Just starting if anyone wants to pop over http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Philereme/64/50/79

Franck Molko aka Peter Francks kicks off live performances at The HopStore this evening at 2.30pm SL time. Franck is a talented songwriter/musician and performs his own original songs in his performance along with songs from some of his favorite singers. Having played since the age of 14 with a break in between to pursue a business career he is now back on the music scene in rl playing in a Bluesband and performing solo. We are now fortunate to be able to have him perform in The HopStore today.

Just a word of cautionary advice Lillie - not knowing any of the background or the people involved myself - be careful you are not being drawn into 'drama'. But then I am a cynic :-) Good luck my friend.

I've never owned an apple product in my life but that doesn't mean I don't recognise the contribution Steve Jobs made to the technology industry - and as such to everyone across the planet. He fought a good fight and he will be missed by many. Bill Gates did a lovely tribute to him last night.

Dillon you were missed - if only to keep Maddy busy and away from feeding people. I will catch up with you soon and give a private tour. :smileywink:

Not only did Maddy attend (sadly no show from Snugs) she kept Bar and fed people. I'm expecting the insurance claims to hit the door mat on Monday. But the effort is great appreciated in the spirit in which it was given. (as it were).

The HopStore - it's an Irish Pub, Music Bar & Hangout all in one. It's purely for fun so no fortunes to be made. I'll be DJing (of a sort) from 2pm. From time to time there are Live Acts (as and when finances allow). It's in UK timezone so at the moment (as it's just me) Fridays & Saturdays will be 'open' from 2ish till whenever ish. During the week usually 12-2pm (work next day). Looking for DJs who actually like music to make the place their own - not so much dance DJs (no offence intended) The HopStore is definitely not a dance club. Anyway the party starts 2pm today - Friday 30th Sept 2011... http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Philereme/71/55/78 Everyone welcome - as it's a pub it's adult avis only :-)

Pity I won't be around to see that. Indeed, and we are learning every day. A new type of supernova was recently discovered, for example: http://smithsonianscience.org/2011/04/new-type-of-exploding-star-discovered/ It's fascinating stuff and I've always kinda wished I was smart enough to be an astrophysicist! One day, it is them who will bring humanity to a true understanding of our place in the universe. I wish I could be around to see that momentous day too, because it should finally bring to an end some of the more ... fanatstical ... beliefs people hold about our place in the universe. Beliefs that are, generally speaking, at the root of much that is wrong with humanity and holds it back. (I tired to say that as uncontroversially as I could ... did I suceed?!) :smileywink: *Signs up for lessons in how to be non-controversal.

Congrats on your survival - it gets easier from here on... honest! :smileywink:

I'm not a 'techie' person at all - but that sounds pretty remarkable to me. In truth it does bring the concept of 'space' into reality a bit more (for the likes of me anyway). 34 years, 9 billion miles - 'tis the stuff of fantasy, and it's real - awesome.

Congratulations Irene, and thank you for all the help/advice you have given me (and other too of course) over the past years.

If a slightly inadequate DJ is needed give me a yell - though my music tends to the eclectic rather than dance stuff :smileytongue:

I remember when escort clubs (like your Las Princesas) were not wholly about sex but about making friends and being in good company - that was before voice and cam made it all a bit too 'real'. :smileysad: Thanks, Mags. You are imagining the club exactly as it was. There were no poseballs and it was considered gauche to actually say things in open chat to someone about an encounter. Of course the regular open chat would make a sailor blush, but that was all just us having fun. I can tell from what you said that you know exactly what I mean. I'm glad to see you back on the Forums after a couple of weeks away. We missed you. Edited for spelling *Waves - some threads can't be ignored. Great thread Dillon - maybe it's just a 'certain generation' in SL - but this thread made me smile a lot today.

Dresden Ceriano wrote:<snipped> While I do like this suggestion, I believe there already is a forum that would be suitable for these types of posts, namely the Favorite Destinations forum. I know my home is one of my favorite destinations. I think a "Vanity thread" about people's homes posted in the Favorite Destinations forum would be sufficient enough to get the ball rolling. As a matter of fact I was planning on starting one myself once I had the time to take pics of my cute little skybox (life's been rather hectic lately... lol). Maybe someone can beat me to it. ...Dres Great idea and was sort of what I was thinking of - but couldn't quite get it :matte-motes-sunglasses-3:

Eileen Fellstein wrote:<snipped (again)> I encourage anyone to consider giving a home to a real animal rather than a virtual one if your choice is one or the other. They will love you forever. Still...these meeroos are making me want to punch my screen, lol KK - I believe you... ... and I agree with you. I think SL animals can add atmosphere to a place but I have a wee bit of a problem 'getting' the breedable thing I guess.

Eileen Fellstein wrote:<snipped> *disclaimer: The above was meant in jest. IRL I'm an avid animal lover and have fostered pets in my home as well as done vuolunteer work with homeless animals. Prove it :smileytongue:

I have had a few such moments in my SL - though sadly not lately. I remember when escort clubs (like your Las Princesas) were not wholly about sex but about making friends and being in good company - that was before voice and cam made it all a bit too 'real'. :smileysad: Some of my best SL times were the spontaneous 'group' moments when things happened just like you described and became something out of the ordinary. There have also been more 'private' (not that - filthy mind) when something almost mundane was lifted to become special by the the people involved allowing a bit more of themselves to shine through than the pretty avatar. Actually I can't describe it at all - but you pretty much nailed it. Of course we will be mocked by those who insist that SL is but a game and everyone in it is RPing and as such - nothing is real. They have no idea what they are missing :smileyhappy:

Without terraformers, texture creators, scripters, builders, furniture makers, scupt makers, Second Life would be a flat and boring grid .We should appreciate and respect the people who make Second Life a place that is functional, full of beauty, full of fun and a place that is unique to any other virtual platform. We have a fashion forum which is great, without fashion designers we wouldnt be able to express ourselves through our avatars. Our homes are another extension of our virtual expression. It would be great to have a place in the Community Forum to show appreciation to the builders of Second Life. So in that case maybe the 'Building' sub forum would be the place - like the fashion sub forum covers everything not ust the 'creative problem aspects' of fashion. Erm - I know what I mean :smileyindifferent:

At the risk of sounding like a cranky old git ... wait I AM a cranky old git... Right, so then - I'm not sure Home & Garden needs a whole forum sub topic to itself - rather an occasional thread blooming up somewhere appropriate - IMO a whole forum would become boring and over populated with people possibly showing their 'wares for sale' (as Void kinda said). Maybe LL should create another 'Vanity - avatar, fashion & Home & Garden ' Forum (not not that precise name) where people who love such pictorial type threads could have a right good time. Just a sort of compromise suggestion. This is addressed to the OP but for some reason the software won't let me do that properly.
