HBO and Millions of Us present the Second Life premier of the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival
This just went out in Second Life to members of our Inside Millions of Us Group (open enrollment, btw). It’s the announcement of a very cool event we’re putting on live this Thursday March 1st at 2PM SLT with HBO from the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival.
“Pack your skis, put on your parka, and join us for some side splitting laughter as HBO and Millions of Us present the Second Life premier of the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival brought to you by HBO.
Each year, with a mission of discovery, innovation and tribute, the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival presents cutting-edge new talent to the industry and features appearances and performances by some of the biggest stars in comedy at the height of ski season in Aspen, Colorado.
Please join us for an exclusive roundup of entertainment including live broadcast from Aspen, Colorado and footage from the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival. The event will be hosted in HBO’s Virtual Comedy House, near the snow-capped mountains of Playground Island.”
The event will be hosted by the hilarious Hyla Matthews of This Just In, appearing as an avatar and presenting a variety of exclusive material from the festival.
Event starts at 2 PM SLT on Thursday, March 1st. Please IM Baccara Millionsofus to RSVP or email baccararhodes@gmail.com
