Shame.
Anyway, we've agreed to do the same thing next week - same day, same time. See the Facebook event page for details.
As it happens, I accidentally went into the SL Hacienda again last night and bumped into the owner and a couple of her mates. They didn't seem to like me very much, taking the piss out of my jesus sandals and general appearance somewhat remorselessly.I took it in good spirit, though it felt slightly over the top, coming from people I didn't know - one of whom was both fat and blue! Luckily I had my fat and green avatar to hand (the one I use in my SL in 3600 seconds presentation). They seemed to cheer up when I changed into that.
I explained that we wanted to use their venue for a meeting. They seemed a little bemused, but generally agreeable and I left on good terms - I'm now a proud member of the 'Hacienda Crew' SL group.
All's well that ends well as they say.

I got in about 5pm and had a brief interchange with a female avatar also there for the meeting before a RL colleague turned up. If I turn up again next week I won't be able to use the voice test excuse again. ;-)
Was in the Hac yesterday with Ali-Marie and Ruby Rickenbacker the owner showed up. "What do you UK Educators educate then eh ... don't want you using this place as a canteen" and such like. Generally unwelcome. Interesting that Manchester second night life is as dodgy as the first. Hope next week goes OK. How do you throw a punch in SL btw?
I had half-written a reply to your earlier post to say that it might be perceived as perhaps slightly "impolite" for a group that wasn't associated with the club to advertise the use of their space which (I assume) is really intended for music for a test of voice.
So I suppose I can sort of understand the reaction!
