Until this past weekend, my experience with karaoke had been exclusively in the privacy of someone’s home or (Korean-style) a room full of friends.

Let me just say that one of the Yelp! reviews for this place includes this snippet: <\/p>\n
Now I am not the type of person that usually sings karaoke. i guess i am what you would call tone-deaf, but at Rick’s the people are so supportive and nice, that i feel comfortable going up and singing my little heart out to my favorite go-gos songs!<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There were a couple of standouts that night, but most of the performers were of the tone-deaf variety.

Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
