This was our last night out as FeedBurner. We rented some space at Carnivale and gorged ourselves on Latin food and drinks. Dick toasted each employee. The toasts started out completely proper and nice but by the end of the night they were more like roasts! The party was fun and everyone is excited for the future, but there was still that twinge of sadness that our little group is all grown up.

Later on we went to Carol’s Pub because it was Thursday and that means karaoke at Carol’s! paulbaker wrote my name down for a song, but luckily I escaped around 1 a.m. before my turn came up.

The rest of my photos from the night are on FeedBurner’s Flickr photostream.

Carol’s Pub

Carol’s Pub, Sheridan Park, Chicago

After Minnies and Marquee Lounge, the group headed up to Carol’s. Joe and Chris are regulars there on karaoke night and showed us the ropes. I don’t even know where to begin describing Carol’s. Dirty? Smelly? It’s not a bar acting like a dive. It IS a dive. The old bartender behind the counter is named Jimmy. His belt says “Jimmy” on it. If you don’t make up your mind about what beer you want he’ll make up your mind for you. He’s missing some teeth. He shines a great big flashlight/spotlight on some of the singers. not the best singers, and no guys. Only girls with a couple big body parts.. None of the singers who are regulars there are really that great.. or even good.. so it gives everyone courage to take the stage. Oh, and when they aren’t doing karaoke, they play country western music. It sounds horrible, but we had a really great time. It makes you feel like you made a wrong turn and ended up in some tiny hicktown bar. Bear Creek anyone?

Here are a few photos we put on our company’s Flickr photostream and here’s one Matt had on his. Also, Chris has a blog that tracks his outings at Carol’s on karaoke night and here’s his post on our night.
