ometimes it’s hard to get a grasp on BY NATHAN POPPE a story. LOOKATOKC EDITOR Even when it’s right in front of NPOPPE@OPUBCO.COM your face. I’d walked past Tommy McDowell’s home a few times after leaving Back Door BBQ and Grandad’s Bar, and he always scared the living daylights out of me. He sorta pops out of nowhere. When I pass his bedding in the vacant Uptown storefront alcove, I never expect to see a human being in there. It wasn’t until I got an email at work and started talking to Adam Kemp and Chris Landsberger about McDowell that things started clicking. And after you read Adam’s excellent cover story and see Chris’ stunning photos, I hope you realize this isn’t just a story about a guy with brooms and dustpans. It’s about our community. The city is Tommy’s lifeblood. His tireless devotion is one part Oklahoma work ethic and another part walking miracle. I don’t know he’s able to do what he does. I wouldn’t last a single cold night outside the comfort of my bedroom. I remember almost losing one of my first jobs in college because I refused to sweep the dining hall floors after a long day. It’s sort of a silly story, but it seems a lot less funny when I think about Tommy. There’s not a single thing wrong with what he does, and it makes our city a little better. Sure, it might not make a lot of sense but hard work rarely does at first. A special thanks to anyone who has supported Tommy and his Uptown sweeping venture. Also, Adam and Chris knocked this story out of the park. I appreciate it, gents. This issue is unique, and I’m especially glad it features so many of Chris’ photos. If you’ve noticed a portrait gracing the back cover of LOOKatOKC recently, then that’s from Chris. His photo series has featured some unique characters. Now it’s his turn on the cover. If you have any stories or people that you think would be a fit for LOOKatOKC don’t ever hesitate to let us know. We care about this place and the people who make it great.

MATT CARNEY All about creating a deeper relationship with music.
T
here is no theme running through these four new songs, no single common thread shared by all. Well, okay, you got me, there are actually two: they’re all relatively new and all totally awesome. Get to your local record store or Google machine and check them out for yourself. Native Lights — “Blue Star” There aren’t many rock bands that can pull off intimate, sincere music on a stadium scale, but the ones who succeed — shoegaze bands like My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive — tend to cultivate extremely devoted followings. Tulsa’s Native Lights fits this rare mold by burying very gentle, delicate melodies under thick, swooning layers of guitar pedal noise. Although the band doesn’t play shows all that often, it’s one of my favorite local live bands, and I was excited to learn last week that after several years of playing shows Native Lights is releasing its self-titled debut record. It’s out later this month on Passive Recordings and it’s got this very dreamy but powerful song titled “Blue Star” that’s characteristic of everything I love about Native Lights’ live shows. It picks up speed and slows
FOLLOW @OKMATTCARNEY ON TWITTER down, it seems to rise and fall and all the while singer Bryce Chambers’ muttered, droning vocals sorta lure you into this hypnotic state of listening enlightenment. Heems — “Sometimes” The part of my heart that loves slacker irreverence and clever wordplay shriveled up and died when Brooklyn rap trio Das Racist broke up in 2012. Their self-titled debut album and two mixtapes — titled “Shut Up, Dude” and “Sit Down, Man” and loaded with cultural allusions — poked fun at traditional rap narratives and reveled in a dopey, back-of-the-classroom humor that always somehow turned out far more profound than you assumed. And while Das Racist’s three members went their separate creative ways, Himanshu Suri is about to put out his first studio record under the alias Heems. It’s called “Eat, Pray, Thug,” and like much of his work for Das Racist, it examines his own racial identity as a firstgeneration South Asian living the United States. “Sometimes” gives you a sense of what he’s getting at on the rest of the record, playing with a duality that isn’t even limited to his own sense of ethnic identity. Speedy Ortiz — “Raising the Skate” There’s an odd, almost invasive moment three minutes into “Raising the Skate,” the new song from Massachusetts punk band Speedy Ortiz. The drums drop out rather abruptly from an already jagged, jumpy song, leaving singer Sadie Dupuis’ wry delivery hanging there in midair, as if she were suddenly talking straight to you and only you, face-to-face, one-on-one. It’s really pretty intimidating, considering that she’s just dropped one of the more self-empowering lyrics I’ve heard in a while: “I’m not bossy, I’m the boss.” Dupuis seems like somebody you wouldn’t want to cross. Her band certainly plays like it fears her wrath. “Raising the Skate” sounds intentionally chaotic, a kitchen sink with all manner of noisy punk-rock tricks thrown in to spin around the drain. Other Lives — “Reconfiguration” The last time I talked with Jesse Tabish from Other Lives was early in 2012, not long before his band, which originated in Stillwater, set back out on the road to resume touring its breakthrough second record “Tamer Animals,” an ordeal that lasted well over two years and included a handful of dates opening for Radiohead. Back then he told me that music he’d been writing at the time mirrored the transient state of the band’s life on the road. He described it as “buzzing and fluttery, fastpaced and open-ended.” Last week Other Lives announced its third record, “Rituals,” will be out this spring, and the new song “Reconfiguration” that came with it seems not just to confirm Tabish’s description of what he was working on, but is markedly different from either of the band’s first two records. Most noticeably. the drum patterns sound kinda like they belong in a hip-hop song, which is a cool, new look for Other Lives.

