A lot of research went into this story.

July 31, 2008

I have a feature in the Mercury this week. (!!!)

It’s about karaoke.

Now pick yourselves up off the floor and read it.

And here is some of the “research”. Writing is fun.

Oh, hey….did I neglect to mention my story is on the COVER?

Your job is so tough it makes me weep for you.

is there that much dicksucking in portland? is it concentrated towards the KJs?

i learned a lot from that article. i had no idea the KJs sang. seems a bit odd if you ask me, but i guess it works as an icebreaker.

I need some karaoke now.

Oh, and I just told all five of my readers to read your article and check out your blog. So expect to see a boost in readership by five new visitors.

The Hutch was pretty rockin… although the place in the pic above looks pretty snazzy! Of course, being 18 feet tall makes me appreciate high ceilings.

I like the guy in the back who is throwing up in his hand while you guys sing.

What a wunderful article! If I still read the print version of The Mercury, I would flip RIGHT TO THIS ARTICLE! (After reading Maakies)

Yahoo for you!

Loved the article! If I lived in Portland I would for sure check out the King of the KJ’s.

You are beautiful but the questions were not stupid. Stacey was 50% incorrect.

From now on, I will judge every person by his or her hair.

Excellent article. I used it for my first twitpic. I know, I’m so five minutes ago.

OK, I hope I’m not double-posting, shit froze up the last time I tried.
COVER STORY? Nice work. You’re going to be too famous to talk to us in like, 5 minutes.

My favorite sentence: “Mollifying the guy by putting his song in right away, Warren and Drunky soon bro-hugged, their tension a thing of the past.”

Way to go! I loved it.

My hand placement in that photo is unfortunate. I was not reaching for the hem of your dress or trying to hit you with my tambourine.

And Ken (comment number 2), to answer your question, no. There is no dicksucking in Portland. People here just aren’t into that sort of thing.
