It has been along time!

2010-02-06T02:31:00.003-05:00

Hi everyone! I am totally neglectful of this poor little blog. I do hear it is so 2008 though.. lol
Anyway, been a crazy year of ups and downs. But getting off to a good start this 2010. Almost a year at the new church as their music director. It has been so much work, building their program from the ground up. They had nothing there, it was a shame, all that talent and no one to help them use it. But have met great people and now working in a place I feel at home. I don't have my own office yet. They are in the process of building a new building that will house the offices, classrooms, gathering space, and meeting places., So hopefully, my space. which now doubles as the storage area, will before this year is out, be a creative space. I look forward to that. well, off to sleep as the snow falls outside my window and the warmth of my home lulls me to sleep. ~hugs~

This is so exciting! Many of my friends have offered to help ring in the new era of Poseidon's Port! Plus, we are now a part of the Sister Cities!! We are honored at their notice.

We now have 2 private islands joined together offering tranquility and fun...

Today we open the new venue, the SoundCastle Park, along with the new Art Gallery, a wonderful place filled spectacular art by many of the talented residents of SL. No dress code, I have even been known to use the jetskiis in a gown!

Please, stroll around the 2 sims and indulge in all we have to offer... by the new stage there is the beautiful Art Gallery, plus a free jetski to cruise around the sims on, a go-kart track and some shopping, which we will eventually have filled with wonderful items.

If you are up for a romantic dance, stop in the Theater on the Pier, an elegant edition that Red built to honor both our fond childhood memories. We filled the pier with some fun activites, bumper cars, rock climbing, a carousel, and of course, what visit to the boardwalk wouldn't be complete without having your fortune told in Madam Marie's!

Dance in the treehouse or take a hot air balloon ride. Walk over the bridge in where our last, but not least, venue will soon open. The Cat & Fiddle pub area... a place of days gone by where magical fairies and suprises abound... If you love it here, you can stay... we have some homes that you can rent...

See you soon, Love,
Jean & Red

It's been too long

2008-09-13T23:13:00.004-04:00

hmmm, it's has been far too long, but have to say, the more things change, the more they stay the same...
People come into your life, and people go out of your life... I wish that wouldn't happen every, but it does.
The passing of a dear friend, Yrrek Gran, was rather devastating... It made me realize that SL/RL.... there really isn't no separating the two. We make these bonds across the digital divide that encapsulate our day to day existance, the firing up of our little magical machines to see who of our friends will we talk to right now.... across this digital divide.
She was smart, funny, quick witted and oh.. did I mention brilliant.. He star will shine for years to come.

Neighbor's

2008-01-25T01:01:00.002-05:00

Wow, there are good neighbors and then well, you get the bad ones. Here I am on beautiful Tiberius, on my corner of the world, to sign onto SL and find some neighbors have moved in and put a bunch of HUGE pornographic images enclosing their little parcel. What is up with that! I fly over to inspect.. ping ping... it's another neighbor... Nikee seeing that I am inspecting the spectacle that is across the sim... My, how lovely. (we both cough)
Do people have any respect anymore, do people even care what other people think. What a sad place the world is becoming. It's becoming too much of a "if it makes me happy, what's the problem" The problem? The problem is we are all creatures of this earth. All living together; any action, word, or deed does affect another in some way or form. Before you go ahead and think only of yourself, think of the people around you. You are not the only inhabitant of this world, SL or RL. There are REAL people here. Think about it. I don't care what you do behind closed doors, really don't. But out in public, give me a break, will ya, show some decency, (as per the TOS, the 'big 6")...
I guess reading is not some people strong point.

