*The times shown may change, depending on DST settings
City/Town: Basel
Event Type: Drinks/Bar
Meeting Point: near to Paddy's

By popular demand I am forced (but quite pleased ) to organise an evening solely dedicated to drinking and karaoke!!

The meeting place will be Paddy's at 8pm where we can down a few pints for dutch courage and then head on down to the fantastic karaoke bar where we can try for the second time to get barred!

There's no pressure to sing and I promise not to hog the mic all night this time

Hope to see plenty of you there!

Re: Karaoke night

Hi,
I arrived in Basel yesterday from Melbourne, Australia - what better way to make friends than by embarrasing myself? I can't sing although I may be tempted to try. (Once at school I had a secondary lead in a musical - the role was mute - they didn't even want me singing in the chorus!!)

I look forward to meeting everyone.

Cheers
Chris

Re: Karaoke night

Oh, what the hell I'm in as well, even if my throat is horribly deformed on Friday still, the whole point of karaoke is to sound terrible and make a fool of yourself...

Re: Karaoke night

Bump!

Come on Basel guys, time to get out of your caves... A few drinks, karoke is not compulsory (I sound like a drowning cat) So come to support/heckle (delete as appropriate)

Get your names up on the invite regardless of if you can make it or not!

Sounds like we need a Basel list to pull everyone together

Re: Karaoke night

Brett there's no way that you're going along and getting away without doing a Limp Bizkit track...

Re: Karaoke night

Ok Fellow Zürichers...

A few of us will be getting this train from the Hbf, feel free to join us for some pre-singing libations on the train...

And for the record, despite the Fred Durst facial hair (apparently!), I will be singing no limp-bizkit!

I reckon a duo with Terry (Limp Biskit -"Numb") You'll kick ass guys.

I'll be cowering in the corner.

Could be worse he could have suggested The Carpenters

And wasn't Numb by Linkin Park..?
