I’m not ashamed to admit it…I love karaoke. But I am a little embarrassed to say that, when we finally buy our first home, there WILL be a room dedicated to karaoke. I’m not kidding, that’s how much I love singing into a microphone as lyrics trot by on TV! Last night, to celebrate Isaac’s departure back to Hawaii, we went to Chorus Karaoke and Cafe in San Diego. It’s a bit pricey, but worth it just to have our own personal room so I can sing as loud as I want (much to my family’s dismay). Here are a few pics from our fun with karaoke. Afterward, Isaac got Jojo to go clubbing!!! Scroll down for the story.
“At first I was afraid, I was petrified! Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side! But then I spent so many nights, thinkin’ how you did me wrong, and I grew strong! And I learned how to get along!!!!!”
Tambourines go with every song, I love tambourines! If you can read the lyrics in this photo, you might be able to guess the song we’re singing. Here’s a hint…”Spare him his life from this monstrosity!”
I think Jojo is having too much fun. Did you know that Jojo has never once sung karaoke in his life before this night??? I don’t know what got into him, but he actually sang! Maybe it was all the soju.
Look at Isaac go, what a crooner! We will really miss you, Isaac!
Great shot of us. Why is it we never have a decent picture of us where are smiling and looking normal?! Maybe it’s because this is normal for us?
So the story continues. Jojo sings karaoke for the first time, then somehow agrees to go to a bar to celebrate Isaac’s going away. We head to The Office in North Park, which used to be sort of a dive bar with live bands but is now a cleaner, nicer bar/club. We knew the DJ spinning that night and that the music would be excellent (lots of old school, with a bit of 80s, some swing, and some golden oldies). For some reason, Jojo went into the club (a very rare occurence), had a few beers (first time ever in a bar), and danced with me non-stop for 3 hours! That has never happened in his lifetime, I don’t know what has come over him! All I know is that I had so much fun last night. I love dancing, and I just discovered that dancing with Jojo is 10 times better!
The auspicious night continues with a late night dinner at Santana’s in Hillcrest. As we wait for our food, a bunch of guys enter the building. I look up, wondering if I’ll know any of them, and it turns out I know 2 of them! How random is it, that at 2:00am in Hillcrest at a taco shop, I run into a friend who is currently living in Costa Rica and the sushi chef from our wedding last August!?! What a crazy and truly auspicious day!
