The problem with the term "up to" is that I always recall that it includes the number "naught."

And to further hyjack this thread ...

I have played to "naught" ... though, one person showed up ... looked around ...must have said "WTF" and left.

And with a 30-45 sec delay on the stream .... it's hard to yell out "Hi ..." before they are gone.

I need a promoter Crying or Very sad

Well.. I think the absolute worst blow to self esteem...

... is you're the only green dot in the sim, and you're performing live...
... and you check your stream listener details and it shows 0 listeners, instead of 1.... not even you are counted as listening to your own stream.

My record-low attendance was four. It was odd. I think SL must have been screwing up for people. Every other show was 20-30 on average, sometimes over 40, making my previous mainland send them outside the region to wait to get in. Then one Wednesday, four people showed and one was my wife. The next night at Mama's Blues Club, 40. Go figure. The night before, 30 on a Tuesday. Oh well, such is Second Life.

It's disappointing but almost an honor when only a few people show up. Of course that never happens to me so I'll relate my interpretation of that eventuality. What it means is that there's huge competition in that time slot and the people who are there could have gone a zillion other places.

Another one that would be a crusher if it ever happened to me, which of course it doesn't, is when you do a gig on your land and your home stage and no-one shows up.

Well, like I say, of course that has never happened to me. Of course.

Performers aren't going to like this but most are self-destructing. There's no way you can do three gigs a day every day without burning yourself out and without burning out interest in your audience.

The reason numbers are low at gigs is that people are doing way, way too many of them. Yep, I know you can't make any jingle if you don't but you're not going to make any significant jingle in SL anyway. If jingle really is the deal, you might as well work at McD's as you'll make about the same and you won't have to buy any equipment.

I've roped my gigs way back from what I was doing for years and I'm enjoying them more. SL had turned into another boring job and now I only do a gig when I feel like it and I really like whoever owns the venue. Suddenly it's fun again!
