I've been procrastinating on checking this place out, now I'm much less excited. Niether of those artists seem to be particularly artistic, especially "bigfoot". He said alot of words, very few were coherant and the only thing that I learned from that interview is that his brain has been fried from smoking too much. I think I would have enjoyed both of their work more if I had never seen those interviews.

Negative Nancy, signing out.

[dankrutka]

Uh, yeah. That dude is friiieeeddd!

[Dustin]

I just really hope some dumb *** doesn't decide to ruin it with his/her own artwork...

[MadMonk]

Ah....diversity means lots of fringe interests. With The Womb we will see just how ready OKC is for artistic and cultural diversity.

[cdbthunder]

I agree and cant say I understood a word the guy said. On the bright side of things they did spruce up the outside of the old Mel's Towing space.

It would be so sweet if they got that marquee neon sign going again.

[betts]

I know they have plans for the sign, but I don't know precisely what. The building to the east was just painted pink too, and it's got a little bit of artwork on it.

[soonerguru]

Their spokesman is great in that vid. Wish I wasn't going to be in Big D. Seems like a great event.

Ha.... Wayne is Tweeting an all nude party this Saturday at the Womb. Wonder if the city will converge on it like the food trucks? I imagine hundreds of OCPD's finest will be volunteering to police this event.

While I don't like the exterior of the building, if I was younger and good looking, I'd be all in.


Tweet: Party this Saturday in the Womb Room inside the Womb! Must be nude to enter http://t.co/EsqYzQbp http://t.co/c7ON8Mpj http://t.co/4a4E4pkk

That is awesome!

Nope. Not gonna do it. I'm not going to walk in on this one. All I wanted when I stumbled into the H&8th market was a taco. This Saturday I will make a taco at home and not leave the house. Let some other reporter walk in on this one. Besides, I've seen enough photos of Wayne and his wife naked (beautiful morning in Barcelona on Twitter IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS!) that I know I don't want to see them naked in person. I will, however, forever enjoy his music and appreciate much of Michelle's art.

[Steve]

Second thought: what if we could get someone to convince Sally Kern she has to dine at the Iguana Saturday night?

[betts]

Haha! I texted my daughter, who lives in San Francisco, and told her I thought I'd fallen asleep and was dreaming I was in SFO when I read this. I'll leave the nudity to those with younger bodies, and I sincerely hope others do the same!

[Double Edge]

Wonderful! It's not art if only the barbie and ken dolls show up.

Also on his twitter account was this tweet:

Looks like I found my excuse to stop by!

I happen to think I am better looking than average, but not enough so that I could ever attend this. I get uncomfortable when strangers touch me, much less look at me marbles.

[BBatesokc]

Looks like the images were removed from the tweets. Looks like they erected (no pun intended) a gigantic ****** inside the building and, well, I guess you can imagine how you enter the party.

[Urban Pioneer]

I went. It was fun. Truely artistic in almost a continuous mosiac the the building. Great to see such imaginations at work in the hood.

[BBatesokc]

Was at a friend's office yesterday and took these photos of him getting the 1st of 13 limited edition skulls embedded with the Flaming Lips newly released 24-hour song. Not everyone's taste, but neither are The Flaming Lips in general. I kinda liked it though. I'd rather be made into an MP3 player than just left to rot in the ground.

[MDot]

That skull thing he was doing was just weird. But what could you expect from him.

[BBatesokc]

Saw where the Womb was shut down today by the fire marshal. Any details out there?

[betts]

Maybe all the Christmas lights! But seriously, the lighting on the Womb looks amazing at night, and even better at twilight when you can see the designs behind the lights.

Working on the story now....
