Last night Gospeed and I went to a Kaklick Martin concert at Luxor (thanks Go for the pic I snatched from your flickr page) Klick is a fantastic artist and has a very unique show. He's been around SL long enough to have created some really cool songs that exemplify the SL experience. His concerts are really fun and really hit home to anyone that has been in SL for any length of time.
Shortly before the end of the show Silas Scarborough arrived and after Kaklick was finished I stood around and chatted with the group of them until 3am. Silas is a riot and read to us an appeal from his friend Bubba for funds to take a trip to Aruba, it's the result of a situation that I won't get into here, but I laughed so hard and haven't had such a good time in an evening in a long time.

Today was interesting. It started out early this morning with a trip over to Circe's Sunset Jazz club with a pajama jazz session. From there I headed over to Sailors Cove for the Tako Cup races and hung out with friends for a while, until I received a group IM from my friend Cecil Hirvi. Cecil is a Second Life film maker and has some really wonderful videos posted on his YouTube page. Today's IM had to do with a photo he wanted to take to recreate a Van Gogh painting. Myself and several friends tp'd to the location of the shoot and were directed to seats. It really was fun and I look forward to the final product which is intended for a RL art exhibit.

After the photo shoot, I returned to Sailors Cove just in time to catch the end of the races. Everyone headed over to the club house (talk about a crowd) for the debriefing, when I got a RL phone call to help out a neighbor. I logged off and returned later just in time to catch the last half hour of NuScore Kidd's show at Sunset Jazz club.

OMG!!! This UK artist has one of the sexiest voices I've ever heard in SL. His audience interaction is fantastic and he improvised several songs directed to the ladies attending the show. If Barry White were in SL his name would be NuScore Kidd. I IM'd him after the show to see if he's interested in doing a performance at Sailors Cove Theater and am working on setting up a date. This guy is hot hot....

An evening of dancing

I decided to make last night a concert night, not at Sailors Cove, but traveling around and checking out other people's concerts. Starting out the evening I joined Gospeed at Paisley's concert at the Lift. I had to grab a snapshot of her gown, omg, it was incredible. The detail on the metallic flower pieces just blew my mind and I've got to find out who the designer is. Paisley as usual was just superb, singing some songs that I hadn't heard before, plus my favorite of all "Nature Boy"


After Paisley's show GoSpeed had to head to bed so I zipped over to catch Louis Volare. It's been ages since I've been able to attend one of his concerts and I'm so glad that I was able to go. It brought me back to my first few months in SL, when I first heard him play at Nantucket and reminded me once again what a beautiful thing live music in Second Life really is and why I fell in love with it.

At Louis' show I ran into my dear friend Tilinitchief. Chief was kind enough to dance with me during the show (so I wouldn't be a lonely wall flower) and afterwards I joined him at Pannies where Rosedrop Rust was performing. WOW. I'm speechless. Rusty is just awesome, I would love to have him at Sailors Cove and am working up the guts to ask :)

After Pannies, and because I was still wearing my gown from Paisley's show, Chief invited me to dance at Avilion Castle. This place has to be one of the most beautiful sim's in SL. I just wish it weren't so laggy. We danced a beautiful waltz under the stars with a waterfall backdrop. What a lovely evening.
Today we had Alisha Yao at Sailors Cove. I've been able to book Alisha as a regular now and she'll be performing every Thursday night at 6pm SLT. Tonight's show was fun. Alisha surprised us with a little quiz. She sang some tunes from TV sitcoms and whoever guessed received a free t-shirt. Unfortunately her biggest fan (so he claims) Random Torok didn't get the prize and as a jest took off his jacket to show everyone his shirtless situation. From what I understand, Aisha took pitty on him and gave him a T-shirt after the show. I also want to personally let Random know that we truly appreciate his support of Sailors Cove Theater!

Catch up time

I've been spending a lot of time lately flitting around from concert to concert in addition to working my own at Sailors Cove. Grabbed this shot of legendary Paisley Fan, Tay Runo about a week ago at her concert at sailors. Tay is known for his vast number of AV's and he didn't disappoint that week when he turned himself into the cutest little baby. Some people thought it was a bit creepy, but I thought he was just adorable waddling around.
I grabbed this shot at the ACA Sims after Abella Beck again won 2 out of three races. Surfwidow passed out some Sailors Cove advertisement boards and we all put them on and goofed off a bit. hmm.... maybe I should wear mine over at the welcome center to let ppl know about our beautiful home sims :)
For some reason, I've really be into tinies lately :). I was given several freebies by my friend Grizzy and already had my fox av, so I did a search on SLExchange and found a couple more. I picked up an adorable teddy bear, and this one, my favorite, a cute littly bunny.

