But This Karaoke Goes to 11

July 27, 2007 · 12 comments

I was in Atlanta the last few days to hang with all the cool kids at Turner (holy cow! LOTS of people there get new media), but man can’t live by business meetings alone. I was in the company of Jeff Pulver and Amit Shafrir, out on the town looking for a nice place to maybe enjoy the nightlife, and get a drink or seven. Enter: some bar with live music emanating from the basement.

What happens next is amazing. Turns out they’re called Metalsome, and they run live karaoke on Mondays and Saturdays playing metal songs. On Wednesdays, they do 80s music. So, we’ve wandered into a club playing 80s music with a metal tinge, and they want US to sing. I’m game. So I got up on stage and did two numbers.

Please forgive my non-rock outfit. I was dressed for a conference, not a club. : )

what a fun thing to do!!
more awesome that you *did* it
a lot of us would be too afraid to try
you’re an inspiration
even when you’re out having fun

you’re my favorite musician
even when it’s us and the guitar/ukulele combo (that sounds awful but creates a LOT of laughter)

wish i could have been there
i would have thrown underwear or something
or did Jeff do that for me?

I am late to this post, since I am new to your blog, but that looks SO fun. A friend invited me to “Heavy Metal Karaoke” night at The Harp in Boston a few weeks back, but I couldn’t go. I still regret it, I do a craaazy “Sweet Child o’ Mine.”
