Rockin' the Fest. Keepin' it real in Tulsa since 1996, Admiral Twin is a local music scene staple that's been around longer than most of the bars and clubs it frequents.

Come for the art, beer, and fried pickles, stay for a rockin' good time with Admiral Twin as it play tracks from its newest album Center of the Universe.

O' Brother, Red Art Thou? Here in the states, it is not unusual to see families divided along Democrat and Republican lines. In My Brother Is an Only Child, playing tonight at the Circle Cinema, 10 S. Lewis, the familial differences along political lines span to the wingtips of the left and the right. Set in the 60s and 70s in Italy, two brothers, one a communist, one a fascist, must deal with their differences during this particularly turbulent time in Italy's history. If that isn't complicated enough, one brother is in love with the other's girlfriend. Aren't you glad the political system in the U.S. is so calm and easy going?

It's Been Brought. We don't get a lot of big break dancing events in Tulsa. Fans of this urban phenomenon may rejoice.

The Rock Steady crew has been break dancin' around the world since the early 80s and are coming to town with the help of Tulsa's own Soul Style Krew. Check out both crews tonight and they burn up the dance floor and remind Tulsans that it's okay to hip and hop from time to time. Want more information? Call 587-7584 and let them break it down for ya.

The Pen Is Mightier. A student discovers a notebook and decides to hang on to it. Innocent enough, right? Wrong. From the popular manga and anime series, Death Note, Cinemark Tulsa, 10802 E 71ST, tells the story of a notebook with the power to kill someone by simply writing down a name in its pages. It's kind of a cool concept when you think about it. Is a murderer on the loose? Just write down his name. No problem right? Well like all things, there is a catch.
