Once again it is time to celebrate the day Prudence was "born" in Second Life.  I admit, I am not feeling very celebratory this year.  The past year of my First Life has been so challenging, to say the least, that throwing a virtual party in SL feels more like a chore than a celebration. I no longer "live" in a region where an annual hurricane coincided with my RezDay.  While that was never a problem for me, it did limit my options for parties.  This year I have my own venue, The Lair, in Rosehaven, as well as a nice parcel next door.  I've considered hosting a party at The Lair, but I am leaning more toward a summer aquatic theme and have begun decorating my home parcel for a "swim" party. On Sunday, August 19, beginning at noon SLT, my friends are welcome to drop by to play in the water with me.    Mer and other aquatic avatars are encouraged, but not required. Swimwear should be appropriate for a moderate region.   I may pre...

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!

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."

Last week I had the pleasure of playing an electronic dance set for my friend, Gabrielle Riel, to celebrate her 12th RezDay in Second Life. I mixed the entire set using cue points in RadioDJ , and had a lot of fun doing so! If you missed Gabi's party, you can still listen to my set on Mixcloud.
