Fatty reacting to the spectacle.
karaoke
Here she is again with the lean.
karaoke
His over-the-top rokk antics even managed to bring a closeted 80s hair-metal groupie up out of her seat.
karaoke
Sooo good! (PS - Note the dribble mark on Liz's shirt).
karaoke
Normally, I'd edit these down - but that blonde girl made so many awesome faces it just wouldn't fair to not show you all of them.
karaoke
After our duet, Liz led the ladies in song.
karaoke
Something by Madonna. Borderline, maybe?
karaoke
By the look on my face, I'm guessing it was something with high notes.
karaoke
Seth called on the audience to help him sing his next diddy.
karaoke
Seth, do you remember what the hell we sang together?
karaoke
A bad name, indeed. Thanks for all the support ladies. You done made New Jersey proud.
karaoke
When you do the Jovi right, girls can't help but touch their boobies! Hot damn!
karaoke
Oh, you thought I was just being funny when I capitalized ROKK on the last page? Ninja, please! Check out Fatty bringing the pain (whilst fisting a king can of Sappora, no less).
karaoke
Fatty getting ready to ROKK the mic! Don't think this night is over! Oh, no! We're just getting started. Hunker on down in you seat there and get comfy and when you're ready, check out the rest of the night.
karaoke
Pass the mic around!
karaoke
When the Pool Bar was getting ready to close, Seth made the birthday executive decision that we head to some tiny, divey Japanese restaurant that has...what else...KARAOKE!
karaoke
Birthday warming the crowd up with some Stevie.
karaoke
Or at least it did until her friend decided to get in on it by rubbing his ass all over me.
karaoke
Quicly became a duet. Er, sort of. This girl didn't sing with me, however, she did lay writing on the stage while I sang and did all sorts of crazy floor dancing. It significantly enhanced my performance.
karaoke
A mere three nights later and Grant and I found ourselves back on Sid & Buddy's karaoke stage, this time down in the basement of Remote Lounge.
karaoke
I'm just a poor boy nobody love me. Good night.
karaoke
As closing time approached, Matt invited (the few) remaining people left in the bar to all come up on stage and sing the standard end of the evening finale: Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.
karaoke
Then Grant sang something again. With all the shenanigans, I think we'd momentarily forgotten that there was karaoke to be sung!
karaoke
What started out as a solo performance...
karaoke
Then, out of the blue, Shane MacGowan (from The Pogues) showed up and sang karaoke!
karaoke
...invite the three of us to share the stage with him.
karaoke
Yeah, when the ass worship photos start - you know things have totally spiraled out of control. In fact, after ass worship, only one stop remains on the embarrassing train of intoxication...
karaoke
This guy liked the fact that we were taking pictures of him so much that he actually interrupted his song to...
karaoke
Grant whipped the entire bar into a frenzy with a Bowie jam.
karaoke
Not one to be left out, Amber quickly followed suit with a bra flash. (Check out Matt all busted getting his pervy peep on).
karaoke
...um, interesting pictures.
karaoke
I wasted no time and headed right for the stage. Grant manned my cam and managed to take some...
karaoke
Amber pays homage.
karaoke
Yaaaay, karaoke! Happy March everyone!
karaoke
Holy fucking shit, it's Dan.
karaoke
Sharkey Favorite, boy-ee. (Oh, and don't bother asking about the t-shirt girl on his site. He doesn't even know her.)
karaoke
On Monday night, I did something horrible - I cheated on Sid N' Buddy. That's right, I frequented another karaoke night! Noooo! Here's Amanda, of "shows her boobs" fame getting silly on the mic.
karaoke
Here's Seth doing Stevie proud on the mic.
karaoke
Jamie "Two-Prop" Kirkpatrick took everyone to Karaoke College when he played a solo on the Flacid Air Guitar with the Hulk Fist!
karaoke
Caitlin Krisco tearing up the karaoke mic. (Yo, this girl can sing).
karaoke
Jen cozies up to Buddy, er, I mean Slash for her trademark Sweet Child O' Mine.
karaoke
Uh-oh! Solo!
karaoke
Awwww, what's cuter than this? Reunited and it feels so good...
karaoke
You too, sweatheart. You deserve to temporarily bask in the wattage of Frank's karaoke glory.
karaoke
Take a bow!
karaoke
Not only did Frank steal Grant's funny lil' hat (Big guy in a leeeetle hat!), he even pulled up a lass from the crowd to help him on backing vocals.
karaoke
Anytime you're lucky enough to see Mr. Frank Picarazzi head for the karaoke stage, take a seat. You're in for a treat.
