Ari's Rezzday

One person Deaflegacy looks up to is Ari (arisia.vita). A pianist in Second Life, he plays in Cape Heron, Creations for Parkinson's, and other places. The musician recently reached a milestone: his tenth rezzday. He would perform at Perfect Paradise that day, and Deaflegacy was among those who dropped by to both listen to his music, and wish him a happy rezzday.

Ari's Park in Cape Heron

Ari (Arisia Vita) is one of Deaflegacy's favorite people to write about. She didn't expect to be writing about him again so soon, but he was recently honored in Cape Heron with a park for him by an anonymous donor where he can play music. So once again, she picked up her pen to get the story.
