Karaoke Dreams

3 Minute Superstar

Published on January 7, 2004 By crimson In Music

My women's basketball team (Chicks With Balls) is having another fundraiser. Last September, we had taken over The Spill, hired some great women DJs and had a smashing time while raising money for court costs. (You'd be surprised to find out how many people thought we were raising funds for our defense in the judicial system rather than renting space at the local high school gym!)
This January we are going to have a Karaoke Night, which brings up some troubling issues. In no specific order they are:
-is it fair to ask people to pay a cover to hear a bunch of drunk b-ball girls sing "I'm a Rhinestone Cowboy"?
-How many people would rather pay a cover not to hear a bunch of drunk b-ball girls sing "I'm a Rhinestone Cowboy" instead?
-Is requesting a costume theme in conjunction with Karaoke just asking a bit much?
-How many people just cringe when even considering a Karaoke event?
I thought so.
Oh well, it's all in the name of good fun, I guess. My only remaining concern is this; I know I am going to get pressured/suckered into going up to sing as well. What the hell do I do?

I would say the costume theme is too much but I bet the karaoke would be fun. BTW, Chicks with Balls is hysterical! I love it! If you go up to sing, just have fun. As the old saying goes "sing as if noone is listening." If eveyone is drunk, they, and possibly you, won't remember it anyway
