This month is going to be crazy so you will have to be patient with me – Updates will be random.
Two weeks ago some of my closest friends came to visit me in Tulsa. I’ve said it once and I will say it a thousand times… I have the raddest friends of all time. On that Friday night we were about to hit the bars when they surprised me with a “theme” for the evening: We were all to dress as different Eras of Duane. (see photo above) Obviously they had planned this out ahead of time and they put a lot of effort into it. It was a very thoughtful idea.
From Right to Left, Matt was DJ Duane, Joel was a high school favorite Volleyball Duane, Tom was actually a future era of Duane – Tulsa Mayor Duane, I was actually Bun Huggers Duane (In the early college years I worked Bun Huggers Bar and Grill), and Parrott was Photographer Duane.
We went out to the bars in these incredible outfits.
There were rules too! You had to address everyone by their era appropriate Duane. (including introductions, which confused a lot of my Tulsa friends)
It was so much fun. Volleyball Duane (joel) had one of the best quotes of the weekend: “It’s like these people have never seen an upside down visor before…”

My friends are amazing. I’m not sure where I would be without them.
