Does anybody know where to find a 1 inch wide hole punch?

Last night I went to terrible karaoke at Stinger bar. I used to believe that karaoke was the music of the people. Anybody can get up and have their moment in the sun, however bad they are. But I don't know, after seeing 1,000 million uninspired, moderately unpleasant renditions of Hit Me With Your Best Shot, I'm kind of done with it.

This does not apply to strange Chinese karaoke or Joe McGinty's live lounge-style karaoke. Those are still good. Also the three teenage girls who got up and did hip-hop songs together were good.

What else? It's my weekend, kids. Oh, I got a free haircut at a new place in Williamsburg called Public. I don't know why minimalism is supposed to be cool still. It's not that pleasant to come to a totally empty storefront with mirrors balanced against the wall and ultra-jaded fashion people yammering about Marc and Anna and whoever. Although I have to say that the girl who cut my hair was real nice and told me a funny story about a model who tried to steal her hairspray backstage.
And, they put salt water spray into my hair to make it crunchy and bedheaded and devil-may-care. Have any of you come across this thing? I can't decide if I like it or not. I am going to make my own: bottled water, sea salt, spray bottle (costs $15 from bumble and bumble.)

The salt might strip your hair though if you use it too much. Especially if it's colored or processed in any way.

It's a weird idea, right? It doesn't seem particularly good for it.

one inch hole punch ---> try a craft or scrapbooking store. you can buy those little doo-dads in all different shapes to punch out of paper, and i've seen them with just circles too, which would effectively be a one-inch holepunch. does that make sense?

Hit Me With Your Best Shot ---> here, it's "Love Shack."

strange Chinese karaoke ---> what exactly is this? at one of the bars here, it's flashlight karaoke, which means that the guy walks around and randomly spotlights two people with the flashlight, then they are required to go sing to whatever song he chooses. it was quite nervewracking the first time i went (so of course i got spotlighted), but it is highly entertaining.

salt water spray into my hair to make it crunchy and bedheaded ---> haven't heard of this although it sounds like it contributes to a cool look. let us know if it does any lasting damage. :P

I got the hole punch on the Internet. There are very few craft stores in NYC for some reason.
Chinese karaoke is in Chinatown and the songs are in Chinese with crazy videos. Flashlight karaoke sounds scary.
