I Just Had This Really Weird Dream…

by rachaelgking on December 6, 2008

That I went to the dive-iest of dive bars in DC last night, with the group of coolest people ever…

and then completely humiliated myself singing karaoke.

Not once.

But TWICE.

For everyone who was in ear shot, please let me apologize… profusely.

Also, I had a blast. Let’s do it again soon.

Mama said share.

1 A fair fairy December 6, 2008 at 4:45 pm: I didn’t even have the notion dive bars could do karaoke? Are you sure you were actually doing karaoke or just singing by yourself… twice..
2 Malnurtured Snay December 6, 2008 at 9:27 pm: There was a great dive bar in Baltimore — Molly’s Public House, in Remington — that used to do karaoke. I miss that place (not so much the awful singing, sorry Molly!)
3 LiLu December 7, 2008 at 12:11 am: Fairy: TRUST. It happened. Sadly enough…

Malnurtured Snay: Dive bars are my fave. I’m going to stick to the ones without microphones, howev.
4 Brett December 7, 2008 at 1:20 am: Um, that was not humiliation. Does anyone recall me crashing someone’s Baby…One More Time? Cuz that was damn fun. And you are a Sweet Caroline.
5 Lisa December 7, 2008 at 1:40 am: You were lovely. And in that dress? You looked like a HOT Christmas present! Must be worn multiple times during the holiday season!
6 fiona December 7, 2008 at 4:05 am: You didn’t tell us what you sang??
7 Pseudonymous High School Teacher December 7, 2008 at 4:48 am: I would like to dream me belting it our like Aretha or Tina. Oh what fun, I think I’ll take a nap.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.
8 Smart Mouth Broad December 7, 2008 at 12:49 pm: Sounds like great fun! I only sing in my car and the privacy of my own living room (when no one is around) This is done for the protection of all concerned. *sigh*
9 LiLu December 7, 2008 at 2:47 pm: Brett: Thank you, dear.

Lisa: Oh, it will be. I bet I could even pull off some jingle bells on the belt… then I’d really be “There with bells on”!

Fiona: Please, don’t make me relive it. Let’s just say I am wayyy too white to have pulled it off.

PHST: Mmmm… nap time… my favorite!

SMB: If only I was as considerate as you.
10 Liebchen December 7, 2008 at 10:02 pm: I’m so sad I missed this. I’ve been dying to find someone to karaoke with. Don’t tell me you’ve given it up…
11 charlotteharris December 8, 2008 at 1:28 am: I knew you said Karaoke! You tried to pretend you said Kerry. I should have known better and stuck around for the show
12 Heidi December 8, 2008 at 3:56 am: what did you sing?! where did you sing?!

you see i have a thing..for karaoke in dive bars…it’s a bad habit. it’s been in check since 2006 but every once in a while i like to break out the vocals again in front of a packed room of strangers.

i make no claim to actually being good…but i’ve certainly heard worse.
13 freckledk December 8, 2008 at 4:38 pm: Ass-smacking fun. But you should have taken your clothes off.
14 FoggyDew December 8, 2008 at 5:22 pm: It was the performance of a lifetime. Truly it was.
