Monkey Business in Second Life(tm)

August 15, 2008 at 8:31 am (Community, Live Music, Marketing, Musicians) (, , , , , )

You never know what kind of response a simple little comment made during a show will illicit. Crap Mariner is by far one of the most creative avatars I’ve met on my journey through  Second Life.

Wednesday night at Blue Fusion, I was performing my original song, Phoenix Rising. which is based on my own experience with stage fright, insecurity, and depression that kept me from performing music in public for over 10 years.
It was not until the passion for music consumed those things that kept me from doing what I longed to do…which is what I am making happen now. I still fight that battle…but I won’t let it keep me from pressing on.
There’s one section of the song, in my head, I hear carnival sounds or a hurdy gurdy-esque instrument playing…I happened to mention it during one of my broadcasts in Second Life(tm) and sure enough…Crap Mariner changed his robot avatar into a Monkey. You never know what kind of response you’ll get from a simple comment during a show…LOVE IT!! Stop by his blog to SEE the pic!! FUNNY stuff right thar!

SL PeaceFest Blog

**I will be performing at PeaceFest ‘08 at two separate times and locations on Sunday Aug 17th:

Hope to see some varying faces at these concerts as we all come together to raise funds for many charities, UNICEF, Amnesty International, One.org…just to name a few. Check the SL PeaceFest Blog for updated numbers of total donations. It’s an exciting thing to see the community coming together as it does for festivals such as this one. Another thing that makes SL such a great place.

Please be sure to submit your photo’s of performances to my Cylindrian Flickr Group with the Date and Location SLurl of the events, this way if people like the ambience or look of the establishment, they’ll know where it is and how to get there….and also…it helps me remember the moment too. Being that I perform so much in so many different places, its so nice to have that log. Thank you to all who post photo’s. It really means so much to me that you take the time to do so.

HOP ON THE PEACE TRAIN – DESTINATION PEACE

SL PEACEFEST ‘08, a benefit event for worldwide peace, will take place on August 15th, 16th and 17th of 2008. Starting at 10AM SLT on the 15th and ending at 11:59 PM on the 17th and covering more than 10 sims this festival will feature live music, theatre and dance performances, art exhibitions, panel discussions and a rally at the Peace Park in SL Central Park. Master schedules for these exciting events will be posted at http://www.slpeacetrain.org

SL PEACEFEST ‘08 is a global, interfaith, cross-cultural effort to create lasting peace through mobilizing support and learning for RL Peace organizations. All proceeds from SL PEACEFEST ‘08 will go to benefit Amnesty International, UNICEF, World Peace Organization, World Council On Religions & Peace, Kids for Peace, and One.org.

This event represents a true cross-over from RL to SL and back again as we bring RL speakers in-world to discuss peace related initiatives in our global open and free SL forum. Musicians and speakers will be streamed in SL while panel discussions and performances are streamed back out.

Comments and suggestions are welcome (please send in notecard form). Planning meetings are currently in progress. If you are interested in this project, please consider donating some of your time and effort. Our group is the Peace Train and this is the first of what we hope will be many successful SL events in the cause of peace.

This is more than an event, it’s a journey….destination peace!
