You guys are the cure for the Blues!

As soon as I got home on Tuesday night I learned of an emergency Friendly Fire show at Cat's Club that had just started, so I rushed right over. Dee and Isobela were there and had things well in hand, but Isobela had her own show scheduled to start as Mac and Case were ending so I took over for her. Things were Rocktastic; I hadn't officered a Friendly Fire show away from the GlamShack or Echo Echo for ages and it was cool seeing so many new people.

There was a slight problem, though; I couldn't seem to get Mack's poofer to work. I kept feeling all around for it but couldn't find it. I checked mine and it wouldn't work either, and I knew right where it was! I figured that it must be sunspots causing all of our poofers to fail at the same time.

DJ Isobela was playing at the Savoy with Borealis hosting. It was SRV night, not a specific album but more like Isobela's favorites. It was awesome music! The Savoy was still done up for Halloween so we went in costume, it'll take a good dry-cleaner to get all of that makeup stain off of my jacket.

We had spent the afternoon getting our costumes ready for the show. She had a great turnout and even better music. DJ Isobela got all choked up at what a great time all the great people were having, and it was a really great time; she said "You guys are the cure for the Blues!"

The GlamShack became the SilkShack on Wednesday night as DJ Isobela Rocked us out! It was a wear your silks or come as you are event; no costume required but the sumptuous, shimmering silks were a sight to see. The music were was Rock instead of Blues but was just as amazing; I sure hope she saved her playlist. It was the best Wednesday night that I can remember. DJ King and mikki were before us and DJ Donagh and merry spun next so it was a night of glamtastic Rock and Roll!

Thursday night/Friday eve found DJ Crighton and Kimala at the GlamShack, out on the beach. I am worried about Mack and Case, they were looking very pale; hope they will be able to make their Friday show! DJ Crighton drew quite a large crowd, many of the usual crew plus many that I don't see too often and many I hadn't had the pleasure of meeting yet. Hmmm, I wonder if DJ Hy isn't able to play one Friday night, God forbid, but if not maybe we could get DJ Crighton and Kimala to do a show. It would be cool to see all of those friendly new faces on a Friday night!

Canogaling

This morning I was lucky enough to be able to catch DJ Isobela's Fantabulous Monday Blues show at the World Music Club in Wanderlust. She was as super-groovy as always; mikki and Aeryn showed up too and we all bad-mouthed DJ Crighton. I tied for first in the Come As You Are costume contest; host With broke the contest board broke again and the owner had to count the votes manually.

After the show we played On A Roll at the store. They have new tables with more comfortable chairs, even some 2-player chairs. There is also a new game called Canoga that we tried; after a practice game Isobela soundly defeated me 3 games in a row. It plays much faster than GreedyGreedy, but I don't think I like it as much. We also took a shot at playing Khet but neither of us liked it too much, even though it does have cool laser destruction of pieces.


Back at Tidings we terraformed a bit more. We had gotten rid of the giant rock amphitheater and raised the dance floor to make a, ah, basement; for, um, storing the lawnmower and such. Yeah, that's it. Plus we moved a bunch of trees around; it looks alot better than it used to.

DJ Ando and hostess AuroraDawn were at the GlamShack later. The music was a little heavier than I am used to, but was real good as an occasional thing. Ultra-DJ Case and Ajay performed next. Their music theme was whatever Case wants to listen to. Ajay had everybody crank-call poor Rosi when it was the middle of the night where she was. curm and Case and Synapse were feeding off of each other's wild imaginations had us in stitches all night.

We went shopping for Halloween costumes and found some real good stuff. Isobela got lucky too! Right there on a lucky chair, in front of a whole crowd of people! After a couple games of On A Roll at Hy and Tracy’s place where the dice weren't being very nice to Isobela we went dancing in a rainforest to top off the night. We are so lucky.

Rocktoberfest!

Sunday was Rocking Rocktoberfest at the GOAT! I got there early to help set up; took down the slide and set out a "To The GOAT" sign right next to the front of the GlamShack. We all rocked out to Zaphod, DJ Borday, Anek, DJ CharlieB, Nanorock, Mason, Johnny99 and Skylord! It was quite an amazing day. Isobela and mikki and Promise and Dee and Rosi and Abbey and Meggie and even Portcia all did quite a fantastic job, along with everyone else I've forgotten.


Later we went to the Savoy Halloween Party, the Jazziest Halloween party in the metaverse! DJ Cat was doing an awesome job of mixing favorites of the season with amazing Jazz and rocking Blues. The place was decorated just great, very very spooky. They had even ripped up the dance floor so were were dancing on bare earth, on top of who knows whose bones!


After DJ Cat we went to play On A Roll at Hy's place; he and Mack cheat even worse than Isobela! We beat them anyway; 3-2 in the first game and 3-1 in the second. Mack said that she wanted Isobela to give her some On A Roll lessons the next day. Isobela is such a giver. Life is good.

LaReve - WOW!

On Thursday we went to FallenAngel Creations and rode their Roller Coaster. It was much faster than other roller coasters that I have been on, especially right out of the gate. They also have a cool maze up in a skybox there.

From there we played On A Roll and Isobela informed me that there was a Cheating Rat in my mirror. I won that game, and a game of GreedyGreedy. Rather than giving her a chance to get even I talked her into visiting the E8 Polytope model. They have all sorts of totally awesome geometric shapes and colors and such.


From the Polytope we were able to catch the last half of Mack and Case's show at Club Casa Blanco. Joce and Missy were there, I hadn't seen them at a Friendly Fire show in a while. Curm was there as well and curm was curm.

Kimala hosted the first annual "T & A Nite... Why skirt the issue?" show with DJ Crighton at the GlamShack later. Their Thursday night shows are getting quite a reputation. And a good one at that!

The Friday Slide into the Weekend party started with DJ Isobela the GlamShack, out on Bowie Beach actually. There was a very light turnout at first, but then Rosi showed up and started offering skedaddling lessons. That brought in a good crowd so that we were all ready for Friendly Fire at 6.

Mack and Case and their dedicated drummer continued along the slippery slope of the Slide in to the Weekend. The Friday Night Train Wreck was brought to us by Fairplay Designs and Arts and by Gestures By Mack; it was a stirring rendition of Beast of Burden. I had double poofer duty one again, and Mack kept jumping around on stage making it as hard as possible for me to poof her. She may have been jumping like that because a panda bear was trying to muscle-in on their gig!


DJ Hy's Naked/Nakey/Nakie/Nekkid Friday was missing it's longtime, charismatic hostess mikki. Meggie filled in for her as hostess, even though Hy insisted on calling her his host all night long. That boy needs new glasses. Brunette Brooke was there along with lots of newcomers, not many partook but we're working on them.

