Quicklies Abound!

I left a comment on a blog entry I saw on the SL Planet feed.

sered second life: Too late to this party

The blog entry:
"Too late to this party
Apparently U2 performed in Second Life once, somewhere in early 2006. I missed this completely at the time, probably because I wasn't actively participating in SL yet.
[...]"

My comment (which posted while this quicklies was in-the-making):
"Incorrect. U2 has never performed in SL. At the beginning of the video you link to there is a disclaimer that states "U2inSL is a role playing group which exists in support of the One campain[...] no money is being made. The group is not affiliated with the real U2."

The poorly chosen name has caused many ppl to assume U2 is actually IN SL. Wrong.

It's a bunch of U2 fans who made avatars and animations to look like U2, DJed a set of the real U2's music (as far as I can tell) and I guess donated tips to the charity campaign."

The AvaStar interviewed me and posted it a while back. I didn't know about it because their PDFs are apparently not searchable or something. Anyway - I'm on the page labelled 26 that appears on PDF page 14.
