Took another trip into Second Life… missing VW Conference already

After having committed huge amounts of time to Second Life before this summer, I have pretty much taken the summer off. I jumped in for a while today, and re-enjoyed it. Did some searching around, visited new places, visited old places… Had a short chat with Eric Rice which I haven’t done in a while. He invited me to a party he is hosting in San Jose coming up during the Virtual Worlds Conference. He really bummed me out because I had been trying not to think of the conference and surrounding activities because, well, it bums me out. I REALLY enjoyed the first conference in New York City early this year, and met a lot of great people. My good friend Jean-Ann Mills will be speaking at this conference, and I’m insanely jealous. :-)

I’m reminded of when I wanted to meet Corey Bridges of multiverse.net in NYC at the VW Conference. The conference was over, and everyone was saying their last good byes, so I figured, “Well, now or never.” Corey was finishing a conversation, I walked up to him and said something like, “Hi, I’m Jeremy Vaught with the Electric Sheep Company.” (which I was at the time, for a few more days anyway) And he said, “Hi, I’m Corey Bridges.” To which I replied, “I know. I know who you are, and now you know who I am.” And Jerry Paffendorf (also of the Sheep at the time) who was nearby said, “That’s the way we role at the Sheep.” It was a pretty funny/awkward moment. But I smile a big toothy grin each time I think about it. If you know me personally, you know this is not the way ‘I’ usually role.

That’s all I have, if you read this entire post, thank you. Come back again :D
