Traveling Virtually

I went to a concert during the pandemic but from the safety of my home. It was loud and exciting, and I didn't even need a ticket. I watched a live concert of Halestorm performing at the Mohegan Sun arena using my phone and Virtual Reality (VR) headset. 

The concert itself was better than one other VR concert I went to last year, Avenged Sevenfold performing on top of Capital Records (Live from Capital Records). That concert was good but it was too quiet, it felt more like a studio performance. There were not any fans to pump the band up. 

But if I want to enjoy the band with a live audience, I can just go back to Rock Allegiance where they blew my mind opening their set with Nightmare. 

Seeing Halestorm in VR on YouTube (A Virtual Reality Concert With Halestorm) was a unique experience, it felt like I was on stage watching them. I got different views of the concert: the video would switch to the crowd, Lizzy standing in front of the crowd and me facing the band as if I am on stage with them.  When I was looking at the crowd,  would have to look around if I wanted to find the band again. During the video, I even found myself mouthing the words like I do at regular concerts.

The traveling didn't stop there, my next stop was Disney Land but in Animal Crossing using dream lands.

The game lets players travel to different places by sleeping on a dream bed. After laying down on the bed, an elephant asks you where you want to travel. To travel, you just put in a dream address and off you go.

The first dream I visited was Disney Land (DA- 2015-3877-9796). It was cute but not as cool as another land I visited called Aniville (DA-3944-5250-2664). It was packed with video game references like Pac-Man and Mario on the ground. The dream land had a video game bar or cafe with tables to sit at and plenty of games to play. 

The last island I visited in my dream to discuss was hard to pick.  It was between one island named Nowhere (DA- 1790-5385-6731) and

another named Quarantine (DA-9209-6916-6312) . I visited both to see which one was better.

Nowhere reminded me of where Courage the Cowardly Dog lives in the show. Nope, I was wrong. It was like a zen garden with a lot of stone walkways. 

Quarantina was a fun island. If I lived on this island, I would have so much to do. It has basketball, beach chairs to lay on, a diner and a lot of pretty flowers to admire. Traveling through dream lands are fun but I just wish I could take back things I picked up in the lands. Oh well. 

Leave a comment if I should visit more Dreamlands or if there are lands you recommend.
