Something Someone Should Bring to Karaole's Attention

If she is awake/coherent...

It Doesn't Matter What you Call Him

It has been a while. Many things have changed in the world but few of them have occurred within Karaoles. There is one notable exception: while we have been away a new force has moved in. It describes itself by many names and riddles, but we are invited to "call me 'Z'". 'Z' seems harmless enough until he notices there's a "womans" among you. Luck would have it, we had such a womans tucked into our huddle of "mens". Perhaps that is what drew 'Z' to us: to many "mens" and in too small a space to not contain a "womans" (?!).

"Zuver=Chris", "The Count", "My Mother's the Orthodox"... it doesn't matter what you call him as long as you don't call him "Late to the Party". 'Z' likes to celebrate life and embrace it fully... regardless of whether you want to be embraced by 'Z' or not. And if you shy from being embraced, then he can do you one better... He will offer to buy you unwanted drinks! THAT is the kind of guy 'Z' is.

Don't feel bad for shunning 'Z' because... a. He will not notice that you are or at least act like you are. And b. there is always a party to be had somewhere else in the room.

Here's to you 'Z' - just stay over there.

Jimmy was conspicuous in his absence. He apparently is having trouble "gittin' his medicines right" according to Mrs. Jimmy. The Doctors are "tryin' to get the levels right". A lot of the medical technical stuff went over my head, but let's hope he is better soon and back at the helm.

Otherwise not an exceptional night... lots of EMO Thespian Hipsters. Some may have been in actual costume in addition to actual ironic costume. Lots of cross-decade fashion references where worn and lots of smirks were exchanged in their celebration.

Some guy "got the Led Out" - as Mr. Brett observed and attempted WHAT IS AND WHAT SHOULD NEVER BE with mixed results and even more mixed reaction from the "audience"

Also next week is the last week for K this year... Matchbox Kenny let us know several times. So no Kristmas Eve K for you!

Until next time, all you mens and womans take care... and avoid 'Z' at all costs.

THE LINE UP

The Alien: (chose to sit this one out)
Rhonda: (chose to sit this one out)
Ryan: (chose to sit this one out)
Mr. Brett: GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY (inspired and well received choice)
Chris: OH BOY, OKIE FROM MUSKOGEE

See you next year at K's

Staring blindly into space

(Inspired by 25 OR 6 TO 4 by CHICAGO)

Waiting for my chance to K
Searching for something I won't slay
Flashing lights against my eye
Giving up, I close my eyes
Should I try to sing some more?
December 10th and I've done three or four


Staring blindly into space
Going to Hell to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wond'ring how much I can take
Should I try to sing some more?
December 10th and I've done three or four

Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something I won't slay
Waiting for my chance to K

December 10th and I've done three or four
December 10th and I've done three or four


Who want's to K NEXT R (this December 10th) @ K's
