Steve Wiebe Attempts Donkey Kong World Record in Las Vegas
Walter Day to referee High-Score Attempt at Microsoft's MIX08 event in Las Vegas
March 4, 2008 -- Las Vegas, NV -- Noted Donkey Kong competitor, Steve Wiebe, of Redmond, Washington, rolls up his sleeves at The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas on the night of March 5th and tries to make history by taking back the highly-coveted Donkey Kong Crown.
Right now, Steve and the equally-as-famous Billy Mitchell, are running neck-and-neck on the high-score circuit, with Billy currently in the lead with 1,050,200 points to Steve's 1,049,100 points. With only 1,100 points separating them, Steve poses a serious threat to take back the world title.
And, in the referee's outfit, performing Master of Ceremonies duties, is Walter Day, Twin Galaxies' Chief Evangelist, who will monitor Steve's record-breaking attempt while ensuring that the strictest Twin Galaxies Tournament Settings are enforced.
The event takes place during Microsoft's TAO NIGHTCLUB PARTY from 6:00pm to10:00pm in The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino. Hosted by Microsoft, the high-score challenge is one of the cultural highlights of this year's MIX08 gathering, an annual techological smorgasbord titled MIX08: THE NEXT WEB NOW.
