This Can Only Go To My Head

Mr. Barefoot,

On the internet today I saw an Associated Press story regarding your getafirstlife.com. We are currently planning a meta-space music festival on Second Life to be held in mid-March (details to be presented soon at www.australianmusicoffice.com).

Based on the fantastic population of your world and potential audience 6 billion+ users, we’d like to host it in First Life as well. To that end, we ask that you grant us permission use some space in “Austin, Texas” on March 16th – that’s the site of SXSW. We will offer non-cyber beverages, streaming audio (directly from analog instruments), incredible 3-D graphics and even, get this, surround-smell 3.0 (BBQ scent!).

Please advise if you will grant us use of your world.

Australian Music Office
Australian Trade Commission
Australian Consulate — General
Los Angeles, CA

PS - Perhaps we can interest you in some Southern Hemisphere real estate.

I went ahead and granted them permission, warning them to take care of things down there. After all, I don’t know of any Third Life.

Should I ask for an autograph now while it’s still for free? Or am I being too presumptuous?

Congrats!

This is awesome! FYI we were also talking about the site at a High Road meeting today. Looks like you’re famous!

The Australian Trade Commission and High Road are great and all, but how about the ‘cover’ news story on Yahoo! News running a story about Darren’s getafirstlife ™ from the New York AP wire? Nice job sir.
