Now's your chance to show everyone your singing voice.

Leigh and I were thinking it's high time to visit a Korean Kareoke club. There just so happens to be one in Mexico City's illustrious Zona Rosa.

What say you to Saturday, September 30th, roundabout 8 PM at Zubi Cantabar, corner of Hamburgo and Florencia?

If you'd perfer warmer (and possibly wetter) climes, how about the ANUPI conference in Acapulco that weekend. I hear there are some fanatistic speakers lined up. Razz Cool

Yeah, but can they sing "Come Sail Away" after 6 or 7 Cuba libres?

Acapulco is intriguing...I'd like to have one of these get togethers outside of DF sometime.

Hm.. I usually feel quite envious that I can't attend these get togethers. But this time, it gives me great joy to say that I would rather stick pins in my eyes than go to anything involving karaoke. Uuuuurrrrrghhhhh. shudder.

Wish I could join you for the karaoke experience! It is one of the many things I miss about Korea! I'm curious, what is everyone's definition of "naco"?

Andrew Dice Clay epitomizes naco for me.



This might be considered naco...



This too...



A good friend here describes naco as a way of life

If you heard me singing you would ban me from future posts. I'm with lozwich, karaoke is a type of torture for me. I would still support this, but I've got a good old Canadian BBQ that Saturday! I'll let you have a beer and warble something for me Very Happy

Haha, when I first saw the subject line, I read Narcorific Shocked That would be a different party all together! I double checked when I saw the Ghetto Tooth Fairy.

So did I, and only realised when I read your message! Since you and I both detest karaoke, it means we are both definitely not naco! Doesn't say much for the others though.... Wink

We're trying to alternate between naco and fresa locales for outings. Sat Sept 30th should be naco. Something in late October will be fresa. I was think of a Naco November at the Lucha Libre.

I can't think of any suggestions for September.

End of October, how about a fresa costume party for Halloween? Fresas are more into the American tradition of Halloween than the more naco tradition of D�a de los Muertos, right?

For November the lucha libre . . . and then invite the wrestlers to go along to a karaoke bar afterwards. A few beers in those guys, hand them a microphone with The Kumbia Kings or Los Tigres del Norte for backup . . . could prove to be a night that would be hard to forget.

. . . just a thought. Cool

Tim, you have the makings of a perfect party host. Or maybe a wedding planner. Something to consider in life-after-TEFL. Wink

That second picture is painful to look at!!!!! Shocked

I showed them to my student worker here in the lab and she feels they do just fine to teach the word "naco" to gringos. ji ji ji ji

Well that was something...Leigh is Karaoke queen, and we never knew. And me without my camera (again).

Next up...

Lucha Libre
