Oct. 18, 6 pm - Karaoke night - Birth of a tradition, or something else?

It's inauguration for our first Karaoke Meetup. Will it be the birth of a tradition, or perhaps an embarrassing evening to forget?

Be there to experience it for yourself. James River Hikers - Hiking with History's very own self-proclaimed "Queen of Karaoke - Darsey" is in charge.

Dennis has reserved the One Monument Avenue fourth level patio overlooking Stuart Circle for the evening.

Bring a snack to share, a beverage and the talent to wow us all with your superb voice, and failing that, the courage to not get too down on yourself if your performance is universally declared an abomination.

Other that that --- there's no pressure on you.

Here's the equipment.

Here are the music selections we have. If you don't see the song that'll propel you to stardom, bring your own Karaoke CDs.

If the weather is lousy, we'll retreat to Dennis's patio level apartment.

Parking is available on the 4th (top) level of the parking structure across Lombardy Street from One Monument Avenue apartments and behind the First English Lutheran Church.

The address of the church is 1603 Monument Ave, Richmond, VA 23220.

Below is a view looking north. Notice Stuart Circle in the background and One Monument Avenue Apartment to the right.

Come to the main front entrance, and the doorman will let you into the building and direct you to the 4th floor patio.
