ulnerability isn’t a weakness.

K.C. Clifford sees it as an ever-evolving strength.

The Oklahoma City-based songwriter, 42, has wrestled with honesty and openness in her music, family and physical appearance for decades. She’s not afraid to get personal songs or in public. Just check one of her Facebook posts where she tackles the lows of buying toddler formula at Walmart in her pajamas at midnight or the one about the pressure of walking into a photo session with no make-up on and overcoming a nauseating anxiety.

more than I did at 22,” Clifford told LOOKatOKC. “I hope to keep rising into this strength and not see it as a weakness. ... I’m not going to let things like whether I looked good in my jeans stop me from living my life.”

It almost did. Clifford started songwriting as a way to process a near-death experience she had at 20. An eating disorder had grown out of control and it almost ended her life.

“That’s where my life as a songwriter was born, out of my post-treatment time when I moved to Nashville,” Clifford said. “What I realized was that if I didn’t tell my story, didn’t speak out loud and learn how to use my voice, that I was gonna die.

That I would slowly kill myself. That’s just a very real truth for me. I began to write songs as they hit me. As a necessary extension of processing the huge emotions I was feeling.”

Clifford will be used that voice a lot in April.

She joined Melissa Hembree, Susan Herndon, Lauren Lee, Shawna Russell and Monica Taylor at The Blue Door to raise funds for the annual Woody Guthrie Folk Festival. On April 13-14, Clifford returned to record a new live album. This marked the first new music Clifford has recorded since becoming a mother five years ago. If you missed out, catch her at Woody Fest this summer.

Clifford recently found herself surrounded by thousands of Oklahomans. She’s not the activist type, but she felt compelled to march at the Oklahoma Capitol in January and to have her voice heard at the Women’s March, even if she felt uneasy. “I was trepidatious,” Clifford said. “I didn’t know what to expect. My friend and I hooked arms and when the march actually started, we just started singing ‘This Land Is Your Land.’ ... It felt like Woody was there.”

Clifford is not only a fan of the folk troubadour but also of the spirit of his festival, which turns 20 this summer. Woody Fest takes place July 12-19 in Okemah, and Clifford performs at the festival as often as she can. Clifford said she jumped at the opportunity to join the Women of Woody Fest fundraiser lineup.

Recently, Woody Fest organizers took to the digital crowdsourcing website GoFundMe looking for help. They shared this message: “The last several years have been a challenge financially as the costs of travel and lodging have increased.

K.C. Clifford When: Runs July 12-16 Where: Throughout Okemah Tickets: www.woodyfest.com, $40-$75 for wristband passes

In 2015 we were forced to charge an admission fee for the first time. We are still struggling to stay afloat.”

“That’s a worthy cause to me. Sustaining a festival that’s meant so much to me. I’ll give a night. Susan (Herndon) was apologizing in her emails, ‘Sorry y’all aren’t getting paid.’ I’m not.

I’m not sorry. Let’s make the festival some money. ... I think Woody’s message is a needed thing in this time. Now more than ever.”

SAME VENUE, NEW ALBUM Clifford said it’s humbling to hear venue owner Greg Johnson say, “I take great pleasure in welcoming back to the Blue Door, K.C. Clifford.”

She cut her live album “Pockets Full of Hope” at the listening room almost a decade ago, and came back for another round of stories and songs. The back-to-back evening of shows included Clifford’s husband and guitarist David Broyles (Dr. Pants), keyboardist Dan Walker (John Fullbright, Ann Wilson of Heart) and recording engineer Dustin Ragland (Young Weather).

Clifford said it’s gift to walk onstage.

“I don’t take lightly that those people got a baby sitter, paid and they’re sitting there giving me their attention,” Clifford said. “That’s a generosity that blows me away every time I take the stage.”

The beauty is in the exchange of stories in her songs and the moments in between tracks. Clifford sarcastically said she can’t believe people come back to hear her crazy stories and then bring friends with them. She called herself a fish out of water and is hopeful that people can relate to the awkward, uncomfortable moments she’ll discuss openly.

