Mardi Gras 2016

My pachyderm pal and I traveled to St. John yesterday for an all day festival celebrating Mardi Gras.  I made my debut performance at 2:00 pm SLT (Second Life Time is equivalent to Pacific Time), following the well-seasoned DJ, Cadence Carolina.

The Uptown St. John sim is the newest sim in the Riel Estates, managed by Gabrielle Riel.  Gabrielle creates some of the most beautiful sims in Second Life and while the St. John sim is still in development, it looked fantastic decorated for the Mardi Gras event. Gabrielle would be the first to tell you that she is assisted by many talented volunteers in the Riel Estates community, but she does put her heart and soul into her sim designs, and it shows.

All in all, it was a spectacular event complete with a parade of floats that never stopped moving, live performances by DJs throughout the day, and a fireworks display.

I would like to thank all of the attendees who came to hear me perform, and especially those who gifted me with Lindens!  My pachyderm pal gave out wearable souvenir balloons to all who donated, so please check your inventory to see which color balloon you received.

I was honored to participate in such a prestigious event, (especially for my debut), and I am thrilled that you enjoyed my selection of Balkan Beats and Gypsy Jazz!

June Howl

This month, the Howl's musical theme will be Industrial Goth and "Witch House" , especially for Her Highness, Princess Selena. Witch House is considered a micro-genre of electronic music. It is described as "occult-inspired, dark electro... influenced by infused hip-hop sounds, mashed up and screwed beats, random industrial sounds, and irregular noises." Read more at Beat https://beat.media/what-is-witch-house . The Howl events occur twice a day; first at noon SLT and again at 7:00 pm SLT, to accommodate our denizens in different time zones.  Both events are 90 minutes in length. Friday, June 29, from 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM and again 7:00 - 8:30 PM PDT and SLT, at The Lair, in Rosehaven (Second Life). Fantasy or Goth attire from any era is encouraged. When in doubt, wear Black!

July Howl for the Buck Moon

This month our Howl falls on the Full Moon which happens to be called the "Buck Moon".  Apparently, the month of July is when young deer develop their antlers.  Musically, I've got nothing for that theme... but some of my favorite antlered-folk are fond of Classical music so I'll present a set of Dark Ambient, Alternative and Classical music at The Lair in Rosehaven. The Howl events occur twice a day; first at noon SLT and again at 7:00 pm SLT, to accommodate our denizens in different time zones.  Both events are 90 minutes in length. Friday, July 27, from 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM and again 7:00 - 8:30 PM PDT and SLT, at The Lair, in Rosehaven (Second Life). Fantasy or Goth attire from any era is encouraged. When in doubt, wear Black!
