WHITEVALE HAS "SOME" TALENT

Yes, after the August Mix N Mingle it is clear that we have some very talented people at Whitevale.

"The Jar" started the evening off in grand fashion. "The Jar" has been singing his song for years but never in mixed company. His performance is generally reserved for the Men's Opening Field Day so when he hit the first note, the women in the audience just broke down in sheer laughter.

Following "The Jar" is no easy task but the Social Committee delivered with far to many highlights to mention as the audience was simply in hysterical laughter.

Then Bernie hit the stage with his poem "Ode to the Vale" - we know one look at Bernie and all you see an artistic misunderstood poet. His words had the audience laughing, embarrassed, angry and confused all within the 8 minutes it took him to read his words. We are not sure if he destroyed his work after it was read out load (some artists do this so their work does not get misinterpreted by the bourgeoisie class) but if he hasn't, we recommend you buy him a grey goose martini and ask him to recite the poem once again.
Once all the real talent finished, the Karaoke went into full swing. Being a little shy, no member volunteered to jump up on stage to follow Karaoke expert Luiz deCarvalho, so our GM volunteered. All we can say is - -by lord Alex, you are one awful singer. The good news is with Alex so horrific at carrying a tune, everyone else felt they couldn't do much worse. Although Brad and Bernie came close.

If you some of pictures of the night, please send them along. It was such a great night that I'm sure this will be repeated next year. So start working on your talent for 2011 Whitevale.