“If I do my job right then people leave with a light burning inside that wasn’t there before, believing their life has a purpose. ... That they matter,” Clifford said. “That they’re seen. Is there any other work? A different kind of work?

Because I don’t know it if there is.”

Petty always has had a mellow way about him, his speaking voice never really registering above that of Matthew McConaughey in “Dazed and Confused,” but the first thing he did on April 20 was tell the crowd how he and the

Heartbreakers could barely wait backstage to get up there and officially start the tour.

“We’ve got a lot of songs to play tonight,” Petty told the energized crowd. “Hopefully, we’ll get to all of them.”

CONCERT REVIEW

40TH CONTINUED FROM 9 As a longtime fan of Petty, I have to say, they did just that. After the set, I was having trouble thinking of a hit they didn’t play (of course, there were a few). I admit I was a little surprised how well his voice has held up after all these years. He sounded amazing. And so did the Heartbreakers. Most of their classics sounded much like their studio recordings, with a couple exceptions: a somewhat acoustic version of “Learning to Fly” that was sans drums, and an intense rendition of “It’s Good to be King.”

At one point, Petty appeared to almost stumble by a large chest placed near the front of the stage, acting as if he had just noticed the brown trunk for the first time. Stopping, in a seemingly bewildered manner, Petty reached down and slowly opened the chest. Bright light poured out, and Petty reached in and removed a top hat. Of course, those of us in the crowd who remember that trippy music video for “Don’t Come Around Here No More,” in which Petty played the Mad Hatter in an homage to “Alice in Wonderland,” jumped out of our seats. The whole arena was again on its feet as the band played the catchy 1980s tune.

40TH CONTINUED FROM 11 It was just one of many opportunities Petty found to engage the crowd. There were several moments were he invited us to sing along, even going silent as he gave us the mic during some of our favorite lyrical hooks a couple times. This has long been a staple of Petty’s live shows and a testament to the personal impact of his music. Opener Joe Walsh had a similar effect on the crowd as he tore through all of his classics. While Joe’s voice has gotten a little gravely recently, he did not disappoint.

Petty played for close to two hours, returning for an encore, as you would expect from such a seasoned performer. He didn’t say a whole lot outside of his songs, but it was obvious he was having just as much fun as the audience. He often would turn to the crowd, and sometimes his band, with his arms wide open, grinning with obvious joy.

Petty and the Heartbreakers will be on tour until August, but as he told “Rolling Stone” in December, this might be the band’s last U.S. tour.

“It’s very likely we’ll keep playing, but will we take on 50 shows in one tour? I don’t think so,” Petty told Andy Greene, of “Rolling Stone.” “I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was thinking this might be the last big one. We’re all on the backside of our 60s. I have a granddaughter now I’d like to see as much as I can. I don’t want to spend my life on the road. This tour will take me away for four months.

With a little kid, that’s a lot of time.”

Although, he also told the magazine he would consider touring for his masterpiece 1994 solo album, “Wildflowers.”

Until then.

Flaming Lips, ‘Blues Clues’ collide on nearly decade-old collaboration

ear can resemble a toilet bowl.

That’s something you shed after growing up but returns in parenthood.

The Flaming Lips multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd and kid’s entertainer Steve Burns (“Blues Clues”) found themselves revisiting the experience during a songwriting session when potty training became a struggle for Drozd’s youngest son.

Burns had an idea. He wanted to write a pooping advertisement, complete with a poo haiku.

Tucked away in the back of Drozd’s Grammywinning brain lived a working idea inspired by an orange juice jingle. Drozd had recorded it back in 2003 and filed it away.

“I played (Steve) the track, and he’s like, ‘Holy s---, This is it,’ ” Drozd told LOOKatOKC. “It’s a commercial reaching out to kids about not being afraid to poop and I said, ‘OK Toliet Bowl Song.’ ” That’s a peek into the fluid writing process for STEVENSTEVEN, a collaboration between two like-minded entertainers looking to make familyfriendly music that won’t drive you nuts. Think Pixar for your ears.

