Wellington Karaoke Night?

[StoneChucker]

Well, I'd heard talk of the possibility of all us Wellingtonians (and surrounds) going to make fools of ourselves, at a Karaoke bar.

I've asked around, and it seems "K Bar" somewhere in Wgtn CBD is a rather good place? I remember CSL saying one was pretty seedy, hope it wasn't that one. So, how many of you would be up for it?

Dave

[James Deuce]

May clouds of midges follow you for the rest of the year, for suggesting such a barbaric practice.

Get thee hence!!










Go on, bugger off












Will there be beer?

[StoneChucker]

Will there be beer?
Oh god I hope so, the whole idea scares the crap out of me. I think I'd need some Dutch courage, and someone to push me up... Oh, and the majority of the people there to participate aswell.

[Hitcher]

I don't care where
As long as there's beer!
Anywhere's fine
But bring on the wine!

[StoneChucker]

Looks like you've already started singing there Hitcher :niceone:

Ummmmmm - yes that was the place. Just hang onto your handbags ladies & no-one needs to worry about even putting their teeth in, please make sure you wear your best sweat shirt though or your white pants & balck g-string. :spudbooge

Make it so! :banana:

[Velox]

Hmmmm. I'm not a karaoke fan I have to say. I'd pop in for a drink and a chat but I'd run off if anyone tried to get me up the front.

[Racey Rider]

Aways wanted to try karaoke. :yes:
But timing and Cashflow would dictate if I could be there. :(
If someone was to organised one in Hamilton, or Tauranga, that would be easier for me to attend. :spudbooge

Steamboat is another alternative.

[Blakamin]

Yeah... why not???... i'm in! :shutup:

[F5 Dave]

I'll be in for a drinking session, but buggered if I'd sing. Bec is real keen on that, but the problem is the music they play is just painful.

How about just a session at the Southern Cross (or whatever it is called these days, oh yeah, Zebos) garden bar in nice weather.

:drinknsin :drinknsin :drinknsin

forget the singing though.

The music that they play may be painful but the videos that go with them are absolutely hilarious!!! Really really badly made "video-overs".

[bungbung]

Yes for Sunny Zebos/Southern Cross action.

[jrandom]

Speaking as a regular winner of drunken PS2 SingStar competitions, I can say that, were I in Wellytown, I'd happily turn up and participate.

I'd be on my own, though; Sarah has made a vow never to accompany me to a karaoke bar, ever again.

In any case, I'm up here, not down there, so I'll just have to be with you in spirit.

[StoneChucker]

Where is Zebos/Southern Cross?
I'm not sure I like the sound of this, I work at Southern Cross :eek5:
Is it a Karaoke Bar?

[bungbung]

Where is Zebos/Southern Cross?..:eek5:
Is it a Karaoke Bar?

The Southern Cross is a pub on Abel Smith Street. The back bar is called Zebo's and has a fantastic beer garden.

Unfortunately there is no karaoke :sneaky2:

I didn't think it had karaoke...Awesome place for up and coming nz bands tho...some of me mates play there regularly...all types of music too.

Very cool place :)
Cheap alcohol most nights too, if I remember correctly :)

[F5 Dave]

Doesn't have karaoki?

That's the point! Good place for a KB arvo drinkie session.

My thoughts exactly, nothing like karaoke to clutter up a quiet afternoon at the pub

[StoneChucker]

My poll wasn't "who wants to go drink beer" :msn-wink:
Ok, so I'm guessing we should organise a night out at Southern Cross/Zebos sometime, or maybe after work drinks?

But I think a Karaoke night, like the poll/topic suggests, might be fun. It's all about over coming fears :lol: Then it's just skydiving, and, err, a few other things we won't go into just now.

All in good time though, preferably after i get my wheels back.
Dave.

[Ms Piggy]

I'm reviving this thread - partly b/c I'm at work and bored and also b/c I think Kareoke would be a laugh! Those who don't wanna sing could just come along and laugh at those of us who do.

The snag is I'm going away and won't be back until 14th Feb (I expect dozens of roses to be awaiting me at the Ferry Terminal btw).

I was talking to a certain persons partner on the weekend and she was very keen to have a night out doing Kareoke.

C'mon team - it would be a hoot! :yes:

[NC]

If you build it (and have heaps of booze) they will come.

[Skunk]

Pick date and post it. (I AIN'T SINGING :sick: )

[Ramius]

Pick date and post it. (I AIN'T SINGING :sick: )

Yes, I like this idea, I shall amaze and awe you with the crapolla standard of my singing out of tune style. Prepare to be rocked by the skill I don't have. :whocares:

[Coyote]

(shudder) Bad Memories of Karaoke

[Hitcher]

Did somebody say "Beer"?

"Beer with tequila chasers"?

[Sparky Bills]

Well, I'd heard talk of the possibility of all us Wellingtonians (and surrounds) going to make fools of ourselves, at a Karaoke bar.

