Karaoke Joe is poised for a comeback
Looks like I'll get a shot Thursday nights at the new bar opening downtown. Considering how successful the last show was and the fact that the new place will have a full liquor license, I'm hoping to be able to build up a nice big crowd fairly quickly.
I'll have to make some additions to my books, specifically something describing my rotation rules. I'm the most organized host I've seen locally, and my show is nearly all karaoke. We've done some movieoke in the past, too, but that's kind of a mixed bag, and the new venue is a basement bar with a VERY low ceiling. Not sure they'll be a way to easily use the projector for movieoke or even for use as a display for lyrics for the crowd to use. We'll have to see.
I still plan on running a really tight show, with as little time as possible between songs. That's really my biggest complaint with the other local shows: too much inaction and/or dance music in between singers. While I might squeeze 50 songs into a four hour show, other hosts are lucky to manage 35.
I think I'm going to get lucky and not have to worry about a PA, either. Looks like there's going to be a house-system that's karaoke capable in place, which will make setup and tear-down that much easier.
I'm stoked. It's been four months since I've been able to host, and I miss being able to throw a party every week.
