back to back sid & buddy karaoke


Well, not exactly back to back, but "Twice in a couple of Days Karaoke Just didn't have the same ring to it - anyway, here's some pics from the good old days back when Sid & Buddy karaoke used to rule the world two nights a week at Nolita Tavern. (You know I've been doing this site too long when these photos seem tame compared to other infamous Sid & Buddy nights).

Yet again! As soon as she see's someone hold up a camera, *poof*, she hides. ˆ chiara ˆ leila ˆ me ˆ karaoke ˆ

Trouble Twins: The Duet. Actually, come to think of it, I don't even think they sang at all - mostly they just danced all drrrrrty up in each others' booties. ˆ chiara ˆ leila ˆ karaoke ˆ

Having failed to properly woo Chiara, Ed bought the entire bar three more rounds of shots (I'm not kidding, he really did) and then tried his schtick all over again on Leila. ˆ chiara ˆ ed ˆ leila ˆ awkward ˆ karaoke ˆ

Not really working, though. (And painful to watch). ˆ emily ˆ jamie k ˆ awkward ˆ

And then suddenly, the shots got the better of Leila and she started getting all fresh with Ed - tugging at his luggage and whatnot (The momentary look on confusion on Ed's face as he tried to figure out if she kidding around or not quickly turned to indifference as he realized "Hey, either way some cute chick's tugging at my carrot.") Then, just as Leila was about to give Ed some full-on mouth kissing, Chira shut things down with a strategically placed hand. ˆ chiara ˆ ed ˆ leila ˆ best ˆ drunk ˆ karaoke ˆ

Huh?

Leila took a quick break from her make out sesh to writhe and gratuitously cup her breasts next to me on stage while I sang. Thanks for that, hon. Motley Crue karaoke just isn't the same without a girl on the stage touching herself and shimmying suggestively. ˆ leila ˆ me ˆ best ˆ karaoke ˆ

With only a rock-inspired lip-curl Jamie managed to.... ˆ jamie k ˆ karaoke ˆ

...summon Leila back up onstage to accompany him with some "rock slut" dancing during his amazing version of the classic Mr. Big metal ballad "To Be With You." ˆ jamie k ˆ leila ˆ karaoke ˆ

With Leila having left the stage to get back her make out, Sid was forced to break out the big guns in order to hold the audience's attention. That's right: COSTUME TIME! He enlisted Dan to be his lil' Meg White and represented with a kick-ass version of The White Stripes' "Fell In Love With A Girl." ˆ dan cassanova ˆ matt lesser ˆ costumes ˆ karaoke ˆ

When even the costumes failed to draw the crowd's eyes from the show Leila and her fellow make-out co-conspiritors were putting on, Matt had no choice but to pull out the nuclear weapon of karaoke moves, the "Knee Swing from the Water Pipe." Holy fucking shit. ˆ dan cassanova ˆ matt lesser ˆ best ˆ costumes ˆ

On Monday evening I met up with Liz and Frank for some East 6th Street Indian food action. Frank's not in any of the pictures because I was too busy taking pictures of our waiter falling in love with Liz. He kept bringing more and more random shit out to our table just so he'd have an excuse to flirt (/molest) Liz. (Check him out trying to use his lil' moustache to tickle her ear. Smoooooove.) ˆ liz ˆ awkward ˆ hug ˆ

The best part was that Liz had like seven inches on him. (Bonus points for his American flag tie, bless his lil' heart.) ˆ liz ˆ best ˆ indian food ˆ strangers ˆ

After dinner, I stopped over at Miye and David's to bring them to their first ever Sid & Buddy Monday night karaoke. If not for his hot-ass wife, I'd swear David was a flaming queen - While goading him to hurry up in the bathroom I whipped out my cam and managed to catch his metrosexual ass in the middle of CURLING HIS FUCKING EYELASHES! I went back out the living room to inform Miye that I'd just caught her husband using her eyelash curler thingy to which she replied "My eyelash curler's in my purse. That's David's very own eyelash curler." And there you have it. ˆ david kreitman ˆ best ˆ gay ˆ

Ok, it does make his eyes look really pretty though. I will give him that. ˆ david kreitman ˆ miye ˆ

brian battjer, miye muccullough

Miye wasn't ready to brave the karaoke stage solo, so I helped ease her on in by teaming up for a duet. She spent more time sucking down her drink than she did singing. ˆ me ˆ miye ˆ karaoke ˆ

A short while later, fellow Roxbury High School alumnus Bev Chase and Christina Alessi showed up to represent NJ (Chris' band, Hey Tiger, had just finished playing a show over at the Mercury Lounge) ˆ bev ˆ christina alessi ˆ metal ˆ roxbury high school ˆ

Christina Alessi is hands down one of the best singer's I've ever heard. She literally silenced the crowd with her fucking amazing version of Skid Row's "18 & Life." (Which in trying to follow in her footsteps has since become a karaoke staple of mine). ˆ christina alessi ˆ karaoke ˆ

Emily and Bevery Chase (Class Wit '95). I'm using Bev's full name here with the hopes that any time some one googles her name, the whole "Class Wit" thing will show up next to it. ˆ bev ˆ emily ˆ duet ˆ karaoke ˆ roxbury high school ˆ

After a few stiff drinks, our fawn-lashed friend finally had enough liquid courage in him to get up on stage and pop his cherryoke (pronounced to rhyme with karaoke). ˆ david kreitman ˆ cherryoke ˆ karaoke ˆ
