Tina's Annual Karaoke Report

LV is a good city for finding many karaoke venues. I've marked the ones
that I'm personally familiar with that are t*-friendly, plus listed a
few others that are just plain interesting. (Some people arrive early
or stay over after DLV on business and even go to karaoke in, gasp,
boy-mode.)

We have one official karaoke event on the 2003 DLV calendar (late night
Wednesday at Goodtimes), but I have been known to sneak away to sing at
other times. Other DLV girls do it too, honest, Mom!! Just let me know
if you wish to indulge.

FYI, karaoke is always secondary to other DLV activities. Addresses and
directions to most of these places are in Annie's big mailing, while
others are extremely well-known (e.g., Barbary Coast), thus in the phone
book. This info is merely provided as a public service announcement.
While I was able to confirm most of these by phone over the past
weekend, all such things change, so always call first. :-)

Other good sources of LV karaoke info are:

Hi Monique,

We may drop in there later Monday night. Right now, the published plan
is to meet at the Spotlight on Sahara Ave. (there at the Commercial
Center) after dinner for a Happy Hour and check the place out. We don't
have any formal late night action planned yet. We're going to see who
shows up at Spotlight and what they want to do. If the people who show
up are adventurous, we'll do something bold and out there. If the
people are in a stay-at-home mood, we may just stay put at Spotlight or
eventually migrate to Flex if people want to sing. Although you and I
love karaoke, not everyone is such a big fan, so the Spotlight plan is
to be spontaneous (that's right, planning to be spontaneous) and be
receptive to what the girls who come to Spotlight want to try.

And thanks for giving me the chance to re-emphasize that the Annual
Karaoke Report is just background info for karaoke addicts like you and
me. All that info is never intended to elevate karaoke to the level of
our normal DLV activities (except of course for our Official Karaoke
Event at Goodtimes at 10:30 PM on Wednesday night, wear your Red Shoes).

See you soon,

-- Tina
