KooKoo for Karaoke

As you may or may not know, we’ve recently become obsessed with Karaoke. One mans cheese is another mans cheeseburger. Now before you laugh, there are a lot of reasons why we love this so much. First, it was something we both got to be new at. When you date later in life your interests are pretty much full grown, so if they’re not the same it makes it hard to plan something you’ll both enjoy, rather than one conceding to the other just because you love him/her. Walker is great about being up for new things and scenes, so when I mentioned karaoke, he was hesitant but willing. Actually I’d been popping in on my own while he was working nightside and I think his curiosity finally got to him – either way, he was game. And voila! Our love for karaoke was born. There is another reason we love it so much – because people intrigue us. Both analytical by nature, we love to see the way karaoke blossoms peoples personalities. If you’ve experienced karaoke w/us before, you know the myriad of folks that come to our little haunt. You got old people and young people, great looking people, and mousy looking people, hip and not so hip – but karaoke is a place where everyone is accepted and everyone encourages each other to be brave and try that new song, even if you can only hit two of the notes. It’s not always pleasant to listen to; but it is so pleasant to see the way people come out of their otherwise squeamish shells, and take a jab at being outgoing. For a city where so many are away from home it’s a great stand-in family, and one that we look forward to seeing each week.
