Tasks / Public Piano
Find a piano in a public space such as a shopping center, hotel lobby, restaurant or office building. Piano and instrument stores do not count.
When people are present and nobody is currently playing, start performing as if you are supposed to be there. If you don't know how to play the piano, try holding down the sustain pedal (right pedal) and slowly strike a random key every couple seconds. Avoid annoying people with "Chopsticks" and "Heart and Soul." Change the ambience of your surroundings with your ivory tickling.
Optional: Go out of your way to dress the part.
Optional: Have a tip jar and collect tips.
Document with video or photos and audio. Showing the reactions of other people a plus.
