A Karaoke Christmas

The day after I got back from my trip to California, I met up with the gang and headed to Nolita Tavern for Sid & Buddy's Karaoke Christmas party. I wanted to get one last fix in before heading home to NJ the next morning to spend the holidays with the fam.

frank, sid and buddy — Frank Picarazzi on the mic kicking the night off.

colin, heather, liz, mike blancaflor — Crowd shot.

mike blancaflor — Mike B.

jamie k, me — Me and Jaime Kirkpatrick.

sid and buddy — Buddy and Sid as the White Stripes. (Buddy's Meg gets me so hard.)

jamie k — Jaime on tha mic.

leila, me — Me and Leila.

amber — And introducing...drumroll...AMBER! This was the 2nd time I ever hung out with Amber and while she pretended that she didn't want her picture taken, I know she's secretly spent the last few months waiting for her picture to get posted. Hahaha.

crazy jen, matt l — This is Liz's crazy friend Jen singing with Buddy.

Me and Candy.

frank, liz, mike blancaflor — Liz and Frank. (Who will be married by this time next week! Congrats guys!)

chiara, colin — Colin and Shady Chiara.

andy, jamie k, me, sarah — What's up, horrible group shot. Clockwise from left: Mark, Andy, ?, me, the always lovely Sarah Lewitinn and Jamie.

candy — Candy rokking the mic

leila — Leila with her bling tattoo.

amber, sarah — Cheeky lil' Sarah getting ready to bite Amber's cheeks.

matt lesser — Sarah and Matt.

amber, me — Me with Amber (who became less shy as she drank more).

andy, sarah — Sarah, Andy and a friend.

amber, david w — David chats up Amber ("Ha! That's so true! You're SO FUNNY!") While Marco silently moves in on Amber's friend.

Hahaha. The Flock of Seagulls hair gets 'em everytime.

liz — Meanwhile, back on stage, here's Liz Reich about to pop her Cherryoke!

liz, sid and buddy — With a little backup help from Matt, oops, I mean Sid.

candy — Candy and a friend doing a duet. See that girl in the background with her fist up in the air? Remember her! She's about to turn into the STAR of this entry!).

jamie k — Smoosh-face Jamie.

sid and buddy — Sid & Buddy go swimming!

sid and buddy — The Eiffel Tower of Power!

matt l, matt lesser, sid and buddy — Tee-hee-hee!

matt lesser, me — Me and Sid.

chiara, jamie k, leila — Leila and Chiara.

chiara, leila — The Trouble Twins strike again.

And as the night went on, the ever productive Marco was pushing things forward as well.

frank, liz — Liz and Frank dancing. These captions are sort of boring, huh? Well, don't worry, things are about to get a whole lot more interesting.

sarah — So while Sarah was in the middle of singing, we all noticed that some girl sitting off to the side had...

sarah — ...totally passed the fuck out. Sarah went over to seranade her and when she didn't wake up for that, we knew there was trouble to be had.

Sid tried to rouse her from her slumber with an "ass dance" but to no avail. She was out cold. That's when I decided that every single person in the bar should pose with her!

Me. Hahahah.

jamie k — Jamie squeezin' some titty.

I'm not sure who this guy is or whether or not the drunk girl was a friend of his. He was sitting next to her the whole night and he loved that everyone was posing with her.

Amber gave her a "Bronsky" (boobies in the face).

amber — And then came back to show a little hip.

sarah — While Sarah, always the kind one, offered her a sip of beer.

leila, matt l, matt lesser — Here's Leila, Sid and Buddy (who's actually laying his head on her passed-out little lap.)

hulk fist, jamie k — Jamie again. This time with Hulk fist

candy, hulk fist — Candy. With Hulk fist and furry hat.

mike blancaflor — Hahaha. Mike B!

colin — Colin showing some nip!

andy — Hahahah. Andy goes in for a handfull (disclaimer: He's not really touching it! I swear!)

Hahahaha.

Amber's friend and Marco.

Sarah and Rob took it upon themselves to...

...actually lay in her lap while frenching. (I love how Rob's laughing and it's causing Sarah to accidentally lick his face).

matt l — Buddy lends a wig.

sarah — Sarah snuggles up. Shortly afterwards, we finally managed to slap her awake and we all helped her into a cab.
