When I first went to the Lonely Yak Roadhouse in Piper Point I felt at home right away. There were people from my part of the corporeal world there, and we shared animated reminiscences of a local television legend from our childhood. But it was more than that: friendly, whimsical, fun loving, excellent music and excellent company. Then I spotted the poster in the corner for the Film Series and clicked to get the information note and read the quote shown above at the beginning of the note. Now I knew I had found kindred spirits.

Kaino Hotshot

It’s always a pleasure meeting new people in Second Life and finding out what they are all about. Recently, I caught up with SLE Spotlight Drawing Winner Kaino Hotspot, after a BSR/ SLE sponsored Chill Lounge party. Going in I had no clue what to ask but when we met up at his home. It was like walking up inside of MTV Cribs, except he wasn’t showing me all around pointing out his garage full of pimped out rides and walls of self portraits and awards. He was more the laid back type, the kind of SLebrity, you’d actually want to hang out with.

I tried to respect others time so I try to keep my interviews an hour, so I knew I didn’t have much time to think up questions so I just went with the flow of the conversation and here’s how it went down.

As an African-American woman in real life and in Second Life, I'm always interested in learning of people, events, and spaces in the metaverse where African Americans are acknowledged, celebrated, and given support.

Over a month ago, I was at a talk show on the grid where the discussion was on black models in Second Life. Specifically, the hosts were talking to the CEO of the Miss Essence of Ebony Competition, Latrelly Flux, the model VA community manager Kalyabreea Capelo, and Miss EoE 2011 Imani Enzo.

In real-life, as a doctoral student, I'm interested in the ways African American women find, create, and develop themselves in virtual spaces, so the discussion on race, gender, virtual worlds, community, and more fascinated me beyond belief.

It was that fascination that made me contact Flux so that I could sit down with her, talk to her, and learn more about EoE; it is an entity in Second Life that definitely deserves press.

Who is Cursa Charisma, you ask?

Well, he was the winner of an SLE Spotlight feature in a drawing at SLE’s Chill Lounge recently. I had a chance to congratulate him that night, but didn’t really get to know him or what he was all about until this interview. So I asked the same question.

It turns out Cursa has returned to this virtual world to continue on his mission of creating Topic Discussion Lectures at a place called, Nexus and educating others on the types of Role Play that can be found in Second Life.
