Re: Hacker Karaoke

Bascule: I *have* posted silly goose. Now then for the seriousness ( I will try to be serious) with all of the support for karaoke at this event as well as some other off events which people here have paricipated. I am looking for space primarily, and will be reaching out to a few folks who have supported, DefCon, myself and/or ghettogeeks.com in the past. You know who you are. be afraid, *very* afraid. I am looking at this being the FIRST on site Official DefCon karaoke event, and based on particpation may be done in years to come. so put on your party hats, drink cups/glasses, and vocal chords of golden +10 and rawk the house with us. More details will come as I get approvals from people.

Re: Hacker Karaoke

dude.. I am allergic to karaoke.. it makes me break out in running away screaming

A great lesson in why you should never gamble. It appears I would have lost my bet

Re: Hacker Karaoke

If this does get a venue, time etc., we can break it out into its own event forum. Bascule, are you the organizer of this if it is an event?

OverDose is the organizer, I am just the tech monkey (and possibly DJ)

Re: Hacker Karaoke

Does Siviak have the penthouse again? Betcha he'd let you do it up there.

Re: Hacker Karaoke

I will ask around, no promises though. Maybe we can set you up in somewhere. I'll put it on my todo list. :-)

Re: Hacker Karaoke

Awesome! I understand you both are going to be very busy but if there's anything you can do in the way of helping us locate a venue it would be much appreciated. I think we're almost set on content and equipment, the only problem that remains is where to put it.

Re: Hacker Karaoke

I hope this happens. I think it would be fun as hell to watch...and shit...if I'm drunk enough, participate in.

You can count on me for sure!!!!!!! And maybe Neil if we get him drunk.

Re: Hacker Karaoke

Not sure why OverDose hasn't posted here, but he's working diligently on trying to do Hacker Karaoke on-site at the Riviera. In my opinion, that would RULE. No trying to organize transportation for a bunch of people, just show up to a skybox or something and sing!

In my traditional style, I am trying to help out in a purely technical capacity as he handles the organization. Provided this all works out, I will bring a large CD+G library and a computer to play it with, along with a mixer and mics. I can print out a songbook and I'd also like to have the whole song list available online, as well as a listing of the karaoke rotations (which I will display on the projector from time to time). I will also have a vocal eliminator available, so if you have a song memorized and have an MP3 of it you can just give it to me and I will play it through a vocal eliminator for you.

If you have a Skybox you'd be willing to hold karaoke in for part of your assigned Skybox period, that would rule. I think we're set on a sound system, and hopefully set on projectors and monitors.

Re: Hacker Karaoke

We (Vegas 2.0) have been doing sort of karaoke-con for the past two cons.

The staff has always been awesome toward us, and the cab fare to get there is cheap (which is useful with all of the aforementioned lemon soju floating around). We can definitely use more people, though. It's a private room so no worries about language (not that the staff would mind anyway).

For those that are interested, the normal order is SushiCon, then chill out at the Peppermill, followed by some good, but mostly bad, karaoke. It shouldn't be hard to track us down.

We (Vegas 2.0) have been doing sort of karaoke-con for the past two cons. A whole bunch of us just roll out to Korean Karaoke Super Place (Karaoke 5 I think) across from UNLV. Its a lemon soju fueled adventure. This is how I ended up the first year. It ha always been a blast.
