Bundy Xue Goes on Hiatus From Music Club Scene

Longtime readers of the Newser may remember Bundy Xue, an Australian club owner whom helped out with the "Jam For Genes" fundraiser that went on every August for a few years up to 2014. She also participated in an Australian Day flood relief benefit in 2011. When we last heard from her, she had closed her B&Bs Aussie club, with plans to build a smaller one.

Any1 Gynoid notified the Newser that Bundy has closed her new club and is taking an indefinite break from running clubs in Second Life, sending us a notecard from her.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY ALL SHOWS @ BUNDY's ARE CANCELLED. 

 Due to personal reasons and family commitments I am closing Bundy's down. 

 As most of you know i have owned or hosted a live music venue for the last 6.5 years and at the moment I am no longer enjoying the music. So after some thought and hesitation I have decided to take a break from it. Whether it is 3 months, 6 months or longer I dont know.  But at the moment the most important thing in life is my children and I have been busy with them and their schooling and running them around with their job commitments. And over the next few months that is expected to get a lot more busier. I am truly sorry if this is an inconvenience to anyone. But I need to do this for my own sanity.

I want to thank you all for your support and loyalty over the last 6.5 years. I couldn't of done it without all of you.  I love you all dearly as you are family to me. 

The Bundy's club group listed a number of musicians, including Rosedrop Rust, OhMy Kidd, and Beth Odets. Cellandra Zon, whom once helped run "The Pocket," and Whelan Ferris, whom ran the Australia sim until it closed, were also in the club group.

B&Bs Australian Club Closes

Longtime readers may recall B&Bs, the outdoor club of Australian resident Bundy Xue, which has taken part in the yearly Jamm for Genes fundraiser for genetic illnesses. Unfortunately, the club has seen it's last hurrah. Netera Landar recently wrote that the club has closed.

Bundy and her late real-life and Second Life parnter Benethar started the club about four and a half years ago. It held events twice a week on Sundays and Wednesdays until about a year ago when it became Sundays only.

“B&B’s started out as Benethar’s and my baby and over the last 4 ½ years it has grown up," Bundy was quoted as saying, "I’ll miss this place and it’s going to be heartbreaking to pack up the pieces.”

Bundy has plans to reduce her land area and build a new club with a Mayan/Aztec/Incan theme.

"Jamm For Genes" Raises Over Half a Million Lindens

Late Sunday evening at the Vahalla sim, the "Jamm for Genes" reached it's goal. Just after 11PM as musician OhMy Kidd was playing on stage along with Sariane Sands, the total amount raised for the charity for the Children's Medical Research Institute passed the half million Linden mark. The moment was marked with much cheers and applause.

There was also a bit of joking. "I'm sooo tired," Cellandra Zon of The Pocket commented, "and I didn't stay up as much as Bundy did." Bundy Xue of B&Bs just laughed, "Cell, it makes it worth it to go without sleep." The two girls huged one another, Bundy commenting, "Oh emm gee, I am not tired now, I am wide awake."


As the last hour of the fundraiser that had gone on since Friday went on, people were saying goodnight and congratulating one another, "It's been an awesome weekend." "Congratulations to everyone involved." Checking the next day, the total raised was over 530,000 Lindens.

"Thank you for your gene-erous contribution."
