Annoucement: T1 Radio 20th Anniversary Party Sunday June 29

 

T1RADIO CELEBRATES TWO DECADES ON AIR
Second Life’s First and Oldest Classic Rock Stream Turns 20
With A L$20,000 Loyal Listener Contest!

When Trader Whiplash learned of the plans to close La Vie en Rose and take Radio dAlliez off the air on June 18, 2005, he decided Second Life needed the venue to remain open. The manager of Alliez Mysterio’s club, located on Rue d’Alliez (one of the first private regions in SL), Trader, who was also head DJ and program manager for Radio dAlliez, decided to bring his own stream, T1Radio, on air full time and keep the club open.  Along with Nuala Maracas and later Madelyn Majestic they continued to provide an alternative to the electronic club mix music prevalent in Second Life’s earliest days.

T1Radio would grow into one of the best-known music streams in Second Life. T1 also became the sound of Relay For Life (from 2006 to 2024), the Spoonful Of Sugar Festival and several other mega-events.  Affectionately known as ‘The T’, it operates from LEGENDS Classic Rock in Arinultra Cay. (Itself one of the oldest continuously operated venues on the grid.)

To celebrate the milestone anniversary T1will be holding a Homecoming Party on Sunday June 29th. T1Radio listeners are invited to attend the event at LEGENDS and to bring their oldest snapshot or texture of themselves at a T1Radio event. The attendee who provides the OLDEST photo will win $L20,000.

To enter the contest simply find your oldest photo of yourself at La Vie en Rose, The Warehouse or Chaps, LEGENDS or any other T1 locales in Rue d’Alliez or Arinultra Cay or other T1Radio event. Take a Gyazo of the picture including the data found at the top, showing the SLURL and DATE and the “Properties” menu from Inventory. The picture must include your avatar and an easily identifiable T1Radio venue feature, signage or logo. Information on how to submit the Gyazo will be provided at the Party. You Must attend the event on June 29th to enter and be present at the time of the winner announcement to win.

Today, T1Radio continues to run 24/7, providing a music mix of Classic Rock, blues, pop, modern country and more. The On-Air Staff of Trader, Nuala, Madelyn Majestic, Fuzzball Ortega and Anni Braveheart host dance events each evening from 5pm to 7pm at LEGENDS in Arinultra Cay. You can also listen to the T by placing our stream URL, http://T1Radio.serverroom.us:8242/stream , on your SL property or in your browser, phone, smart speaker or other internet connected device.

  Trader and Nuala and the entire air and production staff at T1Radio look forward to seeing all our friends, old as well as new, as we celebrate our 20th anniversary! We are sure there will be some great stories and reminiscences to share!

"Hard Hat" Birthday Party at Arinultra Cay

On Sunday August 16, a party was held at the Arinultra Cay sim. The occasion, the real-life birthday of Nuala Maracas, one of the co-captains of the Relay Rockers team for the Relay for Life of Second Life.

Trader Whiplash-Ballinger, also of the Relay Rockers, DJed the music for the party. Hard hats were passed around, and there were a number of well-wishers from others in the Relay, such as some of the "Roos With a Dream" team whom danced in a line next to the birthday cake display.

The party was held in a pier in the middle of a lake, away from the beach. Trader would say that the sim had been undergoing some renovations, the "Legacy" club, which had been the club for T-1 Radio, being no more. During the terraforming of land a "Relay for Life Relic" was discovered some days ago and sent to the Relay museum.

So what will take the place of the "Legacy?" We'll likely know soon.

Go Relay!

Addition: The new club will also be called "The Legacy." But it will be a brand new building.  The "Grand Re-Opening" party will be on Wednesday September 16

Trader Whiplash Diagnosed With Cancer

For one noted Relayer, Trader Whiplash of T1 Radio and the Relay Rockers team, the fight against cancer just turned personal. Yesterday on the Relay Rocker's blog, he announced he had been diagnosed with bladder cancer.

Now is the time when we say the ‘OMGs’ and ‘OH I’m so sorrys’ and ‘Oh I will Pray for Yous’ right?

NO IT IS NOT

Now is when we as ACS Volunteers, who have grown from Cure Cancer Do Gooders of RFL 2005, turn into a vibrant and passionate Army who go forward armed with the tools and information that Saves Lives Celebrates Lives and Leads the Fight For a World Without Cancer. 

Now is the time when we say We’ve got you back! 

We’ve got a plan for this! 

We can Treat This!

WE WILL BEAT THIS!

And that is just what my oncologist said this afternoon.  The man who has treated my leukemia for 16 years looked at me and said “OK, so make an appointment for Friday and lets get the pathology and figure out how we are going to beat this!”

And you know what.. That is just what I am going to do, what he is going to do and what we as a community are going to do.  

And by God THAT is how We Cure Cancer!

In both the Relay for Life Volunteers group in Second Life and their Discord server, there were numerous well-wishes and words of encouragement for Trader. "You got this Trader!!!" "I think cancer got stupid and picked a fight with the wrong person." "Keep fighting cause your not alone."

At The Relay Rap, Relay Weekend

Before the Relay Weekend was officially underway yesterday, there was a special session of the Relay Rap, a broadcasted chat about the Relay for Life in Second Life by T-1 Radio and Trader Whiplash at 7AM. There were a few guests invited to speak, the Giant Snail Races organizer RacerX Gullwing, noted interviewer and informative machinima director Draxtor Despress, and yours truly SL Newser editor and head reporter Bixyl Shuftan

I was asked a few questions, such as a favorite early memory of the Relay for Life in Second Life. What stood out for me was my first good look at the Passionate Redheads team and it's Wild Wild West camp. T-1 Radio's location is in the sci-fi looking area of RFL Victory.

