ironchefofmusic chicago call for participants

Hay friends,

My fellow ironcheffers and I are planning to host another cheffing as part of a set of live performances in Chicago. If it goes well, we will host it monthly on a Saturday to go along with the weekly online-cheffings.

The plan is for every chef who comes, in addition to participating in the composition and exposition, to also perform a 15-25min live set with any gear they wish. There will be three tables so one or more can set up while one or more are breaking down and maintain the flow. Every set will be recorded and blogged, with bios and follow-up interviews if you wish. There will also be VJing throughout by local and imported VJs.

I want computer musicians from far-and-wide to come out and participate, bring some cds/vinyl/mp3s to share, and turn it into an engaging and enlightening meet-and-greet-demo-swap. We will also have a lot of telecommuters.

There will be pizza and snacks available; possibly byob as we want to make it all-ages. It would also be rad if everyone could live with a $5 donation for the space and ameneties and VJs.

Preliminary itinerary:
8p-1130p - 15-25min open-mic sessions
9p-11p - icom composition (those performing during may need to sacrafice chef time)
1130p-1230p - exposition of submitted icom tracks and discussion (limit 5min per track unless we have time)
1230-??? - 15-25min open-mic sessions / possibly a headliner
???-??? - ??? (perhaps the 21+ cheffs could go take over Wicker Park)

I need to estimate the level of interest so if you are interested, please comment this post or email/im me:
