No, really, we were networking!

April 28th, 2009

Seven animators spent last Friday night in a padded room surrounded by red velvet, feverishly punching in numbers into a remote control, and howling into small silver sticks.

Yes, that’s right. I’m talking about karaoke at Hit Studio in Northbridge.

Highlights of the evening:

  • The ladies all sing-shouting, “It’s Raining Men” (the Geri Halliwell version), and frightening the bejeesums out of the poor outnumbered boys.
  • Clancie Shorter saying, “I would really like to go to that place right now, that place where it is raining men.” Amen, Clancie.
  • Ebbie Williams going into hysterics when the crazy Santa figurine montage appeared for “Wake me up before you go go”. Seriously, guys, now that is just lazy.
  • Making up subtext for the very bad videos accompanying the music. Like Mystery Science Theatre 3000, but without the high production values!
  • Disco-dancing and finger-pointing to “Staying Alive”.
  • Men in Viking helmets.

Who says animators don’t know how to party?
