Weekly SL Events Review for SL Live Radio


So, many of your know I'm doing a weekly little voice piece on SL Live radio reviewing events and fun stuff I like around the grid.  You can hear this 2 x during the Slow Bake show with DJ Soni between 12noon SL and 2pm SLT each Sunday.   More info. about her show at the bottom of this page.

Here is what I had to say this week:

Hi Slow Bake fans, It's Kara Trapdoor of Kara's Korner Blogger BlogSpot here again with your weekly, "Happening Things Around the Grid" review.

This past week Windlight Magazine won the 2015 Innovative Media Award for Best Arts and Culture Magazine. http://windlightmagazine.com/  Congratulations to them as well as Whispering Sands Live Promotions who had 103 new bookings for their musicians in Second Life in just 27 days.  That's pretty impressive! http://wslpromo.net/

Later today the MadPea annual Celebrity Auction wraps up their weekend of events.  Be sure to hurry over for their final day including the live celebrity auction as well as the silent bid boards.  There are numerous Lindens, Draxtor with his machinima, Bryn Oh, many musicians, and many other people including myself up for auction.  SL Live radio is also involved in this event that is a fundraiser raising money to build schools with Live and Learn in Kenya.  All for a good cause. http://karasecondlife.blogspot.com/2015/09/madpea-celebrity-auction-and-events.html

Another fun thing to do is visit the Meshavenue SepSTEAMber shopping event for tons of great steampunk type shopping in an amazing sim to explore.  But hurry over as this will close Sept 30th.  Then their October events will be in Hollywood Glam style. http://karasecondlife.blogspot.com/2015/09/sepsteamber.html

October 1st Halloween Town by Laura Liberty opens and it's always an annual favorite.  October also brings Octoberfests, Halloween haunted houses, hunts and costume parties.  http://secondlife.com/destinations/haunted

This week we also have a new impressive live music venue opening. http://karasecondlife.blogspot.com/2015/09/harmony-gardens-venue-grand-opening.html Gorgeous Harmony Gardens will have a full lineup of live music at their grand opening October 3rd in the Carolina beach sim.   Nicky Tams Pub  in Lock London Scotland is also very new and They've booked many live musicians for October as well.

October brings a lot of fall sim décor changes and a beautiful artistic and fun sim to explore is High Water.  See info. and direct links at Kara's Korner SL Adventures. http://karasecondlife.blogspot.com/

That's all for now.  Enjoy your SL week and now back to DJ Soni with your Slow Bake SL Live radio show.

High Water, an Excellent Artsy Explore

Great Weekend Explore coming right up!

 High Water, visit here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/High%20Water/128/128/21

I've been hanging out in this sim for a week or so now, and continue to find little things I missed on prior visitis because it's loaded with stuff I love.  I met the sim owner, Morton Funk, who said it's been there for a few months but just starting to pick up in traffic.  I suggested he recommend it to the SL Destination guide as it's very worthy of editor's picks in my opinion.  At first glance it appears to be a water sim filled with various fall trees with some fantasy/art foliage mixed in and various artsy seating, poses, cuddles spots with a variety of vignettes of various type.  There are Flickr pictures enlarged and in the water, dance mats and a glass dance floor in the sky, horses you can ride or watch gallop across the sim, a glass house that is pretty cool with a bed that has many options for being in a glass house in a public sim, just saying.  Oh, and the sim is rated Moderate.   The owner didn't put a lot in the sim description, simply, "not another art collection" and his profile is not overflowing so I was expecting little reaction to my greeting or at least a man of few words, but he was very friendly, agreeable to my taking his picture and blogging the sim, and indicated he'd leave the sim up for the public /visitors to enjoy for a while.  So head on over and take some close looks.. the longer I stay the more I see and have simply become enchanted by it all.

Area 57 Breakin: A cute Focus Pose Prop

Visit Focus Poses here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Diamond%20Land/161/201/3002


My friend Kathy Nikolaidis showed me this new pose and prop set from Focus Poses and suggested we do it, I guess 'cause we like sneaking around?? Blame her, I'm innocent.  So I'm calling it Area 57 Breakin, but she refers to it as the boys locker room breakin and you can see her version here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1615914718672118&set=a.1381318742131718.1073741829.100007608159785&type=1&theater

Posting because they have a lot of cute poses and props and I had never seen their store before, plus Kathy got a great shot of it over on her Facebook I'd like to show off.

LEA2 The Night Theater
I luckily received a notice and caught Midsummer Mischief at LEA2 just before it started.  The Night Theater will run it again today at 12noon and then will present a cake themed show Friday and probably yet another show Saturday in the church and then Once Upon a Saturday.  The gorgeous fall sim theme will be around until the end of September then it will change up to a darker feel for Halloween in October.  The show Saturday featured fantasy creatures and the sim is a beautiful explore.  Everyone is welcome to explore any time.    I totally loved the costumes and  setting.  Be sure to explore this area and try to catch a show.

Love Henry LEA8

Visit here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/LEA8/128/128/21

Mfriend, Corey Segall, a fellow Flickr fan and great photographer, IM'd me and asked if I'd seen Tahiti Rae’s LEA8 Love Henry yet.  I had been over there for a Photohunt a few weeks prior but since I had crashed and was cooking and stuff at the same time decided it deserved a thorough explore, since it was super cool.  I tp'd over and we both donned the free period garb provided in the sim to explore.  He was a wealth of information about King Henry VII and Anne Boleyn and while the sim was very informative it was cool to learn from him since it was super late (or rather early) for me/my time and I was sleepy, lazy, and just rather enjoyed him giving me the info. while I relaxed and took a few pics in anticipation of blogging it.  The place has been blogged many times before but it's worth another post especially since it's only going to remain there through the end of the month.  If you haven't seen it be sure to visit.  While there you might enjoy the quest for information in various inspiring locations, learn some history, enjoy the beautiful builds and scenery and pose places, and listen to some enchanting music.   I was touched by the tragic love story about Henry and Ann and the debate as to the authenticity of a letter purported to be written by Anna to Henry in her exiled tower. Hurry over as this beautiful sim and build closes the end of the month.

Collin Martin and Parker Static Dual Streaming Barton Hollow





Listen to these two dual stream... JUST WOW!   I got a very late night notice these two were going to dual stream at The Voodoo Lounge.  I was late in and my CPU was SO slow as I'd been running around on high graphics for too long.  Please just listen to the sound and try not to pay too much attention to the poor quality of this unplanned video.  My poor little laptop : ( .   OK, an amazing thing about this dual streaming is that Parker can't even hear Collin while they are singing.  She has to trust that Collin is singing with her and harmonizing well.... and that he does!  Nailed it!  Thanks Collin and Parker.  Catch them individually and together all over the grid.

I was all set to blog this for today then saw Inara Pey did an excellent job of covering this and all things Duran Duran in SL so I am just going to draw your attention to blog where you can always find great info. here: http://modemworld.me/2015/09/12/strictly-light-pink-and-blue-with-duran-duran-in-second-life/

Requiem: A 9-11 Memorial


requiem
Ok, I'm very disappointed I missed this as the sim was full by the time I tried to get in.  But I heard from 3 reliable separate male sources they had tears in their eyes and felt there couldn't be a dry eye in the place, which says a lot for a SL event.   I did go by after the show and looked at the art and information and got a program which is really in full book format so you can get an idea from that what it was all about if interested. Also there is still art and information and teleport to a memorial here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Betonia/115/235/344

I found this info. on Facebook in case you missed it too, so we can watch for the video at least.
