Launch Event
Supreme Court Cafe & Nightclub
Aug. 21, 8-11pm
This civic karaoke campaign, designed by artist Daniel Peltz, utilizes digital media to translate a dozen Republican and Democratic Presidential Candidate addresses from the 2008 campaigns into karaoke formats, allowing citizens to reenact them at local "Karaoke Convention Centers"-i.e., karaoke bars around Denver that will feature the project. The public is invited to bring themselves closer to the story of this historic campaign by, for example, performing a speech thanking New Hampshire for a win or dropping out of the race in Louisiana. The launch event for this week-long project, hosted by local karaoke VJs from Alien Entertainment, will include performances by Mayor John Hickenlooper, Congressman Mark Udall, State Senator Joan Fitz-Gerald, and Ray Rivera, Colorado State Director for Barack Obama's Presidential Campaign. A list of "Karaoke Convention Centers" will be available soon.
