This
Saturday, February 15th, @ 7:30pm, I’ll be co-hosting “Live
from the Blogosphere!” at the Electronic
Orphanage gallery in Chinatown, LA with Rhizome and
the Reverse
Cowgirl.
The event is shaping up to be much fun — and we’re going to (crosses
fingers
humbly)
do
live
audio and
video webcasts so would-be attendees around the world can tune in.
Press
release is here.
Map is here. People
are flying in from San Francisco, Seattle, and Chicago to attend, but thanks
to some
fierce WLAN
love from Southern
California Wireless Users Group,
live video stream will run here for
those who can’t make it in person (RealPlayer required).
Prefer audio? A live Shoutcast audio stream will be provided here,
courtesy of Gabe and AvantBard. 802.11a and 802.11b WLANs will be in effect, so attendees can blog wirelessly via laptop throughout the evening.
Before and after the panel discussion
and audience “town hall meeting” on the state of the blogosphere, master
post-turntablist John
Von Seggern (whose work was noted on BoingBoing here and here)
will be
spinning and mashing sick, dope, funky Asian-fusion
grooves on his
laptop. If
you want to make a night out of it,
galleries all along the Chung
King Road art
district are holding openings that evening. Get your food on before or after
at local spots like Yang
Chow, or Full
House @ 963
North Hill Street. Afterparty at Hop
Louie post-event, with mind-numbingly delicious Singapore Slings. Arrive
early, as turn-out is expected to be strong. The Cowgirl says: “A
$5 donation will be requested of you by the undeniable Chuckles
the Clown at the door, or else she will get her spank on with your bootay.” Meet BoingBoing’s founding father Mark, plus Doc, Evan, Tony, Heather, Susannah, Beverly, me,
and an overflow crowd of really cool geeks… just like you. See you there, or online.
