Michael Ogden and Peter Dean
Help Plan the Biggest Party EVER, To Be Held In 02269!
Mike Ogden and Pete Dean, the intrepid founders of the audacious 2269.co project, amused, entertained, and challenged the Long Now Boston audience on Sunday, May 2, 02021, at 4:00 p.m. ET.
The day and time for this event were unusual – in part to accommodate the fact that the speakers were in London (9:00 p.m. GMT). While the idea of a global celebration of progress on June 6 02269 may seem frivolous or outlandish, it does make you think. What will the world be like in the year 02269? How will our descendants take pleasure in their daily lives? Will they celebrate the advances of the prior 250 years? What will they think of us, their ancestors?
