It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's ???

Last time you checked in on our heroine, she was on her way to a baseball game. Did she and her friends make it? Did she and her friends get their drink on before the game and decide to go out and party instead?

The answer is b) she and her friends got their drink on before the game and decided to go out and party instead.

She and her friends drove all the way across town to go to a restaurant that has another location not 2 minutes from her house. What brought on this madness?

The original plan: Have some dinner and drinks before the game at the restaurant right next door to the stadium so they wouldn't flake out on the game.

The actual occurence: They were having too much fun drinking and the wind was too much. They drove all the way back across town to go to a bar.

When our heroine and her friends get to the bar (after pit stops at each person's "headquarters") the buzz had gone a bit stale and everyone was tired. Until the shots came and the bar started to fill up.

Then came Karaoke. And the bet. And the voice that trembled and then gained confidence.

Karaoke is something our heroine never really participates in. Only witnesses it for entertainment purposes. Until the game began and the drink was flowing. And our heroine's friends began to offer $5 for every song sung. Not that our heroine is hard up for money, mind you, but who would pass that up.

The conditions: They got to pick the songs and she just had to go up unknowing.

Luckily they were kind. Our heroine sang "Nobody" by Sylvia and "You're so Vain" by Carly Simon. I must say, she did a bang up job. The crowd cheered. Despite the heart palpitations, the face that turned beet red, and the initial slight tremble in the voice...she was a hit.

Our heroine celebrated with drinks (and drinks and more drinks!) and dancing the electric slide (which she had never danced before) and did some bootyshakin' as well. Good times were had by all and our heroine made it safely home.
