Thanks to Paul Brown for stopping by Rock Lobster last year and recruiting me. National Mechanics is a fun place with a great crowd. They also have an interesting menu. It's gourmet food, and it's drunk food. It's light and it's heavy. It's contradicting and synonymous. 34 beers with 18 on tap leaving 16 in bottles Don't let the name fool you. It's really a bar and restaurant. They used the original name of the building when it used to be the National Mechanics Bank. I love the spacious singing area. Plenty of space to move around while you are singing. Tuesdays karaoke has a great crowd and everyone is super nice. If you're looking for a fun Tuesday (and who isn't?) swing by and sing a song or two. Check out their website:	McGillin's Olde Ale House is a fun place to hang out. It's also a HUGE open space! Mary Ellen and Chris Mullins, and Kate Newcomer are great people to work for. I'd especially like to thank them because this coming December will be my 10th year hosting karaoke there. We started out just doing Wednesdays, then a year later added Fridays and now we've added Sundays! Great food at a low price, cheaper than cheap drinks and KARAOKE! When sports are not on we put the lyrics on the giant screen TV. On Wednesdays and Fridays the place gets packed and it takes a little time to get a song on, so I suggest you come early. Sundays are more tame and it's easier to get songs in. Check out their website:	The Happy Rooster is a small place but big in fun when it comes to the Thursday karaoke. The Happy Rooster leans more toward the elegant dining side as restaurants go but you can still get a burger and fries. The splendid Brazilian rosewood bar, embellished with two antique brass lamp posts and a brass floor basin, offers a selection of premium liquors and a concise, yet diverse, wine list. Yes, they have BEER! If you are looking for a karaoke on Thursday and like a cozy environment come on down to the rooster. You'll have a great time! Check out their website:	Located in the first floor of the Radisson Plaza-Warwick Hotel on 17th Street just off Rittenhouse Square, Tavern 17 puts a modern spin on the classic tavern. The 170 seat interior features leather and wood, giving a warm, yet sophisticated feel to the restaurant. Vintage timber flooring, candlelight, shades of cream, cinnamon and chocolate, combined with clean, uncluttered sight lines, add a certain elegant and timeless quality. With its menu, Tavern 17 focuses on what it calls “artisan flights and bites” — a creative selection of miniature entrees, mix and matchable, with flights of cocktails, beers and an array of wines — of which you’ll find 17 classic reds and 17 palatable whites. And that’s just for starters. Flights and bites offer an accessible, high-quality alternative to the oversized portions that can typify so many restaurant menus. It also allows for a lower price and gives customers a fun, group experience through sharing.

Why does Joe charge to sing Paradise by the Dashboard Light and American Pie?

Because they are both really long songs and in my 15 years hosting karaoke hardly anyone can sing them. Rather than just removing them from my songbooks, I made the option of paying a small fee to sing them.

Sticks and Stones.

So a few years ago this local magazine writer comes to Locust bar (back when Jake was there) around 11:30 at night. Those of you that went there know that I have a ton of requests by 11:30. He demands to sing suggesting that the people that he heard sing so far all sucked. I told the guy that I don't know how HE sings because I never heard him before, and if he did sing, the others in the room might think HE sucks. Well he submits his song anyway after I explained there is now way I'd have time to play it because I have people that were there for an hour before him still waiting. So, midnight swings around and I am off the clock. This writer gets all pissed he didn't sing and throws a beer glass to the floor, breaking it and exclaiming the place sucks and he's never coming back. Jake was like "good, don't".

Now, whenever this guy writes anything about me it's always bad. I wonder how he would have felt, if he were one of the people I had to bump, to play someone else that had insulted the other singers. I guess you have to kiss the ass of the local press (even when you don't know who they are in the first place) to get a good write-up.

It's also amazing that his opinion of me is vastly different that the opinion of so many on the internet, and in publications other than the one he works for . Next time he goes for dinner and karaoke I suggest an order of sour grapes, to go.
