Karaoke

The Karaoke Party was held in the basement, "Room for Hire," of the pub The Corner Store. To get get there, go to the Covent Garden Tube stop, turn left heading for the Covent Garden Market Piaza, then turn right onto Russell Street. Then at the corner where the Theater Museum stands turn right and the next street The Corner Store is on the right.

The upstairs has table and chairs that were full cause the football match between Germany and Italy was on the telly. Down the stairs to the basements is where we were having our little American party.

At first no one had the courage to sing any songs, however in hour or so in and after a couple drinks people began to put in requests. What type of songs? Well, American obvisously. The crowd sang along with the person with the microphone to "Sweet Home Alabama," Bon Jovi, "Hang On Sloopy," "My Girl," Summer Nights" from Grease, and so on.

My friends had planned on singing a song for my birthday, however when they finally made it up to the DJ, the song had alreay been requested. Oh well. Overall it was fun.

It was the first time that the AIFS cordinators had put on a Karaoke Party, and so they were a little bit nervous about how it was going to go down. But I think, from what I saw, it went well. They'll probably do it again next year.

After we left the party, Jessie, Callie, Sarah D. and I walked to the Leicester Square tube stop, which wasn't too far away actually, and headed back to the dorm.
