Relay For Life Car Show And Concert- Stacey Cardalines Reporting...


Do Some Good While Having Some Fun

If you need something of some worth to do this Sunday, why not come on down to the Relay For Life event at the SLCS Stadium? The show runs from 9 AM to 9 PM, SLT.

Among the activities today will be a car show, a cheerleader show, and a concert.

The concert will feature Libertybelle Lyric, a cancer survivor returning to the site where she last performed.

Here's the link to the stadium, and here is the schedule (times listed are SLT) of performers who are giving their time to a fine cause:

9-10 Bill473 Resident
10-11 Harmonia
11-12 Beamer Lowtide
12-1 Madmax Huet
1-2 Rocky Hillburton
2-3 Rock Doghouse
3-4 Libertybelle lyric
4-5 don cabassoun
5-6  Bat Masters
6-7 Definitive Rock Concerts
7-8 Bluemonk Rau
8-9 Dione Bingyl

I'll be there at some point, so that alone is worth the price of admission... which, sadly for me, is nothing at all.

Its Back Again - For the SIXTH Year! RE:Bid Me Bald



Bid Me Bald - The Relay Rockers Signature Fundraising event in support of the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life of Second Life, returns for a 6th year!   The event which pairs Relay Volunteers with a Barber Chair and a Pair of Scissors has been a mainstay event for the Rockers since 2007 and has been used by other teams across Relay For Life of Second Life.

In 2007 when Relay Rocker's co-founder Trader Whiplash was undergoing Chemotherapy for leukemia the Rockers offered to shave their heads in SL in support of him.  Instead the team decided to make it a fundraiser and to support and honor EVERY survivor who has borne the side effects of cancer treatments.  Volunteers make an appointment with the Rockers Barbershop and place a special kiosk out.  For each L$5000 raises they agree to go bald for 1 full day. Totals are rounded up and the average donation is about L$25,000.  


As always the first haircut of the season goes to Trader and he will be placing his kiosk out at Arinulta Beach 

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Arinultra%20Cay/182/26/24 )

This WednesdayMarch 20 and has an appointment for March 27th!

Please join the Rockers as we Celebrate survivorship and honor all survivors and participate in Bid Me Bald!

SPOTLIGHT ON KEVINMTHOMAS Carpool: A LIVE ACOUSTIC, ELECTRIC AND ORCHESTRAL ROCK MUSICIAN- Lanai Jarrico Reporting…




      Music is universal. It can be created in any languages in a variety of genres. It is an art form made up of sounds, pitches and melodies. Musicians combine their unique sounds with lyrics to express themselves and share their natural talent with others. Music has the power to set moods, bring back nostalgic memories and even plays important roles in many of our special occasions. From weddings, birthday parties and other gatherings, to singing along in your car to songs, spring cleaning at home or going to concerts with friends.  For music lovers around the world, there is something for everyone and it seems to be everywhere.
In Second Life, music has evolved into a global phenomenon because it allows musicians from all over the world to perform in front of a global community. They are able to interact with their fans in a more intimate way and receive instant feedback, do requests and get tips for their performances.
KevinMThomas Carpool is a real musician originally from Pennsylvania but now resides in Washington DC.  He brings his unique voice and guitar skills into Second Life©, performing original music with a combination of covers from his favorite artists. With his years of experience in the virtual world, Kevin has rocked out at countless venues across the grid and continues to build his fan base, since 2007.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day- Interview with a Leprechaun- Lanai Jarrico Reporting…



St Patrick’s Day is observed on March 17th, known as an Irish holiday celebrated for the past 1,000 years. It occurs during the Christian holiday of Lent.  Lenten observers are prohibited from eating meat during this time and the Irish who participate in the traditions of St. Patty’s Day activities join in with dancing, drinking and feasting on traditional meals, including Irish bacon and cabbage.  The tradition in America is very similar in the drinking aspect of this day.  Everything is covered in green, from the Leprechaun hats,  beads and shamrock garland draped across everything, to the infamous green beer and pub crawls. You don’t even have to be Irish to partake in the festivities or the major hangover that follows.
Leprechauns seem to be the popular mascot for this holiday. Legend has it these feisty little folklore icons are mischievous and enjoy being practical jokers. Like other fairy creatures, they can be traced back to the Tuatha De’ Danann of Irish mythology.  Apparently they collect gold coins for making shoes and store them in a pot, hence the “pot of gold” associated with them at the end of a rainbow. It is said that if a Leprechaun is captured by a human, they must grant three wishes in order to be set free.  I wonder if this is true in Second Life too….

VMS News: The Bare Bones of It -- Fun, Music & People. (Interview with Bones Writer, creator and owner of TRAX)- Klarissa Huntress Reporting...




Nestled in the middle of a pretty sim is a unique and comprehensive source of live music promotion. This is TRAX, Live Music Resource Center.
TRAX owner and creator, Bones Writer, is a humble man who downplays his remarkable achievements both in Second Life and real life.  His idea for TRAX was to create and promote, “a level playing field where everyone has opportunity and there is no elitism, everybody getting an equal chance to promote and market themselves.”

Bones is a professional musician with thirty years experience in the music industry, as a session player for artists like Jimmy Crespo of Aerosmith, and Billy Idol, or in the thick of a current New York Rock Opera version of Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities.

Little Mary’s: More Than Pixels & Secondlife- Definate Balfour Reporting…




Often, when I take an assignment I begin with some sort of idea of what I’m going to cover, but in this case my assignment originally began in a pursuit for something  business related, but during a conversation the sentence got uttered to me, ’You really should check into Little Mary’s, they got a unique story.’ With a nod I did just that and I contacted Ron Farslider, one of the owners of Little Mary’s. With a teleport and a conversation I was left with a smile and thought on how much Second Life© and first life cross over. Here’s that conversation with Mr. Farslider, the story of Little Mary’s, and why you should take yourself over for a visit.
