REVIEW: Millbrae Karaoke House

Randy Weber — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 02:04:15 +0000

I went to the Millbrae Karaoke House for the first time last night. We had a good time there. I have every intention of returning.

There are multiple rooms of various sizes. We had a group of 4 and paid $25/hour. The room was comfortable and had plenty of space for our group.

You could see the lyrics on screen easily from any location in the room. The sound system was good and loud, though this also meant you could hear sounds from other rooms if you didn’t have any music playing.

The selection of music in English was adequate. The background music for the songs wasn’t the best that I’ve heard, but it wasn’t the worst either. It definitely doesn’t sound as good as CD+Gs that you might buy yourself. Also, the songs were only listed by title. It would have been nice to have them cross-referenced by artist and genre.

They sell water, soft drinks, and beer at the front counter. It’s reasonably priced – water is $1. There’s no food.

The bathroom was clean.

You park on the street, so you might want to leave the big SUV at home.

A Beautiful Winter Day in San Francisco

It’s always nice to break up the work day to take a stroll through the Financial District to the pier. Wednesday was a particularly nice day.

This shot is a view of the Ferry Building and Coit Tower. It was taken with an iPhone 3GS.

Trash Can Urinal – San Francisco Could Really Use Some of These

It’s hard to walk around the streets of San Francisco without seeing some guy taking a leak in an alley, if you’re lucky, or right out in the open, if you’re not. It’s one of the first things my friend John commented on during his first trip to SF. As it turns out, you don’t see a lot of public urination back in Texas.

New Bike – Day 2

Randy Weber — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 20:47:40 +0000

Went to the grocery store and loaded up. No problems on the way there or on the way back, though the bike was real heavy and tougher to control on the way back. I also cut my finger unleashing the bungee cord with the S hook that was holding on the panniers. That thing is tight and snaps back fast if you don’t have a good grip on it.

On the way to the store I took little detour and cruised along the coastline for a bit looking at the fog overtaking San Francisco. Better weather is definitely a perk of being in Alameda versus the city. I might also point out that it’s 101 in Dallas right now versus sunny and 65 in Alameda. I do not miss the Texas summer.

With all that said, I like the bike and enjoyed taking the bike out rather than the car.

As of now it’s been 3 weeks since I’ve driven the car. Let’s see how long I can go.

I really enjoyed my first trip to Betlnut this week. They have great Asian food. You can read my review on Yelp. Thanks for the recommendation Steve.

If you know me, you know that I LOVE pizza. I’ve really enjoyed New York Pizza. You can read my review on Yelp.
