Second Karaoke Night in Farpoint Valley sees violent audience!

Date: 030907
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).

As promised, here’s the report from Farpoint Valley’s second Karaoke night! Remember what I wrote about the location not leading to violence last time? Well, this time, we saw violence! But more about that later.

The Karaoke night was, as the first, held in Farpoint Valley’s Grindhouse bar. The small bar, in the basement of the grindhouse, was packed this evening, and the hostess of the event, Ramona from the Neutron Pixies, took care to make sure every guest was well-supplied with booze – the more smashed they are, the more likely they sing she said. And sing they did!

Chiggs Chiggly, a sullustan playboy and singer, debuted with „Aqua-Ki’Misha“ a tribute to Ki’Misha, wife of Mul-Bi and apparent love interest of the sullustan – one among many. Even during the performance, betting was started on how long the singer would live afterwards.

Jiwarri performed a local wookiee song again, in a dialect not many were familiar with. Since not many understood the lyrics, it’s safe to say it was not about violence, booze or sex.

Desian followed the wookiee, and sang an ode to his love and date, Jazmine, with the immortal line of "who's your daddy". Remarkable.

Neutron Pixie Ki’iana then took the stage, with a version of „Fallen“, the song that took the Galaxy by storm three years ago when it was voted top video.

Clarissa Goldear, Farpoint Valley’s mayor, gave another example of her singing talent with a blues song.

Now lubricated enough, Poe'kunal sang rather off-key, but with heart- or rather liver-felt passion.

'Dayla the dark zabrak then took the stage, dragging Relvan with her as background dancer for „Never gunna give you up“, right afterwards switching roles when Relvan „Howling Mad“ Ikori loudly sang about his love affair with „Innie“, and a „captain Detty“. At least we know now where the victor of the last Karaoke Night was.

Then came Cpike Morningstar (without much „help“ from a wookiee this time), and the former member of the Pikatta Pie entertainer group’s song and dance number „I could be your boytoy“ had such an impact that it knocked Poe’kunal to the floor!

Following this act was hard, but professional musician Pelique and her mandoviol did just that, with a more quiet, even sad song, paving the way for enthusiastic amateur Harve, both singing about soldiers of fortune.

Ramona brought the night to an end with „Shut up and Fly“, and the voting started.

While the votes were counted, violence came to the stage. Chiggs sang his „Aqua-Ki’misha“ again, due to the firm request from the audience, and then had to run for his life when Mul-Bi took offense to the song. So far we’re not sure i fit was the performance itself, or the lyrics which included clear designs on his wife, Chiggs’ plans to hire a hitman to deal with Mul-Bi. Last we heard, the sullustan singer almost made it out unhurt but tripped, and is now not drowning in love, but getting soaked in bacta.

Then the winner was announced - Cpike Morningstar! He won fame, and a surprise prize, an egg which hatched a strange little creature later identified as a gubbur that kept following him around – no doubt seeking shelter from those who were loudly speculating whether or not it was edible.

All in all another entertaining night in Farpoint Valley!