Frank’s Wurst keeps getting better for owner

ho said watching TV rots your brain? It inspired it for one local food cart owner. “I had a healthy addiction with the Food Network and the Travel Channel,” said Kody Hookstra, owner of Frank’s Wurst. “I became obsessed with mobile food.”
“LOOKatME” focuses on creative people and projects based in Oklahoma.
LOOKATOKC.COM
Then three years ago, his obsession became a reality with Frank’s Wurst, a hot dog food cart based in Oklahoma City. It’s a job he wanted since traveling with his former band Glister. “Playing in a band we got to go to Austin a lot, and eating at a food truck was one of our favorite things to do,” he said. Frank’s Wurst started as a food cart, but expanded in Feburary to serve food from the 51st Street Speakeasy kitchen, 1114 NW 51st St. The menu changes weekly, but it retains a theme of brats, franks and eclectic extras. “Frank’s Wurst catered a wedding about two years ago (at the Speakeasy). Then we came out on Saturdays,” Hookstra said. “We did almost every Saturday for a year, selling hot dogs and bratwursts on the patio. When they were ready to make a move to do something with their kitchen, we were at the top of their list.” You don’t have to know any password to get a delicious hot dog from Frank’s Wurst at the Speakeasy either. All you need is an appetite for adventure with sauces such as bacon smoke honey, curry ketchup and jalapeno sweet relish. Then you can top it off with Flaming Hot Cheetos, pork rinds or kimchi. The menu expands outside of the bun realm. They also have sandwiches, dips and wontons. Hookstra’s goals are simple. He just wants to pay rent and do something fun. Now it’s become much more
than an activity. “I think we’re at capacity right now,” Hookstra said. “Everybody said when I first got the cart I could make a lot of money. I think the next step will be selling sausage by the pound.” Hookstra makes time to catch shows at The Conservatory. He’s also into kayaking at Lake Overholser and checking out new eateries throughout the city. You can try Frank’s Wurst new Speakeasy location Tuesday through Thursday from 5p.m. to midnight and Saturday from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. Call 990-9382 for more information.

eering though the lens of a microscope, artist Tiffany McKnight isn’t searching for a cure, deformities or diseases to diagnose. She is searching for patterns, intriguing compositions and forms. When she searches the sea, she dives farther than man — into places where organisms display unique color combinations, lights and shapes that seem alien. In a way, she is a teacher, repackaging her findings in exciting and tangible ways for public consumption, through art. “Diatoms are one of my favorite organisms because they have a seemingly infinite array of forms that stem from their bilateral symmetry. My love for symmetry, and my process of multiplicity, definitely pays homage to these organisms’ ability to self-replicate,” McKnight said. “Basically, science and biology are one of the most titillating fields, that have a direct influence on my overall compositions, color choices, and
Page 8
March 11 - March 24, 2015
context,” McKnight said. These patterns, sophisticated and detailed, begin with hand-drawn sketches that are scanned into a computer then digitally manipulated using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator into intriguing forms. They are then applied to various objects such as pillows, phone cases and prints that have been shared in galleries and even Times Square in New York. She is not constrained by medium; she constantly searches for new methods of self-expression. “Art is something that I believe is very closely tied to self-identity and self-exploration,” McKnight said. “I’m always looking for the next high, the next answer, the next look, the next step. It’s like the humanistic nature — the search.” At heart, McKnight is “definitely a printmaker” but is collaborating with a Los Angeles-based fashion designer to create a line of swimwear and clothing scheduled to hit beaches in 2016. Perhaps the organisms in the deep blue sea will see a piece of them floating above.
McKnight creates amazing art, and that goes without saying. However she works with a purpose beyond beauty. “Being a female artist, especially being a minority artist, it is important to express yourself in an artistic way. It is important to fulfill that role for myself and set an example for other people because one’s cultural background shouldn’t hold you back from obtaining your dreams,” McKnight said. Stay tuned for her upcoming projects that include a collaboration with local community center Six Twelve, and a group exhibition “The Elaborate to Collaborate,” curated by local artists Romy Owens and Kelsey Karper at IAO Gallery.

KAITLIN BUTTS
remember me. I played you some Merle Haggard songs in a hotel lobby once.” Q: So “Same Hell” is really your first record, then, but you had some studio experience before that. What did you do differently the second time around that made you more confident? Butts: I had very skilled musicians in the country genre. I kind of explained to them what kind of vibe I wanted for each song, and they just nailed it on the first try. I wanted a Western, classic-country feel. I didn’t want it to sound Nashville-y or anything like that. Q: Do you think attending ACM changed how you’re handling your career in its beginning stages?
band q&a
Butts: Derek Brown at ACM helps musicians get familiar with the scene, because we’re just kids. He helps us get out there, and he got me that gig at Gypsy Cafe. Derek kind of pushed me into it, and that’s been good. I kind of do things that I’m not quite ready for, but then I have to be ready for them. For example, I was asked to open for Wade Bowen (with three days’ notice). I’m not completely prepared, but I have to just pull everything together. That’s worked out for me. I know I can’t ease my way into things, and it’s been the most beneficial thing for me. Q: Now that you’ve had experience in all facets of music, what’s your favorite part of it? Butts: I loved recording with Mike, and everything’s different and good in its own way, but the intimacy a live performance has is my favorite part. You get to see it happen. You get to tell people why you wrote a song — or not tell them, and let (them) figure out what it means to them. — Becky Carman, for LOOKatOKC

klahoma City songwriter Kaitlin Butts, 21, has the trappings of a future country star: the grit, the twang and the love of the stage. In all ways, the former vocal performance major at ACM@UCO seems ready for the big time — and willing to work for it. Her debut album “Same Hell, Different Devil was released on Feb. 27. Q: When and why did you start playing music, since it wasn’t something you grew up around? Butts: My mom enrolled me in gymnastics when I was little, and the teacher couldn’t keep me away from the mirrors, where I would sing to myself. So I enrolled in voice lessons, and I did dance for 16 years, too, and it was really fun. Eventually I got tired of singing to a track, so I picked up a guitar around the same time Miranda Lambert and Taylor Swift came about. They were girls who played guitar, and I thought I could do that. Q: How did you get involved with collaborators like Lloyd Maines and Mike McClure? They’re consid-
LOOKATOKC.COM
erably older than you. How did you make those connections? Butts: I never met Lloyd Maines; he just played on tracks and sent them back to us. I never got to hang out with him, which is good, because I would’ve freaked out and asked if I could be the fourth Dixie Chick (Maines is the father of longtime Dixie Chicks frontwoman Natalie Maines). I met Mike at this big Gypsy Cafe show a couple years ago, after, when everyone was hanging out at the hotel. I just saw that something cool was going on and sat down with my guitar. I knew who Mike was but I hadn’t memorized his face, I guess. I didn’t know who I was sitting next to. He asked me to play a Merle Haggard song — he wasn’t expecting me to know any — so I played three. I wasn’t sure if he’d remember me. Later, I’d been working on a project, but it wasn’t really working out the way I wanted it to, and the day I figured that out, Mike posted a Facebook status that said he had some studio time open, and that was a nudge in the right direction. I called him and said, “Hey, I don’t know if you

orman post-rock instrumental band Nebulae is set to release its self-titled album, a seven-track cassette on OKC label PSI Lab. Husband and wife duo Steve Machovic, bass, and Cynthia “Luxy” Machovic, keyboards, recruited friends Joey Powell and Jason Scott, guitar and drums, respectively, to fill out their wall of sound. Think “mute-heavy Pink Floyd” or Mogwai — Nebulae is, true to its name, spaced-out rock, perfect for slow head nods and maybe even a little dancing. Q: Tell me about the recording of your first studio album. Luxy Machovic: We recorded at Hook Echo Sound with Chris Harris in a weekend at the end of June 2014. We got in at 9 in the morning and left at 7 the first day. Second day was editing. Jason Scott: Yeah, that was literally it. One day of
Page 12
March 11 - March 24, 2015
recording, one day of a couple fixes here and there. Q: The release is a limited run of 50 cassettes, and then digital as well, right? Luxy Machovic: Jonathan (Lambeth, of Guestroom Records) runs PSI Lab. He’s done Expo 70, Loom and quite a few other cassette releases. We kind of fit his groove, and he asked if we’d release our first album on cassette with him. It was good timing, and apparently cassettes are making a comeback. Q: When did Nebulae become a band? I know Luxy and Steve played music at home together for a while. Steve Machovic: We started talking about it in February or March 2013, but we didn’t start playing all together until September. Luxy Machovic: I started hanging out at Abner’s (McNellie’s Norman) and met Joey there. Scott: They were looking for a drummer, and Joey tipped them off to me, and they tracked me down. On foot, literally, at an art walk. Luxy Machovic: I had already talked about it with Joey
once, and when I reminded him, he agreed to be in our band — if we got Jason to drum for us. So I went to Jason’s art show, and he was talking to other people, so I interrupted him and asked him to be in a band with us. Scott: And I said, “OK. I’ll ... talk to you guys about this later.” Q: Do you write on-the-fly during practice, or is someone bringing a framework to the group? Luxy Machovic: One song, I had five notes and brought it in, and Joey heard it once and nailed it, and Steve and Jason just joined in, and it was a song. Scott: It definitely comes pretty naturally. Steve Machovic: Initially I had written two basic lines to start this band, and everything else has been improvised into songs. Scott: Sometimes we’ll screw around at practice for a long time and think maybe we should just have someone in the audience hum a tune for us and we’ll just play with that for 10 minutes live. I was all on a high horse about how easy it is, and then my other bands reminded me it doesn’t all come that naturally. Luxy Machovic: So I guess we’re kind of a jam band. I hate to call it that. Scott: The first few times we played, not a single song was structurally close to how we’d practiced it. Q: So are the songs structured now? When you play your release show, are these the same songs that are on the tape? Scott: Now that we play pretty regularly and recorded these songs, yeah, we can hear it the same way a few times and play it that way. Q: Is there something different that you hope to get across live that someone won’t get just taking the record home? Scott: Live, it’s so loud you can feel it. And the improvisation thing. It’ll be a little different. I think we all get a little crazier live. It’s a little livelier and a lot louder. And you get to look at us, and we’re beautiful (laughs). Q: You guys are relatively different from the bands playing around here, especially in bars. Do you think people react the same way to you, as an instrumental rock band, as they do to a band with a vocalist? Luxy Machovic: No. I just want to melt face. Scott: Oh. I hadn’t ever really thought about it. It’s just a fun thing for me to do, so I show up and play. In the other bands, sometimes I look out and see people dancing. I guess people do move to this. Luxy Machovic: I did see people dancing to one of our songs, and I thought, ‘What?’ We’d like to grab people, and we’re heavy, but there are soft spots, and not every song is the exact same. Scott: That’s one thing I like about the recording. It’s loud but not too loud. It conveys energy without blowing your eardrums out. But I can’t make that same promise for this show. — Becky Carman, for LOOKatOKC

