On Friday night I went to a happy hour, for me! I got a promotion so I wanted to celebrate with some friends I hadn't seen in a while. I got a good crowd, some couldn't make it, but a good time was had anyway (just another excuse to have another happy hour later). Later in the evening, a trio of us went to a karaoke bar (what is it with that and me lately?) and did a couple songs. I did very average on Tonight, Tonight from the Pumpkins (didn't help the words were wrong on the screen), and I massacred Cochise from Audioslave (again, I must have been drunk to pick that one!). Thing is, I actually can sing it, I do it in my living room, and even tested myself on my PA to hear myself better. That night, my throat dried up, and since the song is a screamer, I pretty much sucked! My friend got the entire bars attention though. She did Piece of My Heart (Janis Joplin) and got congrats all around.
The next day I went to my nephew's 1st birthday party (I'm his honorary uncle since my friend, his mom, was an only child). He's a cute kid, and kind of demanding (just like mommy!). It was, what I'd guess a typical 1st birthday party would be. Some crying, then happy, then crying, then happy. A million pictures taken. Of course, I never have a camera with me, but here's a picture I have that my friend sent me:
Sunday I woke up early (8:30 is early on a Sunday, and that means it was important to me) to go see the new Batman. And it was awesome. The original Tim Burton one from '89 is one of my favorite movies, and this one is right up there. I fully intend to go see it again. For the record, the Star Wars count is now at 4.

Where did you guys end up going?
It was a bar called Sassi Jim's Happy Fun Karaoke Playland! Ok, Ok, it's really just called Sassi Jim's, but I added the rest because the name reminded me of those japanese variety shows, like Tagachi's Super Fun Happy Hour! Or something like that.
