Title: Painted pianos in public places project
Post by: ProjectMaximus on February 06, 2013, 01:21:05 AM
All alliteration aside, I have a question about these pianos. I'd like to use one of them in a video I'm shooting Thursday afternoon and want to make sure I know what is where. Is this piano http://citykeys.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=35&Itemid=53 still outside MOCA? Or is that now at MOSH as the website indicates?

Does Chamblins still have a piano outside, and does it still have all the corporate logos on it? http://citykeys.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=47&Itemid=41

And where is the one that is supposed to be in front of the Landing? http://citykeys.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46&Itemid=37

Are there any in the Riverside/Avondale area?

Thanks in advance for any help!!

I think it's a great idea with the pianos.

Imagine the bars rolling out a dart board crawl and using a point system after 5 bars you finish at a location. Patrons can participate by voting on an overall winner and offer prizes. Can go all weekend. Pick a game. 2 out of 3. Lowest game amount after 5 spots wins. Other categories

Chamblin's, The Landing could participate. Doesn't just have to be the bar. Thoughts.

I really like the idea of random musical instruments in public places, period. 

Brunswick has a nice feature with the musical playscape park.

Well I did my own digging (ie, made two phone calls) and it seems like the greenish piano I want most is at MOSH. I wish it was still in the Hemming Park area from an aesthetic standpoint but oh well...I shall head to MOSH instead. :)
