Re: big IDEA: Jukebox in the Cafe

it would be nice if everytime you put a song on it automatically dimmed the lights in the cafe and then did an appropriate light display (eg for slowdancing music just a mirrorball making infinite stars, for party music strobes and lazers etc).
Just an idea.

Re: big IDEA: Jukebox in the Cafe

how much is a jukebox anyway? It would be pretty and i'm sure you could hack it to play mp3s or whatever? And i agree, having people interact with the music in the space would be very nice.
