New Year’s Eve party in Second Life

As many of you know, I actually starting my DJ’ing career inside the virtual online world known as Second Life. While I’ve branched well out of that at this point, there’s a tradition I started a couple of years ago that I’ll be continuing this year.

Back in 2006, I did my first DJ Wesley’s New Year’s Eve Bash, where I had the crazy idea of leveraging Second Life’s international reach and audience to ring-in the new year live across Europe, and across the Americas. I did it again in 2007, and almost unbelievably, it’s time to do it again in 2008 to ring-in 2009.

This year’s event is a little different; I’ll be doing it at The Pavilion Nightclub, a virtual club sponsored by the very real life CAPP Records. But what hasn’t change is that I’ll be counting down to 2009 in Central Europe, and again in the GMT time zone. I’ll get a couple of hours’ break, and then will crank-up the party once again at 11:00 PM in the Atlantic time zone (that’s one zone farther east than Eastern time). I’ll countdown the new year in each time zone all the way to Pacific.

While it’s a very (very!) long party for me, I really enjoy doing it. This year, we’ll be simulcasting the entire party—all of it—on iDanceRadio.fm. That way, people outside of Second Life can join in the fun too (even if some of the Second Life-specific stuff may sound a little strange to them!).

If you have no idea what Second Life is all about, you might want to check it out and join us on New Year’s Eve. All the details are on their web site at secondlife.com. You can get an account absolutely free, and see what all the buzz is about.

Once you’re joined, or if you already have a Second Life membership, just come to the club on New Year’s Eve night, in any (or all!) of the time zones I mentioned above, and join the fun. You can port right to the club with your Second Life viewer software by clicking this link:  http://tinyurl.com/pavilioninsl

Even if you don’t have a Second Life membership, or just plain don’t want one, you can still tune-in at iDanceRadio.fm and enjoy the music and general craziness that’s bound to ensue. 

I hope to “see” you there!
