While vacationing in Quebec City, we took a scenic train ride north to a small Canadian town filled with art galleries, lovely little shops, and excellent food.
While walking past a pub. I saw this sign for karaoke.
What impressed me the most about this sign?
Karaoke starts at 10:00 PM and ends at 1:30 AM.
These are not people who need to be in bed by 9:00 PM or would rather be sitting on the couch, watching the latest binge-worthy television show.
I can’t tell you how many times someone has expressed an interest in joining me on my trips to New York City and Boston for events like Moth StorySLAMs, comedy shows, open mics, and sporting events, only to lament that they couldn’t possibly stay awake after midnight on a workday.
I certainly wouldn’t recommend doing it every week, but every now and then?
Sacrifices sometimes need to be made to achieve great things and create memories that last forever.
The people who populate this Canadian pub understand this well.
These are people who know how to have fun.
These are people who do not allow bedtimes to stand in the way of singing poorly and publicly.
I admire the hell out of these people.
