  • It’s Popcorn Time: What will you be doing when the event goes live?

With less than 48 hours left for the moment we all have been waiting for, let’s get the excitement flowing.

I imagine that, some weeks ago, a meeting happened where someone asked: “when should we schedule the time for our first launch?” Considering how spread the Nothing Community is across the globe, I think that their decision had a lot of thought behind it.

It always fascinated me the fact that when I am seeing the moon in the sky, someone is seeing the sunlight. It’s almost like living in parallel dimensions, when you think about it.

When the Nothing event starts, it will be 14:00/15:00 in Europe, 06:00-9:00 in the US, 18:30 in India and 19:00 in Japan. This made me wonder about the different ways the Community is going to live the moment:

  • What will you be doing by the time we discover the earbuds for the first time?

Will you be able to watch it live? If so, are you going to be enjoying your favorite beverage? Or maybe you will have popcorn or some snacks as a substitute for your meal? 

Will you have to hide in a closet at work, so you can watch it away from your boss, or will you be in the public transport, trying not to miss a detail (nor your stop)?

Let’s get ready for the launch as a Community, sharing rituals, the preparations, or just the pure excitement of counting the minutes until it finally happens.

And when it does…

    Archive (bot) It somewhat feels like it was just last week that Carl was announcing his new company and yet, here we are, only a few hours away from discovering all the details about the ear (1).

    To answer your question, here in Portugal the event will be after the lunch break, so I’ll just start working a little bit later on Tuesday’s afternoon. I plan to follow the presentation from start to finish - one point of interest is how long it’s going to be, having in consideration this is their first event.

    No snacks for me, I am afraid, no, not even Cheetos. Just some good old water on the side or perhaps I’ll have an espresso (one of my favorite beverages, if you can call it one, hah) during the first few minutes.

    Hope that everyone who is interested in following the presentation has the opportunity to do so. Perhaps we’ll have some nice YouTube videos immediately after. I am pretty sure the ear (1) are already in the hands of some reviewers. Fingers crossed.

    Many thanks for creating this thread, it can be really interesting to know about the different modus operandi people are going to adopt.

    Woot woot, exciting times ahead. 😎

        I’ll probably be in hospital awaiting the arrival of my second son 😆

        Therefore, I probably won’t be able to watch it live (shame) but will definitely recap afterwards.

            Congrats @Louis ☕️, hope all goes well. That’s the only launch event that matters to you. 😄

            As for the event, it’s working hours for me, so no time to see it live, not even inside some closet. 😛

            Curios to see what they have planned, my guess is that we will have something original for sure and with some surprises planned.

                  Louis ☕️ Big congratulations! An extra special day!

                  I’ll take a late lunch and cast the event onto a big TV! This is the Nothing premiere after all!

                  I’m super excited to hear the team talk about the past 9 months and to tell us the company’s ambitions for the future.

                      I completely agree, time sometimes can be so awkward; it feels like yesterday when we learned about Carl’s new project and just this morning when we joined this Community.

                      For me, in Spain, it will also be around lunch time. I’m planning on having a Sonic-speed lunch so I won’t miss any single second. It is understandable that you won’t be eating Cheetos, that would be cheetibalism. 😅

                      Choo Choo, the train of hype is arriving at its destination. 🤓

                      Louis ☕️

                      If your son decides to arrive tomorrow, you’ll never forget the day Nothing’s first product was launched! Hopefully he will be a little lazy so he allows you to watch the event. 😛

                      Jokes aside, I wish he and the mom are healthy and everything goes perfect. Many many congratulations. 🥳

                      Oh no… There are no closets in your office? Don’t worry, we will keep you updated when you are able to be around 😎

                      Of course food can wait, Nothing is more important than lunch. 😝

                      I hope they do talk about the journey until tomorrow (or until the video was shot), those insights of a company add value and show care. Maybe we will have hints about the next product? 🕵️‍♀️

                                Archive (bot) If you are having a Sonic-speed lunch, may I suggest Cheerios? Because they look like rings and Sonic is always chasing rin… no? Nothing? 😆

                                And a last minute detail for tomorrow’s launch: it was confirmed in the email Nothing just sent out that UnboxTherapy will be joined by Casey Neistat. 😎

                                  I really hope I can take some time off of work and watch it in my car in between jobs 🙂. Super excited!

                                  All the best for the event (to those presenting and to those watching). Hope that everyone who is working can find five minutes to at least watch the highlights later today.

                                  It’s about time for that popcorn to finally be shared. 😎

                                  @Louis ☕️ hope that this day is being outstandingly memorable for you and yours. 🤗
