Sid and Buddy's Karaoke Reunion

On Monday night I headed down to Fontana's for the very last Sid & Buddy Karaoke party ever! Matt & Matt had decided to celebrate their departure from the karaoke business by naming Larson (aka "Captain Goodtimes") as the emcee heir to their karaoke empire!

Thanks for all the hard work and magic you guys put into helping people let it all hang out on stage over all these years, Matt & Matt!

Tuesday, January 19th

Things get literal on the LES/Chinatown border. Haha.

matt l, matt lesser, shandi — It was a tender moment.

matt l, matt lesser, sid and buddy — Why waste any time NOT being shirtless? Matt got right down to business!

larson, sid and buddy — Such good times. Thanks again, Matts. We'll carry Sid & Buddy in our hearts forever (on the condition that their costumes have been recently laundered).
