Dueling Piano-Singluar?

I was more then ecstatic when I got an inbox about dueling pianos at Vito's on the Thursday we got back from Spring Break. What a perfect motivation to get through the week? My group of friends and I learned out lesson and attempted to get there early enough to enjoy it for a while before it got too mobbed. We arrived around 10ish, which in our case is extremely early to head downtown. Our early entrance made no difference, it was a mob scene. And to my dismay, THERE WAS ONLY ONE PIANO. How devastating.
I would of rather just listened to the radio really loud then this guy singing karaoke and smashing the piano keys. It was cheesy and cliche. Think of 5 songs you'd assume to hear at a karaoke bar...yeah he played those, all five. Jesse's Girl? Sweet Caroline?Don't Stop Believing? I could go on.
I was pretty bummed, and not to mention the service...sucked? You stand there waving big bills just to get any bartenders attention, then secretly trade your 20 for a 5 obviously. The shots were measly and small, and of course the bartenders secretly trick you into ordering the expensive beer instead of the one that is the $1.50 special. When I ask for a beer, I clearly mean I want the cheap one unless I say otherwise? You'd think? Not them though.
There were also cops grabbing groups of people left and right, thats always suspenseful. I don't see myself attending next months 'Dueling Piano' unless he finds someone to battle of course, oh and that new piano man fires the first guy and brings someone new.
