rocking in the real world
almost a year. I hate to use that word, because playing shows in Second
Life is pretty darn real. In any case, it's the kind of performing that
involves moving amplifiers around, driving distances, and otherwsie
leaving the cozy confines of Superhero Studios.
It will be fun to play standing up and prowling a stage again. It will
also be fun to play at chest-thumping volumes. We have a good headphone
mix when we gig in SL, but it's not the same as a pair of 4x12 cabinets
pushing massive amounts of air. The actual setup looks pretty sweet,
nicer than probably 90% of any of the bars I have played at over the
years. My pal Rob has promised me nothing less than an awesome sound on
the stage, which will be great. I can count on both hands the number of
times, out of literally thousands of gigs, that we had a good monitor
mix (or even monitors!).
I'm very much looking forward to hearing Rob's band, and to jamming
together after everyone's set. It's been more than 10 years since we
have played together, should be tremendous drunken fun. Another
unexpected treat will be one of our best friends in Second Life making
the trip to catch the show. Crossing over, this will be a first for us,
very exciting. We've known a few RL friends and acquaintances that have
tested the SL waters, but not the other way around yet.
There will likely be audio and pics from the show. No promises if
they'll ever see the light of day, but if there's anything that doesn't
make me too scundered*, I'll post.

1. scundered - Irish term for being totally mortified in front of people.
2. scundered - In Belfast and environs this means 'embarassed' but in mid-ulster it means 'annoyed' or 'frustrated'.
3. scundered - Scundered is the slang term for embarassed. It is mainly used in northern Ireland.
I just can't see any of these definitions applying to Case. Not after the cheerleader gig and all of the other things he's done.
I'm excited for ya'll, you sound very pumped-up for it. Only questions is, will you use the same drummer that you do in-world?
Yes, same drummer, which will be a little nerve wracking :) Even though we've done tons of SL shows, it's the first time we're doing it like this in the Old World. Nothing ventured, nothign gained!
Well I for one am waiting for a blow by blow account of how it all went! Hope there was no whiffing! ;)
