Oh Solo Mio

Unthinkingly I agreed to go to Karaoke in Causeway Bay on Saturday. The evening was convivial, there were buckets of beer (literally) and lots of fun people to sing with.

The only things missing were the good songs. We would search through the meager English song selection, see an interesting artist and go to the song selection to be greeted with songs like

Horrible B side from 1993 you've never heard of

or

Sorry this well known song is being sung by the band "Bumfluff"

Very dispiriting.

The best part of the evening for me was singing arias in the corridor with my friend and it came to me in a flash of clarity that I don't actually need to go to a Karaoke bar to do that.

Get fresh for the weekend....

So having braved the existential hurdle of having a public holiday on a Tuesday (it's Monday today, right? DOH! ), Planet Magic is in high excitement due to the party invite for the weekend.

Only snag is it's fancy dress and the theme is rock legends. Most rock legends are not as challenged in the follicle department as I am so my choices are basically:

Sting
Michael Stipe
Peter Garrett

Otherwise it's wig time, & we all know how sweaty those get.......
