"Three Cheers for the Red, White, and Blue..."


Eric -visiting from Montreal, & Your Blogstress

Number of hot dogs consumed on July 4th: 150 million


Percentage of American households with outdoor grills: 87



Amount of fireworks sold for public celebrations: 25 million pounds




Number of different CCK songs Your Blogstress has sang over the past 4 years:



That's right folks! Brandon hosted CCK this week, and brought back the 'Wild Card', and because of that, I sang my 100th different song with Crash Course Karaoke!




Kristina (a different one) started off the night with Journey's "Don't Stop Believing"; Matt sang 'Vodoo Chile'; Marky Mark got into it w/"Blue Suede

Shoes";

Ben dialed...I mean sang "867-5309";


and Showtime Shon sang "Summertime"!




Nick sang "Born to be Wild";

Rockin' Robin sang "Before He Cheats";


Olga "Wish(ed) You Were Here";


Tina rocked out "Joy to the World" and Ali sang "Beautiful".

What was my 99th different song w/Crash Course, was "Black Velvet", w/the longest intro ever (my 'bad'), then, the longest (most awesome) outro ever! Alan even stood up - on both feet! It was a miracle - given that he's had to stay seated while his foot heals! That's the awesome power of music folks! ;)


Selene sang "Zombie";

Eddie ROCKED OUT "Sweet Child of Mine"; Freddie, the 'sound man' for the night sang "Woodstock";


Brandon "Saw Her Standing There"; then the 'Wild Card' drawings began!

Kristina (not me) picked "Like a Virgin"; Showtime Shon got "R-E-S-P-E-C-T"; and Ben picked "Fever"; Sarah rocked out "Proud Mary";



...and that's when I picked the 'Jack of Hearts',
which was "Something" by The Beatles, which put me at the '100 mark', of different songs I've sang off the CCK list!

I had originally planned on doing a 'very special' 100th song this Sunday, to celebrate! However, I am now going to sing a 'very special 101st song' to celebrate the start of my NEXT 100 songs! Be there, to witness it!

And another thing we can celebrate -- the fact that the blog will be 1-year old, at the end of this month!


So, to continue w/this past week's recap:

'Non-wild-carders' John D. rocked out w/"What's Up";

Bob Scoffield (long time no see man!) sang Folsom Prison Blues;


Marky Mark sang "Hound Dog";
Bobby Rappaport sang "All Along the Watchtower";


Mick sang "Summer of '69". Mr. John, who was visiting w/his crew from GA sang "My Way";


Ron K. sang "No Woman, No Cry";


Selene ROCKED OUT "Welcome to the Jungle", and Eric sang "Glycerine" by Bush!

Showtime Shon; John D. & I were making up our own 'Wild Card' for Brandon, who ended up picking "Born to be Wild"! A fitting title!



Ok folks, see you this Sunday - get ready to CELEBRATE!

Your Blogstress ;)
