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).
Finally, it was Larson's turn to take the stage! He always comes prepared...and by prepared I mean he always carries around an inflatable guitar with him just in case karaoke breaks out.
The crowd was entertained, though! Well, everyone in the crowd except for Larson! He's the guy in the navy shirt who's totally just glaring and waiting for her to hurry up and finish so that his turn to sing can happen sooner).
Next up on the mic was Capt. Larson. So I'm writing this on Jan 23rd, 2006, a little over a year later - anyway, last night I was up late, I have the flu and couldn't sleep, and I started watching late-night HBO. A movie that I hadn't seen in years came on and I thought to myself...
When following an act like Grant, sometimes you gotta enlist the help of props. Fully intending to take on the master, relative karaoke newcomer Larson took the stage in full skipper regalia flanked by two pastel chicas and busted out Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart (which he actually has the gumption to call "his" song! Playa, please!)
...PROP EXCESS! In accordance with Buddyhead's Rules of Rock (ie: "Number 18. Drummers can take off their shirts or they can wear gloves, but not both.") the Karaoke Rules of Rock must state that you can wear a Skipper's uniform or a HULKfist, never both.
Grant hit the stage and tried out some new moves. Like pretending that his leg and ass were a guitar so he could play along for the two-guitar solo (holy shit). After warming up the crowd with his new moves...
...here he is at the peak! How fucking unbelievable is this picture? As soon as I clicked the shutter I knew I'd managed to capture something magical. Click here to download a full-size, high-resolution version. Because you know you want to set this shit as your desktop wallpaper.
