I go a few times a year....My buddy owns an awesome set up that can make most average singers sound.....ok? The bad singers he just drowns out with more bass!!! He uses our old pa system from the band so it gets pretty loud!!! And he runs it with a monitor speaker that helps the good singers out alot. I normally only go when he needs some folks to "seed" the audience and get other people up and singing. I dread going every time but almost always end up having a good time. I do some vocals with our little garage band....get up there and have some fun!!! Be a rock star for 2.30 mins!!!! Don't take yourself to serious...but watch out there are some folks who take it serious (we only laugh about them behind their backs....don't be rude!
)
