Lately it seems like I’ve been harping on three things: Karaoke you can take the kids to, Karaoke that’s early enough that I can get to work the next day, and Karaoke in the booming Bishop Arts District in North Oak Cliff. Meatloaf sang “Two out of Three Ain’t Bad”, and he’s right — the [...]

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 [...]

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 originally posted this review to my KHYI-Fans email discussion list, an unofficial forum for fans of indie alt.country station KHYI 95.3 The Range. My fiancée Bibi (yay!) and I went to the Susan Gibson concert at Poor David’s Pub last Friday (February 11, 2011) — it was the first time I’ve been to the [...]

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 [...]
