semisolidmedia.com http://semisolidmedia.com Purveyors of Fine Fun posterous.com Sat, 03 Mar 2012 18:00:00 -0800 NEXT EVENT: 4th ANNIVERSARY PARTY - RockBand Video Game Karaoke Bar Night at Rockie Raccoons http://semisolidmedia.com/sat-march-3rd-2012-rockband-video-game-karaok http://semisolidmedia.com/sat-march-3rd-2012-rockband-video-game-karaok

We've come a long way baby!
(We used to do this when there was no NO FAIL mode. That's how long we be doin' this!!!)

The first Saturday in March will mark the 4th anniversary of our first every RockBand Bar Night at Rockie Raccoons.

semisolidmedia.com can now hands-down, without-a-doubt lay claim to hosting the longest continously running event of this type in Toronto, likely Canada and possibly THE WORLD!

If you've never been; come join the legend. 

If you haven't been in a while; come back to us old friend(s)!

For those of you in the former group and in need of info, the RockBand Karaoke Bar Night combines the thrill one gets from drunkenly singing karaoke in front of complete strangers with RockBand, the world's most popular music video game.

Track listings are passed around. Request slips are filled-out. Beverages are consumed. And when your band's name is called you and your friends take the stage to rock out on guitar, bass, drums, vocals and KEYBOARDS!

All equipment is provided and it's free to play.

In fact, The Monk's Table was so newly launched that they weren't even operating Saturday afternoons. They were generous enough to open early specifically so they could be a stop on the YSPC.

The YSPC looks forward to making it's first return visit to The 3 Brewers!

Tucked away above an Indian restaurant, its entrance obscured by the glare from the Panasonic Theatre's marquee, the DofG is a well-worn local. The regulars who dominate its bar look like they greatly appreciate their watering-hole's lack of accessibility and always seem a bit ruffled when a boisterous group of unknowns charge up the stairs.

Last year the YSPC finally cracked the DofG's gruff exterior and managed to get a staff member to pose for the bar-front photo.