‘MCFARLAND, USA’
movie review
MOVIE REVIEW ‘MCFARLAND, USA’ PG 2:09 3 1⁄2 stars Starring: Kevin Costner, Ramiro Rodriguez, Carlos Pratts, Johnny Ortiz and Rafael Martinez. (Thematic material, some violence and language)
Kevin Costner’s latest sports drama has heart
K
evin Costner never met a sports drama he didn’t like. The genre has been a safe bet for the everyman actor since before I was alive, and it’s an even safer bet for Disney (“Million Dollar Arm,” “Miracle,” “The Rookie”). I imagine Disney has gone so far as to teach mice the mathematical formula for how to build an uplifting sports movie. A hearty helping of head and heart makes for an endearing tale in “McFarland, USA.” Costner plays Jim White, a crusty football coach whose career and family life is dustier than the fields his predominantly Latino neighbors and students wake up to pick at 4:30 a.m. Moving to McFarland, Calif., is a culture shock for White’s family. They’re as comfortable ordering food in an authentic Mexican restaurant as my stomach is after a double punch of a Cheesy Gordita Crunch and a Mountain Dew. White isn’t thrilled with life in California's Central Valley. There’s a prison next door to where he teaches. A neighbor gifts him a chicken as a housewarming present. It’s 1987. Lowriders blast music in his neighborhood. But we soon learn that White’s high school students have it rough, too. They pick crops, go to school and pick again at night. But wouldn’t you know, that sort of work ethic and
LOOKATOKC.COM
pain tolerance is the essence of what it takes to excel at cross country running. White scrapes together an inaugural team to compete for the state championship and tip-toes around his team’s adversity before tackling it head on. He even works the field alongside his athletes until his back goes out. Disney has always had a knack for tapping into universal themes. Here we explore the idea of what family really means and just how thin the differences are between the White family and the Latino community. You get hit in the face with it especially hard when a traditional rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” segues into a Spanish guitar version. It was enough to make me envision a bald eagle driving a Ford F-150 with one talon and holding a Mexican flag in the other. Guys, we’re all in this together. “McFarland, USA” isn’t treading on any new ground, but it does things gracefully and with heart. And it’s
always well-meaning, even if its pacing gets a tad wonky. Things never get too winded in this warm, fuzzy “true story.” It gets bonus points for featuring no-name actors with realistic builds and facial features. If you aren’t cheering for the McFarland runners in gray jerseys and red shorts by the credits, then your heart is ice cold. Let “McFarland, USA” restore your faith in humanity for at least a couple of hours. — Nathan Poppe, for LOOKatOKC

‘FOCUS’
MOVIE REVIEW ‘FOCUS’ R 1:44 3 stars Starring: Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Rodrigo Santoro, Gerald McRaney and Adrian Martinez. (Language, some sexual content and brief violence)
Will Smith charms and cons his way through ‘Focus’
W
ill Smith couldn’t get into moviegoers’ pockets with the critical and commercial dud that was “After Earth,” but now he has the ingredients to pull off a sweet score and grab some box office bucks. “Focus” has everything that’s needed for easy pickings at the ticket window, including such crowd-pleasers as taut suspense and intrigue, a blond femme fatale, beautifully photographed exotic locales, an unpredictable plot that keeps viewers guessing, occasional laughs, a few dashes of touching emotion, and a cool and cunning rascal of a protagonist worth rooting for, despite his larcenous ways. Smith fills the latter bill with plenty of panache as Nicky Spurgeon, a seasoned con artist and master of misdirection in this clever and complex comedy-drama from Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, the writing-directing team responsible for “Crazy, Stupid, Love.” Australian newcomer Margot Robbie (“The Wolf of Wall Street”) lights up every scene she’s
Page 14
March 11 - March 24, 2015
in as Jess Barrett, the sexy novice con woman eager to sharpen her own criminal chops. Jess persuades Nicky to teach her everything he knows, from sleight-of-hand pickpocket moves to the so-called “long con,” which is any complicated ruse designed to bilk a “mark” out of a large sum of money. It’s a skill set Nicky calls “the science of trust.” The action moves from snowy New York to sunny New Orleans, where pickings are plentiful for Nicky and his crew of pros. But when Nicky and Jess begin to steal each other’s hearts, the teacher abandons his pupil, unwilling to gamble that true love can exist between two people who lie and deceive for a living. But three years later, when Nicky and Jess cross paths again in post-card spectacular Buenos Aires, not only does he discover that he’s never gotten over her, he also finds that she’s become accomplished at the confidence racket. And worse, she’s now romantically involved with crooked millionaire racing team owner Rafael Garriga (Rodrigo Santoro, “300: Rise of an Empire”), the same man who’s hired Nicky to help him fix a championship car race.
To complicate Nicky’s real plans, Garriga has directed his suspicious head of security, Owens (Gerald McRaney, TV’s “House of Cards”), to keep an eye on the con man. The production is slick, the cinematography brings out all the elegance, vibrant colors and details of the settings, the dialogue is witty and intelligent, and there’s the added attractions of football, fast cars and guns. As we’ve mentioned, it’s got everything a popcorn movie fan could ask for, including steamy love scenes between Robbie and Smith. The intricate scams sometimes make the plot too complicated for its own good, but to the directors’ credit, they never lose sight of the love story between the two main characters, which is the real heart of “Focus.” It’s a neat balancing act. And the big bonus is the potent chemistry that simmers between the romantic leads, which holds the whole show together. — Gene Triplett, for LOOKatOKC
LOOKATOKC.COM
WILL SMITH, ‘FOCUS’ WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. — Every one of us is a con artist. This according to Will Smith, star of “Focus,” a romantic comedy-drama that’s all about highstakes scam operators and the dubious possibility of true love blossoming between male and female practitioners of such a criminal endeavor, where trust is earned under false pretenses. “Part of what was exciting to me about taking this role is how everybody’s running a con, right?” the artist formerly known as the Fresh Prince said during a news conference at the Four Seasons Hotel in Westlake Village, outside of Los Angeles. “So, every single person in here right now is running a con,” he told a large group of reporters. “We’ve chosen our clothes, we’ve done our hair. Everyone wants to be perceived a certain way to gain the things that they have decided are the things they want in their life. There is at the center of this film, the idea that lying and loving don’t go together. Right?” In this slickly crafted film, written and directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa — the duo who gave us “Crazy, Stupid, Love” — Smith plays Nicky Spurgeon, a smooth con man supremely skilled at diverting your “focus” while he picks your pocket (or pulls off deceptions on a much larger scale), who meets a gorgeous young woman named Jess (played by Margot Robbie), who persuades Nicky to teach her his trade. As he is mentoring her, she gets a little too close emotionally — a luxury Nicky can’t afford — and he coldly breaks things off, only to run into her three years later in Buenos Aires. He finds that she’s become an accomplished con artist herself. And Jess proceeds to derail the plans of Nicky and his crew to profit illicitly from a high-rolling international race car event. A later segment also employs the Super Bowl game as a backdrop for Nicky’s complex shenanigans. The film opened nationwide on standard and IMAX screens Feb. 27. “I guess for me, the huge takeaway from the film, now that we’re starting to talk about it, that’s coming to mind, is how everything is perception,” Smith said. “How reality almost does not matter at all. When you’re talkin’ to a person, it only matters what they are perceiving. That you need them to perceive you as a loving husband. You don’t necessarily need to be one. I mean, that’s always a good road, if you actually are one. But how important is the perception? What people are perceiving will dictate ... ultimately what your interaction is.”

