Well…I have the answer direct from the avatars text: (Thanks Lisa!!)
Hi Cylindrian! Looking forward to the show tonight!
I wanted to tell you a little more about Wishfest since you were asking
about it, and, well, it’s not exactly obvious what’s goin on over there on
Solaris
II.
The idea is something we came up with a couple weekends ago called a
“Flash Festival.” Similar to the Flash Mobs of Real Life,
a Flash Festival is an ad hoc DIY combination of music, dance, film and
art festivals all in one — for as long as it lasts!
We asked ourselves: “What if we made a big art installation, with a main
floor, three stages, and also an underground cavernous area (The Rabbit
Hole), where anyone could stake out a little area and set up a display.
Then we thought we’d take it a step further: what if we set up each stage
with it’s own media url, and each with its own set of video screens, and
wrote some code to enable anyone that belonged to our “Wishfest
Performers” group to jump on stage, load in their stream, and just start
playing.
If all your friends sign up for the “Wishfest 1.0″ group - you can send a
notice to them to let them know you’re onstage and playing (or in advance
to let them know when you will be going on.
Yes film makers, djs, and video artists, you can invite some friends and
load in your pre-existing video/media streams, if you wish. It will work
fine! Have a party - Throw a Rave! This island should be able to hold a
lot of people. We made it sturdy with lots of Wishfarmer love.
So teleport
to Wishfest on Solaris II and check out Cylindrian at 7pm, April 10,
2008 — to kind of kick of this first of its kind “Flash Festival” –

Xiao, who whipped this island up on a Saturday afternoon, after a
brainstorming session with myself and Wishfarmer Gary Bukowski.
If anyone has any questions, or tech issues, comments or ANYTHING - IM
Haley Bailey in world or email Haley Bailey/Lisa Rein at

Hey there…WISHFEST 1.0 on one of the coolest and oddest locations EVER!!
I have been falling into the rabbit hole all day today and loving it. The artwork on display so far is really quite cool and I can’t help but feel like I’ve entered the world of TRON in this place.
Thanks to Haley Bailey (read her blog by clicking on her name) for setting this Art and Music Fest up!
Join me Thursday night April 10th 7pmSLT for some music amid the grid on Solaris II.
GET INVOLVED!!
PERFORMERS:
If you’d like to perform, just drop me, Haley Bailey, an IM, and I’ll send you an invite to be in the “Wishfest Performers” group.
Then you can jump on stage and type “/777″ + the url of your stream.
You will be piped in to the sound system and are free to perform LIVE!
**FYI this sim is directly next to the sim where Angel Dorei Museum is located where I played the Autism Experience on Monday night. Quite cool how all these places are so nearby.**
Tonight: April 7th: 5pmSLT I’ll be performing at this event. Please just click the picture to teleport to the location. I am debuting two songs inspired directly from Mariposa’s personal experiences raising an autistic child. The songs are entitled:
From Mariposa Upshaw of Angel Dorei Museum:
To fully and accurately describe the experience of autism would be nearly impossible..but i urge you to view the new exhibition at Angel Dorei and see the interpretations thru art by Ro Gastel, Blue Tsuki, Elros Tumominen, Esch Snoats, Filthy Fluno, Gracie Kendal, Ianlee Patton, Michelle Babii, Calli Chirstensen, Elorian Ayres, Charlot Dickens, Enali Haller, Sarah Graff and Cheen Pitney - more works by more artists will be added.

Auction Sunday April 27th - all proceeds from auction and donations will benefit SL sims/groups Brigadoon Explorers - Dreams Sim, Virtual Ability, Inc./Heron Sanctuary and the Autistic Liberation Front - Autism Museum.
These groups provide support, a safe haven, education and technological assistance to residents on the autiism spectrum.
This show is dedicated to my RL son, in world Algernon Kardex, an aspie, who is my inspiration in so many ways, and to all the unique individuals on the autism spectrum.
Hi there….Music Hyun sent me this article she wrote for SLNN today:
AND
Haley Bailey took some video of the show too:

Don’t forget about this show.
I am purposefully not doing many shows this week as I have been rehearsing for a special Relay for Life performance on Sunday, March 30th and prepping for tonights’ show at Blue Fusion. The show tonight is important to me, because its part of a Professional Staffing Company, Kelly Service’s, attempt at making a real life difference in people’s lives through second life by providing people with an opportunity to find employment. The use of a virtual world for Job Placement, in my mind, is fascinating and I love the creative use of the platform to do so.
They are supportive of live music and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be included in their “roster”.
Here’s the advert from the previous blog entry with links to get to the show, Kelly Services’ Sim in SL, and their website talking about their presence in SL.
Thanks to Holli Hollwood of Blue Fusion for this opportunity.

A few days ago I received a message from a fan in Second Life stating that they attempted to download my song, “Float Away” from iTunes. Instead, they received, “The Demon Song”. I went and checked various other sites and they have all mixed up these two songs.
The mp3’s have been available for download for over 6 months and this is the first time anyone has expressed a complaint. I asure you that I am researching the problem and hopefully will have it fixed very soon.
If you would prefer to receive a hard copy CD, please feel free to purchase from CD BABY: http://cdbaby.net/gracebuford2 They should have new copies in by Tuesday, March 25th.
Or…the first 200 CDs sold and purchased from me directly from my Myspace Page (using Paypal) will be signed and if this purchase is a gift and you have a special message that you’d like me to include, please state that in description portion of the order form on paypal. I spent a bit more money on this CD from DiscMakers mainly to compensate for losing so much inventory in all my travels because of silly jewel cases breaking. The new design is called an Eco-Wallet. Thanks again to my good buddy, Dave Spencer for doing all the graphic design-work on the re-print.
