Just finished seeing Stephen King speak at Cains. His sense of humor is right up my alley, dry and plenty of f bombs. He is a great speaker and totally laughs at himself. He did tell us a book he is finishing now is set in Tulsa. He said after writing Revival, which ends in Tulsa, he knew he had to write more about our city. So he is doing some research while he is here as well. Not the best pic but they asked us to only take some when he first came out and then put phones away.  |

Oh and our Mayor declared today Stephen King Day. Here he is being presented with his certificate. Lmao he said this it didn't matter, his wife would still make him plunge the toilet when he gets home.  |

Color me GREEN with envy! Love Stephen King. He was my hero as a kid and young adult and I still adore him. Plus I find him so damn witty and entertaining. I was so disappointed when he stopped writing his column for EW weekly.

That's exciting!
Right now I'm reading End of Watch (well, I'm listening on audio). I really liked Mr Mercedes and Finders Keepers, so I have high hopes. I'm about five hours in and so far so good. And Will Patton does an excellent job at narration.

And Will Patton does an excellent job at narration. Everyone that attended got a hardcover of End of Watch. A random selection of them were pre signed by SK. Mine wasn't one of them.  I haven't read the first two yet. Maybe after my class ends this month I'll have time. |

Polargreen, I hate to hijack your thread but your mention of Cain's brought back so many college memories of concerts I saw there, and they used to have roller skating to live music night, which was such fun! It used to be kind of a dump--have they revamped it to attract more upscale entertainment, like Stephen King? I haven't read Steven King in a long time but I would totally pick up a novel set in Tulsa.

How neat! The closest I've come to Stephen King is driving past his house on Casey Key, FL!  |

There are a lot of musicians that will only play at Cain's when they come to Tulsa. I love it's history! Plus with all the bars and restaurants in the Brady District and The Blue Dome, there's so much going on in downtown Tulsa now. Wish I could afford one of the lofts down there! |