Robbins said members of the cast, especially Smith and Robbie, were quick studies in the rudimentary lessons he taught them concerning his art. “You know, I’ve had a lot more time — 20 years — at doing what I do,” Robbins said. “It was pretty amazing that it wasn’t that I was with them the whole time during filming. It was very concentrated. ... And so they had to be able to pick up the ball and absorb it, and it’s very interesting how many scenes and little bits Margot was able to pick up and then they put her in a scene where she’s got to wear this tight skirt and high heels on a cobblestone road in front of 700 people. We hadn’t rehearsed with the idea of 700 people around us. And lighting. Sometimes we’ve gotta film on the other side of the street, and she was asked, ‘Can you do this left-handed?’ “Phenomenally fast,” Robbins said. “Same thing for Will, too. I exposed him to what I could during the time that we could. And then he picked up the ball and rolled with it.”
PERSONAL PERCEPTION Meanwhile, there was a personal magic going on for Smith during the making of “Focus.” “For me, this film really marks a transition in my life, and emotionally in my career,” he said. “After the failure of ‘After Earth,’ a thing got broken in my mind. I was like, ‘Oh, wow. I’m still alive. Oh, wow.’ Actually, I still am me. Even though the movie didn’t open (at) No. 1. ‘Wait. I still can get hired on another movie.’ But all of those things in my mind, my entire, my entire, you know, ‘Mr. July,’ ‘Big Willie Weekend,’ ‘Number One,’ ‘eight in a row.’ All of that thing got collapsed, and I realized I still was a good person. “So when I went into ‘Focus,’ I completely released the concept of goal orientation, and got into path orientation,” Smith said. “This moment, this second, these people, this interaction. And it is a huge relief for me to not care whether or not ‘Focus’ is No. 1, or No. 10 at the box office. I’ve already gained everything that I could possibly hope for from meeting the people that I met and from the creation of what we did together. And it’s just painting. I’m gonna paint, and some paintings are gonna be fantastic and others are gonna not be so good. But I don’t, I no longer measure the quality of myself on whether or not somebody else thinks what I painted is beautiful.” As the man said, it’s all a matter of perception. — Gene Tripplett, for LOOKatOKC
MASTER OF DECEIT The physical mechanics of perception — or deception, misperception or misdirection, however one perceives the art of sleight-of-hand — were taught to the cast by Apollo Robbins, nicknamed the “Gentleman Thief,” a performer and one of the world’s leading experts on pickpockets, confidence crimes and just deception in general.

