Karaoke Smackdown Review

Stardate 090.805

So karaoke went well last night. Light crowd, small rotation for most of the night. Still the singing was rather constant. Still got in almost 50 songs in just under 4 hours. The crowd got a bit larger as the night went on, the last hour had a lot of people in the bar. Sang about 14 songs, I think Alec managed about the same. A few other people pitched in, too. Mark, good sport that he is, played karaoke roulette, Josh sang a few, Kelly sang a couple, Stevo hit a song or two, and Gibtown pussed out.

Bryan was good enough to let me borrow his PA, which I'm getting more comfortable with. I'll probably pic up a couple of mics for it and really play with it next time to see if I can get a nicer sound out of it. The biggest problem is the speaker placement: it's such close quarters in the bar that a number of people are too close to one of the speakers, so it sounds pretty rough in that area. But it looks like the Zachery's gig is going to end up being a once a month gig that I'm going to push for first Friday. That way we avoid all the holidays that come at the end of the month or on Monday's at the beginning of the month.

Lance wrestled the pavement and lost. He and the rest of AM/FM left their Vincenzo's gig at 1am and headed over to pick up the PA from Zachery's. Ever helpful, Bryan found the largest band-aid in existence to bandage the much smaller wound. Nice job.

Regular Thursday night karaoke should commence shortly at the new Vincenzo's Underground. Looking forward to that. Now I just need to figure out a way to podcast this shit every week.
