Just received this announcement from Bill K. Looks like a very exciting and fun event, where you can not only listen to the concert in real time but also interact with the band, etc. I'm gonna try to log on if I can.

computer with Windows on it (Intel Macs work great if Windows

around, dance, cheer, chat and meet other Videoranch patrons. Bill
and the band will be able to see your Avatar and read your comments
LIVE, so be sure to let them know how much you are enjoying the

I guess I'm not fully in the 21st century yet, but I have no clue what this means:

Move around? Dance? Cheer? I can do all that stuff watching regular TV, without being "inside" anything. Is that all they mean, or are they assuming a webcam or something? 
I'm "virtually" clueless! |

| I think this is a 'virtual' world (like 'Second Life'?) wherein you can use your mouse to move your Avatar through a 3D space that other people are moving their own Avatars through, so you 'meet' them, can type discussions back and forth, go find Bill Kirchen, etc. Yes, it's a Brave New World! |

| Man! That was a fun experience! You got to walk around the lawn with other people's avatars, watching the live concert (good sound!), clap, cheer, etc., and I think the band could see our avatars on a screen in front of them, and read what we were texting, etc. Man! A real interaction between Reality and Virtual Reality. Welcome to the Brave New World! Yowza! No telling where this will lead... |
