Another rockin' night at Kenny's! As always, 'the gang' was happy to see each other.

Ryan started us off with "Low"; then special requested Marky Mark to sing "Oh Boy"; and I did a song I had only done once before -- "Since U Been Gone" - was way fun! Selene in her new 'Hot Topics' dress (it should have been one of the 'Hot Topics' on The View -- whew!), belted "White Rabbit"; Christina G. sang "Roam"; DanniMac sang "Free Falling"; and Steve wowed us with "Saturday Night's Alright for Fightin'"!

Rockin' Robin rocked out "Magic Man"; Colin sang some Al Green; Steven rocked out one of John D.'s favorites, "Man in the Box"; Randy Andy wrote in my blog ntbk., "Wow. Doesn't Andy rock!!!" Yes, he does rock! Even if he did say before I left, "Hey Latour, I'm hungry - how 'bout getting us some food!" To which Andrea reprimanded him first, by givin' him a little slap upside the head w/her bare hand, then graduating to using various bar items... not sure if I'll be ordering a martini anytime soon...