hen the calendar turns to March, the anticipation for outdoor cooking is almost unbearable. Alas, we live in Oklahoma where, aside from plain-sweeping winds, blue northers and arctic blasts have been known to ruin a sunny day. So, a few years ago, I went about trying to find a foolproof method of cooking burgers on the stovetop. My first “lesson” came at the one place where burgers made indoors have reached an art form: Nic’s Grill, 1201 N Pennsylvania. Seated at the bar, I studied Justin “Nic” Nicholas’ technique as he regaled his audience with colorful stories about a subject I no longer remember. However, I’ll never forget watching him play traffic cop to a lot of huge burger patties on an enormous flat-top. The takeaway from Nic’s and many, many test runs is to make an initial hard sear on the burger then remove it to less aggressive heat to gently finish. That ensures a crisp, flavorful crust on the outside and a lush, juicy result on the inside. In my trials, I’ve found heating a cast-iron griddle or skillet about five minutes over high heat before adding the beef ensures a nice sear. It takes no more than 2 minutes per side to get a perfect crust at that temperature. If your griddle has handles on the ends like mine, you must keep an eye on flames from the stove that may try to creep through for a taste of lovely beef fat. This cursed coupling is likely to start an unintended teppanyaki show in your kitchen. So, either pay attention, or have sliced a whole onion into sections and cored out the middle, to do an onion volcano for the kids when the flames begin. Once you’ve avoided lighting the kitchen aflame and managed to put a hard sear on your burger patties, you’ll want to transfer the burgers into a warm oven to finish. You can simply move the whole griddle or skillet into the oven and set the time for 2 to 4 minutes (depending on whether you want your patties cooked medium or mediumwell), but the side touching the griddle will cook slightly more for an uneven finish. The fix is to use a baking rack. After I’ve seared my burgers, I turn the burners off, move the patties aside and place a baking rack on the griddle. Then I transfer the burgers to the rack and move the griddle into a 300-degree oven. After two minutes in the oven, you’ve got a medium burger; four minutes will get you a nice medium-well. For this recipe, I cooked some bacon in advance and reserved the grease. Once I transferred the burgers to the baking rack, I added

the bacon grease to the open side of the griddle, which is still plenty hot to cook even with the flame off. Then I added onion slices and a couple of halved serrano peppers, swirled them in the bacon fat and transferred the whole thing to the oven to finish. The peppers were charred, the onions crispy and caramelized, and the result was divine. It’s gotten such that the family prefers burgers cooked on the stove over burgers over an open flame. Warning, depending on the fat content of the beef, this can be a smoky endeavor, so you’ll need to run your vent hood and maybe open some windows — or all the windows. But it’s totally worth it. As for other toppings, I’m not about to tell anyone how to eat their burger. I liked fried onions and hot peppers plus a smear of Seikel’s Oklahoma Gold Mustard, sliced pickles and some good cheese. My daughter Kate takes her burger nekked (meat and bread only); my son Luke usually concocts a riff on ranch dressing plus onions and peppers — absolutely no pickles. My wife, Lori, is vegetarian, so she’s eating a veggie patty cooked in a separate pan. We all like our buns to come from Prairie Thunder Baking Co. if we can get them. Uptown Grocery Co., in Edmond, makes a nice version, too. And if you just can’t figure out the stovetop burger,

