That's a nice idea. My first tip would be to hurry up and do it before
someone else tries it!
London has a night where people bring their own tunes (called CDR, or
something like that I think, anyone know?). Plus numerous open deck and
open iPod/digital audio player nights (e.g. noWax).
But nothing like this. In this case, participating would be quite a
specialist thing... maybe do a schedule of the night a couple of weeks
beforehand, to prevent gaps? Depends on how spontaneous you expect it to be.
More power to your cause!
