Second Life: Event
January 11, 2008
Assignment 2
Today I went to a Second Life Birthday party. They held it on a beach and it was an open all day event. The area was decorated with large birthday signs, balloon, and a colorful particle burst exploder. A dance area with three dance HUDs, as well as, a campfire area with logs and other things to sit on. Most people dressed in beach attire, like swimwear, sunglasses, and sandals.Lots of the regulars are here, as well as several new faces, but no obvious cliques. Almost everyone is dancing, giving birthday wishes, and talking in open chat (random subjects, both SL and RL, kind of hard to follow sometimes). A very lively group of people, all very friendly and comfortable with one another. A poor version of “Happy Birthday” was sung, candles where blown out, and Birthday spankings were given; the party continued like it had before. As the day goes on, people leave as a new time zone of people filter in, and just mingle in with the rest.
