Buckin’ Idol Battle for Gay Rodeo Glory Tonight
Tonight at the Mint, ( IMHO the only karaoke bar that matters) in addition to the usual karaoke free for all featuring plenty o’ show tunes & a relentless retinue of 70’s 80’s leftovers, there will be a special country fried competition, a karaoke rodeo roundup if you will.
Starting at 8 pm there will be 6 final contestants who were whittled down from previous rounds for the finals of the Buckin’ Idol contest. The winner of this event tonight gets to sing on stage at the International Gay Rodeo circuit’s Bay Area Best Buck In The Bay festivities happening on Saturday the 15th at The Cathedral Hill Hotel. Well Dang Me!
If you can handle the tension and the krazy karaoke cowboy politics, come on down to cheer them on, and get a drink from your most hospitable bartending hostess with mostest, Jane. 
If you are a real rootin’ tootin’ rodeo fan, consider attending the actual gay rodeo competition at Driscoll Ranch in La Honda.

First time I was at the Mint, the star from Hedwig & the Angry Inch came onstage and sang a NIrvana song, then stage-dove. Needless to say he won the contest of the night, a poster of Justin & Kelly. The Mint Rocks.
What, no plug for the Hearth (Geary @ 11th, San Francisco)? That’s where Nancy was singin’ Carrie Underwood, she also bartends there…
