Friday night, finally... we were sorting through notes when we got the shout for Jinx Paz's birthday party.



Dancing in the street... literally. We were at a Beckenbauer Productions scene. Very "Hello Kitty..." Cute, cute, cute.



Jinx was in pink hair matching the bright glow of the pink neon. All fluffy, all sweet... perfect for a birthday girl.

Well, vacation is almost over for me... so I popped in the virtual world of Second Life to check out the scene. A million notecards and messages totally capped, I am sure I missed a bunch of stuff!



Firefury Burns, Mr Particle man himself sent out a tp to come check out Amanita. Very cool club. Clean lines and psy, techno music to boot.



DJ Viinc Citron was spinning a nice psy set with a heavy beat. Nice, nice... a very chill time for me.

RAFTWET Jewell in Second Life

Lazy Sunday morning with a cup of tea in my hand, the cat on my lap and 100 degrees blazing outside on a gorgeous California day... I just left a fundraising party. I needed a chill pill or at least a little R&R.

Zap Hax sent a shout just in time for his minimal electro tunes. I headed for his club Electro Smog on the New Berlin sim.  

On top of the sim is a collection of buildings and cityscape that fools the viewer into thinking that the community is a corporate one. But, underneath the clean sidewalks and neatly arranged city trees lies the most underground club of them all... Electro Smog.  

This little club adjacent to the railroad tunnel lurks a collection of the best dj's of the electro genre. Stop by for an hour or two to absord the tunes and meet the friends there. Besides, Zap is here and that's all I need.

RAFTWET Jewell in Second Life



raftwet jewell aka rafee jewell, originally uploaded by rafeejewell.

Recently a contact took this photo, fixed a portion of the skirt, reloaded into their own photo directory and then sent comments to me about it.

I am sure they did not mean to create a problem, but I ended up doing all rafee jewell aka raftwet jewell's avatar's 14,000 pictures and their permissions all over again.

I think asking first is a better way to go. I've had educational, news and other photographers ask me if they can use my pictures. I always say yes as long as they link back and give me photo credit.

The person did a beautiful job and I reloaded the fixed image and gave her credit for the fix... but next time I just want to be asked first.

Intellectual property is just that... property that belongs to the creator or artist.

RAVERZ STYLE:Z and RAVELONG

I got into a long conversation with Raver who owns Raverz Style:z, a cool shop for ravers on the grid while I was dancing with my angel at Sphynx Club while DJ Jen Noel was spinning. As The Dealer set out her belly dancing Indian music, I was zoning and chatting with Raver, Mr. Retail himself.

We were bouncing off ideas for vendors, affiliates and other such boring talk about shops and such. He had just sent me the new affiliate kiosks for my shops... streamlined and better scripted.

I asked him about his suggestions about traffic and advertising, and I gave him suggestions about how to manage all the vendors and rental boxes with Hippo Tech. I love talking to fellow business owners. Their past experiences on the grid help those of us who are still new at selling products and services on the grid. And even more fun doing business talk while your dancing!



Raver has his products now in another friend's shop, DJ Doubledown Tandino. Doubledown has a one-stop-shop for clubs and dj's. He is also the developer of the Metahud. IM him directly or go to his shop for that all-in-one hud for search and other SL functions.



Doubledown sent me a tp this morning. He was spinning some tunes in front of his shop, Ravelong. Sexy beats with a Latin flavor kept me there while I took pics and wrote notes. It's a great shop for clubs and djs. Go check it out!
