo,” the drawing of the dog, was for my mom. He was a longtime childhood pet who went from a wild terrier puppy to an old, blind, lazy dog.

He didn’t like strangers, other dogs or any sort of affection. But like any good dog, he was overtly loyal and just one of the guys. I miss that little dude so much.

Q: Tell me something you’ve never told anyone in an interview.

Sartin: One of my main influences for my Day of the Dead art is the old point-and-click computer game I played as a kid, “Grim Fandango.”

klahoma City’s biggest music festival is going through changes.

Festival founder Fred Hall confirmed that OKCFest’s third installment will return to downtown Oklahoma City with a new location and date. Hall didn’t hesitate when deciding to tackle another year of OKCFest.

“The question was just the physical location,” Hall said in an interview with The Oklahoman.

In 2014 and 2015, the festival occurred in

Page 14

February 24 - March 8, 2016

a parking lot just west of the Chesapeake Energy Arena. The warehouse building that acted as the festival’s green room, on the corner of S Harvey Avenue and SW 2 Street, has since been demolished. Hall noted that the former OKCFest venue space will be used for OKC Thunder parking. Hall also is anticipating the team to make it deep into the NBA playoffs, which would’ve further complicated festival logistics.

OKCFest had traditionally landed at the end of June. Hall estimated the festival will return

in the fall after the former 1916 Ford Model T Assembly Plant at 900 W Main gets converted into his 21C Museum Hotel. Part of the reconstruction in the area will include a new music venue called Jones Assembly.

“It’s making sense for me right now to put the festival outside and inside the Jones Assembly venue,” Hall said.

Hall added that he’s headed to Nashville, Tenn., in early March to secure booking for OKCFest.

“It’s coming along,” he said.

hen Aly Branstetter graduated from trusted manager to managing partner of the restaurant formerly known as Hill Billy Po’ Boys and Oysters, she was convinced subtle changes were all the comfort-food emporium needed to boost and sustain business.

Although the sign on top of the building still bears the old name, all remaining signage and logos were exchanged for the simpler Hillbilly’s.

Neither Po’ Boys nor oysters vanished from the menu, but Branstetter hired chef Norm Thomas to flesh out the offerings and tweak the way food was presented.

Now Thomas has added a dinner menu and a fresh approach to brunch to accompany the sandwich, starter and side offerings. Branstetter and staff have added live music on Thursdays and Saturdays and continue to offer the city’s most unique moonshine-based cocktails. But they also offer whiskey at the bar that originally only offered moonshine.

Down the spiral staircase near the entrance is a

CLOSINGS: EL CHICO A few weeks ago, El Chico’s Cantina Laredo closed in Penn Square Mall, not long after several long-standing El Chico locations closed across the metro area. The last remaining stores are in Quail Springs Mall and Norman’s Sooner Mall.

El Chico was founded by the Cuellar family in the 1940s. Maria Cuellar married Luis Alvarado in the 1930s, and the couple eventually moved to Oklahoma City, where in 1937 they opened El Charro. From El Charro came the El Charrito chain.

After World War II, the newlyweds recruited Maria’s brother Willie Jack to move to Oklahoma City to operate one of their new stores. Meanwhile, after several false starts, the Cuellar family established El Chico in 1940, and Willie Jack

moved back to Dallas to help with expansion.

In 1967, Luis Alvarado agreed to merge El Charrito with El Chico. Soon after, the company was sold, and it has changed hands multiple times since. The company is currently owned by Consolidated Restaurant Operations Inc. GROCERY UPDATES Uptown Grocery Co. opened its second store Feb. 4. The new store, at 9515 N May Ave., follows one in Edmond. Uptown Grocery, from the owners of Buy For Less, offers a broad selection of premium products including aged prime beef, organic produce and dry goods, full-scale bakery, flower shop and expansive deli and prepared foods options. The new incarnation also includes a pharmacy, event-planning services, pizza bar, coffee bar and stir-fry and ramen counter.

Buy For Less was founded by Hank Binkowski, but his wife, Susan, an entrepreneur in her own right, is the creative force behind this prestige grocery store.

kept secret that it would be adding a new store at the southeast corner of NW 122 and MacArthur.

