Well I listened to the warden, and shifted the Karaoke BBQ from Sunday to Saturday,
because we were going to have weather on Sunday. Less people showed up, we were down 3 singers,
but the five of us left, in the late afternoon, did kamikaze karaoke. No, not with shots, but you would
put in a disk with 16-18 songs on it, and when it was your turn, you sang the next song. You had one chance to
say nope, hit the next button. that's how I ended up singing Papa Don't Preach. And Yes, we did have weather on
Sunday, and it was great weather. One guy, didn't get the message about the reschedule, and he showed up on
Sunday, we were having the neighbors over again, to help with the leftover food & booze, but I told him no singing,
you missed the one day a year Nadine allows karaoke at the house. This year was the first year the police did not
show up, and we sang till 11pm. but after 9:30 only ballads, no songs like Billy Idol's "White Wedding".
Yes, the weather was pretty stellar for a hurricane. Not even a breeze! Glad your even went well, even with reduced numbers. One benefit to Saturdays, you usually are granted a little bit later with the noise restrictions.
Last year, due to a new noise ordinance the cops showed up around 7pm, apologized, and asked if we could lower it. Seems if they get three different calls, they have to show up. We didn't have to stop, just lower it a bit. this year, my buddy who showed up on the original day, didn't sing on saturday. He sings 4 or 5 songs fairly well, but he does over a dozen across the 8 hours, screaming into the mike on some. It could also be the grouchy neighbors went away for the weekend.
