Club Heaven

59 W 12th Street . 9:35 pm . September 11, 2007 .

Last night I went to a Second Life nightclub called Heaven. The scene was very 80s -disco balls, jukeboxes galore- and Ainat learned how to break dance. Everyone was very friendly and cordial to everyone else and the music was great. It was interesting to observe how Ainat went through the same basic process of familiarization that anyone else would when entering a new club by themselves in Real Life. She observed, walked around, figured things out, was approached by someone, started talking, dancing... and dancing some more!

A little while later I was greeted by the club owner. He gave me an Animation so that I could repeat his moves on the dance floor. The space was huge and people were just dancing the night away. Time went by fast (I must have stayed for half an hour or so) and I had a blast. Ainat was grooving like a pro.

I hadn't had this much fun in a real club in a very long time and just the though of me acknowledging that is very scary. I want to refrain from using the word liberating but can't... Second Life is very liberating in many different levels.

Before leaving I was invited to join my first Second Life group and became an official Club Heaven VIP. I landmarked it and am now constantly receiving invitations to parties, events, etc. via email.

This last one was interesting...
