JACK’S PUB & GRILL; RENToN, WA<br />
Jack’s Pub for fun!<br />
DRAFT PICS; MT. VERNoN, WA<br />
Draft Pics for Sunday karaoke!<br />
By Ty Hughes Karaoke is back at Draft Pics For more info, email Melissa<br />
Popped into Jack’s Pub up in the<br />
Renton Highlands, at 3901 NE 4th,<br />
and met Carol Potvin. A lovely lady<br />
with flowing blonde hair and a catchy<br />
last name to boot.<br />
Carol’s been running Jack’s<br />
karaoke since February of this year.<br />
She’s got her own karaoke room off the<br />
main part of the sportsbar. In here,<br />
it’s tables and chairs, a stage, and<br />
Carol caring for her faithfuls. And<br />
she really does too, she has a special<br />
relationship with just about everyone<br />
in Mount Vernon!<br />
Every Sunday at Draft Pics<br />
you can find the best in karaoke<br />
entertainment and awesome service.<br />
There’s no question that Sunday<br />
nights will once again be on the top<br />
of your list for karaoke fun.<br />
Beginning in September, you<br />
are invited to participate in the "Skagit<br />
Idol Contest". We are looking for<br />
our own Idol, and you could be it!<br />

St, Mount Vernon, WA.<br />
Debra and Chuck at 13 days straight karaoke Sign ups will go until 10pm<br />
in the room and just wants to make<br />
everybody happy. Carol works hard to<br />
engage her audience and that’s why<br />
people are gravitating toward her<br />
Thursday nights.<br />
Carol is an accomplished Jazz<br />
singer and will round out a rotation<br />
with a Norah Jones number and the<br />
crowd melts. It’s a real treat to hear<br />
her perform.<br />
But the job at hand is to hand the<br />
mic over to you. Carol’s room has been<br />
growing, but there’s plenty of slots for<br />
singin’. The whole bar staff is extra<br />
supportive of the karaoke and really<br />
love Carol.<br />
The full menu is served at your<br />
table, and the food is real quality.<br />
Sit close or off to the side, and your<br />
experience is comfortable. You can<br />
still talk over the music, which is<br />
surprisingly robust in the dedicated<br />
karaoke room.<br />
My crap took over, like two full<br />
tables - I was all spread out and Brynn<br />
sits down at a table next to one of<br />
mine. She was gonna do some singin, I<br />
could tell. And she did. Outstanding.<br />
Then Garrett, aka; Barbie gets<br />
up there and blows us away. I don’t<br />
even remember what he sang, but I<br />
know I liked it!<br />
Meanwhile, Joe’s up there flirtin’<br />
with Carol, trying to choose a song.<br />
When he sang, the whole room responded.<br />
He sounded awesome.<br />
Chuck and Debra are my new<br />
friends. They were along the wall in a<br />
booth. Now, these two were currently<br />
on their thirteenth night straight of<br />
karaoke! That’s gotta be a record.<br />
each night. Each week, we will appoint<br />
two winners to advance to our<br />
final rounds. Weekly prizes will be<br />
awarded and other special awards<br />
throughout the competition.<br />
Draft Pics’ Sunday night bartenders,<br />
Mickey and Britt are here<br />
to serve you up the best drinks in<br />
town!<br />
Draft Pics has a full menu<br />
available, drink specials, and much<br />
more to satisfy any craving you may<br />
have. Come in whet your whistle and<br />
sing some tunes on Sunday nights! Mandi stirs up the Draft Pics crowd<br />
It never ceases to amaze me when I<br />
meet people completely entrenched in<br />
karaoke. Awesome!<br />
They’ve got their favorite venues,<br />
and they’re not necessarily close together<br />
either. Debra and Chuck prefer<br />
Carol’s show, putting at the top of their<br />
weekly list.<br />
Do yourself a favor and get your<br />
rearend on over to Jack’s Pub and<br />
Grill in the Highlands. See their ad<br />
on this page for details. Jack’s is a<br />
great place to relax and unwind. Clean<br />
and fresh, good people, food... sheesh!<br />
What else do you want?<br />
How about they throw in a topnotch<br />
host, give you your own space<br />
and license to fill the room with your<br />
very own vocals.<br />
Jack’s Pub & Grill’s Karaoke Host, Carol, caters to Joe’s request<br />
I’m goin’ back - see ya there! Brynn grateful for her turn on the mic Barbie gets in a couple songs too
