A Night at the Virtual Theater
We had ourselves a time last night, we did. It started rough. I get to the theater an hour before curtain, Sam is there, we’re rezzing our avatars and costumes into the sim, I’m checking the set. Then I try to use my microphone. Nothin. I didn’t panic, at first. I hear Sam fine, he […]
