It’s hard to find the best Mexican restaurants. Like hole-in-the-wall joints of any cuisine, they’re not flashy — you just have to try a place and see if what they’re doing works. Their best advertising is word-of-mouth. That’s how I found Los Lupes — when Bibi took me there for our first date. The food [...]

Way behind on updates, so I’ll try to run through them quickly! Better with a special friend Almost exactly a year after I discovered how much I like Karaoke, I made a new discovery: it’s even better with a friend! Especially if it’s your best friend, and you’re in love. Bibi’s first time to see [...]

I’ve been away from the blog for a while, and I owe a lengthy post about great times singing Karaoke with someone wonderful — her blog is at gobibigo.com. But I couldn’t go a day without reporting on Dallas’ newest Live Band Karaoke, right smack dab in the middle of Deep Ellum at The Bone. [...]

The plan was simple — I’d go sing at Amelia’s Mexican Cocina in Rowlett, then follow it up with a couple of rounds of Dance Dance Revolution at the Bowl A Rama right down the street. I even called Amelia’s, which has the best Tequila Sunrise in town, to make sure their Karaoke still started [...]

It’s a rare weekend that I get in more than one round of Karaoke, but this weekend was a special case. I’d planned to go visit the new grandbaby, but his mom and dad were having too much fun — grandparents not needed after all. But that left me all ready to go, with nowhere [...]

The anticipation was killing me — after singing a few songs to an empty house at Señor Jalapeño’s, late on a Saturday night, I was *so* ready for the next Friday’s Karaoke night. Just a few blocks from home, in a quiet neighborhood in Mesquite, the homestyle Mexican restaurant isn’t a typical Karaoke venue at [...]

When my mom reported what she saw, I could hardly believe it. Señor Jalapeño’s, the little Mexican restaurant and donut shop on the corner of Town East and Motley in Mesquite, had a sign in the window: “Karaoke Friday and Saturday”. There couldn’t be a more convenient Karaoke location — it’s a half mile from [...]

When I saw that The Cavern on Lower Greenville listed “Karaoke by Carmen” on Tuesday nights, I put it on my mental list of places to check out. It’s next to the final Greenville Avenue location of the storied Poor David’s Pub, a Dallas institution that outlived dozens of its neighbors, but finally relocated to [...]

My company owns something that most others don’t: its building. Almost every business, especially a multinational corporation like the one I work for, leases its space. It gives the company flexibility and a tax write-off of some sort that I don’t fully understand. But the founder of this branch of the company was an old-school [...]

I found the Dallas Karaoke Meetup Group while searching Twitter for local Karaoke happenings. Their meetups aren’t frequent, so it tends to be an even worth planning for. And especially so in the case of the July meetup at Bengal Coast, a South Asian Fusion restaurant in the beautiful office building at the corner of [...]
