"Effinjay" At The Rose Theater

 

 

 On Sunday, there was a live music performance at the Rose Theater in the Angel Manor sim. Frogg Marlowe and Jaycatt Nico, also known as "Effinjay" sang there for an hour from 1 to 2 PM

Effinjay News: Good afternoon everyone, we've got a 1pm show today at the Rose Theater!

 

Yours truly got there in time to hear a few songs, Jaycatt on the piano and Frogg with his guitar, and managed to get a few pictures. But for some reason Frogg wouldn't show up so much as a nametag until after the event ended.

Jaycatt and Frogg have been performing in Second Life for over 18 years, and continue to appear at various venues across the grid.

Requested Attire:   Relay T-shirts and jeans / skirt  - let's keep the load on the sim to a minimum.
Please detach all huds (dance, game, roleplay, hair, shoes, clothing etc), if your clothing, shoes or hair has a resize script then please remove the script or put on different clothes, hair, shoes. Turn your draw distance down to 128 or lower, set your quality to Medium if you need to for this time period, turn your particles to 50 or lower, set your Max Avatars lower if needed .  Remember, you control your own lag.  Your computer processing speed is the majority determinant for how you experience an event. Adjust YOUR settings and things will improve. But we can all help each other out by doing the simple steps above with our huds and clothes.

We look forward to seeing you at the party !!      

SL Video: "A Difference of Perception"

(Click here if the video does not play)

Kaya Angel, the "big brother" Kylie Sabra mentioned in her interview earlier this month, has produced a video that's been turning a few heads. In response to some of the simplistic videos done of Second Life, he made one that took advantage of a computer able to process the scenery at it's finest and most beautiful.

"What is your perception of Second Life? ... Allow me to share my perception. It's a place to explore and create, to build your dreams and share them. and to explore who you really are when boundaries are removed. Welcome to the dream I created: Angel Manor Estates."

In the video's comments, there were many words of praise: "It's stunningly beautiful work, and a wonderful way to showcase what SL can be." "WOW! Fantastic!!!! Just beautiful." But there were a handful of critics. Hamlet Au commented that those few criticisms suggest that some gamers have pretty much written off Second Life and will not be impressed no matter what new videos or developments come, While some might see the criticisms as a reason for Linden Lab to pin it's hopes on SL 2.0, it seems most users of Second Life, prefer to see the video as an example of what the virtual experience can be.
