That's what we're all about on Fridays here at TashaDoesTulsa.com – giving you the power of social engineering through knowledge of all of the exciting, swanky, downhome, and straight-up weird things happening in this city before 8am Monday morning. The only bad news about subscribing to this blog is that you'll never again be able to loaf on the couch all weekend with a clear conscience.
It's a great weekend for football and the arts in Tulsa this weekend, folks – and you only thought those two things didn't go together. In case you slept through the audio version of the rundown of all that is this weekend's sports and theater productions and more on the KRMG Morning News with Joe Kelley (for shame!), scroll freely to avoid missing a single play.
Tasha's Picks for the Weekend of Oct. 16
Friday
Sleep With the Sharks
When: Friday, 6pm-Saturday
Where: Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks
Imagine falling asleep alongside a soothing Coral Reef, or waking up to a Bull Shark swimming right overhead - it can happen this very weekend in Jenks. Sleepovers at the Aquarium are a splash (tee hee!), complete with activities, dinner, breakfast, snacks, movies and maybe even a bit of shut-eye. Slumber under the sea with the whole family or, if you're aged 10-14, brave the high seas alone. Cost is $30, or $25 for members.
Saturday
Football. It's all about the football.
When: All day Saturday
Where: Dallas, Stillwater or your favorite pub
The Sooners will be taking on the Longhorns late Saturday morning while the Cowboys will be gearing up to win their homecoming game against Mizzou later that night. If you can't hit the trail to Dallas, at least catch the game on Channel 8 with the folks who didn't leave the night before for Walkaround in Stillwater. For my fellow Cowboys out there, don't miss the Sea of Orange parade starting at the corner of Main and 12th on Saturday at 2pm (as if you needed to be told). Be sure to wave at Garth Brooks – he'll be there as a grand marshal, along with Barry Sanders and Robin Ventura.
Sunday
Day of the Dead Skeleton-Making Workshop
When: Sunday, 1-4pm
Where: Living Arts of Tulsa, 307 E. Brady
Expand your fall holiday horizons beyond all the tired trick-or-treating and participate in this cultural festival – you know, the one we all learned about in Spanish class – in a hands-on way. Kids as well as adults are welcome to build and paint a papier-mache skeleton for the Day of the Dead Arts Festival, slated for Nov. 1. The cost is $20, and families are welcome to go splits on a skeleton. Participants are invited to take part in the skeleton parade and dance at the festival. Register by calling 585.1234.
For the Kids

The Fearless Honkah Hunters
When: Friday, 8pm; Saturday, 2pm and 8pm
Where: Tulsa Performing Arts Center, Liddy Doenges Theatre
Forget the Ghost Busters – this is a new generation, and Gen Z prefers local paranormal investigators. Honkah, an ancient Muscogean word, describes spooks, spirits, ghosts and monsters – anything, really, that is bone-chilling. Now that you know what the heck Honkah is, there's something mysterious happening in Indian Country that will take a team of Honkah Hunters to investigate. The EMF meter is on, the digital audio and video recorders are powered up and your funny bone is ready to be tickled in this family-friendly production. Tickets are $8.
Mamma's Book Club: Where the Wild Things Are
When: Saturday, 11:30am
Where: Joe Momma's Pizza Downtown