karaoke
And Grant couldn't help but snuggle up.
karaoke
Even Sarah got on the mic to pay a lil' welcome back homage.
karaoke
Grant's first solo song of the night (Maybe Superfreak? Maybe I Believe in a Thing Called Love?)
karaoke
After making sure our breath was nice and spicy, we headed one block east to Remote Lounge for the "Welcome Back Grant Karaoke Spectacular!"
karaoke
Here's the dramatic hi-five that led to the night's anthem, Thin Lizzy's The Boys Are Back in Town.
karaoke
Hahaha. Congrats on the book, lizzadies!
karaoke
And hey, no book party would be complete without a fifteen-person grand finale version of Bohemian Rhapsody.
karaoke
Lo making the best face ever.
karaoke
The authors on the mic!
karaoke
Hahah.
karaoke
TITTY!
karaoke
Alex, Liz and Angel again. Only this time...more drunk. Oh, and speaking of drunker...
karaoke
"Titty!"
karaoke
Angel, one of the few girls who could give Candy a run for her money in a karaoke-off. (Which has led me to conclude that if I want to ensure my future daughter's karaoke prowess, I'm clearly going to have to name her after a stripper. Look out Candy and Angle, one of these days Trixie Battjer is going to show you both up.)
karaoke
Angel, Alex and Liz.
karaoke
Catrinel.
karaoke
Philip (one of the two guys who started the company that I moved out to SF to join) and me!
karaoke
And then Amanda, my new favorite flasher, showed up with the rest of the Apocolypstik crew.
karaoke
After all of the hijinx that are invariably involved in moving a large group of drunk people ten blocks, we finally arrived at M Bar on Broome Street for a little Monday night Sid and Buddy karaoke akshun. Here's Adam Mandell kicking the night off.
karaoke
Bon Jovi? George Micheal? Sir Mix-a-lot? Who can remember?
karaoke
Hahaha.
karaoke
Seth Miller got back on the mic and the crowd absolutely went batshit.
karaoke
Lo and me doing a duet.
karaoke
Right in the middle of her song, she ripped open her shirt to reveal Apocalypstik stickers covering her titties. Amazing.
karaoke
Frank Picarazzi pleasing the crowd.
karaoke
Crowd response.
karaoke
Seth stopping the show with some Stevie.
karaoke
And giving off sparks.
karaoke
Judging by my red-from-screaming face, I'm guessing this is me singing "18 and Life"
karaoke
The crowd clearly starting to get karaoke fever.
karaoke
Along with Dennis' crew came superstar Mike Tully, who dropped some hip hop flava on the crowd before chugging his forty of brass monkey (that's malt liquor and orange juice) and heading off to see the Dizzy Rascal show.
karaoke
Dennis Crowley, founder of Dodgeball (and in my estimation) the very first person to have an episodic photo diary on the web, showed up to kick a little Wanted (Dead of Alive) the crowd's way.
karaoke
This fuggin guy, always on the celly.
karaoke
Meanwhile, back out on stage, Laura had teamed up with Rob Sheffield for a superstar duet of...
karaoke
Lawrence on the mic.
karaoke
...so I decided to pull "hey, this is my apartment" rank and cut the karaoke line! Hah!
karaoke
I don't know what I'm doing. I'm always in the dark. We're living in a powder keg.
karaoke
Jefferey Tonnesen in the ha-higgity.
karaoke
Laura and Sarah showed got to my apartment a little before 11pm, helped set up and sound-checked our awesome karaoke stage. (Special thanks to Mike Jurin who saved the karaokeness of the party by generously lending his speakers at the very last moment!)
karaoke
Lawrence warming up the crowd.
karaoke
...all the way down to the muthafucking floor!
karaoke
Sarah on the mic.
karaoke
The enthralled audience watched as she took her performance...
karaoke
Heidi came on and rocked the crowd...
karaoke
...weighing in with the jumpiest bounciest karaoke performance I've ever seen.
karaoke
Mandy.
karaoke
Later that night, Sarah invited me to Village Karaoke to attend a party celebrating the wrap of Stellastarr's karaoke-themed video. Here's Shawn.
karaoke
On with the karaoke! I don't know this dude singing...
karaoke
...but he rocked the karaoke mic so fucking hard he deserved to have a few pics snapped of him.
karaoke
Hahahahahahahaha.
karaoke
We wasted no time busting out the karaoke mic.
karaoke
...karaoke sound system! When he heard of our propensity to rock the karaoke mic, he fired that bad boy up and came around from behind the bar to sing with us.