As usual things were best during the latter part of the show. Aeryn showed up to keep things light, and Meggie did a most excellent job filling in for mikki. That Meggie sure knows how to talk people out of their clothes!

Saturday morning confirmed my status as a cheating rat. We played guess what and I came back from being down 2 runs down. That evening we made it to AC and Emedea's Halloween party dressing fairly gothic. DJ Tali was spinning some awesome tunes and everyone had a great time. There was even a three-way tie for best costume!


When the party was over we went exploring at LaReve. I totally awesome place. Isobela's comments included "It's cool!" "This is so cool!" "Wow, this is cool!" "This is just very cool!" "This is amazing!". After seeing all they had to offer there we e called it an early night to get ready for the big day tomorrow.

ROCKTOBERFEST - Sunday, October 26th!

ROCKTOBERFEST this year is at the Glamnation Open Aire Theatre! The GOAT is a wonderful open venue to start any rock and roll tour! This year we are blessed with 2 DJs and 6 live acts each with a one-hour show. The first show starts at 10am and the last at 5pm SLT.

Zaphod Theas delivers a high-energy electric-guitar based rock show! He plays mostly original material, ranging from soulful to heavy, with roots in blues, folk, punk, indie & classic rock.

DJ Borday's sultry voice has been warming the airwaves in the Metaverse and Old Country and spins the best in classic and modern rock and blues.

Anek Fuks has been playing his electric guitar on the California beach and mainland curcuit for some 30 years now.

DJ CharlieB Hastings spins slick Rock antipodean-style!

Nanorock Tuqiri is a latin guitarist who plays Rock instrumental, Blues, Funk, Rock, Metal, etc.,playing some awsome covers using his own style, as well as their famous improvisations!

Mason Thorne plays mostly folk music but you might get lucky and hear something from this century as well.

Johnny99 Gumshoe jamz live electric blues and screaming rock guitar over bass and drum tracks making for an incredible live show with great sound!

Skylord Carnell plays Country, Rock, Blues, Jazz, POP, R&B, classical, novelty songs, it's all in there! even songs arranged just for the Metaverse!

The GOAT will definately be the place to be this Sunday! Woot! Special thanks to mikki and Isobela and all of the GOAT Goddesses for making this happen!

Vamp!

DJ Isobela's Hump-day Hijinxs at the GlamShack were as entertaining as ever. She had no specific theme, but the crowd seemed to take it upon themselves to get into the Halloween spirit. Eeyore had been turned into werewolf, Brooke was looking very witchy in long black hair, and even curm had turned into a vampire!

Blues for May

Tuesday night means Blues at the Savoy with DJ Isobela; West Coast Blues with a southern flair and a hint of Jazz. Tonight's music was just spectacular; as Borealis said Isobela outdid herself. She had been on a spending spree and had bought a bunch of new bluesy stuff for us. It was an absolutely fantastic night. Squiffy, Mort, Clovis, Brooke, Hy, mikki, Nic, Meggie, Lazy, John, theresa, Victorio, Borealis, Gossamer and even Koko was there.




DJ Isobela's show at the Savoy was dedicated to Grandma May, who recently passed. She drove a Camaro in her 80's; what a super-cool person. If only we could all be like her. We love you Grandma.

Terrific Tempura

I was helping Isobela work on the GOAT some this afternoon. Well, OK it was more like heckling, but anyway we were both there when the ground started shaking and trembling like an earthquake! After that plateau rising in North Bowie the day before we didn't know what was happening so we got out of there fast.

The seismic disturbances disrupted the DJ Ando and Aurora dawn show too; they weren't able to start until halfway through their scheduled show. In the meantime Isobela and I went to the 'store' to play On A Roll. The poor dear was having a bad night; I beat her 3-0. I won at the GreedyGreeedy tournament too; I won't say the score but we played the best 3 out of 5 without a need for the last game

From there we did a little exploring, heading first to nishi Beach. Isobela described the place as an "Acid trip nightmare!" I would tend to agree; it is a pretty neat place. I really liked the psychedelic dragon hovering offshore. They have a store in a skybox, but there was nothing that would really go with our home.


Tempura Island is a simply amazing place. It is billed as an area with all sorts of romantical stuff. There is a magnificent ballroom; trees and waterfalls and all sorts of neat nature stuff; bridges big and small and ponds and even dedicated tai-chi exercise area. Way cool.


Back home we worked on the house some more, hanging some more pictures ("Your other left!"), making plans for the courtyard and Isobela started working on a new fireplace for the back patio while I worked on my grill. It is a really awesome home. We are so blessed.

The Black Horse

We played On A Roll at the GlamShack while watching Saints (3-4) lose to Carolina. At least the game table was playing well, much better than usual but still nowhere near as well as it plays at the store. Isobela had a wardrobe malfunction in a major way while we were there, good thing we were at the GlamShack instead of the store!

I was upgraded to a "sexy bomb ass cheater". The dice hated both of us today, but her a little less. Later we did go to the store to play some GreedyGreedy and she beat me 3-0. By then we were a little tired of playing games so we decided to go demolish our house.

We re-did the landscaping and Isobela built a cool adobe hacienda on a plateau that had emerged from the water int he northeast corner of our lot. I built yet another pier for the Tester and then helped her arrange and re-arrange furniture. One gigantic concrete planter that held a full grown tree had to be moved at least a few dozen times.


After cleaning up we went country line-dancing at a place called the 'Black Horse' Saloon (no apparent relationship to the Armored Cavalry Regiment of the same name). We got all dressed up in our cowboy costumes and it turns out they were having a cheerleaders and football players theme night. I have a couple of nice cheerleader outfits but Isobela convinced me that it would be best to show that side of myself as it was our first time there.


Later it was back to the K.R. Engineering store for another game of On A Roll, and then another won; I was able to win both of these. To top off the night we went back home for a little more touch-up on the house; thankfully the concrete planter stayed where it was. It doesn't get any better than this.

Halloween Season has Officially Arrived!

Cheyenne had blogged about a Mah Jong table you can pick up for free, so I did! Isobela and I played a few games, it is single-player only but you can have a friend help you out. We each kept reaching for the same pieces and getting in each other's way and snapping at each other and having a blast.

Tuesday night at the Savoy was a blast as usual; it is my second-favorite night in the Metaverse! The DJ favored me with a dance or two. Joe and Port on Drums and Bass for a bit, then they went to dance and snog in the crowd. DJ Tight was there; Isobela described him as one of the best Blue's DJs in the Metaverse, right after DJ Isobela, DJ Cat and DJ Hy.

