So a man walks into a bar, he drinks a couple of pints and then along comes the singer, her name isn’t Pearl and she’s not standing up to play the piano, although her job is entertaining folks. Now there’s something familiar about this singer, but he can’t quite figure out what until he hits a Kevin Bacon moment and he realises this singer is Lady Sakai’s mate!
Now fortunately it’s way too early in the night for alcohol to be giving the impression that a Second Life avatar is on stage. However there is concern that a paradox may be caused in the lines of time, space and virtuality that could cause one world or another to implode.
He glances to the stage where the computer running the backing tracks has broken, uh oh, is it all going to go tits up here in the bar and I’m not even drunk yet!
However the singer performs some sort of rolling restart on the computer, the music comes back and the singer goes on to perform three sets during the evening, which being as it’s December includes Slade’s Merry Christmas Everybody as well as songs aimed at the audience, who are in the main a fair bit older than me, so we have a rendition of The Dave Clark Five’s Glad All Over.
Several pints later I embark on the treacherous journey home in ice cold conditions, however a second check was required this morning as I logged on to Second Life to ensure my sims were all still there! Time, space and virtuality do all indeed seem to be still operating normally, which is a relief.
