    The Factory Five SEMA Happy Hour is on!!!

    Okay, it seems that they've been blowing up every place we visit (not sure if that's good or bad) so we'll have to move again! This year we'll be having it at Vince Neil's Tatuado Bar at the Circus Circus. From the Convention Center, you can simply walk down Riviera blvd and you'll run right into it. We'll be doing wristbands and simply having a $500 tab at the bar (no keg this year) so don't be late if you want a free beer!

    This place not only serves toilet bowls full of alcohol (say what?) but also turns into a Karaoke bar and rumor has it, that Tony Zullo will be signing "She's my cherry pie" with Sally and Karen on backup vocals so don't miss it. Zwicker, Hartmann, and Tongish will also be performing Billy Joel's "For the longest time" Let's do this!

    Date: Wednesday Nov 4th at 6pm-8pm

    See you there!

    Seeing the number of views/responses has me thinking maybe people are thinking "Circus Circus is a dump!" Well guess what you're right. BUT the bar is supposed to be pretty cool. So don't look at anything on your way to the bar and just be glad you don't work for FFR because they have to stay there!!! Poor guys. But seriously. I couldn't find anywhere else and it's just for one beer. I've never been there so I'm looking forward to it. Who's with me? Other than Doug of course.

    Hi Eric

    I think the last time I was in Circus Circus was about 20 years ago - I'm sure they have fixed it up since then! Anyway, I'm in (w/wife). Besides, who could resist seeing the FFR staff singing.

    Thanks John

    So I stopped off and had beers and dinner there while I was in town last week. Had a really great time. The beer was cold and the food was good. Karaoke started at 8:30 and we hung out to 11 just having fun watching the performances. All and all looks like it will be a perfect spot for us and it's not pricey at all. Anyone else coming?

    We're not doing karaoke either. Unless someone wants to. It doesn't start till 8 which gives us two hours to get drunk enough to do it. .

    Thanks for coordinating this, Erik! It will be awesome to see our FFR friends at the Tatuado Bar at Circus Circus! So much going on at SEMA this year, and I'm truly stoked to be in the FFR booth again this year. Looking forward to some good times!!!

    Hi Erik,
    Add me to the list of attendees. I have been practicing my 30 most favorite Karaoke numbers all week in the shower. Tom Jones has nothing on me. I may be limited to the number of songs I can perform since jetBlue charges for the 2nd checked bag and, of course, each of my numbers requires a separate costume.
    I am looking forward to the craziness that has been the norm the past three years I have attended SEMA, and hope to be a part of the new highs (and some lows) of this year.
    And Erik, make sure they have a shower on stage at the Tatuado Bar at Circus Circus? I don't do anything without a shower!

    Look at the dates above, you tagged last years bar night thread. You should reply to this years thread so Erik has a good count.
    See you there
