There are two people in this photo who were MIA last week. Word has it
they're on the beaches of California. We know because THEY EMAIL US
AFTER GETTING THEIR ALERT ON THEIR MOBILE PHONE & TELL US.
Oh yeah ... we're jealous.

Dear OKCMOA Roof Terrace Regulars

Please join us tonight or tomorrow night on the Roof! Our movie friends have given us a plethora of movie screening passes again including for the new Luke Wilson movie called "Henry Poole Is Here," which is screening August 13 at Quail Springs, and to see "The Rocker" starring Rainn Wilson (Dwight on The Office), which is screening August 19 at Quail Springs. Just to give you an idea of this film, the web site is www.IOnlyDrumNaked.com. Hahahah. They also gave us more Hamlet 2 items. Just ask Roof Terrace staff for your pass!

Lyric Theatre is presenting their final production this week at the Civic Center. After that, the our neighbhood venue gets almost completely dark. This gives them a chance to do maintenance work in time for the fall season. So in other words, we should have no parking issues for the rest of the month.

ART ON TAP, a beer tasting event, is Friday, October 3 and once again we will incorporate the roof terrace as a part of the festivities. Last year was the first year and it was a blast! If by chance you're interested, we are now seeking sponsors. Access to the sponsors' Red Velvet Rope section on the roof terrace beer garden is one of the many benefits. Sponsorship levels run from $250 to $1,500. If interested contact wcross@okcmoa.com or jeastep@okcmoa.com or call 278-8207. Thanks for your consideration.

Here's what's up tonight:

• Tonight's band is Bruce Benson.
• Tomorrow's band is Brian Gorrell & the Jazz Co.
• Band starts at 6:30pm
• Roof Terrace manager is Bryon Chambers. Lee, Dustin and Melissa will be working the bars.

About parking around the museum
It's Lyric Theatre's final production called, "Urine Town: The Musical," at the Civic Center. Parking should be just a little tight but do-able! (BTW: Museum staff went to see it and they thought it was too funny).
