Second Life is just like real life, but with more pixels and slower frame rates. In that regard, the same kinds of mistakes happen in SL that can happen anywhere, and most mistakes begin with errors in communication. That's why despite the fact that I was booked to perform again at the Whisky a Go Go in SL, I ended up instead doing a show for a small group of friends at my and Kat's home venue, Coyote.
Hey, these things happen. It's pretty simple; the venue owner was occupied elsewhere, and the person he'd tasked with running the show didn't get the word that I was supposed to be performing there. Since he's apparently not psychic, no one was there when I and my fans (and others; it was listed correctly in the SL live music events) all showed up at about 6PM.
So, we hung out for another 15 minutes or so hoping someone would show up. When no one did, someone suggested that instead of canceling the entire show, we could go somewhere else and do it. Of course, Kat and I have our woefully underused Club at Coyote, so we quickly passed around some landmarks and headed to our home sim. Once there, I hopped up onstage and did some songs for our friends who accompanied us.
