My friend and her family opened a vegan Chinese restaurant after being an underground, backyard/living-room restaurant for several years and getting busted by the City of Worcester. It’s called Duck Yao and it rules.
This has to be one of the first attempts at BYOB karaoke in the history of karaoke. The night starts early: 7:30 PM or so, running to midnight. And it happens every Thursday. I’m fascinated by the idea of BYOB scorpion bowls / mai tais / piña coladas.
I’ve been running the set using my full karaokecrime setup (4 wireless mics > MOTU 828 > Ableton) so I can do on-the-fly effects (spontaneous autotune last week on Annie and Mariah’s “Cher – Believe”) and live recording of individual mics.
If you’re ever in Massachusetts on a Thursday you should come and check it out.
