So today was quite interesting. First a limited edition dress in Second Life with only 20 copies available in a game of thousands. Five released during four times: 3 AM, 9 AM, 3 PM and 9 PM. Well 3 AM was out of the question since I had to go to work today and 9 AM wouldn't work either unless I wanted to call in sick. Therefore I was left with 3 and 9. I really didn't care for 9 because so many people would be off from work so to be one of the five to get a dress in that crowd...almost impossible. 3 pm had a lot of advantages, first of all it was late for Europeans and second of all too early for West Coasters. The trouble was getting a lunch at work that late. I needed to be at home at least by 2:30 to get a good place in the store. Fortunately, there weren't that many BSR's working so I got my request. When I got home, the game wouldn't run. Had to restart a few times and then it was ten minutes till the release. I waited patiently and even had a chance to grab one early when I saw where the designer was pricing the five gowns but I held off. Patience was rewarded and she lowered the display, by mistake hiding some of it in the ground which I figured out quickly and got my copy :) Now I'm one of only twenty lucky girls on the grid with THIS particular dress.
