Where to start!

Oh my gosh, there has been so much happening lately I don't know if I can catch up!... Let's see, where to start:

Jeff Tully:
I'm not sure how long Jeff has been performing in Second Life, but I'm so glad I found him. Jeff is a Country Music singer from my home town!! Wow.... how exciting. Not only is it exciting to find someone that you feel you have a special connection with, but to top it all off he has a fantastic voice.The show was pretty early in the afternoon and there were mostly girls there.... but us girls had a great time, line dancing and swooning to his sexy tunes.....ahh.... what fun.

Circe Broom:

Circe Broom was at the concert (of course) and while there she told us that a story had been written about her in the Baltimore Sun paper. It's a great story and I'm glad that she's my friend.


Heath Elvehjem:


Bent and I headed over to Nantucket to listen to Heath play. We arrived early and found Heath there alone. He was goofing around with an invisibility script and I kept finding pieces of him (hair and shirt cuffs) floating in the air. Fortunately I was the only one that saw it. Then he put on this funny hat and went "away". Bent took a seat in the sand next to him to protect him from possible muggers....

I took advantage of the poor guy and grabbed this shot..... I kinda like the way it turned out and gave him a copy... he said he liked it to....lol...

Bent and I left the concert a bit early because the lag was driving him crazy. We decided to go exploring and I took him to Unity City, a place that I had accidentally found the day before. It's really a beautiful place and they have some interesting sights to see there.

Elegance and smooth sultry sounds

One of the most beautiful clubs in Second Life has to be Club Egret on Gammet Island. It's a huge venue built in an art deco style. It is elegant, exclusive and has a strict dress code that enables the owner to maintain the uniqueness of it's environment.

I was excited to be there, and even bought a new gown just for the occasion, a live concert by Paisley Beebe and George Bing. Paisley, (Leonie Smith) and George (George Golla)are renowned Jazz artists from Austrailia.

Paisley looked exquisite in her white satin gown. I arrived very early and was standing in the back greeting other concert goers as they arrived. The dance floor quickly filled up when the music began. So many of my friends came, some bringing other friends to listen and dance to Paisley's smooth vocals and George's expert guitar.

Rumor has it that at one point there were over 90 people in attendance..... a HUGE crowd, all dressed up in their best evening gowns, suits and tuxedos. And you should have heard them talk. The compliments were flowing all around about how wonderful Paisley sounded and when she asked for requests the messages started flowing. I was too excited when she sang Nature Boy from their music CD Never The Less, one of my favorite tunes, probably because it references going to sea, and I just love anything that involves sailing :)

Most exciting night!

Whew... I'm so excited I don't even know where to start. Bent and I went shopping today to buy him a new suit. We've been going to so many concerts I wanted him to have something else to wear other than his tux. We found a really nice 3 piece suit with matching shoes and a hat, but unfortunately he can't wear the hat because it occupies the same space as his hair. We'll have to figure that one out.

We hopped over to Nantucket for a Jazz concert by Paisley Beebe. All I can say is WOW! What a voice! Paisley is Leonie Smith from Australia and has a smooth jazzy sound that is soothing and relaxing. She has several songs on her MySpace page and I couldn't resist but add the song "Nature Boy" to my own MySpace page. More to come on this, will have to see :) Word is also getting out about her because I found another blog by Cylindrian talking about how great her sound is too.

I have some work cut out for me during the next week!

Home Sweet Home...

Bent and I spent hours last night working on our house in the sky. I received an IM from our landlady about the group I had started so that the two of us can share ownership. She set up the group as the land owner and now the both of us can call the place as home. It's so strange having so many prims to work with and I've decided that I need to pick up a new living room and bedroom suite to make things look better. Right now we're still using all of the old stuff that I had in our apartment. While we were there the neighbors showed up and Bent teleported to ground level to introduce himself but they were very busy working on their house and didn't stop to chat with him. There's so much to learn about building but I was successful in creating a stairway up to the second floor so that we don't have to try to jump up there (it's very hard to fly when you're that far up in the sky). It's so cool having a place that we can change around to our suiting. Now I really need to organize my inventory and clean it up, I've got so much junk in there that I picked up at freebie warehouses. Sometimes you can find a treasure, but most of the time it's all junk.

Land!

Bent and I went to a Luigi Volare concert last night at a beautiful jazz club. Unfortunately the lag was awful (either that our our internet connection) and we both crashed several times.

After he headed to bed I logged off and just cruised the web a while and then I decided to check back in real quick and remove the contents of my apartment so that it won't be auto returned to me tomorrow. When I logged in I had an IM from Pat. He and I spoke earlier for a while and I explained what was happening with our apartment and told him that I was looking for land to rent or buy. The IM said that a lot had just come available on his island so I teleported over and took a look. It's a great deal... cheaper than what I'm paying for my premium membership so I took the land and will not renew the membership (don't need a premium membership to own/rent land on a private sim).

It's a very pretty quiet place. I spoke with the landlord and she's very nice. I've decided to put a garden on the ground and a platform in the sky for our home so we can have a little bit of privacy. Now comes the fun part... picking out the house and furnishing it :)

Starlight in Hollywood

Boy, do I love to dance! Every chance I get I want to be out there on the dance floor, trying all of the different moves. Last night Bent and I went to 5 O'clock Somewhere beach and listened to some Beach Boys and Jimmy Buffett, we danced for a little while and explored some too. When he logged off I got an IM from Chief. We chatted a bit and since I had heard that there was a party in Hollywood I invited him over to dance a bit.

The music was Jazzy and we stayed there until I received a message from EAF that Jamey was doing a radio show so we hopped over and joined the crowd. Heath and Kori were there and so was Lehua. Bent came back online and joined us for a bit. Had fun chatting with everyone and dancing for a short while with Bent. Unfortunately I crashed twice and finally gave up and headed to bed.

There's good news on the NYC. Cory, Jane and Francois are taking over the club and it should be replaced shortly. We have assurances from the new land owner that we'll still be able to sail. Will be interesting to see how the land changes though.

Death of the NYC?

I received a horrible note last night that the Nantucket Yacht Club is being disbanded!! Oh no! This morning there was a posting by Cory Copeland on the SLSF website that didn't explain much but asked for input from the members. I put my two cents in but sure would like to know what's going on.

I do know that Barb Carson has sold much of the East End sims, but don't know what that means as far as the yacht club is concerned or the Mystic shops where Diana has her bookstore.... sure wish they would let us know what's going on.