This marks the fourth Sprouts market between Norman and Edmond. No opening date was announced. The address will be 12200 N MacArthur Blvd., Suite C. EDMOND EATS A while back, I mentioned Eddie’s Bar and Grill opened across the street from the University of Central Oklahoma, and The Fixx opened at 644 W Edmond Road, offering burgers and sandwiches with a full bar. Recently, longtime food truck stalwart Klemm’s Smoke Haus opened a proper restaurant at 2000 S Broadway. The new spot is open Wednesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner and on Sunday for lunch only.

These additions, along with the outstanding breakfast and brunch available at Hash Retro Diner, 1149 E Second St., have made Edmond a more interesting place to dine in a short time.

Crawfish Tortellini at Hillbilly’s is served with garlic toast and a side salad.

TITUS ANDRONICUS

Q:

You’ve been candid about your struggles with manic depression not only on albums but also in interviews. How difficult is it for you to open up about your mental health like that?

Patrick Stickles:

Well, I guess I don’t do it because it’s easy. People that struggle with mental health issues are often sort of voiceless. There’s not the most venues in our modern society for people to discuss that kind of stuff and get the support they need. You know, people search for that kind of support their whole lives a lot of the time. A lot of people, it’s not always what they want to hear about, and it’s not the most polite or delightful dinner conversation necessarily. Those sorts of feelings can become very toxic when they’re all bottled up, and it’s a difficult thing to keep a secret. So, I guess I consider myself very fortunate that I have an opportunity to discuss it and get support about it and validation for it and that I’m able to kind of validate myself through the making of the art and through discussing it with people such as yourself and with fans who’ve heard the record and identified with it.

February 24 - March 8, 2016

Q: The band turned 10 last year, and I wanted to know what that milestone meant for you and the band. Did you get to celebrate?

Stickles: We celebrated it quite a lot. The record (“The Most Lamentable Tragedy”) came out in July of 2015, and we did the first Titus Andronicus show in July of 2005, so that was a pretty substantial celebration. Pretty big candle on the ol’ birthday cake. At the same time, the record came out, and we did five nights of shows at this rock club here in New York City called Shea Stadium, which is where we rehearsed and worked for many years. ... It also happened to be my 30th birthday. A lot of things lined up for us to pat ourselves on the back a little bit. Things like that, like 10 years, you know, what do they really mean? They don’t necessarily mean anything in the same way that nothing in the universe has any inherent meaning, per se, beyond what we assign to it. If you want an opportunity to look back and celebrate or summarize the things that you’ve done, you can do that at 10 years, you could to it at nine years, eight years, six months, you know, whatever. It’s really up to you, and one is just as good as another, really.

You know, people respond a little more viscerally around certain numbers, I’ve found. People like seeing a zero at the end of things to know that it’s serious.

LOOKATOKC.COM

TITUS ANDRONICUS

Q: Speaking of numbers, I noticed “The Most Lamentable Tragedy” had 29 tracks and wondered what kept it from being 30.

Stickles: That’s not a coincidence, either, because our first record had nine songs, and then our second and third records had 10 songs each. Prior to the release of this new record, we had 29 album tracks released, so with putting out a 29-track album as our fourth album, we effectively doubled the number of album tracks that we had out. You see?

Q: How important is it for someone to listen to your latest album in its entirety in one sitting?

Stickles: It’s sort of inevitable that a lot of the audience is gonna pick and choose. Maybe every time that they experience the record, it’s not gonna be in all of its 93-minute glory. They’re very likely gonna pick their favorites and put ’em on their Spotify playlist or whatever, and that’s fine ... even though it’s part of a rock opera. Every song should have some ability to stand alone

cover story

and be enjoyable on its own merits, but in addition to that, there was the hope that the listener would give it some real time and really get invested and immerse themselves and listen to the whole thing and take it as a complete, cohesive artistic statement and hopefully get something out of it that they wouldn’t get from just cherry-picking a couple songs here or there.

It’s like hopefully the end result of hearing the whole thing will be greater that the sum of its parts. ... There’s moments that are very uplifting, and there are moments that are not quite so uplifting. They’re a little more despairing, and it’s just an attempt to create a wider emotional spectrum.

