I wrote a quick summary of yesterday’s party and chronicled many press hits the event got on the Internet. I’m still not finding many photos which I know were being taken. If you took photos or wrote about yesterday, please do comment on this post or email me.

I also wrote about the Laoban Soundsystem 1.0 July 1st Green Day IDEA2009 on my wiki previously if you’d like to chip in some links or comments. I really want to use the speakers, granted they aren’t the big Laoban 2.0 stack, for more events in Beijing! Also, I really must learn more about this brilliant Ableton live software. I’ve avoided it because its not free software, but now I think I’ve got it running in Wine. And, regardless, I must learn about this software if myself or anyone else wants to make something similar for live audio/video performances in the same caliber, but as Free Software (and better!).

If you want a great analysis and take on the Chinese Green Dam Saga, please read Andrew Lih’s post and the other great ones by Rebecca MacKinnon.

Just in time, Matt got some pretty new aluminum fronts cut in time for the big event today.

Now that the Green Dam Youth Escort has been delayed, we have a full on celebraton on our hands in CaoChangDi from now until midnight, on Wed, July 1, 2009.

Spread the word! The Party Day is on tomorrow like no other in CaoChangDi! Get your boycott on.

We will bring our Laoban 1.0 Soundsystem with its new shiny grillz tomorrow. To all DJs and musicians out there (especially good ones!), this is an open call to come on out and plug-in to the speakers. We need you to come out and make some sound, art, and have a big ole green day brainstorm. The whole day is free and open! The entire day is to boycott the Chinese Internet.

To all our Internets Massive! To all Twitteronians, Identicators, Free and Open Source, Creative Commons’d out people in Beijing, or those who just want to have fun, please come out tomorrow for the full day or even just part of it. Matt Hope, Jon Phillips (rejon), Robin, Phil Dunn and so many more will most definitely be on hand to mix, make some projects in realtime and collectively boycott the Internet.
