    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. The Lily Pad Lounge has closed | Your2ndPlace After 7 years and as of Monday, June 7, 2010 Drift Monde has closed the Lily Pad Lounge. 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. The Lily Pad Lounge has been an icon in the aid…

    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,…

    Steampunkaneers! Do you want to meet other Steampunkaneers??

    This new #SecondLife group forming looks like fun, although my own creations will be in development hell for a while before they qualify to be called “Steampunk.” The esthetic, to me, should have great attention to detail, whether prims, sculpties, or textures, AND there must be some element of retrofuturistic technology. From the looks of the group’s blog, SUCCEEDED. Are you a shop owner offering Steampunk items and finding it difficult to reach your target audience? Are you a Steampunk enthusiast trying to wade through all of SL to find that special item for your costume or your home? Are…

    Theatre | Tomorrow Is A Very Important Date

    Dhughan here, just fell down a rabbit hole in the best possible way. Don’t miss seeing seeing “Alice in WonderSLand” in Second Life, starting May 2!  Buy tickets here. Through a lucky chance, I was invited to watch a dress rehearsal of the Avatar Repertory Theater’s production of “Alice” by a friend, Miss Elegia Underwood (who played Alice tonight, but alternates in the role for most of the run). I’m so glad I had the experience; it was a memorable evening of theater, for all that it took place on my electronic-typing-viewglass-thingummy. That is to say, it was a fine…
