The Karaoke Kouple will be back at Hal & Mal’s tonight (Saturday) for one night only, leading the masses in karaoke like you’ve never seen. (Really.) The only questions are: Will Brian be in his element? Will the military show up again? Will they be in uniform? Will Todd hit that note in the Elton John song? Will Donna insult everyone in the place? More than once?

Come on out. Free. 9 p.m.

I had such a good time last night. The Marine reserve who sang N’Sync was the best. Dave’s obsessive stalker interpretation of Jessie’s Girl was pretty amazing too, though.
