OHFH Karaoke Edition @Public 11/11/2009
OK, by now you are probably wondering what a picture of me dressed up in a blue bunny fur coat and a cowboy hat is doing in this article. Well the CT TweetCrawlers are meeting at Public’s in Middletown Wednesday night for Karaoke and I thought I would present a challenge. If we can get 25 people to vote in the poll to get me on the stage in this getup (My Halloween Costume) and donate $10 to Operation Home for the Holidays, I will do two songs dressed like this. Since I am mostly bald shaving my head would have been a bad fund raising idea at best.
So please pledge your support in a comment attached to this article and vote on the sidebar poll. I am looking to raise a mere $250, but would like to do better. In order to get more people to attend please go to the Facebook Page for this event and invite your friends and direct them to this post to pledge their support. You can also post a link to this article on your Facebook page or use Twitter, the more the merrier. Public is one of the best night spots in Middletown and is always a lot of fun, please come and join us. Also remember that the “Open House to Bring Them Home” Party is now free this Saturday. Below are the details and links for both events, we hope to see you there.

You have my vote AND my $10, you know what, you get on stage in that and I’ll give $20 Scratch that, make it $30
Steve don’t worry it’ll be YouTube worthy, but spread the word, we need more votes.
How many times can I vote? Count this a big, fat YES.
Hah! Yes!
Absolutely! Now, let’s talk about the songs. Your fans really should get to pick…
Umm No I have a few I can do that won’t scare people away, but feel free to pick one if you get up and sing it with me.
ok in that outfit I will pledge ten dollars! but the songs have to be good ones anyone got a good idea for songs?
@2ndot – Michael Lawson
o no sir you cannot drag anyone into this its you singing and you alone!
I only see 5 votes on the poll so unless you people commit nobody is getting up there…
Thank you, Lisa. The nerve of trying to get me up there with him! Now, I say we need at least one Aretha Franklin or something. Billie Holiday?
Haha we won’t collect any money if people are running screaming from the building, we could have people donate to not to hear me sing. Lol
Count me in for a vote and $10!
Sorry kids, Susan and I just don’t do Karaoke. Have fun, and Michael, do indeed pimp out as far as possible. I suggest James Brown’s “Superbad” or considering the theme “Get on up, Get into it, Get involved” but you will need someone to do the “Fred” parts for the latter.
You can now all donate directly by Credit Card or Paypal using the ChipIn widget on the page.
Don’t know if we can make it but we’re in for $10 a piece. If we’re not there our vote is Diana gets to pick the song!
I think I’m going to put a list of what I can actually sing…
I have 100 songs on my Zune in a Karaoke Playlist I just have to figure a way to post it.
OK working on a shorter list here: http://blip.fm/2ndot
For 10 bucks, I want a lap dance. Since I can’t make it, please have Suzi get this for me. I’ll send the cash on when she delivers it. (Or even if she doesn’t.)
OK Tom no problem, sorry you can’t make it.
I vote for lollipop:

George I could do the pop noise… Lol
Whatever we pick, it needs to be humiliating.
I just want to thank George and Rachel for their donations online (you can always count on the Techies). Diana I have one warm up song and two really good ones that match the outfit, I promise you will enjoy them.
Count me in for the $10, I’ll even sing with ya!
Thanks Bonnie, this should be fun all my songs require audience participation. LOL
Great time tonight too tired to work with the video but thanks everyone for supporting me.
Greg thanks for your donations, I’ve been uploading the videos to YouTube and sharing them on Facebook. I want to write a follow up article so they will be posted here as well. Yhanks again everyone.
