The PBC Black History Museum

 

At the Premier Business Center, Jarden Alexis has set up a Black History Museum to honor the history of Black Americans. There were a number of people over the course of American history mentioned. The Newser dropped by to have a look. 

 

Read more in Places. 

In Brief ...

 

There's a lot going on, and only a little time to write. So, some things that would otherwise have been reported on earlier will have to wait for a larger article. For now ...

 

There's been a lot of talk about Discord Age Verification, and more than a little suspicion. That Discord lost data some months ago in a hack has not helped with peoples' confidence, and a number are talking about jumping ship and heading to another platform. 

 

The Premier Business Center has a Black History Museum. There was a grand opening party on Sunday February 8. The museum honors a number of Black Americans from musicians, civil rights activists, politicians, scientists, inventors, and others. 

 

And of course the mystery of the three strange boulders.

 

These and other stories when we have time to write.  

A Busy Weekend

 

Quite a bit happened over the weekend. There was the Relay for Life's official season Kickoff (above).  There were also several other Relay events, such as the Battle of the DJs hosted by the Sugar Skols. There was the monthly HFOT benefit concert at Veterans Isle. There was the grand opening of the Black History Month exhibition at the PBC. There was the opening of Cafe Lilardo, and more. 

 

Read more about these events as we have time to write about them.

Cartoon of The Day

 

 Taken at the PBC "Fright Fest." This lady's outfit was, well, quite shocking.

SL Video: PBC Literary Event :"The Corsean Encounter" by Murray M Lee/Bixyl Shuftan

 

Readers likely remember the "Corsean Encounter" book event at the Premier Business Center on August 30.   Tara (ArtemisFlidais) would work on a video of the event. As I was speaking in text, which is hard to see in the video, she used a computer-generated voice, one that sounds better than I actually do (click here if the image doesn't play). 

 

At The PBC Fright Fest Kickoff

 

 Wednesday October 15 was the first day of the "Fright Fest" at the Premier Business Center. At 4 PM, there were dozens there, most in costumes and dancing away to the music. 

 

 Jarden Alexis, the owner of the PBC, was there in a striped outfit and makeup. The DJ was encouraging the crowd over the airwaves while dancing away in a green Power Rangers costume.

 

 There were costumes of all kinds. 

 

 That wouldn't be the only day of the Fright Fest. It's going on again today, Friday Oct 17, at 4PM, as well as Oct 19, 23, and 30. Between parties, one can explore around the haunted town, including an escape room.

The "Corsean Encounter" Book Event

 

A few weeks ago, Jarden Alexis' Premier Business Center held a "Meet The Author" event. But this wasn't just any writer.  This was the editor and main writer of the SL Newser, yours truly, about the recently published exciting new science-fiction tale: "The Corsean Encounter." So what went on, and what did yours truly have to say?

 

Read the story in Events.  

 

The "Corsean Encounter" Book Event

 

 Saturday August 30 at Noon SL time was the "Meet the Author" event at the Premier Business Center, organized by Jarden Alexis, to help publicize the novel I wrote a few months ago, "The Corsean Encounter." About thirty people showed up to hear me talk about the novel, then after the discussion we went to the party room where DJ Nydia played some tunes. 

 

So far, the event has worked with sales going up. And more people are checking out the Newser lately as well (more on that later). We'll have some more pictures up soon.

Sneak Peek: Planning With The PBC

 

 Jarden Alexis and I have been planning a little something at the Premier Business Center. So what is it and when will it be? We'll let you know soon. 

 

Stay tuned for more information.

Cartoon of The Day: Happy St. Patrick's Day

 

 

 Taken at the International Women's Day Conference at the PBC. This lady was green for the performance that day. But for St. Patricks, I could think of a few other possibilities.
