Hi Bryan! Great meeting you in Second Life as well. I'd love to have a JPF chapter or other similar and active group in SL.

I don't think many people realize the opportunities that Second Life provides for musicians, songwriters and music fans. The Bluebird shows are a fantastic resource, but there are other things going on as well. For example, I performed for the first time in SL at an open mic event last night. I had a great time and the small crowd (10 people) seemed to enjoy my songs. I've got a fan club with members now and I've been invited to come back and play again. I'm also scheduled to do a show next Wednesday at a different venue where the crowd is usually much larger (30 or so) and have offers from other clubs to do gigs where I'll get paid anywhere from $4 for an hour up to $50 for an hour and a half show depending on the venue. That's what I'll make in real dollars for sitting at my computer, playing my guitar and singing my songs. There are literally thousands of clubs and venues in Second Life. The music community and audiences include people from all over the world, so my songs are getting a lot more exposure than if I just played local clubs in the real world. I think Second Life is great and look forward to how it evolves as it continues to grow.
