5 all new singers for the site this week. Whoo Hoo! Get your clickin' on vote for your favorite. Coming up though will be the "draw Chris from Fuzzwuzzle.com" contest. So get your pencils and scanners going, entry details will be up soon. Also if you know anyone who goes to OTHER (like really) karaoke shows that may want to get involved in this they can send through a copy of their performance and a picture for cartooning. I will reserve the right to refuse any submission due to sound quality or due to content I personally feel should not be on the site. Pictures should be a clear headshot, but I will work with what I get.

It's rapidly approaching a full year since this sites launch, so to celebrate there are some updates coming.
Soon we will be launching a contest for all of you out there who are following Karaoke Idol every week. I never really cared much for my own cartoon that has shown up there and I will be soon posting the contest rules and submission guidelines for a contest to 'cartoon Chris for FuzzWuzzle.com'. There will be prizes and such for the top entry, more details soon.
BUT other exciting news is also here, due to circumstances that were really beyond my control, I have a new recording system for Karaoke Idol. Yes, yes, the ever thrifty me now has a brand new shiny laptop that records BEAUTIFULLY on the system down at the Fox. So shortly we will be having a much improved quality on our Karaoke Idol recordings. It has been a point of contention with many (including myself really) so stay tuned.
BUT WAIT!!, there's even more news involving the Karaoke Idol portion of the site..... have you been wanting to know a little more about what goes on the recording side and the collection side of it? NO? Well you're not alone, join other Karaoke Idol contestants/followers on the new FACEBOOK group. It's open to anyone who wishes to join... and no Spago, just because you created a FACEBOOK group doesn't mean you'll get on the site more frequently....just kidding, bribery works wonders.
Outside of the FuzzWuzzle.com venue though there is another thing that I'm involved in that means a great deal to me, the Knights of Columbus. This year I have been elected to be the new Grand Knight for our local council, so I thought, hey I have this media source at my discression and I have a little project/bet starting with the council, why not post it here and see if anything comes of it. The Knights have been supporting a project known as the Emily fund for some time now, it is a local organization dedicated to the suppying of insulin pumps for children who require them but come from families where they can not afford them. These little things cost about 6400.00 each, so I am putting forward a little proposal to our council, if our council can raise the money to buy ONE insulin pump by May 2008, I will let the council publicly shave my head at our closing dinner next June. So how does this little news tidbit affect you the reader? Well if you want to donate to the cause, you can do so by clicking the 'donations' button on the main page and tag your paypal donation as 'for the emily fund'.
Cheers and Salutations, keep watching there's more to come.

So the last week of Karaoke Idol hads had little bit of a downturn, but I'm sure that will change. To perk things up I'm announcing a contest. Originally only going to be listed through Live Journal, but I'm going to post it here. The deadline is ONE WEEK AWAY! Record yourself singing some form of Winter Holiday/seasonal song and send it to me at the email address on the contest page. Mark the subject line as Karaoke Idol Contest. Also submit your picture for cartooning with the submission. All entrants chosen for the contest will receive their original cartoon made for the site. And the Winner, which will be announced Christmas Day will not only have their full song posted, but will also receive a Karaoke Idol T-Shirt, a CD with up to 15 songs that have been posted to the site (winner's choice), a copy of my personal CD and possibly more. Get your submissions in soon, Deadline is Dec 12th by 11:59 pm EST.

Karaoke is up and running, get voting, because the winner will be announced Monday and new contestants added. Also thinking about adding a section called "This Creepy Old House" where I'll put pics of the house from Halloween, have a few years of pics that I can go through I think.

Hello there, just put the finishing touches to the images for KARAOKE IDOL and cut down the week's sounds file so we have the first 5 KARAOKE IDOL contestants. Hopefully by the beginning of the week we'll have open voting for the first IDOL. Then tune in next week to see who the winner is and hear the FULL song. Also I should be adding a link to a short video capture from the Halloween Karaoke party where I won the costume contest, perhaps we'll just add a page link and make a page out of it. We'll see. Oh and more Jack-o-lanterns were recently added to the site and there are a few more to be added shortly, so if you liked them, keep checking.

I guess it's technically the 27th as it is 1am right now. Just got in from the Karaoke Halloween party, and soon there will be more pics on here, I won 1st in the costume contest. YEAH !!

The GlassGiant.com jack-o-Lanterns are up, things are busy lately so there isn't a lot happening on the site at the moment. I'm hoping that "early" costume pics will be on before halloween, so keep watching. Also this THURSDAY is the halloween KARAOKE, watch for pics and maybe video footage to be posted shortly afterwards.

I just got the pictures in from Glassgiant.com, they arn't posted yet on that site yet or this one, but soon the two Jack-o-lanterns that I carved for destruction last night will be arriving on the site here soon. Check back for them soon. Also trying to get some early costume pictures to add to the site as well. Things are really moving along here.

So I made a few changes to the plans for now, added recently was the "Jack-0-Lanterns" section. These are all ones that I have done over the last few years with more to be added before Halloween. I spent a great night out with my good friends over at GlassGiant.com. We made things go smash. So enjoy, the Karaoke Idol section will be up in the next little while, still getting the bugs worked out on the recording end of things. The "Project Halloween" section was getting quite in depth witht eh work I wanted to put into it, unfortuneately I will also have a great deal to add to it following this Halloween, so I'm putting it on the backburner for the moment and plan to work on it as soon as I get a few other things done up.
