Jack Slade and The Underground

OMG. If you are a Gordon Lightfoot/Harry Chapin fan then this IS the man for you. I just found him in the Under Ground.

The UnderGround on Sunday night 35 + people
Jack Slade with a voice that is so smooth!

This was such a delight to find the talent that is still in SL. Jack doesn’t sing with backing tracks. He sings with a smooth even tone. From Bob Seger, Harry Chapin, Gordon Lightfoot, to Leonard Cohen. HAHA! I just found out his nickname is Jack Buttahh Slade. That is how smooth his voice is.

If you want a very mellow, easy to just close your eyes and lose yourself in then this man can do it. His playlist is hugeeeeeeeeee, He not only sings covers but has many originals as well. He takes requests and he delivers.

We were going there for 15 minutes and an hour later we are still dancing and listening. Then I knew I had to do this mini-blog. Look him up or contact his manager/wife ‘Miss Lou Slade’.

I shall be involved in an event in the future and plan to invite him to sing! Stay tuned for more information on that!!

Kite Co

Recently I met and started to work for Sim and Zaya Chrispson, as a marketing agent. Their umbrella company is Kite Co. Kite Co incorporates a few other businesses as do most umbrella companies.

In this case, the cart came before the horse. Sim started off with 6 Kinds of Wednesday, 6KW is the mainstay of Kite Co. With no inworld store, 6KW is strictly Market Place accessible. Sim started his KiteCo Corporation with this inexpensive but extremely well made full perm textures. If you are a builder and have never taken a look at what 6KW has to offer, you really need to take a look. Please review what you think of them.

Kitemart [K*M] – A Market Place department superstore that houses several product lines and brands owned and/or distributed by Kite Co. and its various divisions. They Include Lily’s Farm-aceuticals, [VBV] Venderful Beverage Vendors, !AF! Angry Ferret, and Slushy. Again no inworld store and is strictly available on the market place

The other companies are as follows.

** Mayday Aviation Lounge ^MAL^ This lounge/bar and its decor are centered around Airplane crashes!

There is an upper deck and a lower deck. This DJ session takes place on the upper deck. The RUNWAY PLANE CRASHES are every 10 minutes. A very unique event to experience.

Mayday proudly carries unique aviation-themed beer, wine, and cigars made by [VBV] Venderful Beverage Vendors. Belly up to the bar and watch, listen, dance, and just relax and have a great time. Drop a notecard and let us know what you think of Mayday.

Mayday Aviation Lounge ^MAL^ is a division of Kite Co.

Next we have The Shhh! Silent Movie Theatre. A simply wonderful step back in time. Open 24 hours for your viewing pleasure. A free Inworld silent movie theater experience that pays homage to amazing movies and performers from the silent movie era, including Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, and Buster Keaton. A fun trip into the fantasy of yesterday! Completely done in black and white. This brings back silent movies and is a wonderful place for a date night.

Then we have Kaleidoscope Eyes Breakfast Cafe. A Beatles themed cafe where you can listen to Beatles music, Experience that “hippie” side of yourself. It is quite amazing! Do you remember the old kaleidoscopes? Visiting this charming venue is like stepping back into the 60s. A free cafe featuring a breakfast buffet. It exclusively hosts Lily’s Farm-aceuticals brand Herbal Teas. It’s decor is based around the song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds’ by The Beatles.

Ok, well I have saved my personal favorite until last! RESET Retro Arcade. If you remember Mario Brothers, PacMan, Arcade games. OMG and not only are these cutouts life-size they are so realistic!!! I was, to be honest, STUNNED when I first saw them. All textures were made by Sim Chrispson. A free Inworld Arcade featuring playable 1980’s/1990’s game cabinets and decor.

  • Kite Co. is a proud corporate sponsor of 􀀆 Salem School Landschulheim

RANDELSHAM FOREST

Randelsham Forest is located in the Deep Woods on the Continent of Bellisseria

Randelsham Forest Community Welcome Center

The Moles are at it again!

Floating around
Still Floating

Upon the opening of the new community center in Randelsham Forest, there have been many viewers and ooohs and awwws. Including those from my self. When you teleport into Randalsham you land on the “landing pad” and walk up into the very airy and open Tree House that is now known as the community center for Bellisseria. The walls are open on 4 sides with extremely high ceilings. There are many places to just sit and commune if wanted or you can hop on a “bubble” and float around. If you go to the right you can walk down to another open-air continuance of the community center Tree House. (Obviously nested in the trees). If you go straight you can view the lake and beautiful countryside that is picture-perfect. If you go to the left you can walk out and grab a ride on the Bubble Machine and float on up to the top of the tree lines and jump on the Zip Line. From the top of the Zip Line, you can jump on one of 2 lines to go out to a tiny island or back down to past both of the centers.

The lower community center

This was at the bottom of the zip line

I didn’t just float around, I returned the next day and zipped down the zip line. I went walking through the woods, I bought a canoe so the next time I visited I could float across the lake to the mainland. (Bellisserian mainland that is.) You can go for a hike through the mountains up to the tracks at Randelsham Station.

You can wait for a ride while sitting on the “rails”.

Randalsham Forest is another beautiful addition to an already growing list of beautiful additions nestled in Bellisseria. With more to come I know. It’s a wonderful place to visit. I would say “BUT, I wouldn’t want to live there”. But I do live in Bellisseria. My have Linden Homes come a long way.

This is my first blog post in about 4 years (I think). I have so many things to blog about and have not had time to get them out there yet. That and I am learning how to play with “blocks”. I have been assured that it is pretty easy and I can promise my abilities to manipulate them will improve, with time. For now, though, I am going to sign off and hope to talk soon.

Sansar, Sustainability and Suspicion

A couple of unrelated articles about virtual worlds have caught my attention. One is by Cecilia D’Anastasio for Kotaku : Hands-On With Sansar, The New Second Life.

The second is regarding a greener future by Julia Rosen for Nature, International weekly journal of science : Sustainability: A greener culture.

Whereas the articles are unrelated, I’m going to link them because the latter article covers a subject that Sansar could help with.

First Cecilia D’Anastasio’s article for Kotaku, this as the headline suggests, takes a hands on look at Linden Lab’s Sansar and has some very positive commentary about the platform :

my favorite, an Egyptian tomb. In real-life, this tomb is only accessible with permission from Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities. The level of detail a Lidar-scanned image of it betrayed in Sansar was astounding.

Also impressive were Gholston’s facial movements as we toured around the world. Sansar is developing a new facial recognition software that contorts avatars’ mouths into shapes it knows people’s faces make when they pronounce certain sounds. It’s like vocaloid software, but it blends into the whole Sansar caprice of “immersion,” an empty buzzword that took on sudden meaning inside Sansar today.

This exemplifies how immersive Sansar and other Virtual World / Virtual Reality ventures will get. Whether this makes them more popular remains to be seen because beyond superb technology you will also need communities.
