May 14: Mixed Reality Music in Second Life/San Francisco

Keiko and Melanie headline in both realities (Mel's photo by Daniel Giberson)

If you're in the Bay Area Wednesday after next, mark your calendar:  On May 14th, there's a huge mixed reality live music fest starting at 7:30pm.  The RL portion is onstage at the Rock-It Room in San Francisco, on Clement and Fifth in the Inner Richmond.  (Details on the Second Life stream to come.)  The event brings together seven musicians who use SL as a performance/promotion venue, headlined by Keiko Takamura and Melanie Keller.  I interviewed Keiko about her great BioShock-inspired song here; here's a lovely and ethereal video of Melanie last performing at Rock-It.  They're joined by Haley Bailey, Jacopo de Nicola, Pato Milo, and BabbleGrabble Swindlehurst.  (ZeroOne Paz accompanies Keiko on percussion.)  I continue to be impressed by the growing variety and talent of the metaverse music scene.  Just hope I can make the show myself.   

And since I used to live in the Richmond district, here's some pre and post-show suggestions a few blocks away: consider Vietnamese at Minh's Garden, dessert at Toy Boat, and book browsing at Green Apple, you won't be disappointed.
