Much fun was had during this pub crawl and I just wanted to thank everyone who participated and rub it in on those who missed out.
I have grown to love this town, but only because of the people that I have had the fortune of getting to know.

Big thanks to all who organized participation in the parade and to the bars that supported us with drink deals afterward.
Outstanding finish at Als. (We brought such a strong atmosphere they want to have a weekly karaoke night.) It would not have happened without the extensive connections of Tim Buckingham and the owners of Als letting us use the space. If you had fun, thank them the next time you see them.

My face still hurts from smiling.
Thanks Again,
Henry

Thanks to Henry for pulling together another pub-crawl and having the vision to get karaoke equipment! Unfortunately I was unable to crawl but I did make it to Al’s – Josh, Les and the rest of the crew there also are due big thanks for taking care of us.

Since Saturday I have had Eye of the Tiger, You Give Love a Bad Name and Rapper’s Delight stuck in my head – thanks to everyone who bared their singing soul for the rest of us to enjoy. Keep an eye on Lexrides...there are some videos coming.

Well here it is. I know some of you have been waiting for this and others – mainly those in the video – have been dreading this (pack your bags Brian). The videos are a bit dark but still entertaining.

100% pure class.
Ronk's dance moves made the whole thing so much better.

surprisingly not all that different from the Al's Bar 2007 version.

I know that I was not the only one thinking "karaoke? what the hell is Henry thinking" not realizing the true genius of his decision until that evening. The continual flow of performers (many repeat offenders), the dance moves (especially Ronk's) and the fact the the entire bar - alleycat folks and the regulars - were all pulled into the entertainment. Brilliant pub-crawl finale Henry!
