Hey, a special treat for readers of JSink! Well, sorta. This is an event at the MilkyWay Lounge & Lanes for which you have to be a VIP, and to be a VIP all you have to do is email the address below and know that not everybody knows about it. Confused? So are we, but we can tell you it's all about "Live Band Karaoke Night," which sounds like one of those wacky Japanese pop culture translations that doesn't quite click, but does. What we've got is from 9 to 11 p.m. - if you're one of those email VIPs - you get two comp beers and free access to the candlepin bowling lanes and Bella Luna pizza - as well as a chance to perform with the Nickel & Dime Band, which knows over 200 songs. Promoter Ben Sisto notes that Karaoke actually translates as "empty orchestra" so live band karaoke is a technical oxymoron, but what the hell? So, email Ben at
for your free pass. The gig is Tuesday May 15 and the list closes at 5 p.m.
