Your vote:
Yes No

Tara Hunt, Whuffaoke: The Karaoke Road Trip
Description:
Karaoke came on like a ninja...stealthily entering North American pubs and Koreatowns. But it wasn't here to enterain, no. Karaoke came to unite us in song. In fact, Karaoke is a core part of our reMix culture and this panel will show you how. This stellar group of speakers (some of whom wrote books on the subject) will uncover the real impetus behind the karaoke revolution.
Questions
Answered:
  1. How can karaoke unite a local community?
  2. If karaoke is a F2F exercise, how does it unite people virtually?
  3. Does karaoke cross the digital divide?
  4. What are some ways to get over one's fear of karaoke to join this exciting movement?
  5. How has karaoke changed your lives?
  6. What was Whuffaoke?
  7. What goes into the planning of a karaoke road trip?
  8. Where does one begin with organizing karaoke meetups in their area? What is needed?
  9. What are some basic karaoke tips so that everyone can really bring it?
  10. Where does karaoke go from here?

We'll teach you how to rock each and every karaoke venue, how to spread the karaoke WORD, how to unite the world with bad singing, PLUS controversial topics, like what songs NOT to do (this is going to be a fun argument!)
