It feels almost shameful to have enjoyed so much Karaoke without telling anyone about it! And it’s been on the most unlikely of days: Wednesday and Sunday nights. 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 [...]
In the song “Rocky Mountain High”, John Denver sings about “coming home to a place I’ve never been before”. In a way, that’s what the Texas Star was like. The very first joint where I sang Karaoke was a little dive called One Nostalgia Place, where the drinks were cheap and strong, everyone knew each [...]

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. Though we did see a sign for “Strip Karaoke” at an establishment of ill repute in Hot Springs, Arkansas. I don’t think that would be anything like [...]

It’s always fun to be at the first night of a new Karaoke event — there’s always a surprise in store. A few times, it’s been clear that the gig wouldn’t be around long. Decanter in Bishop Arts, for example — they never promoted the Karaoke event, didn’t work fairly with the DJ crew, and [...]
If I’d had time, I would have written up a preview of this new Karaoke gig, but with kids getting out of school and a horse about to foal, there hasn’t been time. But there was no way I could miss this — the new Thursday night gig with Totally Twisted Karaoke at Decanter Restaurant [...]

I’m trying not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good... I want to do a large-scale writeup of every Karaoke night, but all I end up with for my efforts is a half-written draft on my desktop, and nothing on the blog. So here’s the first installment of a hopefully-frequent blog entry: [...]

I got a quick note from Carmen Gulledge, the fiery Karaoke DJ at The Goat, which I’ve raved about several times. She has a once-a-month Karaoke gig at White Rock Grill, 718 N. Buckner Boulevard in Dallas. It’s the second Friday of the month, so the next time around is this week. And it’s early: [...]

Email may be SOOOO 2007, when all the cool kids are on Facebook, but email is still an effective way to stay in contact. Many Karaoke DJ’s include a spot on their song slips for an email address... but then never get around to sending updates. Bad move! If you’re in business (any business), you [...]

I’ve been away from the Karaoke blog, but not from the scene. And it’s been better than ever, now that we’ve got a whole bunch going with us. I’ve always noticed how much fun it is when a whole table full of friends is cheering on their singer — and now that I’m in that [...]
