Last week part 4

The night was young, so we headed to Karaoke. I had vowed to Matt and Casey that I would sing my very first Karaoke song on board, and so I honored my promise. Fortunately, about 40% of the audience was their family and friends, and they were overly encouraging and kept buying me drinks.

There was a surprise appearance from the grave: Robert Goulet, in all his glory, swooned us with an accapela version of "Rain drops on roses, and whiskers on kittens." I'm always impressed that he can sing with a cigarette dangling out of his mouth.
Here's me and Blanche! Living it up! She helped me a little bit with my song selection.
When they called my name up to sing...I felt more terrified than I believe I ever had. That's right...give a girl with anxiety a microphone....see how that turns out. When I say I much rather jump out of an airplane (with a parachute), I mean it. My adrenaline was pumping...but I managed to poorly belt out "Don't Stop Me Now"by Queen. I can not sing, that is not a talent of mine, but I was enthusiastic...with my hand motions and kicks in the air. By the end of the song, I had a few people up dancing! Possibly the biggest rush of my life.

Right after me, Casey, Bethany, Amy, and Amanda joined group of strangers to sing the last song of the evening.
Then the club opened up and dance party began! So Melissa and Fun Bobby taught Blanche to booty-dance.

You guys are really silly! Hey, speaking of Robert Goulet, did you know there is a new award named for him: "the Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year" award. See the details here: http://www.americanmustacheinstitute.org/MustacheAmericanOfYear.aspx
