Last Ground Control Karaoke @ Jewel's Catch One is tonight

RIP Ground Control Karaoke! 

LAST NIGHT IS TONIGHT!

At least until this summer at a new location...

Address:

Ground Control Karaoke

4067 W. Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90019

Last night of the year for me at Ground Control Karaoke...

I wonder what I'll sing to end 2011? Its been a year of economic turmoil and the death of three international tyrants.

Most of my friends are broke, but the world is much safer I guess.

Live online streaming video might or might be on tonight, and links to see it as well as club directions can be found on the Ground Control Karaoke website by clicking here.

Ground Control Karaoke Book 3D Lenticular Cover #11

Here's the final image in a series of eleven 3D karaoke song-book covers I've made for Ground Control Karaoke.

There is no Secret List at Ground Control, but if there were, this would be the cover.

Ground Control Karaoke Book 3D Lenticular Cover #10

Here's the tenth in a series of eleven 3D karaoke song-book covers I've made for Ground Control Karaoke.

At Ground Control, when you don't know what you want to sing, you can write "Crap Shoot" on the song ticket and the staff will choose the song for you. In honor of this tradition, this lenticular has my pal Michael Coleman, a fixture at GC, contemplating which artist he will have to sing for his Crapshoot. His choices here include GG Allin, Miley Cyrus, Ice Cube, Thom Yorke, Weird Al, Stevie Nicks, Rick Astley, MC Hammer, Beyonce, Siouxsie Sioux, Motley Crue and Morrissey.

The style of this piece is modeled after the "Choose Your Own Adventure" books.

Ground Control Karaoke Book 3D Lenticular Cover #1

Many folks know that I've been a fixture at Ground Control Karaoke every Monday since it began back in 2004. This year I'm making 11 unique 3D lenticular covers for the club's karaoke books and will present the designs right here on this blog over the next few days.

First up is a homage to the Atari 2600 Basic Programming cartridge cover. I think an Atari 2600 karaoke game would be pretty lame, but the box art would kick ass.