On Wednesday my friend Koko was on Tun Tavern (Forward) with Isobela. Jia stopped by to say hi; she and Koko seemed to get along really well. They were planning on coming to the GlamShack on Friday for our Boxers on Bowie Beach with DJ Isobela. Knowing Jia she'll probably hang around for Friendly Fire and TGINF as well.

Isobela and I played On A Roll during King's show at the GlamShack; Iso brought in a ringer to play for her and they together beat me 3-2! Right after that was the DJ Isobela Rocks your Hump-Day show. It was quite a fine performance, though we missed Friendly Fire at Haute Couture doing a Breast Cancer charity fundraiser. DJ Donnagh and merry followed with Don playing awesome music, stuff I hadn't heard before but liked.

You know that Halloween season has officially arrived when Mack and Case sing Monster Mash! Friendly Fire had their usual Thursday-night show at Club Casa Blanco and the joint was jumping. There were many new faces there, which is cool.

From there we went to the GlamShack to play On A Roll and enjoy DJ Crighton and Kimala's excellent show. Unfortunately Isobela broke the On A Roll table, but the show more than made up for it. Somehow a giant male member appeared in the Shack, it had to be 20 feet long! The girls were all up dancing on it and commenting on it and we were all laughing ourselves silly.

Friday saw us at Parker's Pub where Isobela was DJing. It was a very nice bluesy/light rock mix that she does so well, plus a few Celtic songs that encouraged everyone to get up and dance a jig!


We had a Boxers on Bowie Beach theme with DJ Isobela. It was boxer shorts, not prizefighters; I guess I'll have to be more specific in my notices in the future. Isobela and I wore matching boxers and Case was very jealous, he mentioned them a few times during the evening.

Friendly Fire followed on Bowie Beach with the dynamic duo still tearing up the Metaverse with their enthusiasm and talent. We heard the Monster Mash again and Jud stopped by and called us all "SILLY PEOPLE!!". There was a huge crowd that I was busy greeting, tagging and bagging while on double poofer duty. The Train Wreck was "Your Mama Don't Dance and Your Daddy Don't Rock and Roll", brought to us as always by Fairplay Designs and Arts and Gestures by Mack.

The DJ Hy and mikki show followed with Nakey Friday. As usual mikki jumped he gun a little, but absolutely no one was complaining! After the show had gotten started and people were partaking Sedona mentioned that her perv cam is requiring liquid cooling!

On Saturday morning Miyam invited me to come see the marketplace she was building with Adrian, Joce and a few other people, called the "Fjordsguilden Market". It specializes in medieval stuff and already has a few vendors set up and selling. They are doing a real good job with it, and will likely have a show with a DJ or two for their grand opening.

I worked more on my Flying Double Dance Disc. I had previously been calling it a dance pad, but mikki explained to me the errors of my ways; at least as far as disc vs. pad is concerned. I'm pretty much done with it; the Disc is done, the Vendor is ready and tested, I just need to polish the instruction sheet and find some places to put it out for sale.


Isobela and I went to the On A Roll store to play; the game at the Shack is just so slow and buggy. When we got there the On A Roll table was broken so we played a few rounds of GreedyGreedy which I won 3-2. A lady came by and fixed the On A Roll table while we were playing GreedyGreedy so we played that next. Isobela won the first two games, but I couldn't come back and win 3 out of 5 because another couple was waiting for the table so we let them play. And I am still a cheating rat's ass.

Saturday night was the DJ Jocelyn and Britt show at the GlamShack. The gigantic penis was gone; I guess no one had wanted to offend Joce's sensibilities. That was a shame because Isobela had gotten used to taking naps on it in the afternoon. Jocelyn had a pressing engagement right after the scheduled end of the show and she had to leave even though there were still plenty of people in the Shack. Britt stayed with us a while and we danced to the radio.

Before too long the siren's call of On A Roll got to us again so we headed back to the store to play. I was ble to win 2-0, to bring our daily total up to 2-2, but that second game was very close. We'll have to have a tiebreaker on Sunday. Hopefully I can get serenaded again by Isobela with "Ya Cheatin Rat Bastard!" sung to the tune of "Mary Had A Little Lamb"! Life is Good!

Woot! Wings!

With the holiday on Monday I was able to listen to DJ Isobela at the Wanderlust World Music Club on Electrum. We were dancing all sorts of dances instead of our usual one or two. I was in the running for the contest they had there, and had a 50/50 shot at winning, but the board malfunctioned right at the end. Oh well.

From there we went to Jacaranda where there had a DJ and a Best in Wings contest going on. It was pretty cool with everyone wearing wings and nothing else. There was another contest board malfunction, though this time I really didn't have too much of a chance of winning. They were talking about another event next Monday; unfortunately I'll probably be at work.

Later we went home and worked on jewelry-making projects that we both had been thinking of. They are turning out really well; we're talking about seeing if we can sell some of them. I'd also started looking into the mechanics of what I'll need to sell my Flying Double Dance Pads.

After dinner we went and played Greedy Greedy at store where they are sold. Isobela beat me three games to one! Next we played On A Roll there. The game played really fast in the store, you only had to click on Pass twice to pass instead of fifty times. This meant that Isobela could cheat at 10x speed!

I scored 3 Yahtzees in the second game, two of them in a row! Apparently this means that I am a cheating rat's ass. Even so, she still won that game, and won the series two games to one. We played one more game of Greedy Greedy which I won, so I was able to go away with a little bit of my pride intact. What a wonderful day.

Glam me a Shack! No, Really!

Friendly Fire played their usual Thursday night gig at Club Casa Blanco. It was the start of an incredibly busy weekend for me, what with the church and school fair I didn't arrive until about halfway through. Isobela was there dancing with Jazno, who was dancing like girl. He really needs to spring for some lessons.

Afterwards we started a game of On A Roll, but then quit so we could play against Mack and Promise. We kicked their butts 3-0, though Isobela carried most of our load. We played another game with just the two of us that I won 3-1, and then danced a bit to close down the GlamShack.

Though it was late we still had a bit of life left in us so we headed over to Mambo Extreme. They don't have as much shopping there as I remember, but have a great dance floor along the beach. We danced the night away, or at least what was left of it

Friday was the day the GlamShack was reduced to rubble by the giant space ants. It was very scary, almost everything was just gone. Isobela and Mack started a crash program to set it back up for the shows that evening and were able to get the bare bones set up for a beach show. All in all they did a very good job with the time that they had.

After working I was able to make the last little bit of Friendly Fire and was there for DJ Hy's show. My friend Cay was there with his pregnant wife. She's gotten a little self-conscious since she's been with baby, and he's been supporting her. Hopefully after the baby things will get back to normal. Isobela and I closed the place down, and amazingly didn't play OAR even once!

