Anyone who says there's nothing to do in Tulsa has obviously never lifted a finger from the living room couch during a weekend in October.
If there's not a pumpkin patch and hayride nearby, there's the dozens of one-of-a-kind activities waiting at the Tulsa State Fair. If there's not a 10K to challenge you, there's a fall festival waiting to take the endurance of your appetite for fried cuisine to task.
In other words, don't dare utter that you're bored, else someone might smack you upside the head and then, mostly out of disbelief, take you out on the town and show you not only the error of your ways, but also a jolly good time.
To help you navigate the vast sea of things to do in and around Tulsa this weekend, I present to you, as heard every Friday morning on the KRMG Morning News with Joe Kelley, the latest edition of the TDT Weekend Rundown.

Feel free to gorge on the spaghetti-shaped ice cream, kettle korn on a stick and deep-fried bananas - after all, what's the Tulsa State Fair without it's acrobatic foodstuffs?Just promise not to puke on your kids when they whine and cry and beg you to ride the Himalaya with them and then march them up the street to Sears for new outfits and hair washings in the bathroom sink. Because I have no idea who would do such a thing. Weekend admission for adults this year is up to $10, with ticket costs for kids aged 5-12 at $6.

Music
Dave Matthews Band with Willie Nelson
When: Friday, 7pm; doors at 5:30
Where: BOK Center
Ah, Dave Matthews Band - the makers of the soundtrack of my life during those high school and college years. I'm sure I'm not the only one who hears the words, "so much to say," and, without thinking, hits the trail to Gypsy Coffee House in hopes of finding a way to rebel someplace between here and there. After Willie (Willie!) plays his bit and Dave busts out the incredible vocals of Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King, don't forget to post the set list on your blog. Because I'll need to see it to survive. Tickets are still available, and they're $65.

Theater and Art
First Friday Art Crawl
When: Friday, 6-11pm
Where: Brady District in downtown Tulsa
Think you've got what it takes to crawl from Gypsy Coffee House to Wallace Engineering, Brady Artists' Studio, CFC Chocolatier, Tulsa Glass Blowing Studio, Tulsa Artists' Coalition, Chrysalis Salon and then (whew!) to Lola's? My bet is that you do, especially if it means unwinding at Club 209 afterward. The event is free, unless you don't yet own a good pair of walking shoes.
The Spontaniacs!

Boo! And I mean that in a good way.
Opening Weekend of Nightmare XVII

Where: Guts Church, off the BA between Memorial and Mingo
Scary indeed, especially if you're not warned beforehand about the "little chat" at the end. Tickets are $8, or $15 for an express pass. While the Guts folks say it's cool for kids, I wouldn't recommend it for any child who wasn't old enough to be mortally embarrassed by a parental unit's request that he take his lunch to school in a brown paper bag.

Am I wrong, or is the Indie Emporium just next weekend? I went to the website and it just shows the 9th and 10th.
Lanna, you're absolutely right. Sorry about that. It's all better now. Thanks a ton for pointing it out - I would have totally shown up at the VFW on Saturday and looked like a dorkus aurelius. You saved me!
Phew - I know a ton of people volunteering (hopefully including myself) and we'd have all been in a panic! Thanks!
I'm exhausted just reading about everything going on in Tulsa this weekend!
Went to the fair last night for Ford Family Fun night - toured the fun house, rode bumper cars, ate raspberry popcorn, had a blast!
Thanks for the tips on the Nightingale Theater front, btw!
P.S. How's your standing in the Makeover War?
1. Thanks for the corn maze listing!
2. I cry to miss the Decemberists. I can't go but would URGE everyone and anyone they can drag along to see this concert. For emphasis: http://blogtimistic.blogspot.com/2007/05/untitled-146.html
