Musicians Take Over Chatroulette →

http://chatroulette.com/ is a website that connects you (webcam and audio) to another random chatroulette user in the world. You can click “next” at any time to connect to another random user. 

Its full of all sorts of people (ok, mostly guys, but not entirely), and yes, a lot of people doing very, uh, rated R (or worse) things. You can *always* click “next” or “report”.

So what’s this event? 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 http://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!?!?

Who knows, maybe you’ll even find other musicians and make new musical friends!

***Please feel free to add to the invite list. We would like to make this a national/worldwide event, so the more, the merrier!*** 

PLEASE USE THE HASHTAG #MusicTakeOver on your various social media (twitter, youtube, flicker, etc)
