Make someone else’s home the party place. My friends Kozyndan were away and so the rest of us decided to make their home karaoke central. It’s easy when you have a portable karaoke machine.

The sequence of events from last night: karaoke, dancing in a club, dancing in a VW Golf, dancing in another club, trampolining, singing Depeche Mode’s “But Not Tonight” in the dark warehouse with camping lights, dancing to Italian Eurodisco, and eating 99 cent pancakes at sunrise.

This kind of night only happens when there are no [...]

Topless Karaoke

August 21st, 2010

Made you look. It’s not girl topless karaoke. Somehow after “The Promise” and “It Takes Two,” all the guys were shirtless in solidarity. They were singing “Boys Don’t Cry.”

So I’m starting a new endeavor called the Infinite Garage Project. I’m going to sell 35 years of my parents (and my) belongings over the next 365 days, out of our giant 3 car garage. More of an explanation here.

The best thing about old fashioned bowling alleys, not places like Lucky Strike that serve martinis, is that they are stuck in a time warp, smell like bowling ball grease, and usually have an attached bar with nightly KARAOKE. A few years ago, I held a “triathlon” at this kind of bowling alley where the [...]

I was the Mayor of Sunset Strip

January 12th, 2010

When Angela told me she was having a Rock Band theme party and that we had to come dressed up as our favorite music genre, I was lazy and thought, ok maybe I’ll just wear all black and be Joan Jett because she is badass. So because I am a super procrastinator, the day of [...]
