Join us on Sunday, April 5, at 6 PM SLT/Pacific (9 PM ET) on World2Worlds in Second Life for an evening of Copper Robot with actress Felicia Day (Codex) and castmates Sandeep Parikh (Zaboo) and Jeff Lewis (Vork) from the award-winning internet comedy series The Guild. Now in its second season, The Guild chronicles the quarter-life and times of a group of people drawn together by common love of loot, slaughter, epic flying mounts and world-drops. It's both a hysterically-accurate portrayal of the dynamics of game-mediated nerd/slacker life, and a running meditation on character -- its cleverness and humor drawn, on the one hand, from meticulous and informed scripting, and on the other from the individual talents and collective chemistry of its cast -- all highly-trained and gifted practitioners of improv, among other dramatic arts. Best-known for her recurring role as Vi in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Felicia Day is star, primary scriptwriter and producer of The Guild, and won this year's first annual Streamy award for Best Actress in a Comedy for her portrayal of Codex. She is a high-honors graduate of the University of Texas, Austin, with combined majors in mathematics and violin performance, and was her department's salutatorian. In addition, therefore, to being smarter, more talented, and prettier than you, she may be one of a very small number of individuals with a finite Erdős-Bacon Number -- a notional quantity, formally expressing the degree of an individual's relatedness, on the one hand, to the mathematician Paul Erdős, and on the other to actor Kevin Bacon. Others with finite EB include Danica McKellar (star of The Wonder Years and co-author of the Chayes-McKellar-Winn theorem) and Minnie Driver, who appeared in Good Will Hunting with mathematician Daniel Kleitman (who co-authored a paper with Erdős), and later starred in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon.
