Neit Tales - It Begins

Yes, it's true. After two years in Second Life, I've given in to peer pressure and have started a blog.

Special thanks (and raspberries soon, I suspect) go to Garrett Larkham for giving me that final push. Garrett kinda/sorta, well, won me at an auction last Sunday, on the Saints of Hell sim, run by the biggest baddest virtual bikers in cyberspace during our 2008 Bike Week (still going on!). The world may never be the same again.

Now that I have Garrett looking for all the *good* music, and have explained butterfly hunts, how I got my new real-life job, and why all my experiences in SL are just as real to me as the requirements I'm writing at work...oh, and showed off my jewelry (created by Random Calliope, the second-best artist in SL, who created the lovely set I'm wearing in my profile picture) and my dragons (created by Daryth Kennedy, the best artist in SL, Fire is shown here)...maybe we'll actually find time for that date he won.

Then, that leaves the date I have with Rufus Afarensis, who was bidding against Garrett for me in the auction, and who I turned around and 'bought' for myself.

Having both of them at my live music event, at Max's White Orchid Club (built by Maximx Sansome, one of the best builders in SL and my oldest SL friend and now RL friend), on Sunday was great. Three of my favourite people in SL - Fable Sinatra, Song Clanger and Chronic Skronski - performed for us, along with a new addition, Lyn Carlsberg. They were amazing - as always. I think both Garrett and Rufus enjoyed the sim-maxed show.

I'm sure I'll have lots more to say soon, so stay tuned!
