Musicians Take over Chatroulette – Lets get a bunch of musicians to “take over” Chatroulette for a day. Share your music with random people – and get instant feedback! If they don’t like your tunes, they’ll click “next” (and be prepared to click next yourself). But you’ll be amazed how many people will appreciate your performance!

All you have to do is set up a webcam and a good way of capturing the audio on your computer. Then show up on chatroulette.com and play tunes until you get bored or grossed out. Or both. This is an *experiment*. It’s completely anonymous, so why not try it out!?!?

PLEASE USE THE HASHTAG #MusicTakeOver

Time: 12:00pm till Saturday, June 5, 2010 at 11:30pm

Location: On the interwebz at chatroulette.com

Tickets: None
