Rather than wait forever to write full stories, here are some quick notes from the past few months. Agave, Rockwall Harbor After having a great time at [...]
Quick update: Texas Star turns out to be just as late as everyplace else, nominally starting at 9pm, and definitely not for kids. But it’s still awesome. Karaoke is definitely a late-night activity, at least the way it’s done around here. It’s seen by bar owners as a way to induce patrons to imbibe larger [...]
July was a vacation month, and despite seeing some possible opportunities, I didn’t make it to a Karaoke bar while I and the family were out of town.

If there’s one thing Six Flags Over Texas prides itself on, it’s providing a fun experience for its customers.

The organizers of the first-ever “Balch Springs Idol, Karaoke Style” contest had no idea what to expect.