Appeared on the "Live with Paisley Beebe" show

2007-11-09T02:36:00.001-05:00

Hi everyone, Poseidon's Port has become a fun place to be! Plenty of great musicians...
What a week! It all started on Sunday, when i was on the "Live with Paisley Beebe" show. If you didn't make the show, please click on the link. It is the Nov 4th show and I am the second guest to appear. It was a nice experience and I hope that Paisley will ask me back again! Then, yesterday, who shows up at my club looking all beautiful and sporty? Paisley, herself! What a surprise. I was honored that she wandered over to my place. It was Wednesday and I had just finished up my first round of shows. I was hosting a good friend of mine, Xandernichting Writer. I played at 12pm, and he followed up at 1pm. What a fantastic show he put on. He played for an hour and half, the "joint was jumping!" No one wanted to leave! Then Paisley showed up, but unfortunately, she had missed his show. Xander is someone Paisley NEEDS to have on her show :). We all were talking and having such a good time, that it continued right on into my evening showcase! I started playing at 4:30pm. Never even had time for dinner. Then Eliz Watanabe followed me. You have to try and see her. She is a new SL singer and puts on a lovely show. The night finished with a nice bluesy set put on by Etherian Kamaboko. He is a seasoned SL musician, putting on shows around the metaverse, but he likes to play mine! Love it!
Soooo, after an exhausting, fun day... I finally ate dinner while listening to Etherian. Hey, it's just a roller coaster, isn't it?

***Still looking for merchants to rent my shops... SO please, if you know anyone who wants to sell their items at a high traffic place owned by me, please send them my way.
I also have some nice home rentals... Please, stop by and have a dance under the stars. You'll love it here. ***

** next week, I am having Me, Montian Gilruth, Groucho March on Wednesday night and Xandernichting Writer and myself at a Eurofriendly time on Thursday. Please stop in.

It's almost Halloween

2007-10-30T08:01:00.000-04:00

Just a little note. Haven't posted in awhile... Halloween is tomorrow. Hope to go to some fun parties that I have been invited to, but like to be available to hand out candy to all the great kids that come to my door.

The New Place

2007-09-23T16:17:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone! Woa, Have we been busy. I purchased a little more land to expand my Corner Cultivation Club. I then told Audiater about what I would like to do with the place, make this bigger, expand there, Well, before I knew it... he had this beautiful new Mediterranean seaside village built. So we appropriately named it Poseidon's Port. All I can say is phew, when Audiater gets and idea, just step aside and let his genius work. It is complete with 4 home rentals, (2 are already rented since we opened last Sunday, so if you would like to live here, you better hurry) and some shops! Know anyone who likes to build and needs a place to sell them? We already have some great designer's that have set up shop here, you can find some beautiful dresses by Eros designs, and Tazzies. We also have Lora's, who makes beautiful furniture and functional furniture. Oh, just an aside.. check out her lunar module build. It's amazing! Then there Io, who makes a nice array of designer watches, sunglasses, and modern furniture. We also have the designer Artizan, who makes some beautiful African designs rugs, furniture, and vases. They all carry a sampling of their creative designs. soooo. make sure you stop in a look around.

Audiater also put in a nice little pizzeria, so if you are hungry for a slice just grab a seat and enjoy the ocean view as the sun rises and sets.

If you walk up through the inside mall, you will see that on the top floor is our new club where you can listen to music and dance under the stars. I usually play here on Sunday's at 3pmSLT.

I also have other events planned for the future. There will other great SL musicians and DJ's to keep you dancing as well as other exciting different events that everyone is sure to have fun at.

I made a new group, Poseidon's Port Insiders... so please join and I will keep up to date on the events that I will be hosting here!.

Toodles, Jean

Like to do things out of order...

2007-08-30T23:18:00.000-04:00

Anyway, it's late on the 30th of August. Have been playing alot of gigs. You can find me usually every Sunday at my place, The Corner Cultivation Club, or The Corner Cult, as I like to call it.
Audi and I released this past month, 'Songbird". He did the whole arrangement. It was a song that I liked from long ago and every now and then I would hear it pop up on one of my obscure jazz stations. Soooo, I then decided to put it in my SL show. Amy Furgeson, a friend on SL, and also a live DJ, asked if I had a recording of myself singing "Songbird". Well, not at the time. So Audiater and I decided that would be my first release on SL. Audi did an incredible job on the arrangement. If you like it, you can pick the Mp3 up at my Corner Cultivation Club.

Hi, and welcome, I am a new musician playing live gigs in Second Life. I sing a sweet jazz tune and play the keys. I played my first gig on June 17 in the Sky Society Caffe. A quaint little jazz club. It was built by my partner, Audiater Faulds. Don't bother looking for it, though. We blew it up a month later and bought a place on the water. I love it! In just a few short weeks, my second life has taken off. Recently, I was interviewed and featured on page 4 of the SL newspaper, meteaverse. This is the July 24th issue of the metaversemessenger
