YouTube(TM), the leading online video community for people to discover, watch, and share originally created videos, has added to the talent lineup of YouTube Live, the company's first official live community celebration. The in-person audience of thousands will experience some of the site's renowned musicians, bedroom vloggers, side-splitting comedians and world-class athletes at Herbst Pavillion in Fort Mason on November 22. The event will also be streamed live on YouTube at the same time, enabling millions from around the globe to partake in the festivities. To sign up for a chance to get tickets or to tune in on the day of the event, visit http://youtube.com/live .
YouTube Live will honor the most groundbreaking, creative, and buzzworthy videos and individuals from the site's early days through today. Previously announced participants include internet born stars Soulja Boy Tell 'Em and Esmee Denters, Grammy Award winners' Will.I.Am and Akon, and Discovery Channels' MythBuster stars Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman. New acts scheduled to join this lineup include known performers such as:
-- Katy Perry -- Music's top rising star, Katy's song "I Kissed a Girl" reached #1 in the US as well as in 20 countries across the globe. A hit in its own right, the song became a YouTube sensation by spawning hundreds of parody videos created by users around the world. Her popularity shows no signs of slowing, as the song she'll be performing, "Hot N Cold," quickly climbed into the top 5 on Billboard.
-- Fred -- Since bursting onto the scene less than a year ago, the hyperkinetic Fred Figglehorn, with anger management issues and all, has racked up viewers and subscribers in record fashion. In his first six months the hilarious videos skewering childhood's biggest fears have amassed more than 135 million video views and 625,000 subscribers, making Fred the all-time number one most subscribed channel in YouTube history.
-- Jon M. Chu and The League of Extraordinary Dancers -- No YouTube event would be complete without a dance-off, and "Step Up 2 The Streets" director Jon M. Chu has been front and center for some of YouTube's most celebrated dance videos, including the biggest online dance battle in YouTube history between the Miley Cyrus/ Mandy Jiroux Cru and his ACDC. He's bringing his unique choreographic style to the event by introducing his most ambitious project yet: The League of Extraordinary Dancers.
-- Joe Satriani -- YouTube is a haven for aspiring guitar aficionados hoping to glean techniques from the masters. Few can rival Satriani's skill, but millions continue to try as videos of the guitar legend rank among the site's most popular and most commented.
-- Bo Burnham -- One of YouTube's most talented young performers, Bo's original songs are as funny as they are catchy. In addition to more than 20 million views, the 18-year-old comedian has released a best-selling EP, taped an upcoming HBO comedy special, and signed a deal to write a feature-length movie musical for producer Judd Apatow.
-- MC Hammer -- A pioneer in combining dance and hip-hop, three-time Grammy Award winner MC Hammer remains a powerful influence in music, as evidenced by the hundreds of YouTube videos in which users attempt to emulate his unique dance skills.
-- The Spinto Band -- Independent music is alive and well on YouTube, as evidenced by the ongoing success of this Wilmington, Delaware rock act. Their wistful harmonies and creative videos have generated some great response, with fans uploading their own versions alongside the band's official entries.
-- Katers 17 -- Among the most popular UK YouTube personalities and recently signed to a contract for Starburst, Katers 17 represents the truly global nature of YouTube, bringing her Anglo style and unique Britishisms to her homespun videos.YouTube(TM), the leading online video community for people to discover, watch, and... more

Bank of America is funding coal companies that use mountain top removal. “Mountaintop removal/valley fill is a mining practice where the tops of mountains are removed, exposing the seams of coal. Mountaintop removal can involve removing 500 feet or more of the summit to get at buried seams of coal. The earth from the mountaintop is then dumped in the neighboring valleys.”
Greenpeace and other local organizations like Rain forest Action and Texas Campaign for the environment are getting together to march against the bank.
We are also asking Bank of America account holders to close their accounts on that day. This will be a cross country thing and show that their customers don't support companies that practice mountain top removal. Please let us know when you show up if you want to close your account.

The first major museum exhibition by Albanian artist Anri Sala features seven films from the late 1990s to the present including a new film, Answer Me, along with photographs and sculptures that explore a dialogue about the interplay of the works with space and time. Co-organized by the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC), Cincinnati and Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, Sala's work is presented as one exhibition with two parts designed to resonate with each museum's respective space.
The Possibility of an Island, on view in the Museum of Contemporary Art's annex space, MOCA at Goldman Warehouse, takes French author Michel Houellebecq's 2005 novel of the same name as its starting point and poses existential questions in the face of an elusive future. Both exhibition and novel address fundamental anxieties about issues such as aging, death, irrelevancy, culture, destruction and sexuality in the present and the future. Featuring a group of international artists working in a variety of media, the exhibition explores the poetic and philosophical sides of science fiction literature. These artists approach science fiction as a genre that provides diversion from the banality of everyday life, making current dreams and anxieties more spectacular.The first major museum exhibition by Albanian artist Anri Sala features seven films... more

On May 3rd 2008, artists Robin Hewlett and Ben Kinsley invited the Google Inc. Street View team, the Mattress Factory and residents of Pittsburgh’s North Side to collaborate on a series of tableaux along Sampsonia Way. Neighbors, and other participants from around the city, staged scenes ranging from a parade and a marathon, to a garage band practice, a seventeenth century sword fight, a heroic rescue and much more. This first-ever artistic intervention in Google Street View made its debut on the web on November 4, 2008.
Google Street View technicians captured 360-degree photographs of the street with the scenes in action and integrated the images into the Street View mapping platform. Participants around the world can now navigate the artwork, titled Street With A View, on the project's official website (http://www.streetwithaview.com) or by typing "Mattress Factory + Pittsburgh" into Google Maps.
