'Twas the weekend before Halloween...

This morning we went shopping for stuff to wear at Parky's show; she was having a Breast Cancer fundraiser with a Fantabulous DJ. The theme was pajamas; I just wore my smiley-face boxers and a "Real Men Wear Pink" tee shirt. Isobela of course had to go shopping for new PJs, as well as curlers for her hair. A good look for Halloween....


After getting our costumes ready we had a chance to catch half of Charles Coleman’s show at Blissfully Nude Beach. That's the same "Beach" that Mack and Case played at a few weeks ago; great venue. Isobela had heard Charles before but I hadn't; he is very good.

We got to Parky's a little early to set up, pretty easy actually since it was for charity and all tips were going there. Blissie had the giant Breast Cancer fundraiser tip jar set up. Everyone except Parky thought it looked like a giant breast. DJ Isobela play a great mix of "songs that you used to sing along to", and we did! It was different than the usual Celtic/Blues fare she plays there, but I thought it grand.

From there we went to NightClub Echo Echo to check on Case, who was doing a solo show. Doing it quite well I might add. Mack had gone to the Dolphins game, and the silly girl had actually wagered against the Saints! My Saints ended up winning 46-34 after falling behind by three touchdowns in the first half; it was quite a game! Now I just need to find the LM to the "Official Saints Apparel" shop for Mack...

We listened to the first bit of Joce's show, then too off to get costumed up for the 3rd Annual Elvehjem Halloween Bash! It was at Club Neptune this year, a great venue for it. Hy was able to make the some of Heath's show before heading off to his gig at Hotlanta. Crap was there, and I saw Artiane, who's blog I have been a big fan of.


Heath played a fantastic set, not his usual but a special Halloween mix. Simply superb. It would be nice to get him back to the GlamShack, he seemed to have fun the last time he was there.


There was a costume contest too, and the winner was someone who looked like they were just a small cloud of a dozen or two miniature pumpkins! Very cool. They didn't announce it, but I'm sure Isobela must have come in second.


The show at Club Neptune was longer than usual, about an hour and a half. Afterwards Isobela and I drug our weary selves back to the GlamShack for a few games of OAR. I was able to eek out a 2-1 win. Another wonderful day.

Happy Anniversary to Us!

It's been one year since we did the deed. I'm looking forward to many, many more years. This will dissappoint curm, who is still hot on me, but he'll get over it. In this past year we've been through 3 full GlamShacks and a temporary one in a tent at FDA. She's always been there for me though, as I have been for her.





Back then I had said a few things that are as true today as they were then: "I looked at her name on my profile, then my name on hers, and back and forth about a million times. She has made me so incredibly happy." "In this life, I am now complete. I am ecstatic, overjoyed, and the luckiest man in the Metaverse!"

Congratulations Xyla and Biz!

Best wishes for the happy couple!

Oh Noes!

Case ended up having that operation!

Happy Rez-Day Tiny!

DJ Isobela's Wild Wednesday was better attended than it has been the past few weeks; it seems many places are having trouble drawing crowds these days. DJ King had missed his show the day before so had stopped by the Shack before Isobela's show to spin some tunes for a while so that may have helped.

Robin had stopped by with two friends of hers, Tiny and Gigimarie. Tiny, of course, was not tiny. They were celebrating tiny's 3rd Rez Day so Robin brought them by the Shack for a good time. Of course Tiny got his pick of tunes to play, and DJ Isobela spun them well.

Iso wore some slinky latex number and those incredible boots of hers; I had on a black thong, trench coat and chain-stomper boots. My attire drew many comments, things like "Where's your pants, dude?" It was quite the conversation starter.


TKid and Brooke and her legs showed up; shortly after Robin tried to convince us to switch to chaps. I did of course, and a few others. Gigi had a little clothing malfunction and fled, even though we all assured her that naked was OK in the Shack. She was back shortly and soon we were all giving Tiny his Rez-Day spankings.

Ivy showed up just as Isobela was spinning the last set; she was havign a bad day. It seems like the week for bad days. We help each other out and get through them; one by one. Life is good.

Here and There Pics

DJ Tycho

Well Isobela caught me at a weak moment and talked me in to DJing. In the wee hours of Saturday morning when there was no one else around we tested it out and I was able to stream, but doing voice was a challenge. When I woke up later that morning I went back and had Joe help me try and get the microphone thing working.

It worked, so he took off but then Isobela came by and brow-beat me into trying again so that she and Hy could critique me and give me helpful hints. I played a few songs, and we got things mostly straightened out; I'm still having software issues though.

