Revisiting Road House

labor day weekend. all too appropriate a name for a holiday for those of us in the hospitality business... granted the money is great and apparently it's what we're all here for... but it's not much of a holiday...

i finally got to go out last night and celebrate the holiday. it was carrie's return from new orleans kareoke party.

the rivers edge. ya ever seen road house with patrick swazie (<--whatever)? well, there i was. the token gay boy of our group of 8. all the girls wanted me to sing with them. and it was my job to say all the "no baby, it was FABULOUS! girl you should be in hollywood!!!" lines.. and then it was my turn to sing. of course "Harper Valley PTA" was picked for me, and i sang it with all my heart. all the while people all but road large motorcycles up to the kareoke mic to sing old foreigner songs, and dennis leary songs... "i'm an ass hole ee oh ee oh ee oh..." yikes!

but, i was the best token gay boy ever! i gave it my all... i came home more exausted then before i went... and labor day weekend 2005 was complete.

Going out with co-workers... don't you wish everyone used dial.
