"Beverly Hills No-1-2-1-0"

Showtime Shon & The Blogstress

It was a rockin' night at Kenny's! Ryan started out the night with "Low"; Davey Monster sang some Simon & Garfunkel; The Reverend Colin crooned "Let's Stay Together"; Rockstar Richard sang "Confortably Numb"; Michelle beat-boxed to "What's Up"; and Showtime Shon channeled Rod Stewart w/some "Maggie May".

Christine Kern rocked out with "You Outta Know"; 'Kanye East' sang some "Heartbreak Hotel"; Jason D. gave us a 'blast from the past' with "Faith"...

Kanye East & Jason D.

Matt C. sang "Sympathy for the Devil"; Jacob, the opening act, sang "Creep"; Selene was 'in your head, in your head', w/"Zombie"; and I sang some Melissa Ethridge!

Selene - 'In your head...in your head...'

Dylan was in the house, representin' -- singing 'bout his 'American Girl'...

Hey, thanks for the Blue Moon man! ;)

Natalia thanked him, for, uh, letting her pretend she was gonna hit him on the head w/a water bottle...

...and the Reverend Colin concluded with the 'blessing'
"No Woman, No Cry."

And Rockin' Robin & John D. observed.

Brett continued with some 'Plush', by STP (see, I'm hip!); Irenka and her crew were in the house, listenin' to her sing some Bad Company!

Natalia sang a 'way cool' version of "Wonderwall" ("Uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh") Krissy sang some Jane's Addiction; Davey Monster sang "Truckin'"; someone sang "I Touch Myself", though strangely enough, Ryan didn't make a 'dedication joke' to either Kristie Lee, or Andrea...hmmm....

Dancin' w/the Stars...

Oscar rocked out w/"Dream On"; the Reverend and Showtime Shon started the duets with "Lean On Me"; Bran-DONE and Christine Kern sang "Tangled Up in Blue"; Nick dedicated "Sweet Home Alabama" to his daughter; Rockin' Robin crooned to Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl"; Chris from LA sang "My Girl"; and Natalia ROCKED OUT "Heartbreaker"! Props to Joe C.'s solo on lead guitar!

Shout out to the gals from Missouri and Kansas...

Showtime Shon was hungry!

And it looks like a fun time was had by all!

Zach's drink w/two straws...ok, Rockin' Robin and I thought it was for us! Oops...



'Til next Sun...;)

'Family Night' at Kenny's!

Greetings all! It was 'family night' in that it was well, mostly 'family', well, the regulars...

Bran-DONE presented me with 3 cards and asked me which order I thought he should sing them in. I told him, then he gave them to Marky Mark and asked him to shuffle them! Uh, wtf... So, Marky Mark shuffled them, and guess what?! They were in the exact SAME order as what I told him he should do! From then on it was coined "Serendipitous Shuffling Fate"..

...sealed w/a kiss!

Ryan's reaction to the number of cards that were set up on the table, waiting for his own 'Serendipitous Shuffling' went something like this:

"Holy Sh*t!"

During Ryan's opening number, "Plush", John D. and I had a conversation...sort of...about 'STP':

ME
"What is that? Some kind of drug or something?"

JOHN D. "Stone. Temple. Pilots."

ME
"Ooohhhhh, yeah, right..."

JOHN D.
"Just what the heck does that mean, 'when the dogs begin to smell her.'"?

ME
"Beats me."

JOHN D.
"Is 'STP' a drug, ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!"

Anyway... Ben, L.G. and Shon were all in good spirits! Ben even wrote in my new little purple notebook "Ben was amazing from the moment he walked in he owned Kennys!" Modest too...lol!

and, enjoying Kenny's cheese fries for the first time in a long time.

- turns out they opened up the kitchen for Rockstar's comedy show beforehand!

Humongous new menu

Matt C. sang us some Hendrix, Christine Kern sang her 'signature' Bobby McGee; 'Kanye East' (Bran-DONE) sang "Fly Me to The Moon"...hey, wait a minute - THAT wasn't in his 'Serendipitous Shuffle'! Turns out that someone else had already picked "Tangled Up in Blue"...ah, ok then, carry on...

Marky Mark sang his 'signature' "Oh Boy"; Patrick sang another Marky Mark 'signature song' "Folsom Prison Blues"; Showtime Shon entertained with "Imagine"; Ryan, introducing me as "The Paparrazzi", called me up, and I tried another new one, "Dream a Little Dream". Turns out, that was my 96th song title w/Crash Course folks! That's right! Joe C. had said that he thought I might close to singing 100 songs off the Crash Course list, so I did a count, and he's just about right!

Stay tuned for a very special 100th song from the blogstress!
(Details to follow...)

One of the 'Rockstars of comedy' performed during the break - made a very funny Guitar Hero joke! I don't have his name, but here he is w/Richard & Christine:

Anyway, Matt C. sang "Livin' on a Prayer"; Christine Kern sang "You Outta Know"; Bran-DONE tore it up w/"Creep"; Marky Mark sang "Hound Dog"; Oscar sang "Simple Man"; Rockstar sang some Santana"; Showtime Shon and the CCK band gave some awesome harmonies with "Heard It Through the Grapevine"; and Rockin' Robin and John D. sang a duet of "Heartbreaker".

