A Live Performance in Your Living Room?

led others in an intimate Q&A.

What was the Living Room Tour Work?
Once the film was finished Slash created a non-profit called the "The
Living Room Tour," and then set out to book the documentary in as
many living rooms as he could.
How did it work?
A host would invite 8 or more of your friends over. The event was free for
the host and her family. Each friend iwas then asked to make a sliding
scale donation of $10-$25.
