Saturday the Sooners had a by week, so John took me out on a date Saturday night-- something that's very rare during football season! John's been super busy at work lately, too, so time together had been sparse. So we decided to spend our night together doing something out of the norm for us--bye bye dinner and a movie. We went to Jailbreak 2, a local art show held inside the Old City Jail.
Thanks Google Images for the pic...couldn't get a good one on my camera at night.
Part of the fun was just getting to explore the jail. It was used as the county jail between 1802 and 1939 and housed several pirates and criminals before their public hanging-- spooky! For the show, the cells were turned into art galleries, with pieces by local artists on display and for sale inside. In the back of the jail building, the courtyard area had a stage with live music, food, drinks and lots of jewelry vendors. We had a great time!

Do not pass Go, do not collect $100....
Hmmm, what's in here? The art was in many different cells on three stories of the building.
Loved the old iron-bar doors
After hanging out at the jail for a while, we headed down to King Street to do a little browsing.
John and the new car he found downtown.
We finished off the night with a pizza from Mellow Mushroom, and of course, watching a little football on the couch. Thanks honey for the great night!
