What hidden benefit of Oklahoma have you enjoyed?One of the main reasons I came to Oklahoma and stayed after undergrad is the people.

Surprisingly a decent amount of concerts run through OKC.
What's one song you have completely memorized?
Ever since I nearly got pulled onstage at a 2018 Paramore concert to sing Misery Business, I whip that out at karaoke at any opportunity. That's the kind of rejection that sticks with you forever.
