This Saturday, YouTube will be hosting its first ever live streaming event. The broadcast will feature a music and variety show being held at Fort Mason Center's Herbst Pavilion in San Francisco.
The event begins at 8pm EST and will feature Soulja Boy Tellam, Will.i.am, Tay Zonday of Chocolate Rain fame and a bunch of "talent" from the YouTube community.
Thankfully, Ask a Ninja will be there. He's one of my favorite YouTube sensations of all time.
Most importantly, there will be dance. But will it top Justin Timberlake as Beyonce's backup dancer on that other live variety show that airs on Saturdays last weekend? Me thinks not. (Dangit. NBC has still NOT posted that skit on Hulu.com. Really, NBC?)
