Update on Avatars as Masks

Just a note to let everyone know that our group's work is progressing nicely. We had our second gathering for the week in our house on the island and have a faithful group of people that attend each oppotunrity. NOt only are we finding them active in our study, but they are actively enjoying SL, seeking out new places to go and trying different things.

Tonight we partied for a time in our house, then went to Frank's Place for some Jazz dancing where one of the participants led me in a nice waltz. We have one more week to go before we open our final portion of our study, then all data will be collected with the exception of phone interviews that I will begin post-study.

The main comments tonight related to new people met, neat places to go, and clothing options - in addition to conversation about roommates, spouses, men vs. women, and a single sentence that really brought things home for our study. "It really is different, isn't it. Second life."

See you all in class!
