Let's make some sweet, sweet music together.

Picking up right where Erin's entry left off, I will continue the adventure of our Saturday night:

Josh (whom you may remember as the former Executive Producer of Bay State), Justin (whom you won't remember unless you date back to the days of Microwave Tinfoil), and Josh's friend Chris (whom you can't remember because you haven't met him) were waiting to hang out with us once we got home from the Observatory. Unfortunately, their dark, twisted plans required being 21+, so Erin was unable to attend.

Jenn and I spent about six minutes at home before Josh pulled up in his car to pick us up, and we headed to Korea Town, where Chris's apartment, and various Karaoke establishments, are located.

After a few episodes of Stella at Chris's (accompanied by a few beers), we and Chris's roommates walked to a Karaoke lounge where you could rent private rooms. Thanks to the large number of people, it cost almost nothing between us, and we had unlimited songs to sing. Or yell. Or rap. (Maybe I knew all the words to "The Real Slim Shady," and maybe I requested that right off the bat.)

As the night progressed, the attendees thinned to just the five of us, and the activity escalated to a full-on rock-out session. Tambourines included!


And, we were endlessly amused by the background to the songs we sang, which chronicled the lives of this young Asian couple, and had nothing to do with any of the lyrics.


Finally, I offer the following embarrassing videos for your viewing pleasure:

(Specifically dedicated to DJ and Amadeo.)


(Truth be told, I have no excuse for this one.)

Basically, we danced and sang, screamed and yelled, drank and laughed, until 2 AM, when we grabbed a cab home. And then we watched those videos and realized that we made pretty big asses of ourselves.

The best part? We'll do all of that with you, as soon as you come visit us. If you don't, you'll have to keep reading this blog and being jealous. (Actually, after those videos, you're probably going, "Is that supposed to be enticing?" It is, but maybe I should refine my argument next time so that it doesn't include videos.)
