Who needs a TV Aerial? And why surf the net alone?

From our group description:
Two computers are set up and two people/jockeys take turns projecting their favorite youtube videos (or Vimeo etc) on a big screen with the proviso that only a couple of minutes get shown. After a couple of rounds the audience chooses their favorite jockey to keep going (whoever gets the most applause) while the other jockey gets replaced and someone else volunteers to have a go.
It naturally veers towards humour because laughter is infectious in a group I suppose but anything goes (bizarre arty video, for instance, is often funny anyhow). It is this group experience that makes the concept work otherwise we may as well just keep clicking away at home.

We will have the room to ourselves but drinks at reasonable prices are available downstairs, and there is a kitchen. We can eat during the session or whenever. The pub is the most eccentric you will find in Sydney and is worth visiting in its own right.

It is on the corner of this street full of sculptures, many of which would have changed since this video...
