Picture Post #1

I have some old and new snapshots on my computer that I decided just to put here as picture post entries.

Last Dance

Yesterday was the final events for Book Island's 5th Anniversary.  At 2pm SLT, Brendan Shoreland sang and played his guitar at the dance venue.  He performed covers and his own original songs.  I arrived to the dance, which was a Best Period or Historical Costumes theme, when Brendan sang Lovesong by The Cure.  That was my favorite performance of the day.  I also enjoyed it when he sang Vincent by Don McLean.  It sounded like a bedtime story being sang to us.

We salsa danced through the rest of the event.  Even though the anniversary celebrations are over, the limo tour of the sim and treasure hunt will go on until the rest of May.

 

I'm looking forward to another 5+ years of Book Island.

Book Island's 5th Anniversary

Yesterday was the kick-off of the Book Island 5th Anniversary celebrations. 

After the talk, my favorite DJ in Second Life, Izzy Upsilon, played music from 2007 (when Book Island was created), requests, and other songs from his playlist.  Everyone danced for close to 5 hours straight, which I think is appropriate because it's like one hour for each year of the sim.  The dance was Best Noob or Pirate costume.   

My very first avatar that I logged onto SL in was the Furry Female outfit.  I still have the torch I received from the Orientation sim in my inventory too!  Come visit the Noob Gallery on Book Island to see newbie pictures of Book Island members.  It was nice to try on my noob avatar again because it brought back memories, but I decided to go with the other option.

There will be more 5th anniversary celebrations for the rest of this month, so come on by to Book Island to pick up an events schedule or join the group.

I lost interest in creating machinima when I lost my inventory about a year ago. I had some ideas and jotted them down on paper, but I couldn't create anything without the use of my avatar and inventory. Now that everything is fixed and I am gaining a lot of inspiration from writers in SL, I want to make more videos! Specifically, about short stories, microfiction, and maybe poetry.

Here is one that I made recently for a poem written by my friend, Izzy.
