Do. Not. Want.

I have been having a lot more dreams lately, and last night I had a doozy of a nightmare. The kind that sticks to your insides like oatmeal, long after the sun has come up and long after the dream becomes to fuzzy to remember. I woke up weeping inconsolably. The bummer is? This dream started out sooo swank and fun, and then WHAM.

Therefore! I think I've got some inner demons to exorcise, and one way I plan to do that will be to spin tonight at Timeless Underground-. I need hard deep beats so it'll be mostly electronica with a darker edge, but it will also be whatever I feel like playing.  It's been quite a while since I took the reins of a stream, and I've been itching for a reason to do so. Come and join me if you like, the more the merrier.

don't forget to brush after you read this. . .

I have the sweetest sweetie EVER. Like seriously. I don't know how I got this lucky. I have to work today but he doesn't, so he decided to put on a little show I could listen to at work.

Here's the event description - stop by and keep him some company while he does a good deed!


Come on down to Timeless Underground for a very special show dedicated to the one and only Moxie Grumby! Moxie has the misfortune of being stuck in RL work on Christmas Eve, but we'll help her pass the time with a combination of techno, trance, hard rock, and just about anything else you can think of!

Everyone's welcome, so come on down to Timeless Underground--where the music never dies, but YOU could!     10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. SLT

I found an ace that I could keep.

You don't need to adjust your sets, that is the building fading away as we look on. We're closing Spotlight. We tried it on, it didn't fit, and so we are moving on. It was great fun, and lots of stress and work, and I know I learned a lot. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to work with the people we did.

Never fear, the good vibes that were here are alive and well at Timeless Underground, which is going strong. That's where you'll find us.

This is how RavKom rolls.

    I won't insult your intelligence by pretending that the following is not a plug, and therefore we can go ahead and avoid any shame. It's one I fully endorse. There's a really good opportunity on the table that people deserve to know about.

For the next couple of weeks, when you attend events at Timeless Underground, you may enter (for free) for a chance to win a free 512 plot on RavKom with the first month's tier paid by Ravenous Dingo. The winner will be announced on September 29, 2007.

Why is this cool? A few reasons.

Here's the deal, Ravenous Dingo did not take his marbles and go home when gambling was outlawed in SL, he decided to adapt and move on. His success depends on renting out RavKom in full, and I would like him to succeed because I would like Timeless Spotlight and Timeless Underground to succeed, located, as they are, on RavKom. If you've been to any of our events, you know that we are not after making tons of L, just enough to keep the good times going. My boss/friend/mentor Timeless is all about helping people succeed in their dreams, and I'd like to continue helping him to do that.

I live in my awesomely fantastic Mailbox on RavKom, and I love living there. It's a class 5 sim paired with Timeless and Jiminy's build which makes for an incredibly smooth running sim. There are already some very cool people living there, doing very cool things, but not so cool that they won't say hello or offer some advice if you happen to wander by. This is exactly the sort of neighborhood I've always wanted to live in IRL. Fun spontaneous things tend to happen there.

The rates are very reasonable from what I see, and Rav is a reliable person to do business with. He's also incredibly responsive to any issues the sim might have.

Hence, this is an exciting opportunity, I think especially for someone just starting out.

We have a heckuva weekend planned!
Tonight DJ Lain Messmer will be spinning and live mixing progressive/trance at Timeless Underground from 4-6 pm SLT.  He's back again Saturday from 1-3 pm SLT.
Sunday we'll have another comedienne,  Salamander Maroon,  doing her show live and using voice at Timeless Spotlight from 3-4 pm SLT. Directly following we'll have The Rane Man with his unpredictable but always fun Night Shift back at Timeless Underground.

hooo!

Not a rotten tomato in sight.

    Last night we had our first event at Timeless Spotlight. Comedienne Lauren Weyland performed live, using voice. I am just about certain that that is a first for Second Life. Regardless, it was a great time. We had a great (and huge) crowd, and Timeless did an awesome job of warming them up and setting up the mood. We'd set up a notecard with some sound gestures beforehand so folks played around with those. Also, for me anyway, it was a first being in a room with so many voice enabled avvies. It was not the cacophony I'd thought it might be. And, most importantly? The technology worked like it was supposed to.

And then of course Lauren. I knew she had some great material, and using voice she took off and ran with it. Handling hecklers and people talking back from the audience, she killed. I know I wasn't the only one actually LOLing, and that was damned cool. This is just the beginning for her.

Here's Lauren's blog , if you'd like to read her take on things or get to know more about her.

Tao Takashi took some amazing photos of the event, even if I am embarassingly ruthed in them.
