Don't Judge A Bar By It's Cover

It was Kristen's birthday and we were on a mission: To wow the city of Austin with our karaoke skills. My sisters and I consider ourselves karaoke connoisseurs after spending a week in Miami and "performing" every single night. Lucky for me, Kristen is also a fan of all things karaoke. We did a little research to find a spot that offers our favorite past-time on a Monday night in Austin... and we hit the jackpot. A little piece of paradise called BEERLAND. As you can imagine, we were a little skeptical. Who names a bar Beerland? And what kind of people hang out at a bar named Beerland? We decided to take our chances... let the karaoke begin!

Beerland. Like I said, don't judge a bar by it's cover. Or interior.

This guy is one of about five regular performers at Beerland's Karoaoke night. He was definitely a crowd favorite. I wonder if he works at TGIFridays with all those buttons.

This would be Nicole and Deirdre's genius selection of Weird Al Yankovic's "Amish Paradise". They sang while I danced awkwardly in the background.

We ended up having a blast... the regulars welcomed us and the karaoke DJ's humored us by letting us perform at least 13 songs on stage. Turns out that looks really can be deceiving.
