Finding Factory Obscura

By

In this adventure vlog recorded on July 25, 2018, I went on a scavenger hunt to find the hidden location of Factory Obscura. Before I do that, I had pizza from Hideaway Pizza at their brand new location along Western Avenue in Oklahoma City. I met up with Jennifer from CHAOS, a free play place, to discuss the meaning of the Factory Obscura location clues and then I ventured out to find it.

Spoiler: I found it!!! I held off on releasing this video to allow others the fun of finding the location, which the Factory Obscura team thanked me for doing until their contest was over. With the game now over, I’ve uploaded this video explaining how I found it.

I promise to add more drama and flair to the next scavenger hunt video. 😎

Speak Memory Live at the Tower Theatre

Speak, Memory – Live at Tower Theatre

Speak, Memory performs a live concert at the Tower Theatre as part of the COOP Showcase on July 19, 2018. The band describes their music as, “unusual or obtuse at first, but easy to warm up to. Contemplative, a little dreamy. Occasionally frantic. Basically, like us.”

The audio source comes directly from the soundboard hence why you don’t hear the audience. This was my first time recording a concert at the Tower Theatre and it was a last minute project, but it turned out good. I had no control over the audio mix. In the future, I’d like to have more cameras to switch between other than the two. The band was happy with how great the video turned out and that’s what’s important.

If you’re interested, be sure to check out the next COOP Showcase, which will feature Vonna Pearl, Swim Fan, and Jose Hernandez & The Black Magic Waters at the Tower Theatre on August 30th. For more information and tickets, click here.

CHAOS is a maker space that encourages adults and children to Free Play. Once signed-in you’ll get to choose from an array of recycled electronics to take apart or put back together; while sitting at the Explore Bar you can just tinker. There’s also an area for building stuff with recycled materials where you’ll be able to create whatever.

In addition to being able to create whatever, visitors can destroy whatever in CHAOS’ outdoor area.

CHAOS is located in the Iron Works District next to Oklahoma City’s Midtown District.

There are several things that I personally love about CHAOS. The first is that they have adult only nights so couples can have a fun date night experience playing together at a unique place. Another is that you can destroy things too and that’s a new concept to the area. I’ve seen videos features places where you could break things, but they were in cities like LA, so it’s wonderful to see the concept locally.