DUO CONTINUED FROM 13 STEVENSTEVEN tackles bullying, fact finding and what it’s like to be a lonely unicorn in a three-part rock opera. Picture the sounds of Black Sabbath and KISS if they got blended together with “The Electric Company” and vintage “Sesame Street” skits.

“Soda pop commercials from the mid-’70s and all those things from my childhood, I’m trying to get back to ’em,” Drozd said. “... I’m always trying to go back and get something from then and bring that into my life and into the music I’m making now. ... I can say we thought we had something special, and we should pursue that.”

The results are an LP called “Foreverywhere.” The Oklahoma-recorded, self-released effort from STEVENSTEVEN landed Feb. 24 after years in limbo. How long? They first surfaced via a now defunct Myspace page.

The duo celebrated “Foreverywhere” at New York City’s Brooklyn Bowl in February with an album release concert that doubled as a debut of their live show.

So, how on Earth did the former host of “Blues Clues” combine efforts with a longtime Flaming Lips member? What took them so long to release a record? And most importantly, how’s the music hold up after all these years?

STEVE BURNS ALIVE Burns’ mom called in tears because she heard a rumor that he’d died. That’s just one of the many stories that circulated after he exited Nickelodeon’s “Blues Clues” at the height of its popularity.

He cited his receding hairline as motivation for the 2002 exit, and he knew he didn’t want to host children’s show his whole life. Burns would again find success as a commercial voice-over actor, but during his time on “Blues Clues” he garnered a following among kids, parents and even teenagers who watched the show as a lark. You don’t need me to paint the picture of a smoky dorm room to explain why college students got a kick out of watching Steve converse with a talking mailbox and a mystery-solving blue dog

every day. Simply put, the show’s popularity crossed generations.

Drozd started noticing a similar pattern with Flaming Lips fans.

“I think there’s a lot of our newest fans that weren’t even born when the band started, and those records from the ’90s don’t mean anything to them,” Drozd said. “It might get to them eventually, but I think it’s cool to look out in the audience and see people in their 60s. We were in Milan just this last tour, and I saw this 12- or 15-year-old boy lip syncing all the words to ‘There Should Be Unicorns.’

“The music just came out recently, and I could tell he was with his parents. They were into it, and he was into it. I’m like, ‘Man, you gotta couple generations there.’ ” Burns and Drozd make sense as a pair if you think about their overlapping tastes in

music, too. Burns is a friend and dedicated Lips fan. Drozd has been the backbone for The Flaming Lips since he joined in 1991. It wasn’t until recently that he’s been able to break away for more free time with his family and to pursue STEVENSTEVEN. “If (Flaming Lips) kept up the pace we had like in say 2011, ... I think something really bad would have happened,” Drozd said. “I think I would’ve had a nervous breakdown, or I would’ve quit or something. There was just so much touring, and it was just a nonstop barrage.”

In between international tours and relentless recording, Drozd had trouble securing a home for “Foreverywhere.” Momentum factors into the equation. It’d be nearly SEE DUO, 16

DUO CONTINUED FROM 14 impossible for Drozd to tour heavily behind the kid’s record with Flaming Lips duties.

Also, the songs are far from new, and it’s a tricky album to categorize. It shifts gears from potty training to an epic closing track that’s about as long as a “SpongeBob SquarePants” segment.

“The record companies say, ‘Well, it’s too standard rock ’n’ roll for it to be just for my kids, or it’s too goofy for me to want to listen to it on my own,’ ” Drozd said.

‘EASY FOR US’ But lighthearted songs about giraffes, insects, giant pink robots and unicorns litter The Flaming Lips’ discography. That’s what caught Burns’ attention in the first place.

In late 2001, Drozd was living in Fredonia, New York, and met Burns shortly before leaving his show. Burns especially loved the Lips’ 1999 record “The Soft Bulletin” and wanted to collaborate. The duo met at Tarbox Road Studios and started working on the record “Songs for Dustmites.”

