how could anyone ever get up in front of a microphone on karaoke night at bubs after owen and rebecca’s stirring rendition of “total eclipse of the heart”?

Turn around…

clearly my efforts at complete vocal supremacy (singing wide open spaces with trish) was muted somewhat by the fact they essentially turned off my microphone.

Turn around…

but i tried to redeem that flaccid initial performance with a more timely and thought-provoking duet of audioslave’s “like a stone” alongside patrick chen.

Turn around…

and then that’s where my memory gets quite fuzzy. which is quite alright as there are already about half a dozen friends who’ve blogged about the night to provide you, dear reader, with a myriad perspectives on the night that owen c franklin turned twenty eight.

Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart…

update: karaoke madness in pictures. all your favorite moments, especially that one were i spill beer on myself.

Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there’s only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart!