Like, for instance, at the beginning of the rock opera, the character is in a very dark place and there’s very little joy in his life, but later on in the story he finds love and he speaks about the joy and the exultation that comes from falling in love and realizing that the world can really be a nice, wonderful place, and hopefully those feelings are a little more meaningful because we know what the character has been through to get to that point.

TITUS ANDRONICUS

Q: I understand your songwriting to be very personal. Has your relationship with “The Most Lamentable Tragedy” changed at all since you released it?

Stickles: I don’t really spend too much time thinking about the album. When we were making it, it was such an all-consuming thing that took up every ounce of my mental energy all day every day for a couple of years. I was thinking about all the different things it could be, all the different ways it could go and all the thousands of decisions that go into making it what it is. Once it’s finished and once it’s out in the world, all that stuff is out of my hands now. Now, the record belongs to the world. It belongs to people and what they’re gonna get out of it.

TITUS ANDRONICUS

Q: Craig Finn of The Hold Steady is joining you for your Opolis tour date. I was wondering if there was a kinship between y’all as music fans or friends.

Stickles: He and I have been friends for many years now. He’s been a very big supporter of this band.

We met years ago when we played the same festival in England. ... He very gregariously came over and introduced himself. He had some very nice things to say about our first album, which was a pretty new release then. I was really struck with how friendly and down-to-earth he was. I was just becoming a fan of The Hold Steady. That was a really nice thing and very encouraging to a young guy, and he had nice things to say about my lyrics, which felt really good, because he’s obviously

one of the best lyricists. From there, we got to be buddies and we used to live in the same neighborhood, so we would hang out sometimes and he would kind of advise me a lot. As sort of an older guy in the game, when I had questions about the business or how to sustain a rock ’n’ roll career, he was always there and always happy to share the wisdom he had and guide me, for which I’m very grateful. He actually entrusted me to watch his cat one time. He went away on vacation for like a week, gave me the keys to his house, and I’d go over a couple times a day and look after the cat.

So, that’s a very heartwarming trust.

That’s serious stuff, you know. Even though Titus Andronicus and The Hold Steady only played together a couple of times, he’s been a real friend,

cover story

a real valuable guy in my life as an adviser and a supporter. ... We’ve been looking for an opportunity to do something together for a bunch of years. The stars seemed to finally align and we’re doing this tour together, and it’s going to be a ball.

I’m really looking forward to seeing him every day and seeing him perform. You know, I’m a big fan of his as an artist and of him as a person. He’s really a lovely man.

This isn’t something that some agents cooked up. This is built on a lot of years of friendship and mutual respect, and he appears on our second album as well. He did a little spoken-word reading from Walt Whitman, for which I was very grateful. He’s a great guy. He’s a great artist.

Study recommends improvements to make entertainment district more inviting

ow come there aren’t any signs that show the way to the Bricktown Canal?

Representatives of Downtown Oklahoma City Inc. also took notice of the lack of signage and other differences between the canal and its inspiration, the San Antonio Riverwalk, during a trip hosted by the local chapter of the Urban Land Institute.

Cheered on by Huntington, operator of the Bricktown Water Taxis, Downtown Oklahoma City Inc. hired the University of Oklahoma Institute of Quality Communities to draw up a plan that is now set to go into implementation.

Recommendations include adding the signage sought by Huntington, improving pedestrian crossings, adding bridges to improve access from one side of the canal to another and replacing glitch-prone wheelchair lifts with ramps.

Jill DeLozier, vice president of Downtown Oklahoma City Inc., said the recently completed study will be evaluated to prioritize recommendations and schedule improvements as funding is avail-

able. The organization hired the institute to draft the accessibility study following work funded through the Tax Increment Finance District and the Business Improvement District to repair and repaint canal railings, replace dying trees, and fix sidewalks throughout the entertainment district.

“Downtown Oklahoma City Inc. and the Bricktown Board of directors deciding to hire IQC for this accessibility audit is a big step toward making even more infrastructure improvements in the district,” DeLozier said. “It shows that city leaders are becoming more and more open to spending TIF and BID funds to make it safer, cleaner and more beautiful.”

