    Nice. Not as good as 'boil my toes in turnip greens and fry me for a catfish'*, but nice.

    Storm's not-so-ecoFriendly Thread

    LWL is a Second Life group: Ladies Who Lunch. Its membership is open to all, even me (proof that the definition of 'lady' can be stretched as far as need be). There are no real meetings but we do seem to spend a lot of time going to music gigs. As to WTF Storm is doing with this thread and what the picture is supposed to mean—your guess is as good as mine. Since he's mentioned my name in his OP I assume he will eventually say what he's on about.

    Katt, my post had most to do with suggesting that an event like Hippie's could, should, and in my opinion did, transcend our personal problems with other people.

    I have since had time to talk inworld with the friend to whose (whom's? I'm busy right now; someone look it up and tell me later) post I was responding. Having done so I can't say I'd have felt any differently than she did. She has her feelings and it's not my place to try to change them. She has a right to make her own decisions, as do we all. I will probably still try to drag her to Hippie's party and since it's not even August (in my time zone) I have time.

    I am glad you were able to let your issues go. Or should I say let them be? I think maybe Charolotte needs to get back here with another Beatle vid.:smileyhappy:

    Yeah, BB was something else entirely. To be honest, I was too young to really appreciate him when I saw him. Since then I sort of mentally slap myself when I recall that—Pay attention! That's BB King!

    You have the groove going where it should go, Ceka. Don't stop.

    :-).

    I like that song too, but please don't ever give us no more Oprah nor Kenny niether, for that matter.

    Janis was in a smallish outdoor venue; had a bottle of Southern Comfort by her side on the stage, It was a Blues festival. I also saw some guy who called his guitar 'Lucille'. He wasn't half bad either ;-)

    Thanks, Ceka. That's twice in one thread someone's posted a link to a song that is my favorite for the group in question; 'Southern Cross' is by far my favorite Crosby, Stills, and Nash song. I of course like California Dreamin' too, but only because I live here. My fave of theirs is the first one I heard: "Monday, Monday". By the way I had a brief glimpse of them, too: I am sooo old.

    Before 'Crosby. Stills, and Nash', or 'Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young', was Buffalo Springfield. I have called him Neil Yawn in other places, but I've always loved this song.

    Happy Rez Day :-)

    Dresden, you might have psychic powers! That is my very favorite Janis song (I always change the lyric to 'a t-girl can be tough'). Naz tells me that it was originally done by someone else; I've yet to hear that version but I will at some point. By the way, I once saw Janis live; I'm that old.

    Finally. Someone who understands. Don't forget, Our Lady is still out there somewhere. We must be vigilant. We must be pure. We must make stuff up as we go along. I do hope that at long last, Marigold will don her fabled skin-tight latex superheroine costume. It's time to get serious.

    I hadn't thought of that but  you're probably  right. 'Course most of the audience had 'water ear' anyway, so maybe it didn't matter. As for bizarre, that was to some extent my point.

    Listening to the people who were there and who appeared to be just local people who came for a swim, it was an enchanting experience. And in fact in Second life we do that sort of thing all the time.

    Having lived about 10 miles from Bramley for almost 20 years when I was younger, I'd never realised that it was a place having any culture. Eee-by-gum, you live and learn.

    Oh aye ;-). Apparently the Baths are about to be closed, which seems a shame. I gathered the concert was at least partly in aid of gathering support to keep the place going.

    Driving into town this morning I heard a story on CBS about an unusual concert. A twenty-piece orchestra played on an artificial island in the center of a public indoor swimming pool at Bramley Baths, in Leeds. There was no seating for the audience; they were just swimming around as usual. Listening to audio and some of the comments from people who were there I was struck by what a Second Life-ish experience it was.

    I felt that someone should contact everyone who was there personally and explain that we do that sort of thing in Second Life ALL THE TIME. I know there are a lot of Brits here; get to it! And by the way if anyone has a link to a good video I'd love to see it; all I could find was this news article; it does have a vimeo but not an especially good one.

    Does anyone else have stories like this?

    Charolotte, where do you find this stuff? That is incredible! And incredibly funny. You forget sometimes how much brilliance and how much humor the people that inhabit this space have. Awesome.

    I did have a bit of a problem with one of the early scenes but I'm letting it ride;-).
