This first informal physical ‘Meet the avatars’  in Amsterdam yesterday was a great succes! Without much serious  publicity, The ‘Salon’ auditorium of De Balie was filled with people from al kinds of fields connected to metaverses and other media.

There was a live webcam from De Balie on the screens at the Teatro Masimo at the Nuova Sicilia sim in Second Life, where several avatars where virtually present. CallieDel Braie was one of them and took some snapshots.