“He spent two weeks there,” Drozd said. “(Recording engineer) Dave Fridmann was recording another band downstairs while I produced the demos with Steve upstairs in a smaller studio. Michael Ivins helped us. Wayne Coyne

was back in Oklahoma. We just hit it off, and we kind of made a note to get together and do more stuff sometime.”

The duo would reconvene in 2006. Over a bottle of red wine, the Steves wrote a Groundhog’s Day song in a couple of hours.

STEVENSTEVEN recorded it in Bell Labs studio in Norman. Studio owner Trent Bell is a constant Lips fixture. Drozd praised his laidback demeanor and noted the drum sound on “Foreverywhere” as some of the best he’s ever recorded.

“It was easy for us because we like doing it so much,” Drozd said. “If you really love doing it, even if it’s hard work, it doesn’t feel like hard work because you love doing it, and that’s definitely where we were with all that stuff. I think if we had to make a whole other record, which we might do someday. I don’t

know if we’ll have that same experience. We might have more moments of agonizing over what do we do now. We had basically none of those moments in all the sessions we had for ‘Foreverywhere.’ ” By 2010, STEVENSTEVEN recorded a couple more sessions alongside Bell and knocked out 11 songs about space rocks, triumphant spiders and drumming giants. Barring a few music videos released over the years, “Foreverywhere” lived in purgatory until this month.

Regardless of age, the album’s strength lives in its sincerity. Burns retains the knack for speaking to a younger crowd without sounding condescending. Drozd frees ideas that might not have made sense on a Lips record.

I can tell the duo take the project seriously.

“Nothing was flippantly gone over,” Drozd said.

“Every lyric he wrote, like on ‘Mimic Octopus,’ he’s really bummed out because he said linguistically speaking the phrase ‘You can’t eat what you can’t see’ is actually not correct because he wants the song to be educational. ... He wishes he could go back and rewrite it. That’s how much he cares about what he’s singing.”

The pair are doing everything in their power to give their attention to the project. STEVENSTEVEN is even working on a way where Burns can perform solo with backing videos of Drozd.

“We’ve just been in each other’s lives since 2001. It’s been a long time coming,” Drozd said. “I just hope that people are excited by it.”

Tower Theatre’s new operators discuss path to reopening, reveal concert series

BY NATHAN POPPE LOOKatOKC Editor Tower Theatre’s doors are closed again but not sealed shut.

Three new operators stepped forward in April and announced fresh plans for the Oklahoma City venue, which stands tall and shines brightly in the highly trafficked Uptown 23rd District.

Stephen Tyler, Chad Whitehead and Jabee Williams are the new faces of the Tower Theatre and will collaborate with Pivot Project members on reopening the historic metro-area landmark. Former Tower operator Levelland Productions’ 15-year lease on the venue was drawn a year ago, but the first shows weren’t booked until February. The split between Levelland and Pivot Project was revealed on March 25.

The new operators had a lot to say about the radical reorganization at 425 NW 23.

“I completely believe in what is happening in this neighborhood and what it can become,” Whitehead told LOOKatOKC. “The Tower really becomes the focal piece if it’s running properly with events two or three nights a week, and it’ll take some time to ramp up to that.

“We think that it can be a huge piece of the neighborhood becoming even more of the entertainment district of Oklahoma City than it already is with restaurants and bars.”

Although marquee events inside of the Tower Theatre’s large concert hall won’t be happening until closer to this fall, Tyler and Whitehead shared plans for a new Tower Theatre Studio Concert Series. The listening room-style performances feature national touring acts Robert Ellis, David Ramirez, Matthew Logan Vasquez, Propaganda, and Murs and Trishes, along with Okie artists Travis Linville and Beau Jennings.

TOWER COMPLEX Concerts begin May 5 and run weekly through June 29.

“The vision I’d always had (for my office) was hosting intimate, small concerts in there,” Tyler said. “As we started undergoing this project, we didn’t want to wait to bring talent and expose people to the building. So, it made sense to push that forward and outfit the room even further to accommodate the concert series.”

