Yay! Okay, so we had Blogger Karaoke Night this past Saturday, and it was awesome! Scheduled attendees included Enrico, Josh, David, Chris D., FDot, Jere, Kári (from this TMST), and myself of course!
Me and Jere were the first to arrive, and we waited like 5 hours (okay, maybe like 10 minutes) for other people to start arriving, and I’m sure he was worried that this was all some elaborate plot for me to get some alone time with him, which is actually a pretty smart idea now that I think of it.
But then Kári came and we started ordering drinks and Kári ordered a gin & tonic, which made my heart grow three sizes too big, and may or may not explain the ridiculous grin on my face in this picture.
And then FDot came and was awesome and then OMG Polt and Dave S. came! My Mom predicted that people who read my blog are crazy fun-loving enough to come from way out of town for tonight, and she was right!
And then David came and none of us had done karaoke yet as we were riveted by the anime they were playing, but he immediately put a stop to that and got the party started with Love Shack.
And then Enrico and Josh came really fashionably late and started singing right away.
Enrico was all like “I’m putting this picture on my pillowcase later.”
Enrico and Josh were also picking out songs for everyone else to sing.
They picked a Christina Aguilera song for Chris D., but doesn’t he look like an old time crooner in that vest? I feel like he should be singing Unforgettable.
I’m not quite sure what’s going on here, but I imagine Josh being all like “OMG I don’t know this song! It’s sooo old!” And Enrico being all like “Yeah, I know, it’s like, from the 80′s. Just smile and nod.”
And this is one of my favorite pictures ever because I’m sorry, but Polt looks sooooo creepy in it. Like he’s all like “Come child, sit next to me and sing.”
Here are me and Dave S! He came all the way from Ohio! Him and Polt shared a hotel room. Oh to be a fly!
Not sure what’s going on here. By the confusion/disgust on their faces I’m thinking maybe this is an Enrico and Josh song?
Yeah, definitely gotta be an Enrico and Josh song.
Now let me tell you. It may not look like much, but Jere is rapping like a mother fucker in this picture. That whole wall was doing Lady Marmalade and Jere was Lil’ Kim and he was amazing!
I forget who David was but he was also amazing. He’s like an actual singer and shit!
Me and Enrico! His beard is just as magnificent in person as it is on the internet. Oh, and the rest of him is pretty swell too!
Me and Josh! Josh talks in funny voices that make me laugh heartily and his beard is just as magnificent as mine!
So after karaoke we decided to go to dinner and we found this diner that couldn’t seat all ten of us together so we had to sit at three different booths. Wait, is Kári drinking a milkshake? I really want a milkshake now. Oh, and I heard there was some fry stealing going on at this table.
Jere’s face in this picture makes my heart sing a song of joy.
And this was my table AKA teh coolest table evar! Even though Dave S. put ketchup on his chili fries ::shudders::
After dinner we decided to go to this Japanese bar/restaurant thingamajig that David knew about. So we all got on the subway to go downtown, and Josh was all like “I don’t feel well!”
And then he was all like “VOMCOPTERZ!”
And then he was all like “Yum, much better.” While Enrico was all like ::blink, blink::
Meanwhile, Polt was all like “I have had it up to here with all these twinks fooling around, and their Britney Spearsberg songs, and their internets.”
AND OMG HE WAS A SUICIDE BOMBER! And Dave S. was all like “Are those Super Viagra boxers, and if so, where can I get them?”
And Chris D. was all like “I will destroy the evidence with my super smoldering gaze extreme maximus!”
And he shot laser beams out of his eyes and destroyed my camera! Can you believe it?!
And then the subway exploded and everyone but me died, and thankfully I was able to save my memory card with all the pictures because I’m awesome like that. Now I know there are loads of unanswered questions. Like, what song did I have to sing at karaoke? Where did Craig go after the subway explosion? What was in the purple giftbag in the fourth picture? For those answers and more, check out everyone else’s blogs to get the same night from different perspectives!
Nathan, I love you! Separate Ways is the best!!!! sigh……I miss Journey.
After watching Chris D’s video I had to download ‘Torn’ from itunes. I’d forgotten how much I Love that song.
You guys should totally make this an annual thing.
If I recall correctly, Chris’s DIB photo was pretty steamy as well.
I agree!
David from Brazil: The first thing I asked Craig when I saw these pictures was “Can you introduce me to the cuuute blonde boy?” At this point I’m on the verge of becoming a creepy stalker. :-p
Melody: First off, hi! Secondly, I wouldn’t be so quick to say that dirty water dogs are just an NYC thing. Growing up in Georgia we had hot dogs boiled on the stove allllll the time, usually accompanied by Kraft macaroni and cheese. Yep, my parents understood the value of good nutrition.
and Craig: If Teach for America places me in the city, you damn well better invite me to Karaoke Night Round Two! (Which means I have to become a more frequent commenter here…yikes!)
Dcm: and did you see the videos? I watched them at Polt’s blog. Kari’s so darn cute – while the rest are singing and talking (Josh in particular seems very outgoing, should be a blast to hang out with), Kari is just nursing his drink, eating something, he seems happy, but shy. I have to resist the urge to virtually hug him. Too cute.
It’s official. There’s a Kari Fan Club. (Sorry Craig :-p)
Bossy is so jealous she can’t breathe. That’s it, she’s buying a Manhattan pied-a-terre.
DCM: Hello! Ok-just to clear up-I meant that the street cart dirty water dogs were more of a NY thing-now-I could be wrong about this as well. I am however glad to hear that your childhood diet was fairly consistent to that of Josh’s and mine.
Fantastic pictures, I love Chris D’s extreme maximus gaze seemingly setting off the deadly chain of events. That’s one powerful being!
ooooh I knew there was a special going on. .there was a happiness in my heart and I didn’t know why…it was because Dave S was so close to my life, maybe we were on theh same train! Dave S could have saved the cost of a hotel room and stayed with me!
where are the chicks! WTF, we need some womyn representing this website!!!!