On Saturday morning before work I helped Isobela putting the GOAT back together. I had a little oopsie; I kinda accidentally nudged the GOAT stage and knocked it a few meter off kilter. Isobela was able to get it back without too much trouble, though. She just added the debt to the already long list that I owe her.

Sunday morning saw me at the Blarney Stone. As usual there was good conversation and good people. Tarogue was there, he had one of Ajay's "Cthulhu in '08" thingamabobs on. After while the crowd wandered over to the new Fibber's to listen to the "Professor"a decent singer/guitarist. I bopped along too and jammed out with them. Ginger was there hosting; hadn't seen her in quite a while.

The Saints (3-3) won 34-3 over the Raiders. It was a quite satisfactory whooping after last week's loss and yesterday's shellacking of the Tigers. We won't say who's home town the Raiders play for so as not to make Isobela feel bad. I had to work through the game, and missed watching it with her. When I got off of work we and played On A Roll,which is almost as good. She won 2 out of 3; 1-3, 3-2 and 1-3. Life is good.

Happy Anniversary Heath!

The Saints (2-3) were on Monday Night Football so guess what the On A Roll addict and I did while we watched the game. She was up 2-1 at one point, but I came back for the win. Unfortunately the Saints weren't able to do the same.

Tuesday night was Borealis' first time hosting for DJ Isobela at the Savoy. She played some really good music featuring The Nimmo Bros Live at Glasgow, Scotland; the overall theme of the show was UK Blues. mikki was there helping to train Borealis but the Savoy is a difficult place to learn to host; most people just want to slow dance and listen to music. Elisabeth had stopped by; Squiffy and Hy were on guitar and bass and Raven joined them on piano later.

I was able to catch the last half of the Friendly Fire show at Demonic on Wednesday. It was superb as usual. Demonic is actually a pretty cool place, not only because of all of the demons but it is also architecturally interesting. I spent some of the show time looking around to see what ideas I cold borrow for our next rebuild(s).

After the show I talked with Isobela about searching for missing objects. She is convinced we have lots of hidden stuff scattered about our property. She is likely right, but I don't think the problem is as big as she seems to think it is. As soon as I get a chance though I'll need to go on a prim safari, because it is a problem.

We didn't go hunting right then because we had to get ready for her show at the GlamShack. DJ King and mikki had started their show an hour early, so they were ready for a break by the time that we showed up. The crowd was light, but our hump-day hijinxs were in full swing. All too soon it was time for DJ Donagh and AuroraDawn to take over. That horny Troll and Amanda had shown up, and Gussie stopped by too! Woot!


We changed into formals in the Shack and went straight to Topanga Canyon where Heath was doing a two year anniversary performance. The Canyon really isn't much as a venue, but apparently it was where Heath did his first show so it is special to all of us. We danced and chatted and had a simply marvelous time listening to his music.

mikki: Barefoot and poledancing, now that's a wedding!

I had a chance to work on a new project today, a sort of circular couch thing that goes in the water. It's kinda hard to explain, I'll post a pic if I ever come close to finishing it. We had seen something similar near the Kaiya Islands beach, but I am making numerous improvements to it. As usual getting the finished surfaces looking good will be the hardest part.

Before too long I had to get cleaned up for mikki and loVolt's wedding. They had a wonderful ceremony in a poppy field high in the sky. They recited their own vows to each other, and to us. I was very impressed with both of them; Isobela was too.


mikki had a permasmile, and it wasn't just from all of the pictures we took. DJ Cat played the reception, which oddly enough was clothed. We all had a great time; there were great songs, great dancing and great friends. Well, after Cay had to leave Dee and Meggie had a little disagreement over who was going to lead, but I think that was more for fun than anything else.


As the reception was winding down Hy and Tracy challenged us to a game of On A Roll. Of course we took them up on the offer, and of course they cheated. Tracy hit the "Owner mode" button so we couldn't get a decent roll to save our souls, but were able to score two runs to finish at 3-2 nonetheless.

After dinner we worked on building some more, me on my sea couch and Isobela on a couple of different projects. I was able to pretty much finish the sea couch, it turned out pretty good. The cushions could use a bit more work, but I don't think the results would justify the cost.


After getting cleaned up yet again (Wow! Twice in one day!) we headed over to Club Neptune in Angel Shark Shallows to hear Heath play. He was as peaceful, calming, therapeutic and rejuvenating as always. Life is good.

Longest Roll

Saturday morning we went and saw Hy's new house, or at least a full-scale model of it. I like it alot, but he said it was done in 'early mausoleum' style. I can kinda see that, but there is alot of work left to be done on it. There's lots of water, Isobela had been helping him fill all of the pools.

Later that day I went to the Boobie Ball in Winterfell at the Taure En Lor Ballroom. It is a fund raiser for breast cancer; their tag line said "Wear pink if you like, and you may dance topless if you dare, in honor of the breasts and lives we are working to save." Most of the ladies were in pink formal wear, there was a DJ present and it was a very nice party.

The afternoon heralded the Open Mic show at the GOAT. mikki, Dee and Isobela did their usual outstanding job of lining up talent and otherwise organizing the event. We heard AJ, Artel, Skylord, Mica and REALLY. While we were there a situation came up and Isobela took up the ob as hostess for DJ Arcadian, who played in the GlamShack immediately after Open Mic. Since she was working we didn't drag the On A Roll table into the shack and play while he was DJing, but we had an incredibly fun time nonetheless.

DJ Jocelyn and hostess Meggie followed Arc. Jocelyn got slimed by one of the ghosts inhabiting the shack this month, but she had done up an excellent playlist nonetheless. After so many hours at the GOAT and with Arc we were kinda burnt out from clubbing, so we slipped outside to the game table.

It turned out to be the longest 2-person game ever. Isobela kept distracted me with all sorts of talk about robots and such. We ended up closing down the GlamShack, and still kept playing. In the end she won 3-2, but the game could have been won by either of us for hours ahead of that. Another wonderful day.

A Super Slide!

Wednesday night DJ Isobela was spinning Classic Rock at the GlamShack, sandwiched between Dj King and mikki with a Cops and Robbers theme and DJ Don and merry with a Southern Rock beat. Squiffy was there trying out for the lead guitarist position in Friendly Fire, but then Mack changed her mind and decided that the position wasn't open after all.

Isobela worked on our new open-air grotto the next day while I messed around with a skeet shooting game that I had bought. I began practicing with it, and am starting to learn it's tricks. Isobela is very good at shotting stuff up so I'm a little concerned about playing it with her; she'll likely kick my butt and then tease me mercilessly about it.

