Usually Monday night is when I lie around bemoaning the fact that I didn't accomplish nearly any of the chores I should have done over the weekend and instead went out too late, spent to much money, ate/drank too much, etc. But for a small set in Barcelona, Monday night is party night. To be more specific, really rowdy, semi-professional Karaoke party night. I'm talking about Anti-Karaoke. It's something I'd definitely recommend to locals and tourists alike looking for a way to spicy up otherwise boring Mondays.

I'd heard about this weekly event before, but chalked it up as another stupid karaoke bar. Instead, the night is hosted by a multi-talented American comedian and produced more like a well rehearsed show than disjointed karaoke performances. She kicks of the night with a number, and then invites other people who have signed up to sing up to the stage. There are no screens with the words, only a page of lyrics that hardly anyone used. Most people had terrific voices and good stage presence (ie they've practiced). In the case of a few sad souls, the hostess helped out with some funny backup dancing or singing along.

Our friend Amy and her high school friend easily topped all of the night's performances with their rendition of "It's Raining Men." Amy danced up a storm, and Amanda belted out the lyrics. Hopefully there will be video to follow....
