karaoke

My apologies for the delay, but I’m usually pretty busy during mikeFEST!™ and this current mikeFEST!™ has been particularly demanding. Let’s see what I remember and please feel free to fill in the gaps:

In keeping with mikeFEST!™ tradition, karaoke had a slow start. In fact, the owner wanted to ‘storno’ the event somehow early on, in favor of playing the same Robbie Williams song over and over again, which is what he’d been doing anyway. But we fought for our right to party:

and when the ball got rolling there was no stopping us:

The place filled up, we sang until the wee hours got fat and the owner was ecstatic. Even Mary, who hates both mikeFEST!™ and karaoke managed to have a great time. Too bad the bar will probably only last another month as they will now inevitably raise their beer prices and actually expect us to go back. Which we probably won’t, but that’s just another tradition. Breaking with tradition, however, I managed to get Andrew’s book safely home for the first time in twelve years. Nice not have to go out and buy it the day after.

Thanks to Jiffy and Steve for organizing/working/singing/drinking and to Sue for the cupcakes. Really fun/tasty respectively.
