"(Un) Papparazzi"!

Hey folks - sorry, no pics this week -- I charged my battery, then forgot to put it in the camera. D'oh!!

Anyway, "I used to rule the world..." is how Ryan started off the night, quoting Cold Play's "Viva La Vida" -- LOVE that song! Alan's 'Oooh oooh oooh oooh's' were really grand!

Marky Mark started out the night with "Dream"; the Irreverent Reverend Colin sang that he was "Easy..." (like Sun. morning); Selene sang "Beautiful"; and your Blogstress sang a song that has NEVER been picked from the Crash Course list! Here's a 'hint':

KRISTINA
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...Sounds like she's singing...
Whoo... whoo... whoo...
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...Sounds like she's singing...
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo

Was way fun...

FINALLY, the kitchen was open for business! Of course, not knowing this, I had already eaten a full Italian meal right around the corner, right before the start of Crash Course. In any case, I will be looking forward to a nice plate of nachos, or maybe a nice greasy cheeseburger at Kenny's again, very soon!

Oscar sang "Simple Man", and both he and Alan, (for his awesome guitar solo) got a 'Standing O'! Rockin' Robin ROCKED out w/"Heartbreaker"; Showtime Shon, who did an earlier 'jig' for Ben & LG, complete with hat and spoons - would have made a great pic...oh well... Anyway, he WOWED with Alicia Keys; and John 'Diggity' D. (Ryan's new nickname for John D.) sang "Ain't No Sunshine".

Ben sang "Jumpin' Jack Flash'; Natalia ROCKED out w/"Barracuda"; Robert sang "(Sweet) Melissa"; Roger sang "Imagine"; and Ryan's g/f's family from Nebraska (& NY), sat in the back at the 'judges table', while Ryan sang "(Can't find a) Better Man".

Vince, who hasn't been around in a LONG time, (Shout out!) gave us some Hendrix; Selene belted "Crazy Train"; Marky Mark sang "Folsom Prison Blues"; Colin sang "Have You Ever Seen the Rain"; Showtime Shon wowed with 'Mustang Sally'; Rockin' Robin sang "Come Together"; and Nick sang "Semi-Charmed Life".

John D. and Ben ROCKED out "Man in the Box"; Ron K. 'Ron K.'d' "The Weight"; Terri P. gave us some Duffy (Mercy!); Ben sang "Just What I Needed"; and Bobby Rappaport sang "Feel Like Makin' Love."

And speaking of John D., he has a 'way' about him, that wil make you wanna do things in a bar, that you wouldn't normally wanna do, like, uh, he had both Nick and I doing cartwheels! (Though mine was better, lol) I used to do gymnastics, but for some reason, I still felt the need to prove myself, (ok, show off) so, off came the platform sandals, and the next thing I know I was doing barefoot (yuck) cartwheels! Much to the shagrin of Andrea, the bartender, who protested...'oh please don't'... But we did, and we're still in one piece...at least 'til the next time!

Ok then, hopefully I will remember BOTH my camera AND my battery, so I can take some fun pics this next Sunday...see you then!

Quotes Corner:

"Feel Like Makin' Love!" Oh! And that's what I'm singing too!"
-Bobby Rappaport

"Nice to see Alan wearing the same two shoes!"
-Selene, referring to Alan's first 'both shoe-wearing' foray, after his foot surgery.


"Somebody has to drink it."
-Andy, referring to his shot of Johnny Walker Red

"They learned that for me."
-Unknown

Editor's Note: I assume one of the singers said that referring to CCK, but, didn't write down who it was. Maybe, it was because of the shortage of PENS that night!
