It's kind of surreal to "recognize" who people's avatars are. Nice bit of promotion.  -Sun |

Congratulations to all involved. I have always been curious, how does U2 feel about their likenesses and music being used in this way?

Congratulations to all involved. I have always been curious, how does U2 feel about their likenesses and music being used in this way? Yea Cris, you are not alone with that curiosity. We are in contact with Principle Management in Dublin/NYC since last year June. They know about U2inSL, they have all the information about SL and our endeavors. We talked on the phone with guys in Dublin and NYC. The replies we are getting each time:..."We've got your fax/email/letter/call. We'll check it. We'll get back to you!" Nobody has told us to stop it yet, nobody has told us that it's ok. Even MTV didn't get a reply. So we keep going, every ONE of us, until get told different. |

I think this is soooo friggin coool!!!
--- and side note: "7 avatars, picked to live in a sim, to find out what happens when people stop being real, and start being pixelated. The Real World - second life... ... oh my god, I was so pissed, her like animations are so annoying, she never cleans up her prims, she brought home this 15yr old AV posing as a 21yr old... so I called a house meeting to talk about her laggy ass." _____________________

Actually we were working on something like that last year with Bedazzle for a producer from Hollywood. Was a pilote project called New Life City. It is supposed to be a reality/game show that involves rw actors and their look-alikes in SL. We don't know when/if it will be aired.

Good luck with it and congrats again _____________________

And I wouldn't even care if they'd come at us and act surprised...as long as we'd get a friggin reply already, that tells us definately what they think about it in Dublin. Right now we feel like getting told.."It's okay, kids...whateva..go play!" So we do... ....and all you lurkers...go to ONE.org and sign the petition please! |
