Martini in the Morning

Hello gang.. I am going to be interviewed today on MITM @ 9:15 am by Brad Chambers himself!!  Not sure if it will air live or go on later than that…. http://www.martiniinthemorning.com/ and then they will be streaming LIVE from the Blue Fusion from 12pm - 1:30 SLT.

Hope to see you there!

Holli

Don’t be too surprised…..

Well… I have been travling for over a week now and busy as all get out… if you watch me on twitter you have seen me stuck in airports, hanging in SL, going to AvenueQ (OMG!! it is a must see show if you get a chance - Sesame Street for adults!!) and flying over the California fires.

I have two fire fighters in my family who live in California, they were sent to the big LA fires last summer and all was well…. this time the fires are in my backyard…. and only one of the two are out there fighting at this point, not sure if the other will be sent.  But the fires are so close, luckily they have not effected many houses at this point, in the area, like the Mississippi floods in the Mid-west.  However, the air quality is so bad, and the smoke is moving over the Siera Mountains to Utah where I am today.

Mother Nature sure does know how to show us that she has the upper hand.

During all of this, I have been adding a few gentle changes to the Blue Fusion.  So the Don’t be surprised is that the changes are intented to improve the intimacy of the Blue Fusion, provide more romance while allowing for socializing and connecting with the artists. I hope that they help to enhance your experiences in the Pixel Nature… lol

Stay safe where ever you are, my thoughts are with you…

Hugs and poofs, Holli

Cylindrian Rutabaga LIVE @ Kelly Services HQ Concert Hall

Sunday June 15th, 2008 - 2-3pm SLT

Help LIVE performers make some real money in SL and Support Kelly Services in the second performance of their concert series 


Soulful Modern folk rock music performed on acoustic guitar or piano combines with powerfully delivered and heartfelt lyrics to create a unique sound. Cylindrian’s live performances take listeners on an emotional ride through her own life experiences and those who’ve influenced her.

Cylindrian performs around the grid of Second Life. She has entertained audiences with IBM Corporation, Intel, iVillage, Showtimes’ The L Word, has been a regular performer at Virtual Galveston and Ratepoint.com’s Ratepoint Cafe, the opening of ING’s Sim as well as two Second Life Community Conventions in the real world. Recently, her contacts in Second Life made it possible for her to travel to Boston, MA to perform at PodCamp Boston 2 and in three venues in and around the city of Boston. One such show she joined SL musician Dann Numbers (Dann Russo in the real world) at Sweetwater Cafe where many SL Residents traveled in to see the show.
She is most noted for her real life/second life simulcast performances where she broadcasts audio into Second Life from the various real life venues she is booked in.

Kelly Services is a global company.  Their virtual headquarters functions as the premier connection within Second Life for job placement and career development, serving the community with public seminars, conferences, job fairs, interviews, training, and more.

The Kelly Services Island offers interactive in-world scenerios for high-end interactive  Job Scenes.  Wonder what it’s like to work for Kelly? The island provides unique, in-world scenarios where avatars can work in virtual jobs that showcase some of Kelly’s real-life career opportunities.  Each scene has four boxes of wonderful items (like clothes) to collect, so feel free to stop on by.

Photo Shoot in the Park…

I have a challenge having photos taken of me.  It is a known fact… my family, ppl that know me, people that don’t know me… lol… the camera steals my soul, or can’t capture it not sure…

So my mother offered to do a photo shoot for me… we really did not have a ton of time… but we went to the park, sun out, a Football (soccer game) in the park and my mom teasing me.. and we caught a few.  Thought I would share… hope you enjoy…

Huggs and Poofs, Holli

Blue Fusion Makes it in the Top Popular Places on b.places

Brussels Airlines has joined Second Life and wow they have a really exciting and creative way of showing off that they are here….. They have this fantastic HUD that allows you to see top rated, new and exciting places all from a well designed airplane that you wear on your screen….. the individual places are hand picked by the company to establish quality and design. Then the popularity is left up to the residents of SL to vote and be involved to help make the places rise on the charts based on the amount of votes received.

I am not sure if residents realized the value of a RL company coming into Second Life, but just as in real life there is a direct correlation to the success of SL in the future to companies having the ability to survive here. I have seen so many companies build big beautiful SIMs and leave them empty. They know how to get in SL and make a presence, but how do they engage, what are they doing to expose, learn, drive the technology, research, engage with the residence, hell even figure out how to use the search engine in SL.

Brussels Airlines is doing it right! They are engaging the residence of Second Life via the social entertainment in this media. If we do not have social, then what do we have but pretty cartoons and rezzing objects…. I have seen some others really doing it. Kelly Services investing in the Live Music industry in SL. there commitment to engage the residence of SL in a social surround Live Music Events, IBM via the technical community, Galveston and their resort like beaches. These are the companies that understand there is a value in the residences.

Martini in the Morning has finally gotten it….. they have a good thing in SL. A very strong and devoted following. They have engaged the clubs that play their stream and built social events around each place. Adding the human factor to the virtual world… I love it. We had them at the Blue Fusion it was a total success! Lots of fun, engaging people and energy and added listeners to Brad’s list…. I hope we did him proud!  Everyone loved having Martini and Morning avatars at the Blue!

Well there we are for my Saturday rambles…..