Later we decided to go play On A Roll. I had been dominating the game throughout and was up by 2-0 when she gets 2 runs in a row, then a third a few play later to win! What luck! We played a second game so that I could try to regain a shred of my dignity; I was able to win that one 3-1. Of course this led to a tie-breaker in which I was able to squeak by 3-2 to win the tournament.

After that we went to Kaiya Islands for some exploring of their new areas, including their zoo. We found a good spot for dancing near the pool and danced and chatted through many songs. We relaxed in a hammock swing for a short bit, just to try it out, then called it a night.

Shocking swimwear and ravenous Rock was the order of the day on Friday as DJ Isobela took the GlamShack's Bowie Beach by storm! She's an excellent way to start the Friday Slide into the Weekend party. I had put a few of my flying double-dance pads out, people seemed to either love them or hate them, and the latter were a minority thank goodness. I'm still working on plans to sell them.

Friendly Fire continued the Bash on Bowie Beach when DJ Isobela was done. They had just gotten back from a standing-room only show at the Bushy Beard and were ready to Rock. The Friday Night Train Wreck was brought to us by Fairplay Designs and Arts as usual (they have their Halloween stock out now) and by Gestures By Mack; it was a stirring rendition of Crimson and Clover sung by Mack. Mack and Case also sang Pr0nography, which I hadn't heard in a while, but not I Love This Song.

mikki had started way early for Naked/Nekkid/Nakie/Nakey Friday, during DJ Isobela's show as a matter of fact. LexiMae didn't realize Friendly Fire played for nakey nights, but she joined right in! Jud stopped by and greeted us all with "Hello silly people." At 20:30 there were 20 people on the beach, none of them wearing anything but a smile! Life is good.

Happy Birthday Isobela!

Monday night was a GlamShack night. We listened to the DJ Ando and AuroraDawn show, the DJ Case and Ajay show, and then the DJ Zak and Promise show. Extraordinary show people all. While there we sat an chatted in our chairs for a long time, then went and played On A Roll where I barely beat Isobela by the skin of my teeth 3-0.

Later we went on another building spree. I took out the Romanesque bath and built up the ground to form a small earthen amphitheater to compliment Isobela's larger rock one. She put a nice waterfall at one end of it that makes a nice pool in the middle. We may be able to fit her mermaid statue in there as well.

Tuesday was Isobela's Birthday. She had said she didn't want a party, so as much as she deserved one we had a mostly quiet evening. I had bought a nice pair of boots for her, one of the fancy kind with alligator skin that can change color on command. Of course, being Isobela, she immediately made them black.


After putting on the boots and admiring them at length we went cruising the metaverse. We ended up in a place called Therapy. It wasn't the Club Therapy that we used to enjoy so much but rather a cool, lightly wooded island. There were meandering paths through the trees, a walkway along cliffs that overlooking the sea and a neat cave with a dining room table in it. I went up a mountain that I saw a flag on top of; the island was claimed for Britain, and when I came back down Isobela had found this cool tree house with a balcony overlooking the sea. We watched the sunset then went in to the dance floor and danced and chatted for hours.

Eventually the siren's call of On A Roll got to us both so we headed back to the GlamShack. DJ Cat was playing but we were moistly concentrating on the game. Cat had set up a couple of skydiving platforms for people to use and they seemed to be having fun with it.

We caught some snippets of conversation over the music and they seemed to be saying that there was some naked skydiving going on! Isobela immediately started moving the game table closer to them so she could watch; it was very hard to put down a chip when the table kept jerking over 3 feet at a time. When we got around front of the GlamShack they were still talking nakey but I didn't see any flapping body parts. False alarm.

It had gotten very late so we agreed to a quick game of On A Roll; the first person to score would win. Isobela's all defense all the time strategy paid off for her this time; in blocking a possible run of mine she happened to get 5 in a row and win the game. All in all a wonderful day. Many more, babe.

Sidewindah!

DJ Isobela led our Friday Slide into the Weekend party at the GlamShack as usual. There was a country singer there before her show, one of the people from a previous Open Mic event. Since he had set up out front we kept things rolling there and had a Swimsuit Party on Bowie Beach. The crowds for her shows just keep getting better and better; I wonder if the pizza and beer we had out made a difference? We had ordered Pepperoni - Isobela's Favorite!

Friendly Fire had a magnificent Friday Slide show. Case said that in the spirit of the Friday Slide that he would not be debating Mack, putting the GlamShack before Politics. What a man! The Train Wreck was dedicated to Isobela, Stevie Ray Vaughan's Living Life by the Drop. It was brought to us, as usual, by Fairplay Designs and Arts and Gestures by Mack.


DJ Hy completed Friday's ruling triumvirate with his Nakey Friday show. The crowds keep getting better and better for this show even though we do lose some shy ones immediately after Mack and Case finish. That's too bad for them, though; we have such a great time every Friday night. Towards the end there were 12 people with 4 thongs among them; well, ok, 3 thongs and what looked like Sponge-Bob Square-Pants boxers one Someone!

The night ended on a sad note however, Mack's boat caught fire! She apparently docked it too close to the campfire and a flying spark must have gotten to all the alcohol she keeps in there. There was nothing lift but a pile of ashes on the sand.


Bright and early Saturday morning I realized that I needed to find out who Mack's insurance agent is; they had delivered a replacement boat for her already! It looked exactly the same! Now that is service.

Isobela and I spent much of the day working on Elfie Island. The giant caves just weren't doing it for us so we got rid of them and built a cool rock amphitheater. I also set out a Romanesque bath, but I'm not sure it goes with the overall decor. It's still very much a work in progress.

We got cleaned up and headed over to the GOAT for Open Mic night. It really was in the afternoon, but Open Mic afternoon just doesn't roll off of the tongue. There was a very talented crowd, more so that I am used to seeing. There were some technical difficulties, both with GOAT equipment and that of the artists, but overall it was a very nice time.

It was AJ's first time at the GOAT. He was especially glad to see the outhouse there; he mentioned that he's had to use the can for over a year. We also had a special visit by Sidewinder Linden! Isobela said it's the second time that she's seen a Linden at the GOAT. Mikki thought Sidewinder was coming after her for over-spamming group notices and IMs, a logical assumption, but not this time.


DJ Arcadian played in the GlamShack after we were finished at the GOAT. Isobela, mikki and I creamed Hy, Tracy and Mack at On A Roll; we had moved the game table inside for Arc's show and that worked well. DJ Jocelyn was up after DJ Arc so we danced to her tunes for a bit, she had a couple of new ones that were a gas.

Before too long Isobela had to leave for work so I followed her to FreeStar Bay where she was officering for Friendly Fire. It was one of the half-hour gigs that FreeStar often puts on with one performer after another playing to a tightly-packed throng. I'm always amazed at how much music Mack and Case can pack in to half an hour!

