THE ROCK POTLUCK IS SATURDAY, JANUARY 12TH 2008!!!!! For those not familiar with the event, the Rock Potluck premise
is simple, yet highly
entertaining. 40 personally
invited musicians representing
36 different bands will
meet at 12 p.m. on the
day of the Rock Potluck
(
Saturday, January
12th!). These
volunteers are organized
into eight groups at
random. The
eight new
groups are then released
to practice at different
locations throughout
the day. The musicians
have nine hours to fashion
a band name and three
songs (two originals
and one cover). The
groups will then perform
what they have created
in front of a live audience
that evening in the
gymnasium of the historic
Milo Arts Building (located
at 617 East 3rd Avenue
Columbus, Ohio 43201).

MAPQUEST IT!
The musicians selected for this event are chosen from a wide variety of groups in the Columbus, OH area in an
attempt to represent a unique mix of personalities and musical styles. The event intends to bring together many
facets of a music community that may seem incompatible, as well as artists whose interests may conflict or never
otherwise cross paths. The challenge for these musicians is to work together to create a unified group project that
still contains the personal styles of each of the participants.
