Today at 5pm eastern (2pm SL time) I was hoping to attend my first poetry reading in Second Life at the Wrong Way Cafe, but no one else showed up. Seems like something that happens to poetry lovers a lot. I'm not sure why it didn't happen and I can't find any information about it, but I did pick up a free pack of British Cigs, so it wasn't all a waste.
I feel like there is a great lack of information in SL. Things are tough to find for newbies. One article Tricia sent said that for people who weren't hardcore programmers and "computer people" SL seems boring and tedious and I get that feeling.
But, there is a lot out there. I feel that it's difficulty is a great parallel to the real world; things are tough to find, but if you're passionate about it you can find anything you want. SL is not built for instant gratification: you actually have to build satisfaction yourself.
I found a blog that shows what one user does every time she gets online and I think it will be a great help: http://secondtourist.blogspot.com/. I'll keep checking this out and will find some creative things going on in SL.