UNION BUS STATION
A
n effort to stop demolition of the Union Bus Station failed to win support of Oklahoma City’s Board of Adjustment on March 5, but Ward 2 Councilman Ed Shadid is vowing to continue his fight in Oklahoma County District Court. The Board of Adjustment voted 4-1 to uphold a January decision by the Downtown Design Review Committee to allow Houston developer Hines to raze the bus station to make way for a garage to be built as part of the 27-story 499 W Sheridan Ave. tower development. Travis Lawler, attorney for Shadid, repeated arguments attempted in unsuccessful fights against demolition of Stage Center and the Oklahoma Capitol Savings & Loan building; that the Downtown Design Review Committee is tasked with preserving as historic resources. Lawler also argued the committee was not provided with a traffic study compiled by Hines and Chicago-based developer Clayco, which is developing four towers on the Stage Center block south of the Hines project. Lawler also argued the design ordinance required the committee to consult with the city’s Historic Preservation Committee. The Hines development was first reported by The Oklahoman on Dec. 13. The development designs, including demolition of the bus station and eight other decades-old structures, were approved by the Downtown Design Review Committee on Jan. 15. Shadid argued the committee should have waited for traffic impact studies before backing Hines in its demolition request.

Process is too fast? “The process is moving much too fast,” Shadid said. “When we had the Downtown Design Review Committee review of this item, which lasted several hours, it had two and half hours of support from the applicants and about five minutes for those opposed. They waited to the last possible minute to present the plans to staff, the council and public during the holidays. And I think that’s reflected when you only had two speakers and five minutes in opposition.” The Union Bus Station was built in 1941, and was the only one singled out by city planners as worthy of preservation in a recommendation given to the review committee. City planners noted the building is a unique example of Art Moderne architecture. David Box, attorney for Hines, responded that planning for 499 W Sheridan was underway for months and included
consultations with city planners. “This process was not rushed,” Box said. “This process was evolving for months and months. When the Downtown Design Review Committee voted on Jan. 15, this was the second time the committee heard this case. … It was something worked on with a lot of care.” Box provided examples of 30 Art Moderne buildings in Oklahoma City, including the Hart and Oklahoma Theater Supply buildings on Film Row a block west of the bus station. Box presented a letter from current property owner, Nicholas Preftakes, who dismissed suggestions by Shadid that redevelopment of the bus station is viable with historic tax credits and tax increment financing. Box presented reports from four different engineering consultants reporting the building was dilapidated and eligible for condemnation, had suffered extensive water damage resulting in mold, needs all new electrical and mechanical systems, needs elevators, and has significant deterioration in its concrete structure. Lawler cited the redevelopment of a similar bus station in Savannah, Ga., into an upscale restaurant as evidence of similar prospects for the Union Bus Station. The Oklahoman also previously reported The Good Egg Dining Group looked at redeveloping the bus station into a downtown location of its Republic restaurant earlier last year. Flawed comparison? Box reported March 5 such comparison is flawed because the developer of the Savannah bus station acquired the building for $500,000 while the Union Bus Station was sold to Preftakes for $2 million. Board of Adjustment Chairman Jeff Austin urged fellow board members not to consider the traffic study, saying it was not a part of Shadid’s appeal. Austin said he found no evidence the design review committee acted inappropriately or outside its discretion. Board member Scott Cravens said Shadid and Lawler offered no evidence that redevelopment and preservation of the bus station was economically viable. Janis Powers cast the lone vote against demolition of the Union Bus Station. After the vote, Shadid promised to continue his fight. — Steve Lackmeyer, for LOOKatOKC

nternational clothing retailer H&M has designs on a two-story, 22,713-square-foot store at Quail Springs Mall, according to a building permit filed with the city. The new H&M store would be a new junior anchor at the north end of the mall between Dillard’s and Macy’s. Plans are in the works to combine several smaller storefronts in the mall to make way for H&M, according to plans filed with the permit. Building plans include space previously occupied by The Disney Store, Francesca’s Collections and Ruth’s Christian Book Store. Some of the stores are being relocated to other suites in the mall in accommodation of the plans. The building permit was filed in Febuary. H&M has been rumored to be eyeing an entry into the Oklahoma City market for the past two years. The store would be H&M’s first in Oklahoma. H&M declined to discuss plans for the Quail Springs location. “At this time we do not have anything to announce for this location,” the company said in a statement. Jeannette Smith, a spokeswoman for Quail Springs Mall, said she could not yet confirm H&M’s pending arrival. Sweden-based H&M markets itself as providing highfashion clothing for men and women at more affordable prices. In addition to H&M, the H&M Group includes the brands COS, Monki, Weekday, Cheap Monday, & Other Stories and H&M Home. The H&M Group has more than 3,500 stores in 55 countries. H&M is owned by Hennes & Mauritz AB. The company was founded in Sweden in 1947 and its stock is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. — Brianna Bailey, for LOOKatOKC
