Growing up half-Asian exposed me to a lot of Eastern culture, including the ever-present past time of karaoke. Walk into my mom’s family room and you’ll find the VCD player, three microphones, and a collection of Celine Dion cds in Mandarin. And that isn’t even as funny as watching her “perform.” So if you were one of the many unlucky folks who did not have the day off today, you’re salvation is here. The best way to solve a case of the Mondays is a night of hilarious karaoke.

10 High’s Metal-Some Mondays offer rock karaoke accompanied by a live hair band ($4). L5P’s Star Bar also offers 15 Minutes of Fame, an anything-goes competition starting at 10 p.m. (no cover). Go ahead and belt out those tunes or just be a spectator (you can’t possibly be worse than my mother). Just no Celine, please.
