Rock Lottery 3 this Saturday:

Here's how it works: Twenty-five hand picked musicians meet at 10:00AM at the evenings performance venue. These volunteers are organized into five groups through a lottery-based chance selection. The five separate groups are then released to practice at different locations. The musicians have twelve hours to create a band name and three to five songs (with a one cover-song limit). The groups will then perform what they have created that evening in front of a waiting audience.

I'm plugging this for two reasons: 1) it's a benefit for a good cause (being the Vera Project), and 2) I'm one of the 25 musicians doing it. So clearly you should be there.
