Wiimbledon

Wiimbledon

In the year of our Lord 2007 AD, we created the world's first-ever Wii Tennis tournament in what was then the sleepy neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Designed to coincide with the actual tennis tourney, and unfolding over a weekend, Wiimbledon attracted hundreds of costumed players and the attentions of New York Magazine, Sports Illustrated, and ABC World News Tonight.
