Mixed reality partying at NetSquared

Posted on May 27, 2008 by

Partying with NPC people at Wharf Ratz

This is what a super-dork I am.  I’m at this conference with 300 non-profit and tech industry folks.  There was a a live DJ and sax player, doing super cool Star Wars medleys.  But eventually the Second Lifers and I got bored and decided to go in-world and party with our digital friends. 

This pic is from the regular Tuesday night dance party at Wharf Ratz on the Aloft Nonprofit Commons sim (teleport SLURL.)  You will notice in the picture at least seven people who were both in-world and in the same hotel in San Jose: Hamlet Au, Penguin Kuhn, Creech Antwerp, Coughran Mayo, Jani Myriam, Glitteractica Cookie and me.  We are the biggest nerds ever.

    At least a half-dozen of the attendees came over to where I was “double-dipping” (the new term I just invented (?) for being in the same room with others in RL and in SL), to find out what it was all about. In the end, I conclude we were actually the coolest of all the nerds in the building.
    The regular Tuesday night party at Wharf Ratz, already legendary, has surpassed itself. Thanks for the note, Rik!