Someone had moved the On A Roll table back outside the GlamShack so Isobela and I sat down for a quick game. With lots of people the games tend to take very long, but with two people they are usually quick. Usually. This one turned in to a marathon game; Mack and Hy were waiting for us to finish so they could play but we just kept going and going. I finally won 3-1, but it was actually much closer than that. Each side was one roll away from winning for much of the game.

Sunday morning saw a GlamShack partners meeting. I sure wish they wouldn't schedule them during Saints (2-2) games, but they did ask first so it's my own fault. We met in our rock amphitheater even though it was far from finished. Isobela set out some chairs and I drug over a table for the leftover pizza from Friday night. Plus of course a keg. We talked about all sorts of things; I think Case is noticing beer missing from his private stock in the GlamShack cellars so I'll have to back off my nightly raids for a while.


We left from the meeting and went straight to DJ Isobela's gig at Burning Life! The Fantabulous one rocked the playa at Munchies for Ice Cream Sunday! Blissie was passing out Divinity French Vanilla with Hot Fudge sundaes; they go very well with beer! I was kind of an impromptu host and tried to dress the part for Burning Life. BigD had on a lovely long blue formal dress but I was not nearly as well covered.

There was a singer up ahead of DJ Isobela, and Friendly Fire played after her. The Playa was packed but it seems that there's always room for one or two more Glam Rockers wherever they play. We had a stupendous time, but it left me with some rather unusual tan lines. Well worth it, though.

Later we went shopping for some jeans then played On A Roll. I won the first game 3-1 and then lost the second one 2-3! It was the first solo win ever for Isobela! I am so proud of her, even though she got very lucky with THREE yahtzees and cheated blatantly. She marked this day on her calendar with very big stars.

When she was done celebrating she worked on capital improvements to the GlamShack while I worked on a new dance gadget. It turned out pretty good; Isobela, mikki and Mack all helped me test it out. They say I should market it, and I probably should, but that will be a major pain. Still, the extra money would be nice. I'll need to do some more testing with various dances and make sure I set permissions correctly, but that shouldn't be hard just time-consuming.

The next question is when to have it's first public showing. It would be perfect for Friday nights, but then again it would be perfect for almost any night at the GlamShack. I'll probably try and hold off until Wednesday night but ya never know. In this wild and wacky world we live in surprise is a daily blessing.

Rolling On

We played On A Roll this afternoon on the GlamShack docks. I started off the game with a yahtzee, and had gotten another one during the game, but even so it was a close, hard-fought match. I ended up winning three to one.

While we were playing DJ Crighton's show had started. There wasn't much of a crowd at first so we (I) moved the On A Roll game table inside. This immediately attracted a crowd. Mack came over and sat down in my seat, so once I had the table aligned I hit the reset button and popped her up and sat down there myself.

Case didn't want to make a fourth with us, and Elysian couldn't stay long, but Promise showed up and immediately was game. It was Isobela and Promise against Mack and I. This game started slower, I didn't get a yahtzee until midway through. Mack is a killer On A Roll player, and even though our opponents were no slouches themselves we were able to run the table three to naught.


Afterwards Isobela and I were able to get some dancing in. DJ Crighton's show finished so he turned the radio on for us before he left. We closed the GlamShack down, dancing and talking and looking forward to what the next evening might bring.

Schoolgirls and their poor Teachers

It was Schoolgirls and Teachers theme night at the GlamShack with DJ Isobela. Oddly enough, no one was checking IDs; pretty slip-shod management if you ask me. Some of those girls seemed very young and they were running amok! Kissing all the posters on the walls, grinding against them, and all sorts of things. DJ King, who played before Isobela, didn't have a theme; and neither did DJ Donagh who played after. Wise men.

My friend Fetzer, whom I met through Case, was there and rocking out. Word is that he will be DJing at the GlamShack sometime soon. That would be pretty cool; we're always looking for bright new talent. That's why we have the GOAT Goddesses running Open Mic Night on Saturdays.

I heard some people complaining the other day, I'm not sure if they were serious or not, about the number of group notices that go out to the GlamShack group. I got to thinking about it and decided that the reason there is so many notices is that we do so many shows. Three back-to-back on Wednesday and again on Friday. Oh yeah, I like Fridays. It's Friday Eve today. Life is good.

Slow at the Savoy

I couldn't make it to the Savoy for the start of DJ Isobela's show but Borealis kept her company, what a gentleman. When I arrived I played my Saxaphone for just a few minutes, joining Melon on bass and His Hyness on piano. Borealis called me down to take his place so then I danced with Isobela, slow, for the rest of the evening. Life is good.

Congratulations AC and Emedea!

AC and Emedea were wed today at Boston Light Lighthouse in a beautiful ceremony. It was a standing-room only crowd, though Isobela and I were able to get the last two seats in the back row on the groom's side. There was a reception afterwards at Pinky's Cherry Pie Palace, a quite good place despite the name. Gwen was impromptu DJ, her first time DJing a wedding, and did quite a good job.


Other than that we were busy excavating caves and guiding spring water into cascading waterfalls. I also build a small, cobblestone dance floor. We're still in the early stages of work, but I think it's gonna be cool. Another wonderful day.

Note to Self

When taking down the slide at the GlamShack for repairs be sure to also take down the "TP To Top Of Slide" sign. An ounce of prevention, etc.

Rejuvenation

We had the very first game day at the GlamShack. Mack had become addicted to On A Roll so she had the idea to have that game, plus Greedy Greedy and SLopoly out on the grounds of the Shack on a Sunday afternoon for everyone to play. It drew a decent sized crowd though they all crowded around the On A Roll table.

The first game we ended up having all 8 seats filled. Isobela and I played on one team and got our butts kicked. The dice just didn't roll our way; the other team had two runs and were one roll away from a third in a couple of places before we made our first one. The game lasted over two and a half hours; eight-person games take longer than others but that was exceptional.


Most everyone was worn out by then and headed out, but Isobela and I stayed to play Greedy Greedy with Don and mikki. It was much more fast-paced and fun. Don and I were taking the lead from each other, back and forth the whole game, but he was the first to reach 10,000 points. The rest of us had one more turn to try and beat his score, but none of us did. It was a very good game.

Later on we decided to level Elfie Island and bring in some mountains. The idea was to dig all sorts of tunnels and caves throughout the mountains to replace the dance pavilion and other areas. Since the aquifier is close to the surface in Bowie we expect to have a number of waterfalls, both on the outside of the mountains and in the caves.

