Click the screenshot to reach the Wired office
If you only go to one in your life, you've got to go to a Wired Magazine party. I say that not just because Wired's CPU-shaped Second Life office was created by Millions of Us, a sponsor to this blog, but as someone who's been to many. In the heydays of the first dot com boom, for example, they threw one in a three-story building, with every floor featuring a different band and an open bar; last year, they scaled back slightly, and just took over the famed Fillmore concert hall, and got DJ Danger Mouse (pre-Gnarls Barkley) to play a live set. Will be interesting to see how much of that bleeding edge wildness they're able to recreate virtually, but then, they do have sushi, so that's a start.
Kick off is tomorrow at 4pm, with last call at 7pm. (Direct teleport here.) More details after the break.
My Wired editor Chris Baker (known in SL as Chris Calliope, a brutal but personable killer battle 'bot) sends along the word: "The party that will last three hours. Wired hopes that SL residents will come to chat with their representatives, take tours of the build, and listen to specially recorded music for the event from [name redacted at artist's request, 11/08] and The Kleptones. Sushi and an open bar of drinks will be available, in the spirit of real life Wired parties!"