Each concert will feature an interview portion led by Okie talent before a set. Tickets are $20 for each performance and can be found at www.towertheatreokc.com. Most of the shows have already sold out but you might have luck grabbing a ticket for Trishes and Beau Jennings.

LOOKATOKC.COM

“Our goal is to start that introduction of the city to us, how we operate and the taste level of the artists we reach out to,” Tyler added.

Although the shows won’t be in the Tower Theatre’s concert hall, they will be the first scheduled since Horse Thief’s and Jabee’s headlining sets earlier this year. There’s a lot of work to be done before another grand reopening after further renovations. Think of the studio concert series as an appetizer. It’s a taste of the much bigger events getting planned for the not too distant future, operators said.

Tyler and Whitehead sat down with LOOKatOKC to discuss their vision and what it’ll take to move the fickle, complex venue forward.

Back to the start A few years ago, Tyler and Whitehead remembered they weren’t Uptown 23rd’s biggest fans. Sure, they knew Oklahoma City was growing and there were some nearby beacons of food culture, including Big Truck Tacos and Cuppies & Joe, but they largely avoided the area until more recently.

Tyler now offices in the Tower Theatre and jumped at the opportunity to work there. He called himself the building’s first active tenant and transformed an empty white room into a cozy production studio, complete with original artwork and sound panels.

“I think that really goes to show the potential of where (the district) can go,” Tyler said.

“In two years, (Uptown) went from you don’t wanna be here after dark to the only place you want to go after dark because of the night life. Imagine what’s going to happen in two more years. Or five years. ... I think (Tower Theatre) will propel the district into a place that I’m excited to see.”

Tyler has always been a tech enthusiast. He’s the guy you call when you buy a 100-foot Ferris wheel and need someone to handle the lighting design. He’s also the sam me person who’s readily available to project an enormous Woody Guthrie illustration onto o the Oklahoma Capitol.

“I’ve been a tenant here almost a year,” Tyler said in his Tower studio office.

“I’ve gotten to know the Pivot Project guys really well. When I started to hear what was going on, that’s when I started to go to them and say, ‘Man, (Tower) really should be doing this. This is really the direction it should be going.’ “ Tyler’s ideas turned into conversations with Whitehead. When Levelland Productions officially exited operations of the Tower Theatre in March, the duo o sat down and made a 40-plus page manual of how they’d operate the venue. Both operators presented to Pivot Project, which includes David Wanzer, Ben Sellerss and Jonathan Dodson.

“When we put it in front of the Pivot Project guys, they said ‘You literally read d our minds.’ ... They came out of the previous arrangement with this desire, ‘We can n’t sit by anymore. We can’t stand on the sidelines and just lease it to someone and hope h that person goes where we want it to go. ... You guys seem to have that same iidea and vision so let’s all get together and make sure this thing goes where it’s supposeed to go.’ ” The new operators are looking to book movie screenings, comedy performan nces, concerts and even podcast recordings to the mix.

“Pivot Project’s vision for this space, we found out pretty quickly, was what everybody e wants it to be,” Tyler said. “Everybody wants it to be a hub, whether that’s livee music, local events ... or whether it’s honoring the history of this place, which is film.”

The building’s historic run as a film house also presents a major renovation challenge.

“It was never set up for live music,” Tyler said. “The stage is only a stage in tthe sense that it’s a platform where the projector screen was or where the sound might’vve been.

When it comes to live music, you need a backstage, green room other support systems in place that just didn’t exist.”

defunct venue in Salt Lake City.

“I want the person taking the ticket at the Tower Theatre to have as much fun as our guest, who has as much fun as the artist,” Whitehead said. “The city wins when everyone has a great night. I think that, more than anything else, is what unifies Stephen and me. I don’t care if you’re a rock star. Your weight is equal to our guest’s and to mine. I wanna find a mutually agreeable event that everyone walks away from and says, ‘I can’t wait to do that again. That was so much fun.’

“And that’s what we’ve been unified about from the very beginning.”

Rapper and Oklahoma fixture Jabee Williams also joins the mix of new operators.

