So I was bad and not blogging, then sick and not blogging… ok… here is a way to make up for it….
I flew to Boston on Wednesday… I am here to visit Filthy Fluno and attend his gallery opening - plug: CounterpArt Gallery in Lowell MA. Going to be a blast… I came in early… Wed nite so that I could see Cylindrian Rutabaga play in the city. It was a cool little bar literally on the border of the Somerville and Cambridge (the building is split down the middle…. so funny!) anyway…
Watching Cyl play, always puts me in a zone. It is of Awe, Love, Amazement and Admiration. Cyl is a hero for me. In this dark bar of locals and SLerrs that transported not Teleported into the place she had us captured. The locals were uninterested at first… I watched them, probably use to watching artists come and go, this little Georgia Peach gets on the stage and says “I am gonna get a little redneck on ya’all” and starts strumming and singing… you see the locals looking out of the corner of their eyes - peeking at the peach. The SL’ers already love her, know her music, know the place that she takes them from their computer and the joy of seeing her in flesh and blood.
She belts out a few more songs…. the local bar flies (including the bartender) are now sitting a watching her… they are getting into it… feeling a bit of her magic that effects us.
And then… something happened… she became magical. She closed her eyes and I believe that she forgot about us. She went into herself and her music. She melded with her guitar, her sound, her thoughts and maybe memories? I don’t know… but she blended and was perfect.
Wow I wrote more than I thought I would about it… but the point. Cylindrian is truly a hero to me. I admire who she is.
It made me think about heroes. Right there and then. They do not have to be warriors, great people of the world, ball players, movie stars, they do not have to be lifelong achievers or greatness through history. They can be small, sweet and fragile. I have so many and all of them give me a star, a sparkle, a glimmer of my personal greatness and power, and I want to thank them all. This is for the Grace of light. I want to explore my other heroes in the next few posts…
Hugs and poofs
I know that I have been behind… but Real Life has been demanding on me the last few weeks… and I have to say… not too sad…but also happy to be back!
I literally spent 36 hours away from the computer for the weekend… was fantastic!! everyone needs a little non computer time… I recommend it…
What did I do?? I spent time with my lovely darling god babies…. they make me smile and warm my heart… totally refreshing! My favorite conversation? “I don’t want to go to bed” says my 3 year old godson, I say “Why don’t you want to go to bed” he says “why do you want to know”? How is he so smart? He is 3!!! Ah… I am totally in love!
So I wanted you all to know that I am still alive (and yes… quiet odd that ppl are actually reading my blog… but the numbers prove it… so I have to keep writing!)
Huggs and Poofs, Holli

I have been doing a lot of explaining lately in SL, So I thought that I would post my REAL reasons for being in Second Life.
1. Research and contribution in an emerging technology: I believe that Second Life is a real contributor to the virtual worlds that will be the next generation of the internet. Do you know who Gartner is? It is a third party company that is a leader in the technology industry that covers technology trends. Gartner predicts that 80% of existing internet users, will be in some form of a virtual world by the year 2011. I believe that the time I spend in Second Life, is a contribution to the future. I have been working in technology for over 19 years. I have spent my career focusing on collaboration and technologies that target human interact and the emotional relationships with technology. This is my Real Life love and my Second Life love.
2. Patron and contributor of the Arts: My heart is in the arts. I love music, performance, art, technology in art, emotional expression. In Second Life I get to participate in all of these aspects, from my own personal expressions, to my appreciations and support for others. I stand strong on helping lift up, promote, expose and deliver artists to this new emerging technology and in Real Life as well. I believe there is such talented people in Second Life. Together we can help make Second Life a form of technology that can benefit the artist. We have to work together to make it happen. Educate the communities and get creative. Thinking out of this box can go a far way.
3. Social networking: I blog, myspace, youtube, facebook, slprofiles, thesixtyone, twitter (a little I admit), de-licio-us, and I Second Life. I believe that who I am in Second Life is who I am in Real Life. I am an honest person with a lot of humility. I am flawed, imperfect, bitchy, emotional, crazy and real! Second Life is not a game. If we get to know each other, just as in the real world, I will open my home, my heart and my life to you. I expect that in the core fundemental basic dealings with me, that you are honest, and know that I never come from a place to use or abuse anyone intentionally. I believe that Second Life offers a place for me to meet people, just as in Real Life.
The people that I have met in Real Life, Filthy Fluno, Cylindrian Rutabaga, Pato Milo, Zero One, Haliey Baliey, Fairie McCarey, Rake , Doug Mendelbaum, Brenna, Damon, Keiko, Aki, some Lindens and Armand SaintLouis that have touched me and many others to come! They make me honored to be apart of this virtual world that has so profoundly effected my real life. There are others that have inspired me, like Jonathan Kazan, Fangorn Denagu, Fdisk Nitely and of course Clanman Burns, who while 15 hours ahead of me, keeps me grounded in Second Life. I can not meet some of these people at this point due to physical boundries, but the relationships are just as strong!
I dont make any money on this Second Life gig… I spend.. a lot… and I do this for the love of it…and to support the live music, the technology and the social aspects of Second Life. My island is for the enjoyment of all Second Lif’ers. I have the mall, but it pays per month what I spend on ONE live performance at the Blue Fusion.
I am SO much more than just a venue owner in Second Life. I am an innovator, a friend, a promoter and a woman that is honest and true. If you EVER have any question about my motivation, my inspiration, my drive and passion, please feel free to talk to me about it.
Huggs and poofs, Holli

Cylindrian played today at a fantasic show that was a special event backing the ChangHigh Trinity Sisters in there performing arts of light, dance and words from the heart to the spirit.
This group is dedicated to supporting the living, loving, and enlightened performances of The ChangHigh Trinity Sisters done here in Second Life. They are here to support the living creative art done by the Sisters of Light, Life and Love, with their loyalty to the natural, honest work and to the beauty, goodness and sincerity with which they heighten the culture and spirit within SL.
Their current location is at http://slurl.com/secondlife/THE%20BEST%20OF%20BOULEVARD/42/199/540
Cylindrian was in top form today regardless of the island crashing hard… she was her natural, sweet and smooth self.
Here are some pictures I took of the perfomance
There was a sweet blessing over Cylindrian and the audience that was both touching and sincere.
I was touched….
