Woohoo! We’re on the road again! And here’s one of the people I met today, one of Mom’s friends from SecondLife.
This morning mom started packing again. She was rushing around trying to get everything ready. She’d been talking about going to a jam for weeks but I don’t really care about fruit and sugar and how do you go to a jam. She piled a small suitcase and some work stuff in the car. She’s meeting with someone in Chicago for work (she’s consulting now in addition to Disability Assistance Dogs) and she says we’re going to a jam. And off we headed to Chicago. It was a short drive today, only 3 hours. Maybe we’ll go further tomorrow. Mom says no though, just to Chicago and back.
As soon as mom started driving, I went to sleep as usual. We got to Chicago and found out that the tornado that hit Des Plaines earlier this week on Tuesday had knocked out the power at the hotel and it was still out! But the hotel had a generator set up for the jam.
Now I know what a jam is.. it has nothing to do with fruit and sugar. It’s music! Mom listens to people perform in SecondLife. Now some of those people are getting together in Real Life to jam together. It is sooooooo cool! There is tons of energy and I am so excited! The music is loud, but mom enjoys it, and so do all the people there. Different people take turns and sometimes there’s 6 or 7 at once, sometimes one or two but almost always some music.
Wow it’s incredible! Here’s some pictures from the jam!
