thekaraoke

you had to know this one was coming: in the very land of karaoke, it was only a matter of time before thejayfather succumbed to the temptation to raise the art to a new level. after spending so much time practicing Tom Jones at Loma Linda parties, i finally got the chance to beat the natives at their own game.

or something--i'm still a terrible singer, but i do enjoy it so; lucky for me there was a party at the local Shidax karaoke hall last November. unfortunately, the reason for the party was the departure of our good friend Linda, who returned to Canada in December. in her honour, and with gratitude, i present these pictures of our experience:


clockwise from top left: It's Not Unusual for me to torture the mic with a little Tom Jones; our church friends Yui and Aiko break out the J-Pop hits in typically V-for-victorious style; Linda and Jill fight back with some Engrish tunes--probably from the 80s; and finally everyone made up so that we could get a phone-cam picture before we were thrown out on the street for having a good time without sake.
