Winner from this week's karaoke contest is posted.  I must admit that I've never hear the Leader of the Pack [mp3] sung with quite this inflection before.

Don't forget -- this week's winner will be the final contestant for the August 30th grand prize contest -- the winner earns a limo driven tour of all Lion and Rose pubs in San Antonio, $50 worth of food and drink at each location, and $100 cold hard cash.  Then we start this 8 week contest all over again!  What's not to love? 

Hope to see you this Thursday!
 

When we first moved to San Antonio, we tried attending some of the local meet-us for rennies, and we decided they were not the crowd for us.  (And I used to think I could get along with any group of rennies!)  Anyway -- fast forward to a few months ago, and we met some fun people at the Very vodka festival.  Turns out they were members of the San Antonio Parrot Head Club.   Believe it or not -- these folks remind me of most of my rennie friends from MD.  They party with a purpose, and do a lot of events to raise money for charity -- and most of all, they're FUN.  (while the local rennies seem to be mostly depressed, rude, self-centered, humorless Johnny Depp wannabes who wouldn't help their own mothers cross the street.)

We joined the SAPHC at last month's happy hour and attended their charity night golf event earlier this month.  Met lots of folks and had a great time at both events.   Tonight is our monthly happy hour, and I'm totally looking forward to it.   Although I'm bummed that we'll have to leave early due to our karaoke show at the Lion and Rose. 

Speaking of the karaoke show ---
The contest is coming to a close, and we've had some interesting competitors so far.  If you're interested, check them out at MusicByOscar.com.

Although we've done some karaoke and DJ gigs for single events, we held off on anything that would require too much time when we first moved to San Antonio.  But, now that we've been here a year and things have settled down, we can finally get back to the karaoke shows that we loved so much.
So, I'm happy to announce that Oscar and I are starting a weekly Thursday night gig at The Lion and Rose's Park North location on May 3rd. They're a British restaurant/pub that has great food and a fabulous beer selection.
