Sid & Buddy go swimming!

December 22, 2003

Tee-hee-hee!

December 22, 2003

With a little backup help from Matt, oops, I mean Sid.

December 22, 2003

Buddy and Sid as the White Stripes. (Buddy's Meg gets me so hard.)

Frank Picarazzi on the mic kicking the night off.

Then his pants. Somewhere along the lines a sailor hat, a life saver and an egg beater (yep, see it stuck down the front of his pants there?) entered the mix.

Shortly after, his girlfriend returned and somehow Jen Choi ended up on stage dirty dancing with her. (It was also right around here that my camera's batteries fucking died on me. I managed to snap a few more pics, but I kept having to turn the cam off for a few seconds, let it rest, then turn it on and try to take another pic before it died again.)

September 21, 2003

The real tragedy is that because of this I missed getting a really good action shot of Jen spanking the Bellybutton Lady with a leather S&M paddle. (I swear to God, I'm not kidding. This actually happened. If you look in the background, you can see Jen holding the paddle in her right hand - and see who the turquoise lady is all leaning against the wall - submitting herself?)

Hahahahahahahahaha.

...then over to Matt who proceeded to use it to get his Hulk-jerk on. After that, the line had pretty much been crossed and no one wanted to wear it anymore. Hulk-jerk? I mean, come on.

September 21, 2003

Sid and Buddy....and my ass.Hahahaha. Grant wins for braining Matt (ps - what's with your lumpy nuts, dude? You should probably get that looked at.)

September 21, 2003

Hahahahah - then they teamed up to "rock out" with her butt.

September 21, 2003

Grant and Lo (what were you guys singing, either of you remember?)

September 21, 2003

M-L-E on the M-I-C!

September 21, 2003

...HOLY SHIT! What's up, three foot flame? Jeeeeez! Ok, and that's about it for September.

September, 2003

It was super early, but I decided to pop in and say hi to Sid and Buddy in the basement. Buddy told me that he wanted to me to see if my new camera was fast enough the capture his new, "flaming hand" pyrotechnic toy. (Because, hey, pyrotechnics takes karaoke to a whole new level). Here he is...ready...

September, 2003

Then Grant and Buddy teamed up for one of the most explosive performances of Van Halen's "Panama" I've ever seen. Between the two of them, they managed to pull about half of and six "Faces of Rock." Here's Grant pulling the "Oh My God!"

September, 2003

Hahahaha. And here's Buddy caught in the middle of pulling my favorite "Face of Rock," the "Can You Belive How Fast I'm Playing This Guitar?"

September, 2003

Here's Buddy pulling the infamous "Lick the Air!"

September, 2003

No, no! You can't hurry love. No! You'll just have to wait. Seriously.

September, 2003

karaoke ↗+

Monday night karaoke was extra-special because there were all these Mafiosa guys there that wandered in after eating at Lombardi's nextdoor. They all sang Frank Sinatra songs.

Big Daddy tearing it up with Huey Lewis' seminal "I Want a New Drug." Homeboy kicked it so hard he needed not one, but two blonde, hula-clad male dancers. Check out that face; the urgency - can't you see how much Big Daddy wants that new drug?

Candy and I reminded everyone that Roxanne did indeed not need to be putting on that red light. Seriously, those days are over, Rox. For seriously.

Check him out stealthily pressing her hand against his luggage. Smooooth.

More Sid & Buddy karaoke. Sid (dressed as Siouxsie?) singing and Buddy on the inflatable axe.

Ooooooh! Betsy's showing 'er bum!

Here's Frank Picarazzi (in a tuxedo shirt, no less) who insisted the prompter be turned off while he was singing because he was, "going 'off book'" for her schmoking version of Lionel Ritchie's "All Night Long."

June 28, 2003

After everyone woke up we headed around the corner to meet up with the rest of the gang over at Nolita Tavern for Saturday night Sid and Buddy Karaoke.

But, I mean, they do have sparklers. Sparklers, yo. Happy June!

So we celebrated by going to, um, karaoke. Karaoke again? I know, I know. I should probably talk to someone about this, huh?

June, 2003

And I saved the best for last...check out the ghetto pyrotechnics! That's right, they took sparklers and scotch-taped them to the ceiling for the big "Wanted Dead or Alive" Bon Jovi hair-metal finale!

May 19, 2003

Complete with mad Twister scramble during the instrumental break...

May 19, 2003

Short People Got Big Reasons to Smile.

May 19, 2003

And for the big finale of the night, Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody!"

May 19, 2003

In a fantastically bizarre twist, if it's your birthday, you get to spank Sid and Buddy.

May 19, 2003

What, you don't believe me? See those two smoking hot, blonde hula girls? Yeah, that's right! They got so hot and bothered by my karaoke jam that right after i was done singing they took me in the bathroom and I totally got down with both of them! So who's gay now, huh? Huh?

May 19, 2003

Grant freestyles to the BeeGee's classic, "You Should Be Dancin'" (with Buddy on falsetto backup pipes).

May 19, 2003

Yo, you can diss and say that karaoke's gay and all. But you clearly have no idea what you're talking about because karaoke makes chicks totally hot and then they want to do you.

May 19, 2003

...and my personal fave, Double Elton Johns!

..."Baby's Got Back!"

Matt and Dan as the White Stripes...

May 19, 2003

Matt dressed up as Moby...

May 19, 2003

...but soon enough she was rocking her hips and belting out with the best of them!

May 19, 2003

She's got eyes of the bluest skies...

May 19, 2003

Look! Sometimes there's even the occasional celebrity. That's Peter Reigert (he played "Boon" in Animal House, remember), up on stage to sing "Shout." (He was there because it was the wrap-party for a movie he'd just finished directing. Beverly D'Angelo [aka - Ellen Griswold *swoon*] was in the movie too and I was hoping that I'd get to dedicate a karaoke jam just for her, but she was a no-show. Bah.)

May 19, 2003

Matt Lesser The Hairdresser (aka "Sid") and Matt Levine (aka "Buddy).

May 19, 2003

You know what baby's got...

May 19, 2003

On Monday, May 19th at 12:14am history was made as Sarah Lewitinn (of "Ultragrrrl" fame) finally drank enough to climb up on stage and pop her sweet, virgin karaoke cherry! She was a lil' shy at first...

May 19, 2003

Herman in action (most likely kicking his signature rendition of Britney Spears' "Hit Me, Baby [One More Time]") with Sid and Buddy on backup.

May 19, 2003

Oh, did I forget to mention that they have a giant bag of costumes and (if you want) you can dress up as whoever you're singing a song by? Er, or as in this case, you can dress up in random, white jumpsuits. (Sorry guys, I forgot who you're supposed to be here!)

May 19, 2003

But oh! This is and easy one! As Axl and Slash...