The Opening Ceremonies started at 10AM, and at 11 the Survivors/Caregivers lap, and 12:30 the team lap, and at 2PM the various themed laps. This included a "Game of Thrones" theme for the first time.

The Relay Weekend continues today, so be sure to come by if your computer can handle it.

Scenes From New Year's Eve Events 2018

New Year's Eve is known for it's parties. And Second Life had a number of them around the Grid. Probably the best known was the Prim Drop in Bay City. But not everyone could stay up to see it, and/or people were looking for events before that. Yours truly took a few pictures at several of them.

See the pictures in Events.

Announcements: "Ed and Vic's Big Bash" And "Rockin' New Year's Eve 2018"

Besides the Prim Drop in Bay City, there are other New Year's Eve events. Among them are the following two:

"Ed and Vic's Big Bash" from 2:30 PM SL time to ??? at Quarry Hill (154, 159, 90) in New Babbage.

"Rockin' New Year's Eve 2018" from 6:30PM to 12:30AM SL time at T1Radio / Legends club at Arinultra Pier in Arinultra Cay (196, 34, 27)

Press Release: T1 Radio Changing Its Frequency

After 12 years T1Radio, SL's oldest classic rock radio station, has had to change its URL.
T1's server provider has phased out the use of .us.
As of Saturday August 26 T1Radio is now at http://t1radio.serverroom.net:8242

T1Radio was founded in June 2005 as the successor to Radio dAlliez.  Since 2007 it has been the official broadcaster of the Relay For Life of Second Life and was inducted into the Relay Hall of Honor in 2014.  T1 is also the broadcaster of the AviChoice Awards and is the recipient of more than 2 dozen Avi nominations.  Co-founder Trader Whiplash is the winner of the 2016 AviChoice Favorite Radio DJ.

T1 operates from LEGENDS Classic Rock in Arinultra Cay, where it holds events each evening starting at 5pm SLT.

Listeners can add T1 to their land and media (recommended) settings using the new url, or tune to the station at www.t1radio.com  and with the TuneIn Radio app at   http://tunein.com/radio/T1-Radio-s113797/

Announcement: Why I Relay Recordings

We all have reasons for participating in Relay For Life..  Maybe its in honor of a survivor you know, or in memory of a beloved family member or friend. Perhaps you are a survivor or caregiver wishing to 'give back' or maybe you just want to meet cute guys or gals.

What ever the reason, RFL of SL wants to know why you have decided to join us.

Please make a short recording ( 30-60 seconds Maximum) using the Sounds Recorder on your computer.  Don t worry about quality and Please don't Be shy!

In Conjunction with T1Radio ( http://t1radio.serverroom.us:8242),   we will be playing these recordings on Relay Weekend. The archive of both old and new W-I-R mp3 will be provided to our media partners and other streams and djs and to help us introduce RFL to people all around SL..

Please help us!  Make a recording.  Tell your story!  Help Us Save a Life Today!

Don't worry about quality. Don't Be Shy.  T1Radio's staff will make you sound like a superstar voice talent!  We just need your Recordings!

A Couple of hints to Improve Recording Quality

~ Try to do it in a quiet environment.. its hard to edit out barking dogs, crying kids and begging spouses!
~ Use a headset & Mic if possible
~ Try NOT to Breathe into mic - Keep it just even with lower lip. Cover with a foam ball or Cotton Puff.
~ Turn off SL Sounds and Music
~ Rehearse your words
~ Emotions are fine..  We Encourage them.. For Many, Relay For Life is an Emotional Experience. SHARE THAT!


Everyone can Record from their computers:

Save as wav, WMA, mp3 or AAC,  we can convert it to what we need

Press Release: Relay Rockers "Bid Me Bald"

An Invitation to Bid Me Bald Trader Whiplash
10th Anniversary  -  Relay Rockers Bid Me Bald
 
During the Week of March 6- 15th, I will be participating in the Relay Rockers' 10th Annual BID ME BALD Fundraiser to support The Relay For Life of Second Life & the American Cancer Society.  I would be honored if you would make a donation on my behalf to help.

As a BID ME BALD participant I am offering my hair to help find a Cure For Cancer.         

This is how it works.  On Wed, March 15th  I will be placing a Kiosk at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Arinultra%20Cay/182/24/24,  next to my BID ME BALD Poster.  For each $L5000 donated during the next week I will go without hair 1 Day! On Wed, March 15th @ 4pm  SL time I will be joined at the Barber Chair by my friends and teammates, my Kiosk will be totaled and I will receive my haircut!

I am challenging all my friends to come and donate  to my special kiosk and  BID ME BALD! My Goal is to raise at least $L50,000. (10 days of baldness).  Can I count on you to help me reach my goal?

Please come and help!  We all know that cancer patients have no choice when their hair falls out during treatment, but we do, and through Relay for Life we can do something to help those people, our loved ones and ourselves, by joining together to FIGHT CANCER!

$L1000 equals $4.00!  A Small amount to anyone! Please Consider a Bid of at least that amount, but remember, every single linden makes a difference!

                                            Please accept my Challenge and
                                                           BID ME BALD!!!
                                       
Until There's A Cure,
Trader

*Bid Me Bald recognizes, with honor and respect,  those for whom the choice was made, not by themselves, but by Chemo and other cancer treatments. 

We have the choice and we choose to sacrifice our hair to honor these Survivors and to help the American Cancer Society find ways to fight cancer, support survivors and their caregivers and help us all celebrate more birthdays.*
