boxee NYC meetup wrap-up
(photo taken by Whitney Hess)
seeing the “BOXEE NYC MEETUP” sign at Webster Hall got us all excited. gidon and yaron spent hours together with the guys from Webster Hall and Mogulus making sure we are all set for the event (unfortunately we had some audio issues. my laptop is to blame. i think).

by 6:30pm there was a line around the block.

Webster Hall set up a new Video Tunnel with 90 flat screens. we prepared a video of the boxee experience that ran on all the screens in a loop. people coming up the stairs to the grand ballroom were surrounded by boxee everywhere. DJ FuzzlyLogic from LiveKick entertained the crowd as they were waiting for the event to start.

the ballroom was packed. 600 people were in the audience. 5,000!! watched the event online via Mogulus.
big thank you to everyone who came and watched the broadcast. and special thanks to our partners (Tom Conrad from Pandora, Mike Hudack from blip.tv, Tim Shey and Jack Ferry from NextNewNetworks) who came out to support us and talk about their projects with the boxee community.

It was a good watch.
Thanks so much for the great meetup. Very cool to see the whole Boxee klan. Next time, though, you should get Gidon to stop hiding in the shadows!
I’ll bring a hula hoop to the next meetup.
Looked like alot of fun. Wish I was there, maybe if you guys hold one in Denver
Any way I can get a link to the music that was being played before the event started? Couldn’t find any DJ FuzzlyLogic on livekick.com
Thanks.
Awesome that you guys linked my cellphone picture of the hall from flickr.
You are a company that totally understands the internet, you’re going to get very far, no doubt.
Cheers from FrostClick.com
