I've started an eventful.org "demand" (as in, "by popular demand";) to get Wil Wheaton to come and do a (voice) reading of his work in Second Life. I don't have a specific venue in mind, but it seems like this could be a great fund-raising opportunity for the charity of his choice.

Wil has mentioned eventful.org on his blog several times (that's where I first heard of it), and has indicated that it's a good way to request appearances from him. Considering that going into SL doesn't involve a plane trip and a hotel stay - not to mention the high geeky-coolness factor - I think it stands a decent chance of success.

(No, I haven't e-mailed him to ask. He has better things to do than to read thousands of individual e-mails asking him to do this or that event. Doing it this way, he can see how much popular support he has for the idea.)

Thanks, and please tell your friends.