We stopped our terraforming work, got cleaned up and dressed up and headed over to Angel Shark Shallows at 7 to listen to Heath. It was his regular Sunday show at Club Neptune, his first regular show since losing power to Ike for over a week. His solo and instrumental-backed piano is simply amazing. Rejuvenating of mind, body, spirit and soul. Life is grand.

Congratulations Borealis and Gossamer!

Ajay had sent out word that a Friendly Fire show was scheduled at the last minute, and asked for any officers that could make it to help out. Friendly Fire officers being the great group that they are, just about everyone showed up! "If anyone would like a Friendly Fire group invite or Swag bag please IM Isobela or Dee or Promise or Rosinante or Ajay or I!" Dee got so excited she started having Multiple Hoogasms! I had double-poofer duty despite all of the other officers being there; but hey that's my job. It had been way too long since I had heard I love This Song.

The occasion was a chance for Mack and Case to play Fluffy Friday at Club CasaBlanco! It looks like that may become a regular gig; they are excellent Fluffers! We were treated to a very good show, but Mack had one slight problem. I hate to dwell on negatives, but she gave strict instructions that "So from now on, a bonehead move will be called 'pulling a Mack'," and I felt it important to pass on that requirement.

Soon after getting back from Fluffy's it was time to head over to the GlamShack to prepare for the night's festivities. DJ Isobela was presenting Bikinis and Boots on Bowie Beach! Bikini tops were optional for the guys; in fact, I don't recall seeing even one. She had an excellent playlist prepared, and did an excelent job of getting the crowd warmed up for Friendly Fire.

Case sang his pink thong song, that is always a hit. I was also ably to enjoy I love This Song for the second time in a day! The Train Wreck song was Why Don't We Do It In The Road; dedicated, for some odd reason, to Isobela. As usual the Train Wreck was sponsored by Fairplay Design and Arts and by Gestures by Mack. How two such reputable firms became associated with this practice is a mystery to us all.

DJ Hy and hostess mikki put on their usual fantastic Nakey Friday show. Be proud of your pixels! We rocked the night away to a slightly larger and more open crowd than usual. Twenty-six people were there, for the most part wearing just smiles. The big news of the night was that Borealis and Gossamer decided to couple, to become partners! Woot! Best of wishes to the Lucky Couple!

On Saturday Isobela and I visited a Haunted Castle. They had a totally amazing maze in the basement, a werewolf lair in the upper turrets, and a cool gothic ballroom in between. There was no one else there, but it did look like a wild place for a party. There were a number of tables along one wall with no chairs around them; we couldn't decide if they were for dancing or serving body-part snack-trays!

Later we went exploring on Boojum Island. Isobela discovered a hidden underground lair; there was even a treasure chest with gold doubloons down there! The only exit was through am underwater tunnel that had a shark guarding the far end, but we were able to slip past him while his back was turned. On the far side of the pirate ship we tried some underwater fencing; of course I won the game 5 touches to 2. It was pretty fun, I'll have to see about getting it for the GlamShack.


Speaking of which, we went back and helped to arrange things for the game party tomorrow afternoon. We did some terraforming on Elfie Island and under the surrounding waters moved the dock and pulled the Tester over to it. Isobela planted some incredibly lovely trees there and at the GOAT, too. Hy fixed a problem that we had discovered with the gaming tables, but I'm still not completely satisfied. I'll have to try and catch him and Mack tomorrow which will be, as today, another wonderful day.

Congratulations Dee and Cay!

Angels and Demons was the theme at the GlamShack last night. DJ King and hostess mikki started us off with a truly fantastic show; they just keep getting better and better. King was a nightmare and mikki was, as usual, purely angelic. I arrived near the end of their show to learn that Dee and Cay had run off and gotten married! They were still all dressed up and everything! Congratulations you two!


DJ Isobela was up next and had gone through Heaven and Hell to put together a Fantabulous Hump-Day Angels and Demons show for us. It was interesting to see who thought that they have been naughty or nice. I was busy hosting so I didn't get a chance to get any rebuttals in.

Dee and Cay stayed there dancing all night. Most of the time they seemed to be whispering sweet nothings into each other's ears, but occasionally they would join in the group chat. Dee kept telling us how she was having Multiple Hoogasms! mikki teased Isobela about her angel costume, and curm appropriately gave me a hard time as well. Elysian had her GlamShack baptism in one of the large Champagne glasses. DJ Donagh and hostess merry followed DJ Isobela with some good, solid rock. Another wonderful ni

North Bowie Vulcanism!

We looked at some building tools on Monday; they were kinda expensive and we figured we could do just as well ourselves. Now I just need to search through my inventory for my SL4. In the meantime Isobela brought up a volcano from the sea floor near our house, it is spilling lava all over the place! I tried to help her with the smoke that is coming out of it. When the wind blows from the west the smoke goes all over our patio; I hope she is able to move it soon. It was very cool just lounging around on a raft all evening, building and scripting side by side.

DJ Isobela played her usual Fantabulous Tuesday gig at The Savoy! It was a relaxing evening of the best blues and even better dance partners. I pseudo-hosted, did most of the duties of a host but didn't wear my name tag. When working up the group notices Isobela instructed me to include the phrase "copious amounts of frosting and romance." I have no idea what this means; it will likely take months to figure out. The music sure was grand, though.

DJ Cat usually plays at the GlamShack during the same time slot, but she sent out notice that her show would be later so I sent some group chat letting people know they could make DJ Isobela's show at 6 and still make it to Cat's at 8, but it didn't seem like there were any takers. DJ Cat and her hostess had a bikini roller-skating party planned, how cool is that? I talked it over with Isobela and we figured we'd have our own copycat bikini roller-skating in a few months, after people will have forgotten whose idea it originally was. We will add a special twist, though. A dangerous one. You'll have to wait and see.

Happy Rez-Day Rosie!

The Burning Life is fast approaching; Isobela was invited to DJ a show at Munchies there. Friendly Fire, Cat and Tali will likely have events too. Isobela has kept going on about how the DJ thing is a lot of fun and she has a gas doing it; somehow she has gotten the crazy idea that it would be cool if we cold DJ together, both being on mic at the same time. I'm not too sure this is even technically feasible; VLB does something somewhat similar, but they may have specialized hardware to support it or something like that. I'm not too sure that I want to be a DJ anyway. Isobela is doing some research into it, so we'll see.

Saturday afternoon we went sailing in USS waters, which I believe stands for United Sailing Syndicate. It's a huge place dedicated to sailing and people who love the water. I was able to launch the Tester OK, but the waters were very rough; things kept crashing. So we chatted with another sailor for a while, then headed in.


Back home we tried out the AirBoat zipping around the Shack, but it was having troubles with rough waters, too. I guess it just wasn't the day for sailing. I went to see Hy and Tracy, but they weren't around. I like their home's new look, though.


