The usual Monday morning office routine was interrupted by video clips, embarrassed coworkers and laughter — kind of a nice diversion, actually. The source of all the hullabaloo was a collection of photos and the aforementioned vid clips from a Saturday night karaoke session that some of us braver souls took part in.
The venue for all this excitement was the Carriage House in Brooklyn’s Park Slope neighborhood. Rather nice sports lounge with decent prices on drinks, a couple of pool tables and a wide selection of songs to embarrass one’s self with.
Good friend Joanna was even along for the festivities, freshly back from field studies in Latin and South America. She even received a purple heart during the evening when viciously assaulted by a wine glass to the face during a headbanging episode. For those of you who didn’t know, karaoke has turned into a full contact sport.
In spite of the shattered glass and streaming blood, good times were had by all. I plan to add my blackmail material to the site durring the week in an effort to supplement the fine collection Don already posted.
Also of note, if you’re ever in the mood for some good thai food and find yourself in Park Slope, you’d be insane not to stop in at Rice Thai Kitchen.

well you forgot to mention all the blood shed that went along with my earning of the purple heart. no one better ever say that i ain’t no badass…
Leading the fourth paragraph: “In spite of the shattered glass and streaming blood…”
Anyway, I doubt that anyone would even have the temerity to doubt your bad-assitude. If they did, I’m sure you’d open a can of whoop-ass on them. Pity the soul that crosses Joanna.
well i pity the fool that also comes across my polish moments…
your still should have supplied more supple detail of the blood shed
oh and i forgot to mention that the eye is turning new colors and beautiful hues of pink and purple.. perhaps more of a flowery fusia and passion magenta… (since i was recently told that women have a bigger color vocab than men might as well use it)
Oh sure, criticize the creative process why don’t you. I mean I’m out here writing fresh material and all you can see fit to do is nit pick.
That’s it. I’m done writing now. Everyone thank Joanna — she ruined it for everyone else. ^_^
By the way, if you caught “Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn” last night you would have seen Jim Norton wearing an “Opie and Anthony on XM” T-Shirt. Screw syndication now — the fuckers are beaming from space now! Global domination now!
Full Contact Karaoke! wh00t!!!!
