Things went all right for our open house, which was good. I got there at about 12:50 and someone from another world was there looking around. Then Rich came in, the queenbee and Ladybug, Phil from Taholah, Hammer and his students, and Leslie and Alina. The girls were both late - that was all right. queenbee is the big power behind this entire scheme - she's awfully nice. I spent some time talking to her in private, and she said she is coming out to Seattle in July and will rent a car and drive down to Oly. I'd spoken previously with Mothra, so I could say we both are interested in continuing the virtual world project next year. Mothra and our students were missing due to dreaded WASL testing all week. Hammer was a lot of fun - what a nice man. The eighth graders were flighty, to say the least, and it didn't help much that they were sharing log-ins as we only had 5 guest accounts. On the whole it went as well as could be expected. I'd been slightly worried that Hammer wouldn't get them logged in promptly, but he was great. I'd had to sort out a log-in problem (just a permission-to-enter-world thing), so although he had inworld experience yesterday, it was through Mothra's account.

Went into Second Life to visit the new island called Taco, which is well-done in a toon theme with a "Dwellget" store and an apartment house.

I liked this floating teacup.
