Friday night in Second Life (part 1)

Other than a frustrating trip trying to buy sneakers (I hate it when guys try to hit on me when I’m trying to shop), Friday night in SL has gone rather smoothly. I had the opportunity to talk to Annie Fukai, a friend I met a few nights ago at ColeMarie’s club (or lounge, however you want to refer to it). After ranting a bit to her about my inability to shop in peace :), I told her about my blog and asked if she would mind if I linked to her MySpace page. She agreed, so I am happy to share it with all of you: http://www.myspace.com/toeduprocks

She is part of a band called Toe’d Up (seems like a lot of my friends so far are musicians, and here I am with no musical talent whatsoever). When you check out her page (and I know you will), I especially recommend you listen to “Blind,” which is my favorite of the songs she has listed.

She has a concert coming up in SL on Tuesday. I don’t have the particulars, but I’ll be sure to share them when I do.

So much talent. Maybe some of it will rub off on me.

More to come . . . soon . . .

First post—ColeMarie concert at the Faerie Gardens

I should have started this blog last week, when I first began using Second Life (SL), but I didn’t know at the time I would get so addicted and have so much to talk about.

Anyway, for my inaugural post, I will talk about an SL concert I went to tonight.

ColeMarie Soleil, with whom I recently became friends, held a concert at the Faerie Gardens. I arrived just before the show began to find a large, mostly winged audience huddled in front of the stage. I was glad that I had dressed appropriately, wearing a short emerald green dress with light blue butterfly wings (think Tinkerbell).

The concert was the first I have attended in SL, and I really enjoyed it. The crowd was incredibly supportive of ColeMarie, as her tip jar clearly showed. Though most of the music were covers, she graced us with some of her own work as well, including a song about SL.

The concert lasted nearly two hours, well past the time it was to end (the crowd couldn’t get enough). ColeMarie told us that her voice was a little scratchy because she had been sick, but like a real trooper, she stuck in there and kept playing for her audience.

Great night, overall. If you’re a Second Lifer, you should stop by and see ColeMarie at Pandora’s Box (I think you have to leave the apostrophe out to get it to show up in Search).

Until next time . . . Chloe
