I'll have to check the Ren Festival out Beebo. That sounds like fun. I also may IM you about the Elf circle and about the tour, if it's okay.
Walker: I tried hanging out at the New Citizens Plaza, but I just didn't feel it there. Maybe it was just me, but I was seeking out areas with more established people.
Beathag: I think I might check Venus out, one of the two friends I actually made has this as one of her picks. I hadn't really thought about orientation in
SL, since right now I'm not looking for anything on that level.
Sooz and Craig: I wasn't up late enough to see you guys.

Because of the time change I'm getting sleepy early (and I'm in Central time zone). I went to bed at 10:30 pm central time, so I think it was a little early to catch ya'll.
Thanks for all the suggestions! By this weekend I should be able to try most of them, or contact ya'll about them.
Last night I went shopping (again). I ended up spending too much at Aveda for hair....
