This weekend, the pro-Obama community is putting on a major music festival in the virtual world Second Life! Second Life is a virtual world over over one million residents where you can work, play, have fun, and do just about anything you can do in the real world (or RL as Second Lifers call it).
Obama for President, Second Life's largest group (1200+ strong) wanted something BIG for the night after the debate.
And WOW do we have it! An all day LIVE Music Fest on Saturday (2pm-10pm Eastern) and half-day Sunday (2pm-6pm). More about the Fest and its goals (Registering Voters and getting volunteers) below.
First- a bit about the Obama campaign in Second Life. Here is some old ABC footage you might find enlightening!
NOW ABOUT THE MUSIC FEST!
What does a live music Fest in Second Life mean? Well just what it says, real musicians playing and singing a variety of music genres (from rock and hip-hop, R&B to country) LIVE into their microphones and onto Second Life.
While these may not be the biggest stars on earth, they are hugely popular in Second Life, and some have recorded CDs in real life.
