It was 'Hostless Karaoke night' at Kenny's w/CCK! At least the 'Zach attack' was back, playin' some tunes in between.

Oh, and they did a great job of putting locks on the women's room doors, and givin' us some soap, yay!!! But, I ponder this for the men...

...um, did 'mis-measure the door?

In any case, enjoy the sideshows w/the captions...recapping last week's festivities!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

Crash Course Karaoke will be celebrating their 4th Anniversary at Kenny's, AND, their 300th show!!! So come out & celebrate on SUNDAY, APRIL 18TH! For the FIRST. TIME EVER...Kristie Lee AND Joe Mitch, will BOTH...BE...DRUMMING throughout the night!!!

A poster I made for CCK, of past & present CCK'ers...

Don't miss the celebration yo...

QUOTES CORNER:

-"You're like butter -- you're on a roll!"
Colin, to Dylan, after Dylan rocked out "Tush", by ZZ Top!

-"You look pretty formal, did you get married?"
-"Uh, no..."
Said to me by one of the patrons at the bar...I guess black is new 'bridal look'...

It was a fun night, even though Selene decided it was THE best time to balance her checkbook!



It's going to be a 'hostless' karaoke for the next few weeks, while Ryan is away -- we'll miss his fun intros...

But in the meantime, come on in, sign up on the list, and get ready to rock, yo...




...and hang out w/the 'gang'!





Stay tuned for the upcoming 4th yr. celebration, of Crash Course at Kenny's!

Another rockin' night at Kenny's! Life has gotten extremely busy these days, but, still want to take the time to give some CCK highlights!

-Selene singing "Hate Myself...", and "You're So Vain", w/a cold, dedicating the latter to Ryan, who somehow KNEW it was about him!!

- John D.'s recording of "This is the Moment", played in btwn. sets.

-Me makin' an SNL reference to "Hand in my Pocket", per Alan's request, which, um I don't think anyone heard, but, I'll call it a highlight anyway...

-For the first time ever, Kristie Lee sang ("Son of a Preacher Man"), while Joe Mitch was on drums!

The crowd went wild!

-Rockin' Robin & I dancing to a mash-up of "Relax", and "Play That Funky Music"


DanniMac's friend(s) from Georgia - The Republic, not the State...


-Joe Mitch & Ryan's duet to "Enter Sandman"


-DanniMac & I 'trashing' the place at the end of the night.

Hope everyone had a Happy St. Patty's Day!

"I'd like to thank The Academy..."

It was the night of the Academy Awards,and Kenny's classed up the joint, complete w/candles on the tables!

So I tried to add to it, by drinking my wine, w/my pinky-finger lifted...


"I say...Cheers!"

While I was TAPING the Emmys...Selene started us off w/some "Bobby McGhee"; Nick, who got there at the earliest ever, lol, sang "Tush", and uh, gave a little curtsy afterward; Corey-Lim sang "Sweet Child of Mine", Rockin' Robin rocked out "Angel From Montgomery"; Dylan sang a new one - "Drift Away"; and DanniMac (welcome back!) sang "Born to be Wild"!




Selene & her Mom sang a duet to "Harper Valley PTA"; Maria sang "Dream a Little Dream"; Ben rocked out "White Wedding"; I played 'musical director' and sang Melissa Ethridge, "I Wanna Come Over", Bran-DOHN did a 'velvetty' "You Send Me"; Joe rocked out "Enter Sandman" yo...



On a personal note, I'd like to thank everyone who helped save me from falling off the stool, and breaking something...no, I wasn't drunk, despite the photo of me drinking wine here... But, I did see the past 4 yrs. at Kenny's flash before my eyes! Which brings me to...CCK will be celebrating their fourth year at Kenny's, in April! Bring it on yo!!!!

Behold the power of purple!

Full Moon Sunday Night!

Does this not look like it was a full-moon Sunday night at Kenny's?

'Nuff said. So consider this a rather abbreviated blog, but I will leave you with this thought:

Deep Thoughts, by John D.

-Michael Buble (Pronounced 'boob-lay'...)

"Need more Cowbell!"

After the two week-long w/drawl -- ok, MY two week long w/drawl from CCK, we were all back in full swing!

