Who's ready for some Diversafest action?!

I talked with so many people who had never been to Tulsa, but were definately excited to come back. I even had a couple of people call Tulsa "the next Austin".

D-Fest is definately a great thing for Tulsa.

Saw Jacob Fred, Zappa Plays Zappa, and the Roots on Saturday. JFJO was great, but they have really changed their sound and were playing as a five piece -- I think it's a welcome change as they had become sort of predictable, or if not that, stale. Zappa was a lot of fun; they had a couple of the guys who played with Frank Zappa. The Roots were really good; came away impressed with the guitar player more than anything. They were really different from their previous show at Cain's.

The crowd seemed more obnoxious last night. We kept having to avoid this gutter punk kid who smelled like poo and had a Davey Crocket/dreds haircut. He had this little buddy who would dance around and run into us repeatedly. Someone tried to use nightstick justice on him and he went all Wolverine on the crowd. He finally puked up whatever substances made him act that way.

D-fest brought people in from all over. I talked to a guy who drove in from Little Rock just to see Zappa. This thing has so much potential.

Yeah, annoyed me really bad last night.  Could've been that I was sober though.

Between the the Brady District (Canes, Brady Theater, Sound Pony, etc.), the PAC having a few music acts, the new BOk Center getting big draws and Dfest downtown, Country Fever, and Rocklahoma in Pryor... Tulsa is really starting to get a damn nice music scene.  I hope the snowball starts to roll and continues to grow!

The Roots was basically a soft porn in the crowd.

Just got home...lasted until 2:45am.

What do you mean by that?  The performers?  Or the crowd was flashing and stripping?

Was anyone arrested?

zpz was far and away the best act i'd seen all weekend.  

absolutely incredible musicians.  I'd love to see a full set.  It was great seeing the kiddies mass exodus for the gate too.  some get it, some don't.

Best thing Tulsa has going for it. Hands down, no contest. This thing will be huge within 2-3 years.

Crowd was wasted and people were in the mood. That's all I got for you.

No arrest for love making at DFest that I can report to the forums as of right now. Stay tuned.

Well, I don't think podunk festivals in Pryor count (nor do I want them to?)...but this festival is something the city should really embrace.

I read in the paper they would like to expand it across the city. They should do this as soon as possible.

From small bands to large bands...utilize every single venue in the city for a weekend. Then go from there...

What do all of the best cities have in common? Great live music. It's not up for debate...you can go after the generic OKC way of doing things or we can go after the arts. The latter is where it's at. You get that, then everything will follow.

Ghostland Observatory was absolutely stunning.  Those guys are unlike anything else and I can't wait to see them again.  I haven't been able to get their music out of my head since Friday.  I hope they were telling the truth when they said they would be back and that they loved the crowd.

I was thinking the same thing about Cavedoll. They seemed impressed by the crowd and said that they would be proud to party any time in Tulsa.