Was visiting with my friends Epi, Beejee and Abella and they liked it so much they decided to pick up their own, whereupon we descended on a Sting Rhode concert and danced on stage. What fun!!!! I love walking around in my bunny, people are really nice and complimentary.
This is my friend Mermaid Shilova. In real life she's my neighbor from across the street and a very good friend. I showed what I was doing in SL and she got all excited about it and poof, here she is. I helped her set up her AV with some freebie hair and clothes and my good friend GoSpeed Racer was kind enough to give her a very pretty skin. She doesn't come online that often because she's really busy in RL but it's exciting to show her around when she does come onlin.
Here's Mermaid, me in my bunny suit and Abella relaxing in Abella's new garden that she and Jean built on top of their skybox. It's so pretty there. She's got some wonderful poses and has built a pretty little pool with Koi swimming around in it. Abella has a wonderful sense when it comes to textures and decorating and I'm real happy for them.

Exploring and contemplation

I've been doing a bit of exploring lately, what fun. It's one of the things I miss from my early days in SL. I've been pretty wrapped up in one place for a while, so when my friend GoSpeed invited me to check out a new place I jumped at the chance.


I don't know if I've posted a picture of myself yet in my new Silver Fox AV, but that's me sitting on the ground at the Straylight Sim. We stopped for a moment at this beautiful waterfall and chatted with some folks that appeared to be swimming. Over my shoulder I noticed a strange clump of rocks with a name bubble hanging over it. Turns out it was a brand new resident of SL who just for kicks attached a bunch of rocks all over his body.... talk about funny looking.

Here is a better shot of my new AV. I got it at the Werehouse, it's really awesome and comes with it's own AO, flexi tail and effects. I really like to wander around in it. Sometimes people don't realize that I'm an AV and say funny things about me. Bent's not crazy about it tho and refuses to be around me when I'm in Fox form..... ah well... maybe we'll have to get him his own critter AV so he'll be more comfortable.


Last night after Wendy Curtiss' show at the theater I went up to the house and sat on the porch. I love my little blue bird and snapped this picture of it flying off while I was sitting there. Now I just need to add some sound effects to make it just right.


Over my shoulder I saw the sun begin to set and slipped to the other side of the porch to watch. Couldn't resist taking this pic, I take them in RL all the time too, and even have one of my RL originals in the dining room of our cabin.


While I was sitting there I got an IM from another resident, Delinda. She invited me to visit the sim of a friend of hers. All I can say is OMG, everyone needs to visit the Twilight Gates Sim and explore the magnificent castles there.

All of the builds on the sim are for sale. The textures and layouts are just about the most incredible I've seen in SL..... definitely a place worth visiting.

Dancing with Bent

Bent and I are very excited! We went shopping day before yesterday and finally got him new skin, shape and hair. Oh my! He's looking sooooo good :). You won't believe the compliments that I've received in IM about his new look. Diana calls him King George of Bent (hehe) with his silver hair and beard he's looking more the statesman than the thug.

To celebrate, we dressed up and went to a Heath Elvehjem concert at Club Neptune and danced all evening..... boy, do I feel pretty next to him :)

And the beat goes on....

I resigned tonight as promoter for all of the artists I've been working for. I need to concentrate on some RL issues right now and just don't have the time required to do a good job.

I'm going to continue working at Sailors Cove Theater because of the commitment I've already made. Will have to see how things work out. Life is a little nuts right now.

Come On In

One of the cool things about living in a park on the side of a mountain is the visitors. I sit out on the porch and folks who are exploring pass by. If I see them approach on my radar I say hello. Some stop and chat, others pass on by either ignoring me, or missing my greeting. You meet some pretty nice people this way.

The park is looking better and better every day. Last night the horse and shed that was over on the Fisher's Island park popped up behind the mountain. Flowers are springing up all around and dances and cuddle poses are tucked away in sunny and secluded spots. I'm really looking forward to being here.
