Symphony Karaoke - what the hell is it?
Category
Bob has already mentioned that Symphony Karaoke will be on in Kimonos at 7.30pm on Tuesday 20, January 20th. The abstract for this bit of fun is..
"New! Symphony Karaoke @ Kimono's
Making it's Lotusphere debut, Symphony Karaoke is a blatant parody of the dreaded "business culture". Join us as brave volunteers "present" a random deck of slides, struggling to link one slide to the next, taking what was once tedious corporate monologue and transforming it into five minutes of raucous fun and hilarity. We Lotusphere attendees love to have fun at our own (and other's!) expense, and this is the place to do it. Along with Speedgeeking and JamFest, we're betting that this will become yet another popular Lotusphere tradition!"
Earlier this year at Admincamp, Greg Engels hosted Presentation Karaoke. Its a simple concept really, and at the time, was hilarious.
We have 50 or so random presentations. They can be *anything*. The chances of them being IT related are low!
Volunteers put their name forward, and we pick at random, they then get on stage, and present for 5 minutes on a random presentation, which they have never seen before. I had to present on genetic research!
The objective is "how much can you even try to sound like you know what you are on about", or "how much can you entertain while in some way keeping along with the presentation".
The winner will be decided by applause.. or maybe Greg, Bob and I will pick it.
The sessions will be random, or, if we know you and do/don't like you, watch out.
Gregory will bring you through the rules.... He is a big guy - best off not arguing.
This will be a bit of fun. Expect booing/cheering/abuse as deemed necessary! I may volunteer some people aswell, incase they are shy ;)
If you are interested in being part of it (we will be looking for people to kick it off), comment here, or drop me a note. Feel free to turn up on the night and drop your name in a hat. Gregory has posted on this aswell.
