DJs At The SLB

 

There's a lot going on at the SL18B. There's the "Meet the Lindens" events. There are the numerous exhibits. And there's the music. On Monday, I stopped by two DJs playing music at the DJ stage. One was Grease Coakes.

DJ Grease played to a crowd at the DJ stage at 4AM SL time, a mix of humans, furs, a gryphon, and one glowing shape. He would later post his set on Mixcloud, "played for the amazing people who make up Second Life. Trance and video game remixes are meshed in tightly for an amazing two hour dj set. The theme of "Other Worlds" for SLB this year fits in nicely with this trance set. The picture is based upon Dragon Warrior Monsters 1. Thus the last song is a piano remix of the town theme from Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 DWM 1 and 2 is all about traveling to other worlds as you jump into an epic adventure!" 

A few hours later at 10 AM was DJ Moff (MoffettMephit Resident) of Montecito Bay. He and Emmy (Emorald Resident) greeted me. 

There was quite a crowd there, including the Relay's black unicorn Avariel Falcon and Squeaky Mole.

Moff compared his set to a spaceship run, "Welcome board Crux Space Flight 168 to Tech Noir! We've begun boarding for all classes, so please, step inside, buckle up....and leave the rest of this trip up to your Captain, Super Rockin' Magic Moff! We expect a VERY smooth, uneventful flight.....(famous last words....)"

"OMG Finally! we're approaching the Pacific Coast! ... It's been a long drive, but we're almost there. I hope we don't run into anything WEIRD though. ... I told ya I'll get ya to the SpacePort! OMG the Mole fell off! *throws a teleporter* We can't wait! The ship will depart soon! ... Alright, let's see if 88mph will do the trick! HANG ON! ... OMG I think it worked! I can see the space port!"

Before long, someone in an ostrich avatar came out. And then was going around riding a banana. As Moff put it, "Now THAT is properly weird!" 

Eventually, the set would end, Moff saying, "This was fantastic! Thank you SLB18 crew for having me." Over the stream, he would say "Thank you all for having me! Happy Birthday Second Life!"

RFL Pool Party at Tiny's Haven

On Saturday at 1PM SL time, there was a pool party at Tiny's Haven for the Relay or Life, where the local tiny avatars invited human and other larger avatars (which they commonly call "biggies") over to cool off and donate a few Lindens for the Relay team "Tiny Steps for a Cure."

DJ Laz spun the tunes for the party, being encouraged by the Relay's popular DJ Madonna. When asked about her latex dress and if it was suggestive, Madonna commented, "I'm not bad, I just dress that way."

 Avariel Falcon was among those there, doing the dogpaddle, or is that the unicorn-paddle?

The party was great fun for all.

"Tiny Steps For a Cure" is one of the top Relay teams in fundraising, as of the writing of this article almost at 400,000 Lindens.

There were other Relay events that weekend. Among them Dusk Griswold DJed at one event in honor of one girl whom had recently lost her fight against cancer, and the team that was started inher behalf.
