First Belgian Real Life Second Life Party - Picture Report

October 17, 2007 12:24 pm

Second Life meeting at Hamme, BelgiumRandom memories from the Second Life party at Hamme, organised by Sammy Bourne:

  1. I did not win a tshirt. Why not? I guessed wrong at Philip Rosedale’s age. Apparently he’s born in 1969, not 1975. Like I can help it he’s old?! ;)
  2. No gadget freaks to be seen. At all. I thought we were supposed to be all tech savvy and addicted?
  3. No wifi present. (That’s why I did not win a tshirt. :D)
  4. Spanking pats are easily created and good thing to get a party going.
  5. RL pole dancing is harder than SL pole dancing. Especially if the dancing animations were left behind at home and the dancing poles have a diameter of at least 30 centimetres.
  6. Declared the area ‘mature’. Dalien added ‘voice enabled’ and ‘no push’.
  7. We are NOT bad looking boring nerds. Most of us are good looking, witty and interesting.
  8. Sammy Bourne has big plans for (Belgian) Second Life. Neat plans too.
  9. Ganymedes is fun! (also in RL) (also a bit non-sober)
  10. Ganymedes Costagravas and Vint Falken are up to now unbeaten at the soccer table, and thus reigning King and Queen of Belgian Second Life Table Soccer.
  11. I’m getting old and/or Vint’s human after illness combined with some alcohol tires fast.
  12. My laptop has now ‘SL’ as country code. Thanks for the sticker!
  13. I’m sure I looked like a very happy/content cat at times. I wonder if I *purrred* loud enough to sound out above the music. =D
  14. Holding a camera is a great way to escape from having to participate at the polonaise. =d (But actually, I knew that already.)

Thanks Wrath. Almost? Just admit it, you too want to be good looking, eating _decent_ french fries, speaking Flemish & French and enjoy the wide range of delicious Belgian beers we have. IM me for a match of soccer once you’re in Belgium and officially belgian? ;)

Gin & Wrath: It was fun, and sharing this moment was all my pleasure.

Garrett: LMAO. Yes, indeed. I was behind the camera. =) (Which reminds me, the Beauty and the Nerd also runs on Belgian television, a Belgium made re-make. But they had to also fetch Dutch nerds, else we did not have enouhg… :/ ;))
