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!!
Recently I met and started to work for Sim and Zaya Chrispson, as a marketing agent. Their umbrella company isKite 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 with6 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.

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.

“Our Digital Selves” is scheduled for a full release on May 18th, I’m blogging about it a little early because I’m actually on holiday on a Mediterranean Island right now, hopefully enjoying some sun.
The man behind the documentary is Draxtor Despres, AKA Bernhard Drax. The documentary follows a research project supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation (Cultural Anthropology and Science, Technology, and Society). The project is supported by the University of California, Irvine; the University of Oregon; and the National Science Foundation.
The lead investigators are Tom Boellstorff, UC Irvine and Donna Z. Davis, University of Oregon. The research project has so far been going for three years, so it’s quite an in depth project.
To get some insight into what this project is about it’s definitely worth following the earlier link, but here’s some of the blurb :
This research will have implications for improving health care and social support for people with disabilities. But it also will use the insights of people with disabilities to better understand how new online technologies influence how we think about our bodies, how we think about social interaction, and how we think about the role of the internet in everyday life.
The documentary certainly captures the essence of this as we see people using technology to connect with others.
“Our Digital Selves : My Avatar is me” is a documentary produced with a large slice of work from Draxtor Despres, well known virtual world filmmaker and also known as Bernhard Drax.
The documentary follows Tom Boellstorff, UC Irvine and Donna Z. Davis, University of Oregon as they lead discussions regarding the connection between people with varied disabilities and their engagement with virtual worlds such as Second Life, High Fidelity and Sansar.
The documentary itself is part of a research project supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation (Cultural Anthropology and Science, Technology, and Society). The project is supported by the University of California, Irvine; the University of Oregon; and the National Science Foundation.
