A great setup, and a promising look to what would have been a great event…
…Until the music started, and the event was more akin to a nightmare.
It is pretty amazing what Second Life offers. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that if you can do something in real life, you can most likely do it in Second Life. I’ve gone places where I can play full arcade games (Pac-man, for example), I’ve talked to people, gone to the beach, etc. It doesn’t just stop there. I can do things that I haven’t even been able to do in real life yet like drive expensive cars, go to Jersusalem, etc. And it doesn’t even stop there! I can do things in Second Life that I may never get the chance to do in real life… I lost my virtual virginity (teehee, I’m officially a playa woot woot). And if you thought it stopped there, it doesn’t! I can do things in Second Life that are practically impossible to do in real life (although with modern technology, maybe not). I got to pretend I was a woman in a lesbian area and after a very satisfying ”exchange” I took my female skin off and came out of the closet… if there is anything more satisfying in life, I have not yet seen it. I’ve done basically every (perverted) thing I could think of in Second Life, and can proudly say I had a blast doing it (no pun intended). Naturally, after seeing so much, I thought I saw everything there was to see in Second Life. However, one thing I didn’t really expect to see (or didn’t waste time looking for) on Second Life was a musical concert orchestrated like a real life event.
The event I participated in was called “BLS Concert” which started at 8:30 pacific time, and ”BLS” basically stands for a band named Black Label Society. I had never heard their music before, and after the event, I really wish I hadn’t, but it was still a unique experience nonetheless. The concert had a clever setup with lots of billboards, a floating globe, etc. and once the concert began, the billboards fell down and a few avatars danced around with guitars while BLS’s music was playing in the background. This was all taken place on the “Yankee Stadium”, and there were a large number of people who showed up waving some signature BLS flags. Everyone I saw was wearing black, and had spikes somewhere on their body…I mean, big surprise…
The first person I interacted with (actually, who interacted with me) was Annalisa Lopez who offered me one of the BLS flags before the event had begun (that was her job I think because I wasn’t the only one who was given this offer). I did ask her where she was from, but she was too busy passing flags, so I walked toward this one huge dude named Lostdia Ares. I said hi, and asked him where he was from. He said he’s from California and I asked him what he does, to which he replied “I’m a stoner.” Figures. The last interesting soul I encountered went by the name of Sally Vuckowic who had a very attractive avatar. I tried hitting on her, and it pretty much worked. I first told her that BLS’s music is awesome (this was before the concert began) and also complimented her tatoo that was promiscuously placed behind her back. She proceeded to make “giggling” gestures, and then my buddy Lostdia Ares came and cursed me out for hitting on his girlfriend. I made a “crying” gesture and they didn’t even feel bad for me! Then the music started, and while grinding my ears on my desk, I typed my final ”ownage” statement to that self-loathing female: ”You have as much taste in music as you do in boys.”
I had high hopes for this event. The setup was great, people were excited, and everyone was telling me how BLS rules before the concert began. However, I can say three things. NO. THEY. DON’T. Everyone I talked to who said the band rules, and everyone who even came to this event intentionally just to listen to them have lost my respect. I am now dumber for having listened to the band. But one good thing did come out of the event: it served as a good topic for this blog.
Hahahah, this is awesome.
I lost my virtual virginity to your mother last night.
I like that you are so honest in the blog. You talk about being a pervert and losing your virtual virginity with style and class. Good blog. Watch you spelling and grammar. 18
Information is organized with well-constructed paragraphs. 4
All topics are addressed and most questions answered with at least 2 sentences about each. 4

A few grammatical, spelling, or punctuation errors.2
Misspelled word Jersusalem versus Jerusalem, tatoo versus tattoo.
This needs to be a sentence not three separate words. NO. THEY. DON’T
All sources (information and graphics) are accurately documented in the desired format. 4
Your blog was very interesting. I would suggest that you look for a class that would teach you how to create objects in Second life because then you could create your own flags and the like.
I agree with matthew you should look for a class that would teach you how to create these objects in SL. I found you blog very intresting
I really liked your blog and no I did not lose my virtual virginity to your mother last night. The concert looked cool. I bet the music didn’t really fit your style so you didn’t like it. You probably should have taken a flag, then that girl might have talked to you.
really great entertaining story! and you seem to be more accustomed to SL than anyone’s blog i’ve read yet, so good for you. still having a little troble here and there, you know? i should’ve waited around for a concert.
