Editor’s Note: Details are still getting worked out regarding Jude’s use of the Google Glass. Due to technical limitations, it may will not be possible to livestream the simul, though we will try. Further details will be announced here closer to the event. We’re using the Google Glass as part of a collaboration between B2L2 and #ProjectGlass with George “Loki” Williams at Humid City.

Update: We would like to emphasize a comment George “Loki” Williams has added:

Jude’s enthusiasm is a wonderful thing, but he is a bit mistaken about the technology. At present Glass cannot live broadcast since it is not yet capable of using Hangouts On Air. What we will do is record parts of the event from his unique perspective which will them be shared on YouTube and in the documentary that B2L2 is working on.

I cannot wait to collaborate with him on this event as it was Jude who taught me my first Chess moves in a NOLA coffeeshop back in the late 70s / early 80s.
