Tonight is the night. Scamper. Aloud. The Middle East Upstairs. It promises to almost be too much rock. Like, it might get weirdly sexual. I hope you prepare yourselves for that outcome, because it's looking like about a 67% probability.
Personally, I'm planning on wearing a beige Army shirt and trying to subtly work my way into Aloud society. I'm getting a little ick-say of amper-Scay.
In other news, I prepared for the gig tonight by hitting some late night karaoke. Some highlights:
- A guy selected Boy George's "The Crying Game" and did it spot-on perfect. It might have been the most perfect karaoke moment I've ever witnessed.
- JDog and I attempted a duet on "The Girl Is Mine" by Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson. It started off okay, but then degenerated into a manly slapfight when both of us wanted to sing Michael's part.
- Maura knocked some Bon Jovi out of the park, like the true karaoke pro that she is. Nothing really interesting about this part of the story, but I know she'd get mad at me if she didn't get the mention.
- Funniest joke of the night: as a truly ENORMOUS guy (I mean, easily pushing four bills) gets up to sing, Joe turns to me and says "That guy goes into the Ground Round and says, 'Uh... I'll just pay the price on the menu, thanks.'" Killer.
See you all tonight at the Middle East. If you don't come, you're a jerk.

1) dude, you gotta give RICH FREAKING SANDA (aka Bill S.) the named shout-out for "the crying game." it was so totally amazing.
2) what am i, chopped liva?
oh woops:
one other thing. when we were driving to karaoke, we saw a store that was named "skampa." all in favor of a spelling change??
i think the ayes take it.
I've been wanting to take a band photo outside of Skampa for years now. No one listens to me.
What was that? I wasn't listening.
So weird - Joe asks me: "Have you ever been to the Courtside for karaoke before?"
Me: "Yeah, like 2 years ago. Why?"
Joe: "You're in like three pictures on their website."

I've got short hair, glasses and an unfortunately familiar bad beard going.
Oh yeah, THAT guy.
That's the guy we all thought was Mike Mirabella.
How lame do you think I am that I need a mention?? Psssssshhhhh...
All I know is this: You definitely won the best karaoke dancer award for your performance in The Girl is Mine.
Your goal for next week is to get Mark the Shark to buy you a beer, the Courtside karaoke equivalent of an Oscar.
grammy... grammy... I meant grammy.
Fine, I am lame.