Hy and Isobela must have liked what they heard because they started sending out notices and group IMs and pretty soon we had a half of a Shack's worth of people! I guess I played for them for a half an hour or so, and had a good time doing it! DJing sure is exhausting, though; at least the way I was doing it. It would probably be easier if I had the proper equipment.

I'm looking at ways to get myself set as a DJ. Right now I guess I could do it as a last-resort type of thing, but it might be fun to have my own regular show at the Shack someday. There's always something new in this wonderful world of ours. Life is good.

Cup of Goodness in Dublin!

Same great decor, same fantastic coffee, awesome new location! What a great idea to open in Dublin! After all of those late nights at Fibber's it's nice to have a place to relax and unwind. Elisabeth Rocks!

Surf's Up!

I found a new favorite surfing spot, Mystique Island! Woot!

DJ Isobela at Fibbers!

Dublin has finally come to it's senses and hired the Fantabulous One to do a weekly show, Wednesday afternoons. I took off from work to be with her for the very first one and it was a blast! Blues Linden even showed up and chatted with her, he even stayed for most of the show! The dublin people are a little slow in getting Isobela's picture up on the wall with all of the other DJs; I'll have to beat Ajay for that.



Later we went back to Thassa to check on the renovations. There was some changes near the watermill, and a new bridge was put in to get to the northern outcropping. A very cool place.

Happy Birthday Tracy!!!

DJ Isobela Rocked the GlamShack as we celebrated the umpty-ninth birthday of The Tracy! It was quite the blast; Tracy got a spank every time someone new entered the Shack! WooHoo!

An Arousing GlamShack Welcome!

DJ BusyBee stood in for DJ Isobela this week at the Friday Slide into the Weekend party at the GlamShack and did a simply Fantabulous job, even burdened with me as a host! We had a larger crowd than usual, likely there to see and hear this delightful new treat! DJ BusyBee has a busy schedule, but hopefully we will see her at the GlamShack again soon.

Mack and Case followed DJ BusyBee in their quest to tear up the Grid with their enthusiasm and talent. With the song from their upcoming album making their way onto the Friendly Fire playlist we have a delicious variance in their shows. We had an extra treat as Mack and Case stayed on after their show to DJ! According to Meggie, Hy had a case of the the dreaded attachus interruptus so the Dynamic Duo did a special Bakie Friday show! Apparently they had a new appliance that they wanted to test live and on the air; from all reports it was a big hit!

The rest of the weekend was a blur of building; Isobela is fashioning a new GOAT to be ready for the Summer session and I have been trying to help in my own small way. We did have a nice break in this small, beautifully-landscaped valley called Unintended Water. I stopped by Mikki's store as well; my picture doesn't do it justice but it is a very nice clothing boutique. Another cool place in our wondrous, ever-changing world.

Right Where It All Started!

It was a Fantabulous Carraig at 1pm SLT. From the rocky headland, DJ Isobela made a triumphant return to Fibber Magees - the home of Rock ‘n’ Roll in Dublin. Mash sang live before her to warm the crowd up. Riko was her hostess and did a fairly good job, almost up to GlamShack standards. There was a good crowd of Lads 'n' Lassies ending their day there, plus even more enjoying her on Dublin Radio! I had made a special effort to be there for this first regular show of hers there and had a simply marvelous time. DJ Isobela Rocks!

After the show she barely had time to beat me with an OAR and whip up an incredible new stage for the GOAT before it was time to head down to her show at the GlamShack! There's never a bad time for Rock and Roll, and this was a better time than most because DJ Isobela had taken the stream at the Shack and was making it sing for us! We all had a serious infusion of Fantabulousness and partied the night away. Life is good.

Glam Me A New Year!

What a wonderful and wacky year it was; what a wonderful and wacky year it will be! The New-Year's Eve Extravaganza at the GlamShack was a fitting tribute to the year in review. If my addled brain remembers correctly all of the amazing DJs that play at the GlamShack each week did a special half-hour presentation. We did miss some occasional artists though, such as the incredible DJ Ajay. The high-point for me was the Friendly-Fire show, a glamtastic echoing of all of their hit new songs that were released during the closing year. There were even three songs in a row from their upcoming album including "Happy Go Lucky" and "Candlelight" but not "Untitled song in G part 1 and 2".








I predict that at the end of this year I'll still be around, still be stuck (of course), and will be once again yammering about what a wonderful and wacky year it was and what a wonderful and wacky year it will be. I don't know about ya'll, but I'm going fishin.
