The Pop Art Lab Machinima contest is rolling! Thanks to all who already showed interest and done recordings. We hope to announce the 3rd person/judge coming week. Also please post whatever you like in comments at the [Machinima Contest] header or email, IM your questions.
To those who are new to PAL and to try recover our common memory each week here will feature a new blogpost with news and reports from this ongoing process about the relaunch, contest etc.
Back in September 2008 Pop Art Lab had its official opening. It seems like ages ago but we had like 500 visitors during the weekend. Linden Lab put us upfront in showcase section one hour before opening (back then music section had like 15 venues included today number is 81!). And ofcourse we also had a cool programme of live music and the now almost legendary “Murder on the Dancefloor” game provided by the über cool Mad Pea crew. Few days later I called in regular PAL goers and asked for help. Most are still frequently supporting PAL at events and I want to thank each tons. For those who want to dig further into our history visit old posts in archives here.
OK shifting gears now as we are currently filling up the programme for our “second” launch April 16. We have decided to schedule one part for the European timezone as well as one for the US.
We would like best artists and creativity to be included so feel free to drop us a line. By now 3-5 artists confirmed and will be aired during next week.
