She is a visionary singer and songwriter.

She has been called the mother of MP3.

She has hits known worldwide such as “Luka” and “Tom’s Diner”.

And she is now in 3-D! On Thursday, August 3, 2006 at 5:00 p.m. SLT, Suzanne Vega will be the first major recording artist ever to play in Second Life. Hosted by John Hockenberry, this historic mixed-reality broadcasting event, called “Through the Looking Glass” is the first of a four-part recording series. Residents will be able to ask questions of the guests in a town-hall style event in The Infinite Mind sim. The music and conversation will be broadcast on live streaming audio as well as being simulcast at The Infinite Mind website.

Tickets are free and will only be available beginning 9 a.m. SLT the day of each show. The Infinite Mind sim will be open at 9 a.m. each day. Click the ticket booth at the amphitheater to receive your ticket and be added to the guest list.

To ensure an enjoyable experience to all in attendance, low lag rules will be strictly enforced. Prim hair, skirts, animators, poofers and attachments of any kind will not be allowed under any circumstances. Collars and furries excepted.

Go Now!

Are the tix transferrable? IOW, can I have someone who doesn't have a 9-5 job like me pop over @ 9SLT and pick one up for me? Some of us have jobs and can't camp out.

This is sweet, but unfortunately, there are a lot more people interested in hearing all of these professionals than can fit on the sim. Anyway of offering repeaters?

Any way to film & live video stream to other sims, or are we not that far yet?

Wow..is this for real? Kurt Vonnegut was largley responsible for my love of literature. I stumbled across a few of his books when I was an impressionable young teen and they led me on my path to becoming a truly twisted and sarcastic human being.

And Suzanne Vega is wonderful as well. I am really impressed!!

So lets see, live, live vid feed, live audio feed, machinema terrestrial radio - see where giving you all 5 ways to catch this ground breaking event.. In addition at the show and from there aftyer there will be special t shirts made with each avatars picture on it and the date of the show, once the shows are over tyhey can bne aquired in the soims boutique and there will be alink to enable you to but a RL version of the shirts as well.

Thank you Milady!

It is our pleasure, ours and the folks at The Infinite Mind to bring you programs like this on an on going basis. This is not a series of one offs but rather a full scale effort to create a permanent home for Public Media in the metaverse. iIf this goes the way it should, and we know it will, this will be the first of many such broadcasts - changing the way the world looks at all of us here in Sl and how we look at the world

Bo, could you please clarify for me, is SV going to be performing in SL as an avitar like the rest of the live performers in SL do, or is she letting you simulcast the stream? I'm confused :-)

Please allow me to unconfuse you Ms Vega is both performing and being interviewed by John Hockenberry noted journalist. Both Ms. Vega and Mr Hockenberry will be in world in avatar live just like any other "normal standard " performers. No diffrent really then if Juel were peforming from her bedroom except well its Suzzane Vega from a studio in NYC but she will still be in studio and in world and live as live gets

Couple questions, since the grid is still partly fooked..

1.) The Infinite Mind sim is hidden?
2.) What aspect ration is the video feed? I'm setting up my screen for it :D

I am going to do my best to be there, even if I have to wear slider hair, *cries*. One question though, you say no attachments of any kind are allowed but you're allowing furries? You do realize most furry avatars are made from prims? You might want to clarify a bit better so there's no confusion. I'm looking forward to the event! :).

Because we all know Furries are born that way, and the world will end if the BDSM crowd are asked to remove their collars...

Yes there's a very fine line between accomodating technological limitations and retaining a touchy feely reputation with the community. It's obvious that asking a Gorian to remove a collar, or a Furrie to pack a hundred-prim av, will only result in wailing and the knashing of discriminated teeth.

Flexible wings have become an integral part of my sprite av; however, I wouldn't dream of imposing them on a sim full of people listening to a stream. Isn't it odd that TIM have to be cautiously concerned about community needs, but the people they're accomodating don't. Hm, I suppose people who care about the rest of us will remove their attachments; one's that don't care will take advantage of the hosts' largess.
