Hoo, what a day. I had my first SL concert today. My friend Cat invited me to see Kyle Beltran with friends, Marion, Therese, Suzanne and herself. I had been looking forward to meeting these ladies but had thus far never had the opportunity until now.
The show was lovely. Kyle is very funny and the experience of watching a performer in SL is much different than in RL in that, he is much more on the level of the audience, as opposed to elevated and isolated. The strange part to me is that the audience feedback part is very quiet. i did not hear a lot of clapping and hooting between songs but that is just the mechanism of SL, I suppose.
Earlier in the day, I had been revisiting the NMC Arts Sim with my friend Peter. We decided to drive off the edge of the welcome area platform and land in the desert below. Unfortunately, I also had my second car accident in two days in the same place.
I won't be driving this desert again anytime soon, although it can be productive in meeting new people providing they are as forgiving as the two in either of these cases.
As it happened, today my victim was Jasono Novi who is a brilliant photographer who had snapped me at Dreamland North a few weeks ago. He was in the middle of a photoshoot but appreciated the randomness of being blindsided by a Porsche convertible speeding out of nowhere.
