The Portuguese Way

Gemma Cleanslate took a good look at a new exhibit at the Linden Endowment of the Arts area. At LEA19 is a tribute to the history and culture of Portugal: The Portuguese Wat. Beginning with the opening party attended by a number of artists, she made several trips to the place, once with her partner Qwark Allen who lives in Portugal. So what were some of the details that made the exhibit so memorable?

"The Lighttower" Closes it's Doors

One of DJ Quark Allen's favorite places to play his music was "The Lighttower." I forget exactly when he started, but it's before Second Life Newser started.

Sunday, we at SL Newser learned the club was closed, the area it was at up for sale. The owner, supposedly, has been offline for a while.

Although not as popular as many sims that have vanished, the place still was where we went to relax on occasion, and sometimes have a chuckle or two that later showed up again as a cartoon.

The place will be missed.

Quark Allen DJs at United for Change

From 12 to 2 PM on Sunday August the 28th, DJ Quark Allen performed his trance tunes at the Eternalis sim for the "United for Change" fundraiser for Kenyan children. At 12:25, Lalabel Demina announced a total of more than 109,000 L had been raised. 100 Lindens was enough to buy a meal, so this was enough for 1090 meals.

The event would go on until 5 PM. SL Newser hadn't heard what the final total raised was.

Happy Rezzday Quark

Gemma Cleanslate's partner DJ Quark Allen had a rezzday party at his home yesterday, Saturday the 24th. A number of people showed up, including Breezes, Glitter, Eymerich Lane, Any1 Gynoid, and more. Also showing up was a foot tall microfox, or "the little orange vermin on your piano" as Any1 joked.


Happy Rezzday, Quark
