    Fireworks, Music, Good Pub Craic

Caoilte (pronounced “kwil-cha”) performing, with our hostess with the elfin mostest in the background.

    While Upgrading, Bumped Into A New Friend

    Ran across this entry at SL for Nowt about some nice free and low-cost items, and decided it was time I upgraded some things (like myself). Visited Beauty Avatar (modifiable “model” shape, and some very nice skins called “Selkis”), House of Curios (where I got high top sneakers, stilettos, and some new dress boots, all with multiple textures), and Fab Free. Ended up with this pretty skin from Fab Free, which MAY become my new favorite, as my old standby from Pixel Spa, Garnet, is a couple of years old. Pretty it up « SL for Nowt Then, head to…

    Lily Pad Lounge No More

    Dammit! The Lily Pad closed when I wasn’t looking. I’d been there a few times early in my Residency and always got a kick out of the frog decor.

Sunday was the last performances by Anaconda Carter and Starr Singer. Both ladies have been singing at the Lily Pad every other Sunday for years. 5 years for Starr and 3 years for Ana.

    Uh Ohs

    I haven’t been inworld much lately as I’ve been working on a web project – but this announcement after all the hoopla over the new viewer is no doubt causing a bit of a flap in the content-provider community. I’m a much more casual, social user, but even I can see that a 30% reduction in staff is… a bombshell. Hope to make it inworld this week, finally, now that my little project is finally done. Linden Lab Restructures to Generate Efficiencies and Support Investment in New Platforms — SAN FRANCISCO, June 9 /PRNewswire/ — As part of the restructuring,…

    Dear Wally, Wish You Were Here

    Crossposted from my typist’s blog, because it’s appropriate for the day I don’t care whether my RL and SL identities are linked it’s a hybrid post with images from both sides of the uncanny divide Dear Wally (nobody ever called you Edward except your dad, and the Army), A lot has happened since 1968. Your two daughters have grown up, and you’re a name on a smoothly polished, black granite wall in Washington DC . They’ve both struggled a bit (maybe because you were taken away from them far too soon) but seem to be fine now. You’re a grandfather,…
