A Typical Friday Night

For years now Sky and I have always kept our late Friday nights open. Our good friends Graylon Ash and Jami Mills (Are we related? I'm not gonna say!) put on a party.  It starts late and goes until we collapse or Gray collapses. Most of the time it's us. Over the years it has become a pastime for many people.  Here we are having a beach party, no sand, no waves, no trees.  But still full. Why?  Because we all are good friends who like to see each other at the end of a long hard week. This is what makes Second Life fun.

What a Small World We Live In

So my good friend Gudrun sends me a quick IM the other night.  She's asking me if I can hop onto the teleport she sent me to see if it works. She has another friend who is opening a club and just want's to see if it works.  I figure Gud (I pronounce that "good") is sending me to her friend's place for real, or someplace where I can get into some real trouble. In either case it sounds like lots of fun so without another thought, like a lot were going through my head anyways, I press the button and find myself in a rather large club.

Always keeping my mini-map up and in the corner I immediately check it to make sure I've not landed on somebody and immediately move away from the landing zone making sure I don't run over anybody.  Oh yeah, as I ramble on here.  Anybody that says "Sorry if I run into you, nothing is rezzed yet" is a total fail.  The mini-map tells you where people are even if they aren't rezzed yet.  Yes you should wait ten or fifteen seconds to let it find everyone but most people do that anyways.

Now back to my original rant.  So I check my mini-map looking for the yellow dot that would tell me where Gud is.  Surprisingly I see not one but two yellow dots on the mini-map.  Firing up the ol' perv cam I send it on its way.  And who do I find?  Vonny, a very old dear friend of mine.  Her partner Lou is starting up a new club, "Little Lou*s Club".  I really had a wonderful time catching up with Vonny.  I hope she and Lou the best in getting their new adventure off the ground and I'll be back to visit to hopefully see other old friends and catch back up.

Funny how big Second Life can be and yet, how small of a community it can also be.

We had to move

Sky and I had to move.  Her sister has taken some time off in SL to pursue her RL.  We both wish her well and hope she stops by from time to time to say hi.  Since we were sharing a homestead sim with her we had to move out since we didn't wish to pay for the entire sim.  We moved back to Tribe Islands.  I say moved back because we used to live in Tribe Islands before we shared the homestead.

I also talked Sky into doing something a little more out of our norm when it comes to setting up our home.  Sky really likes a modern contemporary look to her homes and I can say I like many of the styles that all of the SL builders provide.  Instead we decided to go with a small cottage and landscape the surrounding area. More to come as we fill the 8192 sqm parcel with prims!

I danced with the Prezz!

Last night while I was hosting at Mojo Haven we had a light crowd.  We usually do as the time I host is the first event of a series for Saturday nights.  It's up to me to get the mood started I guess. So anyways, Tycho and I are hanging out, he's pushing some great music through the stream for our few guests when Barack Obama shows up!  The avi was a dead ringer and he played the part the entire evening.  Though he was acting more like Clinton while we danced.  I still have the bruises on my ass where he was squeezing it to prove it.

I'm up to Miniskirts

Well I'm still uploading all of my outfits to the blog.  I never thought it would take this long.. But I'm not even halfway through!!  Aaaaaccccckkkkkkk!  Take a look at my outfits.  Click the outfits tab at the top of the page.

Saying goodbye to a long tradition

Tonight I'm listening to one of my favorite live artists in Second Life.  He's playing at a club I'm familiar with called the Sunset Jazz Club.  The artist is Andreus Gustafson.  He goes by Anj and is a great keyboard / guitarist that plays a lot of progressive music.  So he's between songs and he says that his show at the ballroom will be his last because they are closing down.  The Sunset Jazz Club has been a great place to discover new live talent in Second Life and I know that I will surely miss stopping by there to discover them.

My Outfits

Well it's gotten to the point where I have so many outfits that I can't remember what I have!  So I decided to start cataloging them.  It also came to mind that I could link them here so you can all see my different looks and comment on them. Now try not to make me cry!

Just so you know I'm not going for artistic creativity here.  All of the pictures are using the same pose and the same background.  What I'm looking for here is to just get them all photographed and cataloged for now.  Maybe once they are all complete I'll start to look at providing a more polished set of photos.  For now, it works for me.

This is a work in progress, so enjoy and check back regularly for updates.  The links to the pictures are in the "My Outfits" tab at the top of the page.
