Happening Things Around the Grid Review

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.  I'm trying to post about what I say here too for readers on weeks that I get around to it.   Listen in to hear more each week from myself and DJ Soni. I hope you enjoy it and can use some of the ideas to enhance your time in SL.

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.

The Geeks N Nerds event is now open and runs to November 1st.  They always have a lot of fun techy and geeky products and clothes in a cool environment so be sure to check that out. http://geeksnerdssecondlife.blogspot.com/

SL's Got Talent wraps up this week with winners to be announced on Saturday and a 25K 1st place prize to be awarded.  (Round Two, which will be held on Monday, 19th October 2015 starting at 5pm SLT at the Bluebyrd Entertaiment Resort.  The contestants moving on to Rounds two are as follows: Angela McKeenan, Cordeliasloan Resident, Hedy Patrucci, Jeffah, Katiaportugal Genesis, Khiron Ametza, Ladyrok Resident, LeeWinegarden, libertybell Lyric, Mittycoon, Miss Cast, Singsong4u Resident.  

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer opened yesterday at the Strides 1, 2, and 3 sims with a week of shopping, entertainment and more for a good cause.  My friends Dom, Toxie, and Hogman with Whispering Sands Live Promotions will be there as some of the entertainment.  Whispering Sands Live Promotions signed up yet another talented singer GregKat24 this week.  So be sure to visit his fun shows. http://wslpromo.net/event-board/

If you like to explore I recommend visiting 'Prison' by Cica Ghost this week for a unique contemplative experience. http://karasecondlife.blogspot.com/2015/10/cica-ghosts-prison.html

Check out the SL Destination guide for a long list of great Halloween sims and events.  I've previously mentioned and blogged some of my favorites and this week I recommend the Scare to Death Haunted House Ride.  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Haunted%20Hollow/128/128/22

Today marks the end of the most recent art exhibit at Windlight Gallery where they are having Russell Epoynm performing live.  Keep an eye on Windlight Magazine for art exhibits, fewllowships, club times, a magazine full of art and other events on the grid, podcasts, tutorials, a haunted house, and now a vlog by myself and Emma Portillo.  http://karasecondlife.blogspot.com/2015/10/windlight-gallary-closing-event-for.html

And last but not least I'd like to mention a classy new adult club opening later this week called 'The Inner Room' that features both public and VIP sections. They uniquely offer a variety of rooms with something for everyone including a jazz bar, roman bath house, Boho area, BDSM, gameroom, cigar room, movie theater, burlesque area, main club areas, and social settings just to name a few.  Step into The Inner Room for a night of desires.   This is not just another club but a door to be discovered. 

That's about it for this week and now back to DJ Soni and your Sunday afternoon Slowbake radio show.

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.

Hey folks, it's Kara Trapdoor here again with a weekend review of Kara's Korner Second Life Adventures blogspot "Happening things around the grid".   This past week I enjoyed live music over at Idle Rogue and Ling's The Most Wonderful Party, http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Idle%20Rogue/128/128/28 I've continued following around some super great new live music talent with Whispering Sands Live promotions,  I visited Linden Endowment for the Arts http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/LEA3/128/128/22 to see many new and exciting exhibits and highly recommend LEA15 and LEA24 there and explored some other gorgeous sims around the grid as shown on my blog Stream previously.



Today be sure to check out the final day of the Country and Folk Festival over at Manifesto by 3Y Romea Entertainment featuring many live musicians and DJs on a cute country sim.  Flickr ad: https://www.flickr.com/photos/31875397@N06/20928949476/in/dateposted-public/