Recommendations by the student designers and planners at OU include signage for public elevators and restrooms in buildings along the twolevel canal, murals on existing elevators and the BNSF Railway viaduct wall.

One rendering created as part of the study shows how a vertical lit up sign could add visual excitement and act as a way-finder for the canal.

The Bricktown plan, if implemented, would follow the successful action taken on a study created by the organization for the Western Ave-

nue District that influenced a streetscape now nearing completion.

Bricktown is gaining more momentum as a visitor destination with six planned hotels to be added to five that have opened the past decade.

The Steelyard area in east Bricktown, meanwhile, will include 400 apartments, 27,000 square feet of retail and a music venue that will accommodate up to 4,000 people.

While some of the improvements will benefit visitor experience, they are also directed at creating a more memorable experience for locals, said Mallory O’Neill, Bricktown district manager.

She said plans are underway to repair “long-forgotten” areas in Bricktown and stepping up public art and events.

“Bricktown is very important to the city for the sales tax it brings in and the attention it draws for business travelers and tourists,” O’Neill said.

“Our next step is to make it more relevant to locals again, and the first part of that will be to create an unforgettable pedestrian experience.”

February marks big beer sales in Oklahoma

t’s beer for as far as the eye can see at Anheuser-Busch Sales of Oklahoma’s 100,000-squarefoot beer warehouse in southeast Oklahoma City.

Workers in fluorescent green vests and safety goggles zip around a warehouse the size of two football fields, riding forklifts among the roughly 360 brands of beer. There are about 300,000 cases of beer in the warehouse at any given time.

Strong beer, with more than 3.2 percent alcohol by volume by Oklahoma standards, is relegated to one small corner of the warehouse, with its towering pallets of Michelob Ultra and Budweiser.

“It’s behind all of that Bud Light over there,” said Eric James, senior director of marketing and sales for ABSO OKC. Low-point beer sales make up more than 80 percent of beer sales in Oklahoma, James said.

About 10 million cases of beer pass through the climate-controlled facility off Interstate 240 every year, and the week before the Super Bowl is one of the beer distributor’s biggest weeks.

“The demand for beer is very seasonal, and the Super Bowl is one of those events that is very centered around beer,” James said.

Beer sells the best in the summer months, but a few key holidays in cooler months are also big for beer. Other “beer-centric holidays” include Halloween, July Fourth and St. Patrick’s Day, James said.

The firm keeps the area of the warehouse where the cases of beer are kept at about 40 degrees in

LOOKATOKC.COM

the winter months and in the high 50s in the summer. That helps maintain the quality of the product before it is shipped out to about 4,000 retail locations in central Oklahoma and along the Interstate 35 corridor.

However, under Oklahoma’s current system, strong beer first must go through a liquor distributor after leaving ABSO’s warehouse and before it lands on shelves at retail package stores in the state.

There’s also a draft room at the ABSO warehouse, where kegs of full-strength and 3.2 beer are kept at a chilly 36 degrees Fahrenheit before the containers of suds can be shipped out for on-premises sales at bars, restaurants and events.

Anheuser-Busch of Oklahoma helped launch a new trade group in 2015 — The Oklahoma Beer Alliance — to support alcohol law reforms in the state, such as legalizing the sale of cold, fullstrength beer in stores.

The Alliance, whose members include five beer distributors and the brewer Anheuser-Busch, support full-strength beer in Oklahoma, but not getting rid of 3.2 percent beer.

The group supports keeping the state’s current system to distribute low-point beer, but to also distribute strong beer to grocery and convenience stores.

“We feel like it would give consumers more choice and be less disruptive,” said Lisette Barnes, president of the Oklahoma Beer Alliance.

Three years ago, Anna and Drew Mains gathered investors to buy the flagging In the Raw franchise in Bricktown, next to Harkins Theater. What has happened since is nothing short of miraculous. With a steady foundation of regulars and a spirited staff, they have turned that restaurant around.

Last year, they rolled out a new menu with such innovations as Ahi Tuna Nachos. These crispy little wontons
