For everyone who missed it the first time around, if you were one of those folks who said, โWow, it looks like they had a lot of fun,โ when the Neighborhood News brought what we called โCar Karaokeโ to Bubbaโs 33 (located just east of I-75 off S.R. 56) back in May, youโre in luck!
The Wesley Chapel Rotary, in conjunction with long-time club member Troy Stevenson of Acme On The Go Billboard Trucks and the print and online editions of the Neighborhood News, are proud to announce that โParking Lot Karaoke 2โ will again be held in the parking lot at Bubbaโs 33 on Wednesday, September 9, 7 p.m.-10 p.m. (or later, if there are still singers).
Ah, but no matter what you call it, round 2 promises to be bigger and better than round 1. While I know that some people donโt want to have to wear face masks in public, by holding the event in the Bubbaโs 33 parking lot (there will be more tables and chairs set up than last time, too), we can guarantee social distancing.
Plus, when itโs time for you to sing, the microphone(s) will be wiped with disinfecting wipes; weโd also appreciate it if you wear your mask when you sing because, letโs face it, I know I can get a little juicy when I sing โ and I also know Iโm not the only one.
Weโre calling it โParking Lot,โ rather than โCarโ Karaoke this time because some folks told us they thought it meant you had to stay in your car to sing. But, while a few folks did sing in their cars last time, most were like our buddy Lochlan (photo, right) because they came over to the Acme On The Go billboard truck, which displayed the lyrics of every song about as big as Lochlan himself โ much easier to read than on a TV screen!
And, Iโm also excited to have former Q105 FM on-air talent Allan Hudson Brady as Parking Lot 2โs karaoke jock. Many of you know Allan from his shows every Thur.-Sat. at Joe Whiskeyโs (which was still closed at our press time) on S.R. 54, . Allan will be taking sign-ups to sing starting at 6:30 p.m.
And, best of all, our friends Jeff and Crista Dean and the entire Bubbaโs 33 crew will be serving the tasty Bubbaโs 33 food and drinks we love both inside and outside.
So, come on out to Bubbaโs 33 (26340 Silver Maple Pkwy.). Itโs a free event, but food and drinks are not free and we ask that you make a small donation to the Wesley Chapel Rotary Foundation every time you sing. For info, call Bubbaโs 33 at (813) 522-5090 โ GN
