So what do you do while LA burns down around you? If you’re anything like us then you’ll go out and sing badly in front of a bunch of drunken strangers. This weeks activity finds us in the city I love to hate – Burbank. Aside from the smoking ticket I got long ago from them they are home to the Burbank Bar and Grill which has “Karaoke Night” every Thursday and Sunday.

I haven’t been to karaoke in a while and singing in front of complete strangers is not exactly my strongest talent. So, after a bit of liquid courage and some improvisational prompting by Arman I headed to the stage and began my horrendous rendition of Major Tom. “Ground Control to Major Tom!!!” I am thankful that many in the bar that night already had a few drinks in them (myself included). I think this fact was able to mitigate the brunt of the horror that I introduced to the patrons. But being who I am I can’t help but sing 80′s songs and sing them badly I did.

So while ash snowflakes fell around the city the tunes of amateur singers (good and bad alike) rang through the air. We shared merriment and mutual love for song. If only I had sang the Proclaimers – I would walk 500 miles.
