Labor Day is just a week away, which means summer is winding down. It's somewhat of a slow week in terms of things going on, but it's certainly not dead.

Festival season is fast approaching, so in the next few weeks, check here for all the details on some of the most popular festivals in Tulsa, including Greek Fest, Shalomfest and the Rock n Rib Festival.

Until then, here are the happenings everyone is going to be talking about this week:

Coming off of two straight wins, the Tulsa Shock is ready to do it again. Basketball fans went crazy after the surprise win Sunday, so expect to see loyal fans and first-timers at the game Tuesday vs. Phoenix.

Tulsa Reads continues digging in to the works of Anna Quindlen with a novel talk on "One True Thing." The book, which was turned into a movie starring Meryl Streep and Renee Zellweger, delves into the complex bonds of family. Discussing the book will be moderator Teresa Miller, executive director of the Oklahoma Center for Poets and Writers, and panelists Claudia Arthrell, Marguerite Chapman and Kelley Scott.

I like Anna Quindlen-is that like a book club where they discuss different books each time they meet?

Fat Guy's has great fries and lots of different ketchups. Drillers games are fun and the ballpark is really cool-great view of downtown!

Not much for Marie, but my sister loves her and will probably go to the concert.

Wonder how many cracked windshields will be in the parking lot at Marie's concert. . .
