We used to be a Markwell Lights (ML) family, but that stopped being a thing. Then we found out…read moreabout the Miranda Family Lights (MFL) last year, and that became our new family tradition. As far as technical skills are concerned, MFL would qualify as being several steps above ML. In fact, comparing them doesn't seem fair because MFL is a full-on elaborate production, while ML was... not that... But the MFL has some minor annoyances that we haven't really seen with ML. Namely: (1) the MFL is one house, while the ML was like a whole street, and (2) people are people (or another way to put it, people are jerks). I'm not talking about the Miranda family. They seem like wonderful people; I don't know them, but I do know what their LED children look like. The MFL cycles through approximately 10(ish) minutes of a very 80's themed show. What we experienced though was that people camp out in front of the house for more than one iteration of the 10 minute show, and then everyone behind these inconsiderate people has to just... sit there and wait. Literally, every 5-10 minutes, there should be movement of at least 5 vehicles. But when we went, we arrived at 5:40 pm (or thereabouts), and didn't get in front of the house until 6:20 pm, and we were just around the corner from the house. There was no reason it should have taken that long, except for the fact that people were being ill-mannered butts. In fact, I'm starting to think these are the same people who cut lines at the movie theater (remember movie theaters?), or think it's okay to yell at fast food employees. tldr; cool lights, but the show could almost be a little shorter to get people to cycle through faster; like... cut a couple of the songs out maybe? We will definitely be back, but we'll be better prepared next time to explain to our toddlers what's causing the hold-up, without using the words "because people are jerks."

A huge heaping helping of holiday cheer. The most impressive dancing house I've seen anywhere, and…read moreI've trekked to see a lot of light shows in my day. Terrific soundtrack and multimedia experience. They also make pre and post Christmas versions of the show to maintain maximum relevance through NYE. Bonus points for terrific signage and their helpful traffic flow messages that clearly assist with keeping their neighbors happy during all the mayhem. They even do an abbreviated show for the high traffic pre-Christmas weekend - sheer brilliance. To cap it all off, they collect donations for charity the whole time, too. Look for them on the Great Christmas Light Fight TV show in 2019. Wishing the Miranda Family all the best and sending gratitude for this awesome display of holiday spirit.

This event is a joy for your senses and quite a celebration for our community!! There's so much to…read moresee, taste, smell, hear, and the experience itself is wonderfully fun! Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition (OVAC) hosted their second annual fundraiser event in 2016. What's OVAC you ask? Great question! They are an arts council of sorts which is a non-profit organization that raises funds to promote the arts and artists in Oklahoma. They also provide a network of support for artists and art lovers alike. They bring art to the forefront of the conversation because they recognize the important role the arts play in our community. TO SEE: Their annual fundraising event is dubbed "12x12" and has been hosted the past two years at the Science Museum Oklahoma. The idea is for local artists to create artwork that is 12 inches by 12 inches in size. At the event, all pieces are showcased; there's a silent auction (bids start at $175) and all proceeds benefit OVAC. Also, there's LOTS of folks that come out supporting OVAC and local artists. It's an event to see and be seen! TO TASTE & SMELL: Though our local artists are the real stars at this event, our local chefs had quite a good showing, too! Local restaurants bring some of their best appetizer samples to share with the crowd. Some of my favorites from the evening were creations from Café 7, The Metro Wine Bar & Bistro, Picasso Café, Pizzeria Gusto, Prairie Gypsies, Vast, and VZD's Restaurant & Bar. TO HEAR: There's local muscians playing at this event throughout the evening. They did a great job helping to create a lovely atmosphere. A CELEBRATION! This event represents some of the best of what our community has to offer: celebrating creativity, the arts, and each other's talents. What a fun way to spend an evening! I am looking forward to seeing all the great programs, projects, grants and art-centric conversations that OVAC is able to share with our community as a result of this event. Congratulations at such a great event, OVAC!

A great fundraiser for the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition. The Science Museum was a fun venue for…read morehosting this event. They let us roam around the museum if we wanted to. Walking in; I was greeted by friendly ambassadors of the Coalition who assisted me with determining if I was a spectator, sponsor, artist, or if I was lost. After a friendly concession I was on my way. I attempted to get a drink , but I was just starving so I made my way to the food. They had live music, and some interesting acrobatic/aerobatic performers. The music alternated a few times, and each musician had their own style of music. It was a great event. There was a ton of food there from restaurants I was familiar with, and some I've never heard of. It was all great, and I was surprised at the quality of the food considering it was catered in.

I've been to several shows there and I really like how the stage is now. The sound and lighting are pretty good. Ticket prices are generally fair and the bar prices are about average for OKC. I believe they are a beer only place. Parking is the same as all ways. For bigger shows get there early for the best parking. The only thing that bothers me is the limited setting. Outside of the merch tables to only seating is in the bar area. It would nice to have a few tables and chairs again.

Ocean's is the bar inside of a Best Western (or similar) hotel. Let's just get that out of the way,…read morebecause this place is great and I wouldn't want you to feel at sea pulling up to the parking lot. Sorry lol Dad jokes. My bar days are basically behind me, but Ocean's could about pull me out of retirement. They have the bar essentials of a cool staff who make folks feel genuinely welcome, strong-a** drinks, and awesome bar food, and hookahs (apart from the hookahs, it's non-smoking). Ocean's has regular events like karaoke on Tuesdays, Singalong Sundays, and the super-fun paint night that I attended. Paint night at Ocean's works like this: you register on Facebook, then you come in, grab a seat with your friends at a one of six round tables where you are provided with paints and a canvas. Then, you paint, order drinks and smoke a hookah if you want while everyone just paints whatever they feel like painting in a totally relaxed and friendly environment. By the time you have finished painting, the people at your table WILL be talking with folks at other tables and people will be going around checking out one another's efforts. It's great! If you get hungry waiting for your painting to dry, the wings are amazing, fresh and full-size (not party-size). We tried the recommended 1/2 and 1/2 lemon pepper and Buffalo sauce combo and did not regret it at all. The catfish is some of the best I've had--the fry is perfectly crispy cornmeal--and you can get it IN BUFFALO SAUCE. It's basically the best version of that imaginable. Later in the evening, the music level goes up and it turns into more of a club, but we went home before then. Ocean's is a hidden gem with great vibe.

I've been here about half a dozen times for events. It's such a cool concept. Located in a fairly…read moreindustrial office park, the back half of the OKC Cellar is behind a locked door. Small local wine brokers store their wine in large lockers back there. But you'd never really know that to walk into the front half, which is kind of like a nice cocktail area and kitchen. It's the perfect place to host small events, like wine tastings and classes. I've been here for several events where wine reps do tastings for restaurant industry folks. Every time I'm here, I think my next event should be here. It would be so much easier to rent this place than to get my house ready for company. If you need a space for 30 people to sit down at tables, have access to a kitchen, and enjoy each others' company, I highly recommend this spot. Wish I had thought of it!

Imagine you were at home hosting people and your kitchen was attached to a huge living room with…read morelots of seats and tables for the guests. That's how the event space felt to me. I didn't feel like I was in a business park or industrial area at all. It was comfortable and super hip. I came here for an event and the space was very cool and accommodating. Lots of seating and tables for setting things on to. An open parking lot with easy access to and from the highway. There is a huge refrigerator, kitchen sink, huge dining table, coffee tables, credenza, and restrooms. Lots of lighting, and the entrance area has widows with blinds and curtains if you want natural light or privacy. They had tons of wine all over and I would like to return to check out that portion of the business. If you have a party you want to host but don't want to do it at your house for any reason then you should consider renting here.
