Trying to go clubbing in Second Life

Trying to go clubbing to Second Life

Last night my goal was to go clubbing in Second Life, to see what kind of clubs are out there and how they look like and also to see how many residence actually go there.
As I only managed to get into one club so far I was curious of how the other ones would be like. As I have mentioned before the ones I found in the Guide Book of Second Life were unreachable for me. I just guess that is because the faults of the programme, as I don’t really know why else I would not be able to locate them or teleport to the ones I did manage to find.
So again I went back to Help Island and asked a few of the residence around at the time. They all suggested different clubs, and I asked them if you had to pay for them.
Some of them you do have to pay but none of them could actually tell me how much. I didn’t want to question them further as they might have suspected me of being from the press or a researcher. As I still don’t have enough money to do anything really on SL I decided I will try the ones which I was told were free to go to.
Another thing which I found quiet odd last night was that everyone on the Help Island Public I was on, was grey and you couldn’t see their clothes etc. Most of the residence were just grey and no one knew why that was, which caused some confusion among them. But all in all everyone took it with good humour and there were a lot of jokes made about it which was amusing.
I also got invited to a group. The Racers Club. I have no idea what they are about, or who is in it, but I accepted anyway, as it made me feel I belonged to SL a little bit more and I didn’t feel as lost. The group also invited me to an event they were holding later in the night, which I wasn’t sure I was able to go to as I am using the internet at a friends place at the moment, but I was happy just to check the island out where the event was suppose to be staged and where I guessed the group would have their ‘headquarters’.
I tried to teleport myself to that island but as with so many places before I couldn’t teleport to that particular island.
I find it quiet weird and confusing that I am able to teleport to some places but not to others, which limits me on where I can go. There is only a few places I am able to teleport myself to, which I find a little sad, as I want to experience as much as I can, but I am held back by the technical problems.
Well nothing I can do about it really, so I just decided to get on with my mission to find night clubs and see what is available.
I was told that the Butterfly Club was really good and was playing good music.
I tried a few of the others mentioned to me but I couldn’t find any of them. Same again with the Butterfly Club, it just doesn’t exist in my Search Box. Which really annoyed me and I asked one of the residence why that could be, that I was not able to find it. She only said that she didn’t know and that it did show up on hers, and that she found it weird I was not able to find it.
I asked her about other clubs or events that could be fun seeing but by the time I had typed it and entered my question to the conversation, she had already teleported herself to another place. Which to be quiet honest I found really rude, and this wasn’t the first time this had happened to me either.
Well I guess that is something I have to live with.
So I did the only thing I knew worked and went back to Apflelland Nachtleben where I knew I could go and that there was a club, where I had access to.
When I got there, there were quiet a lot of residence there, more than I had ever seen in one place before. Still not many, about 30 to 40, and that is just a guess as I didn’t really bother counting them all up. Which would be hard anyway as people kept moving around and the lights were flashing a lot, like in a real night club.
Everyone there seemed to have a good time and made their Avatars dance. But I couldn’t hear any music. I did download all the applications needed to be able to hear music and watch movies on SL but for some reason I couldn’t hear any. I knew by the way everyone was talking that they could hear the music, and again I felt a little left out.
I kept wandering around, found the room again with the podiums where you can earn money and clicked on one of them, and started dancing. Before my cycle was complete my programme froze again, and I thought to myself that I had enough of SL for that day and logged off. Lets see what today brings and if I am able to actually make it to another club or event.