There was lots to celebrate on Sunday -- John D.'s birthday; I sang

a(nother) new song; and, well, the 'gang' was back!


"Sistahs!"

I was having so much fun, I didn't take a single note. Yikes! At the time, I thought it was 'all in my head', and usually it is (I'm told)...but now, after the red wine has worn off, some of the details are a bit fuzzy. Shouldn't that be the other way around? Good thing I took lots of pics!

The first thing I noticed when I walked in was Natalie, and her new hair!!! Way cool!!

We were all very glad to see each other!

Let's see, what else -- some songs were sung; some cake was eaten; more songs were sung...

"...In New York...!"

Oh!! And shout out to Ryan's 'moms' Ellyn, who was in town, visiting from my hometown in VA!! You'll have to imagine what she looks like though, as she was being camera shy - as was the rest of Ryan's crew (yo) -- you know who you are...

In celebration of John D.'s b'day, he and Rockin' Robin rocked out a "Dream On" duet, then we all had yummy Red Velvet cake!

"Dream On!!"

Yummy Red Velvet Cake

"Hmm...I wish...

...to sing another song..."

Thanks for the cake Mrs. D., who later rocked out "You're No Good!"


Is that sunburn?
In the middle of February?

Rockin' Robin & Mrs. D.


John D. & Shawn

John D.'s Niece enjoyed the celebration!

One of the night's standouts was Selene on the cowbell, during her (our) song "Don't Fear the Reaper".

But honestly, we think it could've used 'a litte more cowbell'.

Davey Monster modeled his new Sean John coat.

Ron K. in his, uh, very white coat!

Hangin' out yo...

The Reverend Colin should have sang
"These Boots Were Made For Walkin'"

"Yay!! CCK is back!"

Superbowl Sunday Singin'!

Before we get started, there are 3 announcements:

#1.) CCK will NOT be playing next Sunday, Feb. 14th. Kenny's Castaways is having a benefit for Haiti earthquake survivors. Please visit their site for more details: www.kennyscastaways.net

#2.) CCK will be playing next Thursday night, Feb. 18th, from 10PM-1AM, at Kenny's Castaways, for a birthday party, however, ALL are welcome!

#3.) CCK will be playing a Habitat for Humanity benefit on Fri., Feb. 26th, from 8 PM – 12:00AM, at the Knights of Columbus, West Prospect St. & Smith, Waldwick, NJ. http://www.habitatbergen.org/

Ok, now, on to blog business.

It was Superbowl Sunday, which to me, meant, uh, a bunch of guys runnin' around, throwin' a football. I'm hearing the groans already, from you avid football fans. But I did like watching 'Peytie Pie'...
(not pictured...I don't think...lol!)





CCK did a short first set, then broke so everyone could watch the last few minutes of the game.

I gotta admit, that was pretty exciting!

And Dylan and Corey Lim showed their team spirit!

Marky Mark & I got in on the action as well:

I've added another slide show depicting some of the songs sang that night. Selene responded to Marky Mark's "Summertime Blues", by saying "I've got that right now!"

Some of the highlights include me, singin' 'Fever', to Joe Mitch bangin' on the 'skins' yo...THAT was what's up! For those who missed it, or, who just want to view again, check it out - the sound is muffled, but, you'll get the gist:



I'm not sure if this is a highlight, or a quote, or neither...but, according to Dylan quoting a Trivia tidbit from the Philippines, that if you sing "My Way", you have a better chance of getting shot... Um, huh? I think we'll need to see that in writing, and, maybe apologize to Frank, who sang, well, Frank!!!


Another interesting thing from Sunday -- waiting (and waiting) for Mike to finish his phone call before opening the second set.

Quotes Corner:

Corey Lim, singing: "It's been 7 hrs. and 16 days.."
Kristina: "That's alright!!!"

Joan, singing: "...pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans..."
Corey Lim: "What exactly is tane short for?"
Kristina: "Butane"?
Brandon: "Octane."
Dylan: "P**n T**g" (C'mon, it's a PG, and sometimes R-rated blog, lol!)

CCK is back next Sunday, Feb. 21st - we'll see you there!!


Lovely Lilly will hopefully
come back and sing!

COMING SOON! CCK on Facebook AND Twitter!! :)

Peace out!
