Girls Night Out

So tonight I went to a sports grill with my sister and another friend. We ate our nachos and drank our Sprites and lemonades and enjoyed the extremely raucous birthday party going on in the corner. Around 10, the dj duo started setting up for karaoke, and the slightly tipsy patrons became considerably more drunk as they took turns watching and enjoying each other sing off-key country, hip-hop, and R&B songs. It was a lot of fun to observe the women in the short, tight skirts start to sway on their plastic heels, screeching to Fergie and Beyonce, while the men fell into tables and chairs as they tried to catch up to the Eminem lyrics flying across the screen.

Then we each took our turns singing our own songs, which was sort of fun, but I much preferred when the three of us closed out the night with the last two songs by Evanescence and Linkin Park. We had all those sloshed patrons dancing, leaning into our mikes to sing with us, and shouting and cheering by the end of the songs. What a fun way to end the night.

And we're going back tomorrow.
