You know them. You’ve sat near them at something. The WAFTI Show boys are everywhere. Dead Center Film Festival, The Wheeler Wheel, ACM@UCO, The Paseo Amphitheater, 48-hour Film Festival, Pump Bar. If it’s moving in OKC, the WAFTI Boys are there, probably recording, documenting and celebrating the action. Stephen Tyler, along with twin brothers John and Aaron Souders, are passionate about the progress in OKC.

We haven’t hung out at Guyutes since it opened until this last Wednesday. We showed up around 8 pm with friends to grab a midweek drink and were blown away by how settled-in it felt. There was art on the wall and more tables and the place was hopping on a Wednesday! We didn’t grab food, but they did have a really fun pub-trivia based on Family Feud so anyone could play along (disclosure: we won!).
