No Bitching This Week

Even though I have a whole lot to bitch about, I’ll take a break and give you one too. No bitching about Second Life ™ and the crap they put us through. Enough said.

First, I survived the hurricane. Okay I didn’t’ have to survive much because it wasn’t as bad as expected but still, I had to evacuate and the whole city was in turmoil. Thank god we are all safe and trying to get things back to normal. Stay away Ike!!

A couple new people join our lavender team. Paris Esparza is our new administrative assistant and will be out and about Lavender Isle checking on things and helping Trella and me with attempting to keep things running smooth. Chartier Ballinger joins our team as a Thump reporter and will be doing reviews of live performers and venues for Thump Magazine. Look for his reviews to appear shortly.

The “CHER” recreation went very well with Trella appearing as Cher and Mutley, Tee, JulieAnne and myself as backing singers and dancers. About 45 people took in the show and it was wonderful despite the usual Second Life ™ issues (oops sorry, no bitching). I think another show will be planned in the near future.

Attendance has been down over the summer at Gia’s but with school back I hope that changes somewhat. This week the incredible Phemie Alcott will be appearing and she usually attracts a crowd. Plans are under way for our Halloween event. Tentatively called “Monster’s Ball”, it’ll be on Friday the 31st of October and we’ve booked Etherian Kamaboko and OnlyHalfCrazy Gumbo to appear. Incidentally it’ll be Gia’s first anniversary on the same day and co-incidentally Etherian was the first performer to appear at Gia’s one year ago. Our very own Tee Yao will be the Spooky DJ for the event and your Mistress of Ceremonies. It’ll be a “HOWL” and we’ll have a few contests and prizes. Don’t miss out and stay tuned for further details.

Speaking of Halloween, Mutley Latte has been given the responsibility of creating a Halloween display on the Island. I’m sure she’ll top last year’s haunted house and cemetery (I created it, so it shouldn’t be hard to do). LOL. I’m looking forward to seeing what she does because she not only has an eye for detail but a great imagination.

I can’t believe how time flies because it seems like only yesterday that we had special events for holidays and here they are again. I’m already thinking of planning something for Mardi Gras on February 24 too.

Well that’s a quick update for this week. I was evacuated for a while and that affected what I was able to do inworld. Lets hope Ike stays away.

Ciao for now