Why on earth would you want to put Wellington through that!!!? :brick:
What have we done to you? :blink:

Beer sounds good though.

K Bar? are ya sure you heard that one right?

...I've got something to put in you...

[Riff Raff]

I'm getting seriously worried about you Welly lot!!!




Mumble mumble, but then I have been known to occassionaly sing very badly at karaoke bars, mumble mumble mutter

[Skunk]

I'm getting seriously worried about you Welly lot!You've mentioned this worry before.
Have you raised your concerns with the appropriate people? Say, your psychologist? :lol:

[sels1]

There is another option......I believe you can hire JUKEBOXES (ahem) that you can do Kareoke on. Just need someone to volunteer a venue and byo lotsa beer

[ajturbo]

this may be a safer option....... :ar15: , but there would have to be a good insurance cover for the jukebox..... once i start singing you will want to put a end to it! :sick:

Safe! No way! We wanna inflict ourselves on several people! Sounds like we have a lot of keen people here and if ya don't wanna do Kareoke ya don't have to.

How about when I get back from my trip we set a date and a pub to meet at and then from there (when we are all sufficently liquored) we can go to a Kareoke Bar! :yes:

So how about the weekend of the 18th/19th Feb or 25th/26th?

andy

now a place to stay......... :ride:

[PhilBilly]

Nope it aint a karaoke bar, not a bad place for a drink though. You can hire out karaoke rooms at a place so ya dont have to worry about singing in front of people except for the group you are with. Have to find out name of it and ill let ya know

There is 1 place I'll never go to again in the Willis St village, just really poor service and very dodgy loos. But I had heard there was somewhere else in town.

talking about dodgy loos....
you should have seen one of the one's that i had to use in Mexico....
the walls were painted green and red......
looked like some one had thrown up every where. then slit his/her wrists, and sprayed the walls...... i didn't sit down in that one.....
but they did have 3 beers for the price of one......... :devil2:

[Ms Piggy]

Ok so is there enough interest to go ahead (remember the idea is drinks then Kareoke)?

Is the 25th of Feb too soon or is a later date better, say the 15th March?

:wari: Get on ya glad rags and get ready to make a complete fool of yourself!

I don't think I actually could get up and do it infront of everyone :confused: And as for karaoke, I feel the same way. I fear that however much I wish I were the next pop sensation, I'm not :spudwhat:

[StoneChucker]

Is this actually going ahead? Remember, I said I won't have the balls to go through with it so you aren't gonna get me to do it on the night either! :shake:

But I'll come and watch for sure.

PS: LOTS of alcohol may change my mind.

Well judging by your poll there seems to be enough interest. :banana: Plus Jazbug may be back by then and we can't have Kareoke without her!

[Ms Piggy]

Ok people listen up!

:wari: :banana: Date for Wellington KBers Kareoke evening: Saturday 12th of March. :banana: :wari:

This won't be changed. Suggested itinerary:

Meet at the Hotel Bristol at 8pmish - play some pool, drink some piss :apint: etc, etc. Then...when all feeling suitably sozzled head down to K Bar (?). If anyone knows a better Kareoke Bar please suggest it.

You can come afterwards & tell us all about it in detail you lucky baaaaasatard!

[PhilBilly]

!2th march? cool with me, ill be there with bells on. :banana:

[Drunken Monkey]

Maybe someone should organise a SingStar*tm competition for the big Waikato Rally - If someone brings a PS2 and big boom sounds, I'll bring a projector...North versus South, brother against brother...

Man, I can't beleive I just said that...

[crazylittleshit]

Are you all fucken mad
A: singing?
B: 12 march? crusty demons. :spudwave:

[F5 Dave]

Yeah I wanna go Crustys, but not organised. How much & where & where tickets?

Maybe KB crew go out for drinks after?

Bec is keen to go singing though, I could leave her with youse lot & catch up later.

[hobdar]

Damn to sing or not to sing..that is the question......

Last time i did Karaoke i was drunk and wearing a kilt.......and surrounded by army bloke and bloketts and someone puked on my SD shoes.........opps i digress

Could be interesting.. [have to ask Mrs Hobdar if i am allowed out to drink piss and sing] :yeah:

:apint:

[Ms Piggy]

Damn to sing or not to sing..that is the question......
Actually that isn't the question at all. Kareoke is optional, drinking compulsary! :apint: :apint: :apint: :apint: :apint: :apint: Those who don't wanna sing their little hearts out can come and laugh at those who do :2thumbsup

[Ms Piggy]

Oh crap! I've just realised I already have another drinking engagement ton the 12th March! I'm going on a wine trail that day :2thumbsup

Depends what time you mean? Since you have been the driving force of late, I don't think anyone else is going to come, if you don't...

Hell, I was only coming since you seemed so keen, I really am in two minds about this drunken singing :apint: :banana: :confused:
