The first “Internet Cocktail Schmoozefest Buffet Event” was in 1996. Hotmail registered their first customers free web based email. (I got Steve@Hotmail.com but later traded it (for an animated GIF) to Steve Douty, Hotmail’s VP Marketing.)
D’Cuckoo played their geek chic instruments, including the MIDI Ball – a giant, wireless, helium-filled sphere, let loose to volley about over the crowd. Each touch triggers new sounds and visuals while the band lays down the bass line.
In 2001, we had a space odyssey in the NASA Ames Hangar.
