That’s not this coming Wednesday, but the following one. As usual, it’s at the Bovine Sex Club and hosted by Carson T. Foster, Karaoke Impresario Extraordinaire!
Carson has just announced a new bi-weekly Kickass Karaoke at the Rivoli! It takes place every other Sunday, starting Sunday March 16th. It’ll take place in the upstairs pool lounge.
The Rivoli is at 332 Queen Street West, about half a block east of Spadina. This is extremely convenient, as the Rivoli is barely two blocks away from my house.
Fun Rivoli Trivia Fact: Saturday Night Live comedian Mike Myers modelled “Dieter”, the host of Sprockets, after a Rivoli waiter.
Carson writes:
When I got home after tearing down the sound system [from a special Kickass Karaoke at the Duke of Gloucester on Thursday], I made a huge mistake. Because I was exhausted, I chose to leave some gear in the car.
Can you see where this is goin’?
Yup. My entire catalogue got jacked.
All 180 Karaoke CD+G’s are gone, as well as my megaphone (huh?) among other items. Yes, I am insured, but it will take a little time to sort through the paperwork and rebuild my catalogue and listing books.
I won’t cancel any upcoming gigs. I’m just going to have to cross-rent disks from Charlie Calvo. This will mean that some of the songs in my catalogue simply won’t be there, until I can replace them with the insurance settlement.
I want to apologize to everyone for being so stupid and I hope you’ll bear with me during this difficult period.
Maybe those of us who are regulars should get together and buy him a bunch of karaoke discs for his upcoming March 16th/March 19th shows. CD+G Karaoke discs sell for anywhere from CDN$10 – $20 (there are some decent English rock and pop karaoke discs selling for $10 in Chinatown Centre), and I’m sure that a handful of us could easily provide him with a half-dozen new discs. It’s the least we can do for all the years of fun Wednesday nights that he’s given to us.
Email me if you’re interested in giving our buddy Carson a hand.
