The Amacci Party

Yesterday it was time for my buddy Butch Diavolo to DJ at the Amacci Party at Second Pride. I had been looking forward to it ever since Butch told me he would be playing a set at Pride.

Butch started out hard and then he kept nailing it in deeper with every song he played. I thought he had an exceptionally good evening, but when I asked him afterwards how he felt about the set he said it had felt "OK". I told him he was silly and should stop bashing himself. The man was in all likelihood just exhausted after having played two sets back.to-back.

The fast working charmer I had met also came to the party. We had a long and pleasant conversation - or so I thought. However, I must have said or done something wrong because when I got online again later he had dissolved our friendship. "Well, easy come, easy go", I thought to myself even if it saddened me a little, but it really is better if people pull out sooner than later from something they do not believe they will enjoy.

I feel a bit ashamed writing this on the blog, and may possibly remove it at a later time. But as I have said many times before, this blog is mainly written as a journal for myself accounting what I experience in any of my lifes. I do not like failing at something and this was obviously something I did not handle well. As it is a learning experience it belongs here so I can remember it and learn from it in future relationships.

Lo Stallone Italiano

Daimon, Heloq and Dodo

DJ Heloq Tomsen is a rather new acquaintance to me. although he has been around for a long time. I cannot understand how I can have missed him until two nights ago, but there it is - I did. 

I enjoy his style and his music very much. Heloq has a very calm and assertive manner with lots of charm and humor, it's very "macho" but in an unobtrusive way. In my mind I like to think of him as "the Italian stallion", hence the title of this post.

Guyke, I, Kharissa & Butch

My son Guyke and my buddy Butch accompanied me to the set. The three of us and the rest of the audience had a great time during the two hours the set lasted.

DJ Ralphie @ Camelot

I am too tired to write much about Ralphie's set at Camelot, but it was fun! Mostly because of all the Instant Message sessions I was in with old and brand new friends.

The Rhino Writers Broadcasting Party

SL Live Radio broadcast party at the Rhino Writers pavilion at SL10B can only be characterized as a thundering success.

DJ's Johny Alderton and Heloq Tomsen kept all of us in an excellent mood with their music and chat. The crowd was lively and and in excellent spirits so we all had a good time. Among other things I learned that Heloq is from Italy and that his name is pronounced "Ghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-elo-kkkk".

Butch, myself & Guyke

From a strictly personal point of view there were a few added benefits and some drawbacks, which I will list for you here (What is it with me and lists these days, this must be the tenth in just a few days..?)

Benefits

1. I got to meet Dodo, my most dedicated reader (which was proven by the fact that he was the only one who had read my post on saggy pants)
2. Vampi Twine-DeSantis-McMillan-McMillan (honorary) was there, I had not met her in a long time.
3. Bastien Berboral kindly shared a few  landmarks to shops I had never heard of after showing me pics of their awesome clothing lines.

Drawbacks

1. My son told me that, "Face lights are so 80's!" (I am so not going to share my new landmarks with him.)
2. My friend Butch told me that my beautiful skin is "OLD!". If I had newer skin I would not need face lights, was his reasoning.

Well I guess that's what you have family and friends for, to tell you the awful truth when you need to hear it. The only problems are that I feel ugly without the face light - as the old-timer that I am - and I love my skin. Oh well, maybe I do need to update my appearances, but it will be a struggle.... 

My Only Faithful Reader

Dodo

Meet Dodo, dear readers  he proved today that he is the O-N-L-Y faithful reader of Bock in SecondLife!

It was great meeting you at the Rhino Writers live broadcast today, Dodo.  Please, do not be a stranger, I hope to see you again soon.

DJ Sarco´s Early Morning At Pride

Sarco Halderman is an old time friend of mine, I first made his acquaintance in 2007, when I started "stalking" my Ars around in SecondLife.

Sarco is one of the best DJ´s SecondLife has to offer, and he showed that at his set between 3-5 AM SLT. The crowd may not have been large but the quality of the music was still the best - as always.
