Join us tomorrow to kick off Copper Robot!

Our first program of the new Second Life interview show Copper Robot kicks off tomorrow (Sunday) at 11 am SLT, with well-known SL artist Eshi Otawara. Eshi, along with a couple of friends to help her tell her story, will talk about her RL problems with US immigration, as she was nearly deported from America because of an obscure clause in the law called the “widow’s penalty.” Also: A Few Minutes Of Crap, with Crap Mariner.

Eshi is a fashion designer and artist in SL. In real life, she’s an American immigrant from Eastern Europe who had to fight to stay in this country after her husband died abruptly, less than two years after they were married. We’ll talk to Eshi about her story, and what she’s been doing since she finally got her green card. If you want to read up on Eshi beforehand, read the New World Notes article on Eshi getting her green card, and my earlier article in InformationWeek about her predicament.

Can’t make it to the show? No problem, we’ll make it available as a podcast right here.
