Stillwater Scene is, in my opinion, Stillwater’s best publication for local event info. It’s definitely lacking in news value and quality, but within the pages of one circular, a person can find a schedule of basically all the bands playing on any given day during the month and at which venues they are playing, AND what drink specials can be found at various hangouts.

This weekend I went to the Festival of Discorus at the Zoo Amphitheatre in Oklahoma City. Bands who played were Dropping Daylight, Halestorm, Evans Blue, Crossfade, Breaking Benjamin, Shinedown, and Seether. I haven’t been to an actual big-name concert in a while (I used to go to them all the time), and the last time I went to the Zoo Amphitheatre was in 2001, to see Korn at Kattfest.

There was also a car show, a bike show and over 30 artists, including tattooists, piercers and other body artists, on location. There were also a appearances by renowned artists Kat von D from the TLC channel’s show “Miami Ink” and Enigma.
