In addition to the Brooklyn Is Watching talk and meetup on the 16th ( http://www.meetup.com/metaversemeetup/calendar/11056667 ), Peter Brauer invites everyone out on the 8th (tomorrow/Saturday!) to see his Second Skin documentary. I saw it at SXSW and recommend it and recommend it as an interesting balance of the light and dark sides of MMO games. You'll see Metaverse Meetup veterans Nexeus Fatale (waddup Leo! :)) and Mark Wallace make appearances in it.
Thanks for this, Peter!
Second Skin, the first feature documentary about MMO gamers, is screening for three days in NYC August 7th-9th at the Tank Theater. I would love it if we could do a meetup event to bring out people interested in the metaverse. On top of that, it will be fun. Joe Leydon at Variety said "the human dramas of individual gamers are what really make this technically polished docu so fascinating and potentially commercial." And Darcie Stevens at the Austin Chronical had this to say, "Mixing expert opinion with amazingly true testimonials, Second Skin might just be the most accurate and entertaining glimpse of the economy and psychology of technology since Tron."

This Meetup was suggested by Peter Brauer.
