Subject: demonstrating my SL installation to a friend

demonstrating my SL installation to a friend here's the problem: there's no place to stand; you might fall any time; you might lose me if I fall; you need a flight bracelet to stay up and hold on; it's difficult to move around; the small area is relatively complex; it's hard to know where to sit; too many particle might flow when you sit; you might not be able to see beyond the particles; your computer might slow up too much; your interface might grind to a halt; the SL servers might slow up; your computer might freeze; the SL servers might overload; you might lose track of your avatar; you might not turn the video on; you might turn the video on and overload your computer; you might not have the particles set to maximum in preferences; you might not have turned media on; you might stand up and fall; you might not understand what's on the screen; you might need a flight feather; you might forget where you are; you might not have been able to reach the place; you might not know where the place is; you might forget to landmark the place; you might forget my avatar names; you might not be my friend; you might not be teleported; I might not be online; your camera lens might be poorly set; you might be confused from the avatar viewpoint; you might not know the boundaries of my space; you might think other objects in the vicinity are part of my work; you might not see the dance of your sitting avatar; you might not realize the dance is a motion-capture dance; you might not understand the motion-capture software; you might not know you're dancing one of five dances; you might not know the dances are chosen randomly; you might not have shaders on; you might not have the landscape set high; you might not have sufficient weather; you might not have water or atmospheric shaders; you might not have the sound on high; you might not have the sound turned on; you might lose patience with the installation; you might not know what to do; you might not know why you're doing it; http://www.alansondheim.org/showing.mp4
