An artistic or musical endeavor that's doomed to fail and therefore should be covered in
gas before ever attempting.
Also can be used to describe
music created in the closet of a trailer and hyped on Reverbnation. Literally "coming out of the closet trailer park
music".
"I was thinking of starting a
band, but I'm sure it would end up being a Gas Can Project."
"My
buddy is coming over later to give me an "oral presentation". I think we'll do it in my closet and call it The GasCan Project."
Can be used to describe where an individual,such as this, lives as well: "Yeah you can come over and record some
music in my closet, I live in the GasCan Projects...."
