Note taking in SL

Below is a sample of some research notes I took while in Second Life.

FN - More have finally showed up, though not many. They are situated at the bar, some seated, some dancing near by. Quoting one patron “*holds up lighter*. I moved closer in, to the bar now. Engaging in small talk now with some around me. The bartender offered a trade of my hate for a drink. The DJ is talking with everyone, everyone, ‘workers’ included are talking. Conversations consist of dancing, clothing…comments on one guy “looking younger” tonight. Clothing consists of 80’s hair rock to modern day urban club outfit to leather vest, much of the clothing is all a bit bright and very much as one would expect as party clothing. Almost everyone is dancing or standing by the dance floor.

ON – People (Members)
more people showed up, but it was a very slow increase in the number of people, more people would come and go as the night went on, about 10 people dancing was the average.

MN – People (Members)
It would be a good idea to try and “mingle” with as many people as possible, maybe get an idea of what they talk about more privately?

ON – Conversation
The conversation started off as typical bar conversation and small talk and eventually would get a bit more personal.

ON – Clothing
The clothing consisted a lot of the things you would see in 80’s rock (hair) bands. Bright colors, animal skins, tight pants, long blonde hair, excessive make up.

TN – Clothing + conversation
The clothing seemed to date people as references were made to being a teenager or growing pu in the 80’s, placing a few of the members if not most in the 30’s-40’s range.

ON – Activity
Everyone was dancing excluding me, the DJ, club owners/managers and bartender

MN – Activity
Would be a good idea to blend in more and dance with everyone, this would cause me to stick out less as I did draw some odd attention just sitting at the bar.
