Who: Brent & BB & OPEN
What: Someone's putting his April Fool's gift to use.
Where: Brent's apartment, 104
When: Tuesday, April 18th
The door to 104 was standing open. Just inside were a pair of speakers, quite small to be putting out the volume and depth of sound they were. Behind the speakers was a karaoke machine, also deceptively small. And in front of the lot, clad in stained jacket, graphic tee, and battered jeans, stood a man who apparently fancied himself a singer. Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain" featured a number of notes no skilled singer could hit, and Brent was decidedly not a skilled singer. He missed every note and most of the words, and yet this did not stop him belting them out at the top of his voice, helped along by the unnecessary power of the speakers at his back. Without bothering to read the lyrics, the only ones he truly knew were the chorus, and so the cacophony swelled each time it came around.
"I set fiiiiiiire to the raaaaaaaaain, watched it pour as I touched your face, well it burned while I cried, 'cause I heard it screaming out your name, your naaaaaame..."
