The Non-Karaoke Karaoke Party

Well, Cara is now 26 and to celebrate we wanted to do something different than the usual night of bar hopping. So to be different, we decided to have a karaoke and cookout party with a few friends. It sounded great in theory, but it just never quite took off like we planned.

First thing, there was no cookout due to a long story involving a certain dog chewing off a vital piece of my grill. The dog will go unnamed...

Second thing, there was no karaoke!! We have two karaoke machines and per Murphy's Law neither of them worked. Our newest karaoke machine was working just great up until the time Cara and co. arrived here. I had been jamming and testing it out, but when we wanted to get the singing started the machine would not read any kind of CD. So I tried to switch to the old machine we had on standby and it would not even spin the CDs so they could be read.

So we had to fall back on just talking and hanging out with friends and it seemed to work just fine. We should probably do things like that a lot more... :-) Everything else worked out greatly and there was the hugest cookie cake ever for everyone to share. There's still a ton of it left and I just might have to eat a lot of it.
