welcome 2007!

new years eve began with shane and i walking up to a very long line for a very "underground" party. we were hearing from people in line that the bar was already packed inside, no where to move. they weren't even giving out free champagne anymore.

what was this?! we aren't going to wait in line for at least an hour, pay $25 to get into a crowded club that didn't even give a champagne toast! to top it off, nick and sarah (the other half of the groovies) had some atm malfunctions and were out of money for the night!

what to do. it was already nearly 11:00 and we are in lower manhattan without a plan.

so, slightly annoyed with the turn of events, we jumped in a cab and headed back home to yonkers. yep, going back to yonkers for new years! not something you hear very often.
we decided to go to ">the frog, the best bar on mclean avenue.
but wait, i was seeing a light at the end of the tunnel ...

what did the sign say in front??? karaoke night!!!! yeee haaaawwwww!! now that is how i like to do it! plus a bunch of shane's friends were there, some that i haven't met yet, so it was fun! not too crowded, we were runnin' the place!


champagne was the drink of the evening for me - all night long! i have decided that it is the best choice for me, a fun, happy drunk! never sloppy! like a lady!


brian and siobhan dancing away. a little fact that i was unaware of, apparently the irish aren't that into karaoke! whaaaa???? let me have my way and i can change their minds!!!

everyone pose on the "red wall"!! (so very misshapes!)




and now is the time when i was ready for my debut at the frog!

my opening number, don't stop believin' by journey!


i got up on stage and sang my little heart out!


awwww yeeeaaaahhhhh!

but wait! soon it was time for the count down to 2007!

and who was my first and only kiss of the new year? my one and only (gush gush! i know!)


since i got the party started, those that said they wouldn't do it, started singing!


but they had to pick the longest song known to man, that damn meatloaf song that is like 12 minutes long! brian is seen hear holding himself up on the ledge - just can't take anymore!


"you da man!" "no, you da man!"

they couldn't hold me down!


a little styx ...


some steve perry ...

and the reprise!

the people were asking for it ...


i had to bring it back! don't stop believin'!

the night was complete.

it was going to be a very good year.

This Irish girl loves karioke!! In fact, the next time it's said that the Irish don't sing, point out the plethora of Irish drinking songs!

Looks like fun times! Happy New Year!