On Sunday Gestures by our very own Mack celebrated it's One-Year Anniversary! They still have that Smiley-face griefing going on; I wish I knew who was in charge of Security at that place! Oh, wait; never mind. Mack and Case played a half-plugged show in the store, it was just like old times; Isobela and I closed the place down dancing, just like old times as well.


Isobela had won a prize from the Prize Robot who had made the trek all the way there from the GlamShack! He had to have walked underwater at some point; I'll have to run a full diagnostics suite and re-greasing on him when he gets back.

Later we played On a Roll with Mack and Promise at the GlamShack. It was Promise's first time playing, and Mack set a very bad example for her by cheating left and right. Mack got at least 3 Yahtzees! By her own admission! So of course they won, but it was good that Promise won on her first game. It is a very fun thing.

After our humiliating defeat Isobela and I took the AirBoat out to the USS waters and flew it around all over the place. We were out for over an hour; I hurt my hand from the vibration in the control stick rattling it around. We also stopped by this way cool Coast Guard station, but no one was home.


We also took the Seaplane Glider out for a bit; that hurt hand even more, but it was worth it. We blew blue smoke all over the place.


That evening the Metaverse's favorite glam rock politi-pop power punk showband is appeared at Nightclub Echo Echo, the Metaverse's Premier Rock Club! Mack and Case are brought us a high-energy, high-humor and high-fashion extravaganza! Well, maybe not that high of a fashion; as a matter of fact they both wore red shirts. We talked a little about making it a red shirt theme night, but I wasn't comfortable making a last minute change so we put off the planning until later. It would be cool to do theme nights or even contests at their regular gigs every once in a while.

I was able to love I LOVE THIS SONG for the second time that day; how awesome! I'm a little worried about Rosi though, she kept speaking in this falsetto, calling peoples names, mine especially; it's somewhat disconcerting. It's almost like I'm hearing voices again. She also said that she was going to stay away on Fridays; I just don't know what's wrong with her.

Sunday Night Mayhem and Madness featured the incomparable DJ Jocelyn with Hostess Britt. Hare showed up, been quite a while since I saw her; too long even. It was Rosie's Rez Day, she had gotten there too late for Mack & Case to sing to her. She had gotten me a wonderful bracelet for my birthday, I wear it often; I felt just awful I didn't get her anything and that I didn't even realize it was her Res Day until Joce announced it. I shall have to figure out how to rectify this.

After a bit of clubbing we played On a Roll with Melon and Kingofbeers. It was their first time playing, too. Despite my dead weight, Isobela was able to eek out a win for us. That is a cool game. We had a great weekend and are looking forward to an even better week. Life is good.

Happy Birthday Brooke and Congrats Brooke and Clovis, and Happy Rez-Day Ginger!

Mack had asked me to work on a script for her; I think she is more dangerous that Isobela with a script editor. I was able to do that, but the scripting job I was going to do for that jewelry shop fell through; the person who wanted a script made got it from a friend. It was fun researching for the script and creating the test piece of jewelry that I used, so it was fun.

Isobela and I visited that Lost Island that I had found; it was very cool. It had the best volcano I've ever seen , well besides Isobela's of course. We must have spent half an hour just looking at it. Later we went out to dinner at the Lost Ballroom. We had a hard time getting there, but it was worth the trouble.


After dinner we chatted over champagne for a bit and then went dancing. We even learned a new dance, SlowDance V8!


From there we went to John's beach housefor Brooke's birthday party. Brooke has always been good at helping us celebrate everyone else's special days, it was good to celebrate with her! DJ John played for a while, and Mack and Case were going to play, but I had to leave the party early; I had to get up for work in just a few hours. I'm sure they were great, and Brooke's bottom received it's just desserts!

The Friday Slide into the Weekend party started as usual with DJ Isobela rocking the GlamShack! She played a mixture of Classic Rock and Fantabulous Rock, my favorite! Friendly Fire played to a very large crowd, including Woke up in a thong! That is getting to be a Friday regular, plus they played I Love This Song! I had double poofer duty, but on fun and frolic Friday that really isn't a chore.

DJ Hy followed Mack and Case, his show was to be a Happy Rez-Day party for Ginger in addition to being Nakie Friday. Miki had made a delicious cake and decorated the Shack for her, but she had to work late. She eventually showed up and partied with us; it seemed to be a good de-stressing for her.

A usual on Nakie Fridays things started kinda slow; about six of us stripped down right off but many others needed a little time to get comfortable with it. There were others that showed up a little late and were throwing off pieces of clothes as they walked in! Towards the end there were many more naked people than not at the show.

There was lots of chat about Mikki and loVolt, Dee and Cay's recent partnerings, and how Isobela and I had just celebrated our one-year anniversary of meeting. There were lots of requests for lovey-dovey type songs, and all that romantical stuff must have gotten to Brooke and Clovis because they went and partnered right there at the Shack! Woot!

Anniversaries

Ajay browbeat me into starting this blog one year ago today. This is my 357th post; not quite one-a-day but close. Some days I found I had to push myself to post; I think I'll stop doing that. So while I may not be posting every day, I'll still be around. Today is also the first anniversary of Isobela and I meeting in Fibber's; according to her at least. To me it seems like several wonderful lifetimes.

DJ Isobela Wooed the Mer-Folk at the GlamShack today! I spent quite a long time looking for appropriate tattoos for the event, to no avail; but I was quite proud of my tail! DJ King and mikki had the show before Isobela, and DJ Donagh followed. We were honored to have Mermaid Princess Nephrodite there! The Prize Robot gave her some shoe gift certificates, so she said "Great! Now all I need is feet!"



I had hoped to see some seahorses there, but no one brought any; I may have to go looking in mer-folk stores myself. Tracy had a very cool, patriotic tail that she wore towards the end of the show. I don't think Hy has a tail; at least I didn't see one on him. curm either. Oh well. Life is good.

Aeryn: Heya Savoy Peeps!

I chatted with my friend Rexona about doing some programming work for her jewelry shop. It's a nice challenge, stuff that I haven't worked with before. If I can get it working well I might even get paid for it! Woot!

DJ Isobela played some smoking blues at the Savoy. Featured music was by Dave Specter and the Blue Birds. It kinda straddled the line between blues and jazz, simultaneously sophisticated and raunchy, just like a certain DJ. Her giggly hostess was Mikki, dressed to the nines wearing a fantastic top!

Borealis stopped by, Jud and Elisabeth too. We chatted a bit about her Cup of Goodness Coffee shop. Squiffy showed up and got on guitar, with Hy on bass and Mort on the piano. Louis Armstrong finished us all off. What a wonderful world.
