Something that departs from the popular ethos of the south-central U.S. happens on the first Friday night of every month in downtown Tulsa.

Yes, every single month, and yes, right here in your very own town. Tulsans park their cars, lace up their walking shoes, ditch the streets and take to the sidewalks instead, flitting from art gallery to bar to restaurant to art gallery, soaking up art openings, new exhibits and even performance art and music.

It's a little something called First Friday Art Crawl, and it takes over the Brady District on the first weekend night after you flip the page on your calendars at home.

As terrific as it is to realize this for perhaps the first time, here's something else rad: This month's First Friday Art Crawl is a special First Friday Art Crawl. So special, in fact, that it's babysitter worthy.
