Over the past week or so I’ve logged into SecondLife a few times, hoping to catch C.C. Chapman online and wondering who else I used to know in-game might still be playing. I haven’t run into anyone, aside from die-hard Eric Rice. But it was really cool to run into “Spin” because he’s encouraging me to get Lovespirals to play a show this year, which is the main reason I signed up for SL in the first place. So, I’ve started in earnest to try and get both of our avatars ready for prime time, which is no small feat! I don’t want to spend a ton of Lindens on skins, clothes, and accessories, yet I don’t want to come off as a complete noob, either. So I’m just doing the best I can with the basic tools the game provides, the hundreds of freebies readily available, and a few affordable purchases, like decent hair. The goal is to look enough like ourselves that folks watching us play will recognize our avatars. I feel like I’m getting close.
