NBC Universal in Second Life

Posted Nov 29th 2006 12:59PM by Aimee Weber

Tonight at 8:55pm EST (5:55pm SLT) NBC Universal will be hosting a virtual Christmas Tree Lighting in Second Life to go hand-in-hand with the lighting of the RL tree in Rockefeller Center. You can attend the event by arriving at any of the 19 sims with the NBC name (NBC 1-19.)

The NBC Universal Headquarters build where the event will be hosted was a collaborative effort between Aimee Weber Studio as the in-world lead (this blogger's company) and the famed Bedazzle Studio. Visitors will be treated with Christmas presents under each tree (a total of nine) and a free pair of ice skates by Moopf which visitors can use to show their stuff on the virtual ice skating rink The sim also includes a lovely coffee shop and elevator rides to the posh Peacock Room high atop the central building. Electric Sheep will be handling streaming services including live musical entertainment and a simulcast on the NBC website.

Addendum: If you can't make it into Second Life, the event will be streamed here.

4. As Borat would say, "es NICE! ... HIGH FIVE!"
I had a blast skating on the ice rink, busting impressive 360-flip jumps. Too bad the Christmas trees weren't for sale, I would have bought one for my land.

5. While nice for your business, this was a shock and slap in the face to those of us who live where you set up in SL. We pay a lot of money to live in a beautiful area with very restrictive rules. It's sad and frustrating to see that, just as in real life, land owners' rights matter little when enough money is involved.
