Man, my avatar is exhausted, I'm gonna hit the beach and get my drink on. Virtually, of course.
Here's some good stuff we hope to bring you this week (in no particular order):
Don't Stand So Close To Me — Turns out that even in virtual worlds, the same social rules for physical contact exist. New York video producer Win Rosenfeld is going to take us on a journey into Second Life and explain why virtual frottage is as gauche and disturbing as it is in the real world.
If You Build It, They Will Come...and Pay $9.50 for a Miller Lite — The music festival season kicks off next week with the Coachella Festival in Indio, Calif. We're going to talk with Austin-based DJ Andy Langer about how music fests are changing the way people see live music.
Raise Your Hands In The Air! Praise Jesus Like You Really Care! — A chat with NPR Producer Amy Walters about the next big thing in Christian evangelism: Church in nightclubs. We'll talk with Amy about her journey to the The Mayan in downtown Los Angeles, where they have church services on Sunday. (No cover charge.)