The Reverend Colin made his entrance to 'Darth Vader' music - compliments of Ryan;

Natalia TORE. IT. UP. w/"Proud Mary"...

Nick sang "867-5309"...

...and Leah sang "Somethin' to Talk About", Oscar sang "Zombie"; and Ryan closed out the night w/the little sung "Down", by 311 -- way cool...

While making new friends...

...Colin called for Ryan's, uh, resignation?

Which was signed by many...

...or, by many people w/the same name as Colin...

Props to Ron K. for easing the knots in the blogstress' back from all the note-taking... He says "what, do you sleep standing up?" Guess I had a lotta knots...



...and until Sunday folks, singing out...

The Blogstress ;)

QUOTES CORNER:

-Kristina: "Due to Alans' broken foot, we're going to have to carry Alan around..."
-Alan: "That's why it's called 'carry-oke'" (Insert groan here...)

-Kristina: "Ron K., you're drinking Pabst, through a straw?"
-Ron K.: "Why not? It's a soft drink!"

"Miss Robin if you're nasty..."

Look Ma - real notes! (in a pretty new notebook!)

Your blogstress..."Kris-ti-na La-tour!"

Thanks to Corey Lim, who gave ME a present for HER birthday, my cute little purple notebook, so it will now actually be easier to read my scribble on actual paper, than a paper napkin... Although, I just realized in this picture, that w/the kitchen in the background, it looks like I'm ready to ask you how you would like your burger cooked...

Anyway, Corey Lim put on a heck of a show before Crash Course, and had some yummy food!

Yummy Food!

Who says you can't have your cake...

...and eat it too...

YUM!!!

Ryan started off the night with the popular 80's song, "Faith" by George Michael, saying that he had just DJ'd an 80's costume party...wait...COSTUME?! What was once (though now long ago) considered 'regular-every-day-garb', is now considered a COSTUME?! Does that mean, in another 25 yrs., a 'costume party' could consist of 'dressing up' in Cargo pants, and listening to The Killers? ("Somebody told me...")

Rockstar, who started off with some Santana, would like you all to know that on Sun., June 7th, he is performing at Kenny's in the'Rock Stars of Comedy' showcase, starting at 5:30pm. It'll continue to take place every 1st Sun. in June, so come on down, and have some laughs!

Marky Mark continued with 'Summertime Blues'; I sang another new song - a fave of Mrs. D's, "Jolene"; and Bobby Rappaport sang "You Are So Beautiful", and dedicated it to the Birthday girl, Corey Lim! Awwww....

Christine Kern & Rockstar sang "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around";



Selene belted "I'm The Only One"; Marky Mark and 'Sweet Sweet' Cindy up'd the cute/adorable factor with "Close To You";

'Trooper Ted' & 'Kanye East' continued with the duets and 'brought home' (you knew I was gonna say that, right?) "Bring It On Home"! They also got gold stars for the night, because they brought their own charts for the band...oooooohhhhh....

Then, DanniMac channeled some Clapton; while Ryan sang his own version...I'll leave it at that...

Oh, and uh, Waldo asks...

"Where's Colin?"

John D. and Ben ROCKED OUT "Man in the Box"!!!

BEN:
"La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, Oohh!"

Not to be 'corn-fused' w/Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow..."

JOHN D.
"Won't you come and save me, save me!!!"

Ryan continued playing 80's music in between songs -- Ron K. made us all "Come Together", yeah!!!! Ben sang "Just What I Needed"; and Ryan, following his alarm, promptly ended the first set with "Semi-Charmed Life", then started up the second set w/my fave, "In The End", w/yours truly singing along a little bit...

Another duet in the form of Marky Mark and Corey Lim singing "Dream"; Dylan sang "American Girl",



and Christine Kern had us "Begging You For Mercy".

Alan's cousin Justin was in the house, and sang some Plush; Selene sang "Bobby McGhee"; Corey Lim belted "Total Eclipse of the Heart"; Amy from London sang "Criminal"; then after greeting us 'fake London accent'... 'Ello!' Nick went on to sing "Wonderwall"; and Ron K. sang "Sweet Melissa". And just as I sang "Hotel California", CCK friends Donna & Reggie came in, or rather, danced in - way cool! Good to see you guys! Showtime Shon also tore the house up w/his rendition of "Mustang Sally"!

Rockstar sang "Sympathy for the Devil"; Chris from CA sang "I Want You to Want Me"; Christine Kern sang "Give Me One Reason"; and Selene sang "Harper Valley PTA", which the band added for her 'Mom's! And, in continuing w/the duets, DanniMac & I did a mean "Good Riddance/Time of Your Life", and props to Kristie Lee's beautiful singing to "Time After Time", while I sang harmony!"

That's it for now folks... see you on Sunday, where my eyes will be open, and my ears, uh, will be open too...'cause I'm the Blogstress...

K ;)
