No Hokey Karaoke @ Clear
Karaoke is pretty serious stuff. I’m not
kidding. It might as well be an Olympic sport. The talent to muster all
of that creative energy in those two or three minutes in front of a
hundred people can be pretty stressful. So wouldn’t it better to
do it at some classier joint than say… a dive bar? Well Clear in
Studio City is just the place. Enjoy the drinks and sing, sing, sing.
Hopefully they have some Jefferson Starship in the playlist. Clear is
located at 11916 Ventura Blvd. in Studio City
