My REAL LIFE friend plays Second Life.  (Hereafter known as SL) In SL he is known as Drakken Calhoun and he owns the 40′s Jazz Club, Afterhours at the Fitzgerald.  I keep missing him when I have gone in the game.  Last time he was there, sitting in the lounge of the club but “away” so he didn’t hear me yelling at him.  Heheheheh Here are some pics of his club.

You can visit his club here: Afterhours at the Fitzgerald

This is an outside view of the entrance to the club.  I can’t go in-world while at work any more.   I suppose I could, I can login using my netbook, but it is not a computer for playing SL, the game is graphic intensive and my little netbook is not, so I just kinda move at a snail’s pace if using the netbook.  So I don’t login often using the netbook.  I have been a member of SL for 6 years I think, something like that.  I use to play ALL NIGHT at work on my other laptop, then come home and play all day too.   After a while, some bad experiences there and just playing too often, I stopped playing altogether for about two years.  I got sick of it! Only recently have I gone back in, but not frequently.

Here is a picture of the inside of his club:

He also has a coffee shop, but I forgot to take a picture of it!

In the same visit to SL I also visited London. The SoHo area. There was an event taking place and for the life of me I can not remember what in the heck it was. I remember it is a month long event. Here is a picture of part of the SoHo area:

And one a bit closer to the square:

Complete with a double decker bus!

It almost ran me over!  I didn’t care, I was in London.
