Daemien_Interview1

** Daemien ** : Great! ** Daemien ** : What got you into the wedding/marriage business in SL?
 * Owner ** : Hi, Daemien, I got your note
 * Daemien ** : How are you?
 * Owner ** : Fine, thanks
 * Owner ** : In reality, Fairy Tale is only one of my three venues
 * Daemien ** : Are they all marriage venues, or do you operate in others as well?
 * Owner ** : All of them for marriages. :)
 * Owner ** : But they are all at the same sim
 * Daemien ** : Oh, that's convenient.
 * Daemien ** : Would you be okay with me using the transcript of this conversation for my research?
 * Owner ** : NP
 * Daemien ** : Your Avatar name will be kept private
 * Owner ** : Business opportunity
 * Owner ** : I was invited as a bestmen to a brazilian wedding
 * Owner ** : And the chapel didn't have a brazilian priest.
 * Owner ** : So, since I speak english and portuguese I had to take that place
 * Owner ** : That was in May 2007
 * Daemien ** : Almost a year, congratulations.
 * Owner ** : I noticed that there was no wedding chapel for brazilians, portugueses, spanish...
 * Owner ** : Since I also work with events in RL... that was a simple decision
 * Daemien ** : Do you mind if I ask what type of events in RL?
 * Owner ** : But I confess being a lot upset with SL
 * Owner ** : Because we can't control the technical aspects of the event here
 * Owner ** : It is not like in RL, where I work with marketing events
 * Owner ** : And I can hire the best suppliers for light, sound, providers a.s.o
 * Owner ** : It would not be acceptable in RL to have a place where guests were forced to "log off" during the event
 * Owner ** : Or everybody at the venue started to walk slowly
 * Daemien ** : Yeah, but there are things you can do here that you can't in RL, correct?
 * Owner ** : Or somehow you were not allowed to see half the cenography because it did not load for your eyes.
 * Owner ** : When you work with events you need to get in control of every aspect.
 * Owner ** : Lag inferferes with many aspects of the event
 * Daemien ** : True.
 * Owner ** : That is why each day less and less corporations try to do events here
 * Daemien ** : Do you think the recent departure of Philip Rosdale will have an effect on that?
 * Owner ** : Probably.
 * Owner ** : It was not very well explained his departure, isn't it?
 * Daemien ** : I believe it has something to do with the direction he wants the company to go in.
 * Owner ** : **Daemien**, can we talk again on monday? I have to travel now. :)
 * Owner ** : For the weekend
 * Daemien ** : That would be great.
 * Daemien ** : I look forward to it.
 * Daemien ** : It was nice talking to you
 * Owner ** : Me too
