Ashley and her posse gittin’ jiggy at DJ Tony’s Wednesday karaoke show at Rocksport, where one singer wins $50 cash each week<br />
RoCKSPoRT BAR & GRILL; WEST SEATTLE, WA<br />
Win cash at Rocksport<br />
By<br />
DJ<br />
Ty Hughes<br />
Tony’s got quite an<br />
operation going over<br />
at the Rocksport in<br />
West Seattle. Every<br />
Wednesday night, he<br />
fires up the equipment<br />
and shows<br />
West Seattle how it’s done.<br />
The Mariners were battling it out<br />
in the 14th inning with the Chicago<br />
White Sox. The game was on all the<br />
monitors around the room and several<br />
in the room were engrossed by the<br />
game. Griffey won it with a walk-off<br />
home run! About half the bar erupts<br />
with joy, and the attention turns back<br />
to the party around the stage.<br />
The singers know that their performance<br />
needs to be entertaining and<br />
fun. DJ Tony’s sound meter doesn’t<br />
lie. Whoever gets the biggest crowd<br />
response wins the fifty dollar prize<br />
for the night!<br />
The raised stage is backed by a<br />
huge 10-foot projection screen with the<br />
lyrics scrawled bigger than life.<br />
Ashley and her gang of friends lit<br />
the place up with their dancing and<br />
singing. They found the dancer’s pole<br />
in the middle of the dance floor and<br />
shook their groove thing.<br />
Tony’s quality wireless microphones<br />
enabled the singers to go anywhere<br />
in the bar. Sometimes, they’d<br />
disappear all the way in the back for<br />
awhile. John G. sang before Rebecca<br />
did Pour Me, Rico, new to the Rocksport,<br />
sounds just like the King and<br />
even kinda dressed like him too.<br />
Rico does an impressive Elvis impersonation<br />
Eric sings for the cash at Rocksport<br />
Rebecca at Rocksport in West Seattle<br />
Sally sang Take Me Home, running<br />
around, getting bystanders<br />
involved. Eric’s Cold Shot was unbelievable<br />
- a true artist. And then it was<br />
time for a couple duets.<br />
Brendon and Pat did Wonderboy,<br />
by Tenacious D, complete with all the<br />
silly antics and everything. What<br />
made it even more funny was that they<br />
were both dressed in suits. When Pat<br />
struck a superstar’s pose, the crowd<br />
laughed aloud.<br />
Then it was Randy and Candy’s<br />
turn together. They did a very animated<br />
Love Shack. Good times.<br />
If you haven’t checked out the<br />
Rocksport, in the heart of the West<br />
Seattle Junction, you really ought to.<br />
DJ Tony makes an appearance every<br />
Wednesday, ready and willing to hand<br />
some lucky entertainer fifty bucks<br />
cash for having a great time. I love<br />
this country!<br />
The sound, stage and lights will<br />
pull you into the show. Seating is<br />
abundant, but will fill up. They also<br />
feature booths along the back wall.<br />
Come on in and try your luck -<br />
you could wak out fifty bucks richer!<br />
