Skaryoke

Tonight was the 2nd Annual Skaryoke Party and the first one hosted at the Little Brick House. It actually turned out pretty well.  We had an okay turnout.  There were roughly 35 people that attended almost everyone that attended sang.  It was a good time.  The Brick House actually worked out fairly well for the party.  I need to sit and analyse it a bit to see where we might make some adjustments for next year but all in all I felt good about it. 

I told Dave tonight that next year he will be the M.C. from the start.  He is fantastic on his feet, quick and funny.  He just picked it up and rand with it halfway (or more) through it.  Fun times.  Padre handled the sound system and was great.  My Karaoke machine isn't the best and gave us a few challenges but ultimately we did okay.  Over this next year I've got to get dialed in on the discs and make song searching easier for everyone. 

Everyone looked great.  Everyone did great.  It was a fun time to be had by all.  I was going to sing Sweet Caroline but my friend Gary Taylor mentioned singing it so I held off and told him I was saving it for him.  I went forward with Cracklin' Rose which I happen to like but I don't know how many people know it.  Sweet Caroline is a response generator with the crowd.  Very well done. Amy was rockin it all night long. 

I went as Bob Wiley.  I didn't get a picture of myself but I believe Amy got one.  I may have to get a copy from her.  Gil and I managed to make it though Gil got heavier as the night progressed. 

So Skaryoke - one of my favorite parties.  Thanks everyone for your help and for making the party great.
