One of the less-frequented bars on the riverfront in Cape has $.75 drafts and karaoke on Wednesday nights, and we always go.

Another PMA comes with us sometimes. It is soooooo much fun to do karaoke with them-all the other drunk people there are off key and can barely pull it off, but these guys do three part harmony (they sang Simon and Garfunkel's "Cecelia" to me for my birthday and it was beautiful!) The PMA guys in general have some of the best parties, because they're not full of the (sorry everyone to whom this may apply, it did to me at one time, and I'm sure it did to most of us at one point or another

Just my $.02 about them!