“I love this city and music, too. So when Pivot approached me about joining the Tower team, I had to join in,” Jabee shared in a statement. “The community needs the Tower to be successful, and I’m excited for the chance to play my part.”

Whitehead said nobody represents Oklahoma City as intensely as Jabee.

“We needed his credibility as a citizen and as an artist to be a part of the Tower Theatre,” Whitehead added.

Together, the trio and the Pivot Project are looking to make new history with the venue.

“We feel a great pressure because this is a historic theater,” Whitehead said. “She deserves to be treated with grandeur. We feel a great pressure because we love this city and this neighborhood is where we live. We feel a great pressure because we love music.”

Better together Tyler first met Whitehead digitally. Via Twitter, they realized they’d attended the same events together but never formally met until about a year ago.

Tyler has the audio and technological experience but wanted to include another passionate helping hand. Whitehead has experience promoting concerts and running a now

“Chinese food was really popular in the part of Guadalajara where we lived, and I saw a lot of fusion cooking there,” Reardon said. “Then my dad got a job at USC, and growing up in Southern California you’re exposed to so many cultures and foods.”

Gerry and Jen met while working at a restaurant on the Pacific Coast Highway.

They became Sooners before ever moving here when Jennifer’s brother, Kenny Gajewski, signed with the University of Oklahoma baseball team. Gajewski pitched for Larry Cochell’s 1994 College World Series champions. Today he serves as softball coach for Oklahoma State University.

“After we had our daughter, we decided we wanted to have our family closer together,” Jennifer Reardon said. “We’d visited Norman many times for football and baseball games, and my mom was almost ready to retire.”

HALL ABOARD

A blighted former service station in Midtown is being redeveloped into what will be a food hall. [RENDERING PROVIDED]

Midtown to get OKC’s first food hall in vintage building

BY STEVE LACKMEYER For LOOKatOKC

O

klahoma City is set to get its first food hall as developers prepare to convert a once dilapidated service station in Midtown into what will be called “The Commissary.”

The service station at 308 NW 10, built in 1923, was filled with junk with inoperable cars parked outside until the building was purchased in December for $1.2 million by Northline Development.

Vincent Le, a partner in Northline Development, said he was weighing deals with a couple of different restaurant operators when he was approached with a food hall concept pitched by Troung Le (no relation), owner of Chick-n-Beer in Uptown 23rd.

The food hall operates like a food court at a mall, with nine kitchens to be set up for nine restaurants that will operate in the historic building.

LOOKATOKC.COM

Renovations are well underway at 308 NW 10, where junk that accumulated on the property for 20 years has been cleared away and windows and clear garage doors are being added to convert the building into a food hall that will be called “The Commissary.” [PHOTO BY NATE BILLINGS] “It’s like Avanti in Denver,” Vincent Le said. “That’s what the idea is. It’s a communal space with a lot of different restaurants. It’s a gathering spot with a lot of different options. Rather than going to Fassler Hall with one type of food, it’s like Bleu Garten. One person might want something healthy, another might want something fried. With

this you can go to the same place.”

Northline partner Kayla Baker said redevelopment of the building should be completed later this year. The project, she added, has not been cheap or easy.

The former service station, garage and car dealership consists of three adjoining buildings, the oldest of which was built in 1923. Tenants included a

Harley-Davidson motorcycle dealership from 1932 to 1942, and in later years a tire shop.

The property turned into a virtual junkyard, and windows damaged by the 1995 bombing remained boarded up over the last two decades. The former owner of the property, Ahmad Bahrereini, was cited more than a half-dozen times for leaving inoperable vehicles in the property's front lot.

“The exterior has been repainted and a lot of the windows have been put in,” Baker said. “The garage doors just went in. We’re about to rip the roof off and start redoing the concrete floors inside.”

Baker admits the only part of the building being saved are the walls.

“At the end of the day, it might have been easier to scrap it,” Baker said.

“But we love the character of the building. And it’s been here. We wanted to keep it. And the tax credits made it feasible to keep the buildings and to make the project work.”

