A Girl's Weekend In Tulsa To See Big Gigantic

I was at work texting my friend Jordan when she was reminiscing of the time she lived in Tulsa before she had her baby and moved back to Yukon. She described Tulsa as having an entirely different vibe from Oklahoma City and that she regrets accepting a raise and moving down to Dallas. The last time I was in Tulsa was for a 30 Seconds to Mars concert and it was in the middle of a freezing winter at night, so I didn't get to do much sight-seeing. She immediately jumped on the idea of taking a girl's trip down to Tulsa for the weekend and I was already amped for it since it was pay day.

I haven't had a girl's night in YEARS. Most of my friends have been busy starting the next chapter in their lives such as grad school, marriage or having babies. Also, since i'm not single anymore, I don't go out as often as I did to get silly drunk. Luckily, Jordan's husband offered to watch the babe as we made plans to catch a Big Gigantic concert at Cain's Ballroom during our stay downtown. I haven't heard of them up until now so I was anticipating a really ridiculous time.

Jordan's friend Carly joined us on our trip, she met Jordan when she was also living in Tulsa at the time. The drive was beautiful as the trees changed colors the closer we got to town. It was my first time seeing a concert at Cain's and we made it right on time for the main gig. Despite being 3 beers and four shots of tequila in, we had a blast. (I was loving the bouncy floors the venue had) and Big Gigantic put on one of the best shows I have ever been to. We didn't stay long and barhopped the rest of the morning before calling it a night back at the hotel.

It makes me laugh to put in perspective how much older we're getting because of how conservative we were dressed compared to the crowd and the fact Jordan had to pump her breasts before and after the night so she wouldn't lactate all over the place. (That pump actually lulled me to sleep..) We woke up early Saturday morning and grabbed brunch at Brookside By Day after some light shopping. Jordan showed me where her old house was and I LOVED this little area by Tulsa. It was really as if I traveled to a smaller town in Colorado. My favorite part was how close everything was and people were out and about walking.

Pardon the shitty phone quality

I took more photos on my disposable camera because I was too busy having a good time to pull out my phone. We will definitely be back for a longer stay next time, especially when I'll have the time and money. It was such a successful trip with the three of us, I think we all needed that girls night.
