#471 The moment at the bar when everyone starts singing together

Let’s go out.

Let’s grab friends, let’s grab drinks, let’s make it happen.

Now, if you’re like me then even though you love hitting a busy scene, you sorta end up sticking to your own corner booth or tipsy table with your own group of friends. Sure, sure, rogue eyeballs drift and linger, small-talk could be swapped at the bar, and elbows might accidentally disrespect the buffer, but for the most part most of us stick to our own teams.

That’s what makes it special when everyone at the bar suddenly starts singing together. It’s a rare moment of unity that usually goes down one of three ways:

1. Sports cheer. Everyone’s watching the home team on the big screen. When a goal is scored as the clock clicks down and it’s time to grab each other’s shoulders, sway side to side, and let the tears stream down those painted faces.

2. Birthday brotherhood. Have you ever been at a family restaurant when the staff started singing happy birthday and everyone chimed in? Yes, this is when the magic of the ten-year-old’s flaming cake infects everybody with birthday love. The best part is when you get to the part where you’re supposed to sing the person’s name. Usually it comes out like “Happy BIRTH-day dear girl-at-the-barrrrrrrrr….  happy birthday to youuuuuuuu.”

3. Late night sing-a-long. Everyone’s chit-chatting into the early morning when suddenly the DJ drops a fan favorite and cranks it up. Fists pump the sky and drinks slosh around as Bon Jovi or Guns N’ Roses gets everyone jumping.

Yes, there sure is something sweet and something special about that magic moment when everyone starts singing together. It’s like the loud chords shake us up, the screaming vocals sweep us in, and our whole sweaty, sloshy crowd comes together in a big beautiful moment of

AWESOME!

“Greetings from Hungary! Behind me there’s the Buda Castle with the Matthias Church and I’m standing on Elizabeth Bridge over the Danube. There was a strong wind, I had to hold the book tightly :) And here’s my story: My boyfriend travels a lot because of his work. Now he’s working in Kazakhstan for a month. It’s the longest period of time we’ve been separated so far. It’s really hard to handle as we’re always spending all of our time together when he’s at home. But the arriving of The Book of Awesome and his departure to Kazakhstan happened on the same day :) And it helps a lot. Now every day I text him an awesome thing when I wake up to make his day better. And it works :)” – Eszti

  1. Smartphones commonly embrace options reminiscent of web
    looking, e-mail, and multimedia capabilities. And the game must be absolutely certain that
    you saw every clue before it will allow you to solve a corresponding puzzle.
    RPG, sports, gambling, action, we name it, and there is a freeware download for you to get for the palm start which means you may play games at the efficiency.

  2. There are minimal requirements to play these games since all you need is a strong internet connection. The admin should be
    given 24 hours to process the payment because they need to
    verify your account and they are not 24 hours online.
    These online Barbie dress up games mixed technology with the all-time favorite
    pastime of young girls.

  3. Cool blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from
    somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog shine.
    Please let me know where you got your theme. Many thanks

  4. In the market, you will be submerged with birthday gifts creating confusions to select
    a gift. Besides you can consider items like: name a star (A4 framed), mirror spoof newspaper
    presentation pack, fragrance, acre of land on mars, replica gold disc and Hollywood walk of fame star.
    An African American woman who is poor or is uninsured may not
    be able to get the diagnosis early enough for the treatment to be effective.

  5. Then you definately in all probability need something different
    than plain ‘ol travel luggage akin to a pink luggage. It’s an eye fixed catching, charming,
    trendy and never least a cute choice of vogue baggage. It is also perfect in case you merely recognize the class and stylishness leather-based bags project!

  6. Custom bodies, trim pieces and grills were also becoming available, created by the budding aftermarket industry.
    That little person has it the hardest of all off you.

    A solution to this is the Obol Never Soggyy cereal run.

  7. I do not even know how I finished up right here, however I thought
    this submit was once good. I do not recognise
    who you are but certainly you’re going to a well-known blogger for those who are not already.
    Cheers!

  8. It may well be ideal for you in carrying out presentation. Even using the green that is untethered pois0n jailbreak is
    not going to unlock a locked phone. IPad, iPod Touch, or your iPhone must be activated.

  9. My instinctive presents are eventually from the cupboard, and I’m freely
    able to share them with others. The Wheat Grass Juicer is made especially for juicing wheat grass, as the particular name suggests.

  10. Just want to say your article is as amazing. The clearness
    to your submit is just cool and that i can think you’re a professional on this subject.
    Well along with your permission allow me to seize your feed to stay up to date with forthcoming post.
    Thank you 1,000,000 and please keep up the gratifying
    work.