RAINWORKS

WATER WORKS Rain brings out sidewalk poems downtown

BY JACK MONEY For LOOKatOKC

P

eople walking downtown Oklahoma City’s sidewalks recently might have noticed a little sunshine in the rain.

The welcome moisture unlocked more than two dozen “Make it Rain Poems” installed on sidewalks at various locations throughout downtown and its surrounding neighborhoods.

These messages can be seen only when the pavement they are on is wet. They are applied with a product called Rainworks, which is a superhydrophobic coating that repels water and keeps whatever surface it coats dry.

During dry weather, nothing can be seen, as the coating is clear and has no odor or unusual texture. But, when it rains or when the sidewalk is sprayed with water, the poems appear.

While similar coatings have been around for a while, its use in this fashion is a relatively recent development.

Seattle’s Peregrine Church began working with it in 2013 when he realized its application to concrete surfaces could bring out hidden images, as concrete becomes darker when it’s wet.

A local organization called the Awesome Foundation awarded Church a $1,000 grant to begin experimenting, and, with the help of a Belgian manufacturer, he developed a coating that is completely invisible when it is applied to dry concrete.

From there, Church and a friend began decorating the streets of Seattle with rainy day art, and the concept began to spread to other communities across the country, eventually catching the attention of Downtown Oklahoma City Inc., a not-for-profit organization created in 2000 to manage and market downtown and its surrounding neighborhoods.

A similar project in another community’s downtown area prompted the local organization to begin exploring whether it could be done here, and led it to apply for a creative place-making grant from the International Downtown Association and Springboard for the Arts.

Earlier this year, Downtown Oklahoma City

Inc. received a $5,000 grant for the project, and it turned to a couple of local poets for help.

Timothy Bradford and Chad Reynolds created Short Order Poems in 2014 as a performance group that writes poems on demand in public spaces, working both with local and national poets.

Bradford said he and Reynolds have always sought to interact with the public using poetry in a dynamic way, adding they loved this concept because it provides a new way to bring the art of poetry to the public.

For these Make it Rain Poems, Bradford said Short Order Poems offered poets it’s worked with before an opportunity to write verse about various topics that were gathered through public solicitations.

Of the 20 poets asked to submit works, 16 did so, and Short Order Poems worked with Downtown Oklahoma City Inc. to select which ones to use and where to place them, Bradford said.

Then, Bradford reached out to S&S Promotions of Oklahoma City to ask if it might be able to cut stencils of the poems it needed to use as part of the process to apply the coating.

Bradford said the firm’s CEO, Stephen Saak obliged, providing stencils for 27 poems at no cost. “Some of those poems are pretty long,” Bradford said. “Without S&S’s help, I am not sure that we wouldn’t still be cutting stencils. That was huge.”

Bradford said he and Reynolds began installing the poems a couple of weeks ago, and, with the help of other Downtown Oklahoma City Inc. volunteers, were able to get 26 out of 27 planned locations finished before recent rains.

The work to install them was laborious, he added.

“The stencils are big, and the wind is blowing, and you have got to sweep the sidewalk, and get the stencil down, and get bricks on it to hold it down. ... We were averaging about two stencils an hour,” Bradford said.

The final one will be installed soon. Downtown Oklahoma City Inc. expects that a typical installation will last about six to eight weeks.

Danielle Dodson, marketing manager for Downtown Oklahoma City Inc., said the organization was pleased by the public’s reaction to seeing the poems for the first time.

Dodson said the group’s goal with the project was to encourage people to continue to use outdoor public spaces in the district, even if the weather might be a little wet, as the grant’s purpose was to empower the organization to work with local artists to create “more vibrant and engaging local business districts.”

“We were looking for a way to bring life to an area that might not usually get traffic,” Dodson said. “When it rains, we kind of gravitate toward inside. This is a way to maybe get people out and maybe change their path on a rainy day and have a little unexpected art on the way.”

The poem “The Biggest Small Town,”

by Kathleen Rooney, is seen at Leadership Square in Oklahoma City. The poem can only be seen when the space is wet.
