About Me

I host karaoke. You can find me on Sundays from 8:00 pm - 11:00 pm and Tuesdays from 9:00 pm - 1:30 am at Charlie's, 3726 N. Broadway, Chicago. Sunday night's karaoke extravaganza is followed by a drag revue hosted by the incomparable (and well-hung)Teri Yaki. See pictures of all the karaoke goodness at Photobucket .
I have also been lauded as "my favorite occasional drag queen" by my adorable friend, Ethan, and he's kind of a big deal!!
