Whisperers

They whisper in secret, spreading their venom, striking fear, questioning, accusing, abusing. Some succumb, not questioning, believing the lies, the hate, the misery. Some just remain silent in fear of rejection or fear of exposure or just in response to the age old guilt trip.

They demand a decision, taking of sides, accuse betrayal in disagreement when it's actually their own actions are betraying the friendship.

Who does this to a friend? Who empowers these petty, insecure little whisperers? Why are they empowered? Why are some so afraid to stand up and say enough is enough.

A friend stands by you, a friend is there when you need them, a friend makes no demands, a friend does not demand a choice between them or others, a friend just loves.

I am here if you need me, I will answer your questions, I do not hide and I do not demand loyalty you are free. I am the same as I've always been except perhaps a little stronger than before...

Big Show Day

Maximillion Kleene, originally uploaded by Jojamela Soon.

Thursdays are my big show days at the Cove and yesterday was no exception. I had a great lineup of regulars and specials, nine whole hours of live music with lots of great tunes and great fans.

I started the day a bit frazzled. RL got into the way and I got stuck on the road making myself late for DaveCorbett Darwin's show at 11am SLT. I dot there about 20 minutes after show start time and found that Dave wasn't streaming yet. We worked out the problem and Dave put on a great set. It was at this show that I finally had the pleasure to meet LittleNoisyFox, what an absolute delight!!! Soon as I saw him I threw out a tiny critters dance machine so he and another tiny that showed up were able to dance.... I wish I had gotten a picture, I always have so many IM's going on all at the same time, plus trying to pay attention to the show, somehow the pictures just seem to fall into the background.

Huge lineup of shows, starting with Davecorbett Darwin at 11am, Fyrm Fouroux at 1pm, Joaquin Gustav at 2, the awesome Fable Sinatra at 3. After an hour break we continued with Vincent Merricks at 5, Maximillion Kleene at 6 (this was totally awesome, cause Max is known for jamming with musicians all around the world and this show was no exception. First he brought in Digby Smalls for one song, and then Keiko Takamura, who had just shown up for her set for another.... what a treat!!) Keiko took the stage a bit late and was followed by Winters Kanto and Heath Elvehjem. All together a great day of music!!

Surprise!!

OMG, what a great bunch of friends I have. Monday was my RL birthday and I had a nice lineup of shows and surprise surprise, Truelie Telling and Vaughan Michalak came bearing gifts and party supplies.

I didn't get a picture of Truelie's set (dagnabbit, was having so much fun I forgot to take pictures!!) But I did catch one of Vaughan on stage and one of Wendy & Lonnie

Thank you to everyone that came out and helped out, you are all the best!!!

Thru the view finder

Last night I was out flying around and I took a look at the cool things that Lario has done at Lewis rock. I loved this view finder. It's so realistic.

I have a big week of concerts coming up, that's exciting but will also be exhausting.

Lilli & Bot

Sometimes you make a friend in SL that is so very special. I met Lillindrial through an inworld game called Tiny Empires that my friend and SL Musician Kaklick Martin got me involved in.

Lilli and I have been through some hard times together, but things are really looking up for her. I was so honored when she asked me to stand in her SL wedding as maid of honor. What a wonderful thing. Such a moving ceremony. I sincerely wish Lilli and Bott all the best.

Fyrm sings the chicken song

Thursdays are always my big music day at SCT and I usually have a huge lineup with only a few breaks between sets. All of the shows are my favorites but one in particular stands out each week as really fun.

Fyrm Fouroux is a British musician. He has a deep bass voice and a ton of unique original songs and even his covers come out sounding a bit like a sea shanty. While I love his music I really also enjoy the bunch of fans that come to this show week after week. We're always cutting up, laughing and poking at each other, and sometimes we poke at poor Fyrm too.... this week he sang his Khuna(sp?) chicken song and I rezzed a chicken on stage while he was singing. After that he sang a song about a blob and I blobbed him (tho I don't know for sure that he saw that one).

A few weeks ago we had a Leather & Latex party at his show, this week we decided we needed another themed party, so next week we're doing a medieval themed one.... oh and Sally is building a stage bed for it..... don't ask... just come see for yourself :)

Flying my Fizz

I finally broke down yesterday and bought a Flying Fizz. I still have a lot to learn about it and hope that I get the chance to read the documentation soon. So far I've only taken it out a couple of times and have only sailed it once. I hope to do some customizing to it really soon.

I sailed it in fun mode and only flipped it 3-4 times :P
