The place was pretty much packed with all people I didn't recognize...at least until Shandi took with stage to sing a duet with Kareem (who I don't know but I like his photography a lot).
After watching the karaoke competition (I didn't RSVP in time to be a contestant), I headed over to Pianos to SING some karaoke! Hahah. Here's me and Shanthrax.
I also ran into Kevin (only his red Super Mario pants and blue shirt are visible in this photo). He's a karaoke character that I know from way back in the early Nolita Tavern days of Sid & Buddy karaoke! I'll never forget the night the karaoke machine broke and the 5 or 6 of us that were there all agreed to go up and sing our karaoke songs a capella! Every one did fun, sing-a-long type songs and then Kevin went up and sang the theme song from M*A*S*H. (You know, the one that has 8 verses, each followed with a refrain that goes "suicide is painless." Needless to say, no one really felt like singing again (ever!) after he'd finished!
