Around the World in 13 hours

Warm.  Raw.  Robust. These are all traits possessed by The Follow, a band that has a way of grasping emotions by the hand and leading them down a rock-and-roll path of melodies.

The Follow has a sound that aims to uplift and enlighten your musical experience with drums that are progressive and guitar riffs that are sweet and to the point.  Members of The Follow are Troy Rickersten - vocalist/guitarist, Amy Rickersten - vocalist/bassist, and drummer Mat Matlack.  The band has performed in an array of venues, including an appearance in Columbia, Missouri for the Rock for Kent event raising money for the singer's brother, Kent Rickertsen.  This event was in aid of his battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease).  Once again the band finds themselves preparing for The Follow's World Tour In A Day, which is a series of concerts in the virtual world of Second Life at 5 different venue locations and across various time zones (for a list of venues and teleport landmarks, see the bottom of this article for a link to the official tour website).

The Elders Summit 2012- Second life's Secret Society meets to discuss SL

There is a secret society in Second Life © that consists of a round table of elders. Some are disguised in younger skins or reincarnated into another avatar being.

Spotlight on IrishGent Resident, Owner of Irish Island Estates Lanai Jarrico Reporting...

What do you look for in the people you surround yourself with?

Whether in business or leisure, who you associate with can be a factor in your reputation and how far you will
go in life. This concept can apply to our Second Life existence as well.

I like to think that we grow and mold into who we are by who we associate with. We connect and network with others because of common interests and goals. I am all about
networking and creating relationships with likeminded individuals. Because I want to involve the community and provide a variety of news through the eyes of residents.

Through the years, I have met and worked with countless people that have come to the virtual world pursuing their dreams.

Often times the outcome is favorable and they become my friends and other times I felt like my sandcastle was constantly being kicked over by people with hidden agenda and motives. That type of negative energy can be detrimental to trying to accomplish goal.Ridding yourself of that type of energy and taking the time to understanding the virtual world culture is the best thing to do. That is why I choose to surrounding myself with positive and creative people

Please meet IrishGent Resident, Owner of Irish Island Estates a real world professional with a concept to apply what he knows to the Second Life community. In his short time in Second Life he has accomplished a lot and has formed relationships with many of the elite here
in Second Life.

MUSIC NEWS: Album Review - Ellie Goulding; Halcyon - Pippa Emmons Rexen Reporting...

RECOMMENDED LISTENING - Great music and fantastic lyrics. Ellie Goulding fans will be ecstatic! Anyone who appreciates good music should give this album a listen; it’s quite exceptional.

 

 

This is a long awaited return from Ellie Goulding; with soaring vocals, rich ambient music, almost ethereal at times but with quirky moments and frequent pulsing beats. A must buy for Ellie fans and anyone who enjoys a semi-chilled alternative sound. It almost fits within the electronic dance genre at times and there are a bunch of remixes lurking around too.
Ellie said she chose the title because, "Halcyon is like a bird that basically during the winter, it would lay its eggs by the sea and bring calm to the stormy waters and a lot of my songs on this record are about the ocean and water...".

Interview With a Vampire - Evelyn Rieko Reporting...

I was dancing in a ballroom with my friend Windwalker discussing the upcoming Halloween Holiday. I mentioned to him that I wanted to interview a vampire for the Second Life Enquirer. He told me he was a friend to a vampire clan and they were having a dance party that night. Of course we went...

The party was in the main hall of the clan's castle. Windwalker introduced me to the clan members and to the handsome King Of the Bella Morte Clan, King Jisper. I watched him, with his thick flowing dark hair and piercing blue eyes filled with intelligence and charm, being the perfect host.

I asked him for an interview and King Jisper agreed.

SLE Relaunch Party Update! - Annette Wilder Reporting from Wilder PR

If you missed it then you really missed something special. The SLE Relaunch Party was an amazing experience. The mood was right, the people who attended were all so happy to be there and be part of such an astronomical event. To tp in, walk the red carpet, and see a sea of people wearing all white was what it must feel like to attend a Puff Daddy all white event. It felt so good to see such a large turnout and I could not think of a better person who deserved that huge show of love from the public other than Lanai Jarrico. She has been in SL for many years and has done nothing but support Wilder PR and so many other businesses.

The Relaunch was a Great Success- Thank you for sharing this special event with us- Lanai Jarrico Reporting...

I want to start off my saying WOW WHAT A PARTY!

 It was truly a spectacular event. I must say as we reach each milestone, the parties get better. Everywhere I looked, everyone looked fabulous dressed like bright white stars speckling the dancefloor. When I had a moment to catch my breath and look around, I saw my friends. The energy that filled the venue could only be described as pure love for me and my creation. It was truly a moment where I felt, I have truly accomplished something, but it wasn’t for the help of each and everyone that has touched my life and been involved in SLE in some capacity. If it wasn’t for you, the reader, my team of dedicated professionals and most importantly people that I call my friends., this would not be possible.

Before my speech I was a hot mess behind the scenes, crying in IM to my SL therapist., because I worried my speech wouldn’t be perfect. I wasn’t sure what to say, but I knew I wanted to thank everyone on the SLE Team without forgetting anyone. There are so many that are a piece of the SLE puzzle, the speech would have been a lot longer.  I’m not a big fan of public speaking.  I prefer to spill my thoughts and emotion out in text.

I appreciate the advice to imagine everyone naked and wearing Johnnie Ireland’s classic ducky slippers. The combination worked. Thank you!

For those of you who missed the party and last night’s speech, here it is. xoxoxo

Drama - The Good The bad And The Necessary? Jaded Exonar Reporting....

 

 

Even the most recent of SL residents can’t escape the reality we label ‘drama’ – But what is it, and why is it there at all? Perhaps most importantly, can we really avoid it?

 

Second Life is saturated with this phenomenon of ‘drama’,and at times it seems impossible to avoid, even without any personal involvement at all! Confused? I used to be. I can remember very clearly bobbing through a welcome area as a noob, all dressed in my very best (and only) pink dotty dress, my hair tied neatly back into a pony tail, fresh pale skin blinding people in the sunlight. The virtual world was opening up before me, and there it was. BAM. A couple were shouting in Local Chat, and everyone around me slowly began taking sides. That was the moment I began to hobble swiftly and uncomfortably down the road I still try to walk today – The one that leads away from the problem. Has this always worked? In a word, no. But why?
