Holler back girl! And the party continues. I went from soulful blues to jazz to Brasil to the mash-up fun at Muzik Haus.





It's late night or early morning and Friday is here! Mr Widget is spinning an eclectic, electric mash of everything. Fits my mood...






I saw Naofume, Healer, Ices, Alienspeaking and more hanging with the tunes. Weekend is here... woot!

the pocket for live music

THE POCKET for Live Music


the pocket for live music, originally uploaded by rafeejewell.

We dropped off at The Pocket on Freestar Bay Isle to listen to a couple of sets of live music. The Pocket is one of the first places that I ever attended for live music in Second Life.



Winston Auckland was strumming his guitar and singing an electic set of music including a very jazzy version of a Kurt Cobain song that had me smiling.






OhMyKidd was next and we decided to hang for a while, relax to the music here. I saw a lot of old famiiar names here from other live music venues. And, that is a comfort for me...

OK Go - This Too Shall Pass

A good friend, an industrial designer, sent me this little video. I like it very much. It's a kinetic explosion of art, design, engineering and music. And, it's very silly and isn't meant for anything but a visual effect. I would like to build this in the virtual world! Can you imagine the scripting necessary to accomplish something like this machinery? Wow! Let's do it!



Well, it's Friday and the parties have already started. I guess I'll put on my new outfit and start the dancing animations for my avatar. I got a couple of new dances from Ministry of Motion, a great place for dancing animations. I like them, because, the dances look real... like a real person dancing instead of the over-the-top dances more designed for a professional dancer or show girl. Let's get moving... thank god it's Friday! Woot!

Omega Point Flying Cyber Aircraft in Second Life

Wow and double wow and even triple wow! I have been to Omega Point, not once, but three times.











Each time, I have found something I didn't see before. The place is mysterious and filled with fantasy. Beautifully built by the creators with an artistic passion, I fell in love with this place.













Goooooo! Go explore this place before it disappears off the grid. Please allocate at least the evening for this one. Or go back repeatedly like I keep doing and discover even more!

Uhhh, did I mention the shopping at Omega Point? Gowns, tuxedoes and more!

gardens at southern cross

Southern Cross Gardens Glass Greenhouse


gardens at southern cross, originally uploaded by rafeejewell.

A gifted garden has risen at Southern Cross Gardens. A small retail area near the beach has great gifts for this Easter. Check the toys and curios and the cute beanies for your friends.






Then take a walk along the boardwalk over to the gardens and visit the greenhouse. The paddle wheel turns gently, splashing water near the river and rock.





A brick patio is a beautiful place to sit and view the gardens while listening to the old time radio stories. I found dj TheArtfullOne Skytower's name on all the builds; a talented dj and builder.
This is a beautiful place for a date or just a nice spot for anyone looking for a relaxed chill area.









I hung out here for an hour or more just enjoying the place, listening to the stories and meeting people. Kokopu Tavern is also here. An intimate bar perfect for live music and/or club music. Kudos!

Another new live music venue is an intimate club. A small nightclub that offers jazz, live vocalists and musicians in a warm setting.





Loegan Magic is the owner of Speakeasy and he was here tonight keeping a watchful eye on the place. The hostesses at this club are friendly and welcomed everyone as we walked in.






Go check it out for a great date spot this weekend!

Avatars United

I just joined a cool network that is a conglomeration of all virtual worlds including Second Life. Cool because we can be in there and connect both socially and in business. Avatars United. LOL! yah another spam site, another place to get messages out.

You get the drift. Create a profile, add bio, add photos, add videos (not yet), make friends and create groups. The difference is that it is in my community... where I reside and work. The avatars in Second Life are in there duplicating many of the same interests and groups that they already have in world.

Both my partner and I are there enjoying the friends and groups. We brought THE A LIST! into the network and it's been fun adding new friends to the group. I also started a group on a whim that has had a nice beginning. FOOD! is a group without any pretensions except that we all love food, recipes and tips on making our kitchen prep easier. We also recommend slurls for our favorite food creators on the grid.

There are several applications that make photos and communication easier, too. I am hoping that this beta goes smoothly as I already see problems happening with the group dynamics and photo uploads. With all of us sending suggestions and the creators monitoring our behavior, I am hoping this new network will be THE site for the virtual worlds.

And, besides, I have brought in many of the Lindens onto my friends list there... even former CEO, Phil Linden. OMG! Seriously... and I hope it is actually him behind that profile representation. Hee hee!
