If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out

Poor Tuesday. He’s always been the odd man out. He’s not Monday so he doesn’t get the hate mail of being day one of the workweek. He’s not Wednesday so he doesn’t get the shout outs for “hump day,” Thirsty Thursday is self-explanatory and Friday-Sunday all make Team Awesome because they usually are synonymous with things like dressing casual, brunch and sleeping in until noon.

Poor Tuesday.

Well, now, thanks to a new night hosted by DJ Joe H. at National Mechanics, Tuesday has purpose. Tuesday is cheap fun for kids surviving a recession. Tuesday is karaoke night.

I know what you’re thinking, karaoke? Really? I understand, I’ve avoided karaoke for most of my 25 years of life but I’m of the belief that anything that is easy on the wallet, undeniably funny and can be paired with alcohol has to be coming back into style in this economic environment. Also take into consideration singing in a place that once housed a church, the acoustics must be banging. Did I mention the wireless mics and the fact that the lyrics are projected onto a big ole screen? This means you’ll be able  to walk around and serenade (embarrass) any friends hiding in the booths and at the end of the bar.

Hooray Tuesday!

And I am hoping I will end up singing embarrassing ballads alongside my own Joseph Gordon-Levitt and he’ll totally fall head over heels for me even if I am a little off on my version of Nancy Sinatra’s “Sugar Town”. What? It happened in (500) Days of Summer, a girl can dream!

Karaoke with DJ Joe H. National Mechanics. 9 p.m. Tuesdays. Do it.

And on a totally unrelated note, since the “About” section of this blog blatantly points out “We also sometimes (read: often) post pictures of cute kittens and ironic T-shirts,” here’s a cute kitten video that is vomit-inducing-adorable:
