DJ World - 4th Anniversary

 
 

Oh what a night it was! What a beautiful, wonderful, laggy and nostalgic night. I haven´t crashed so many times since early in the spring of 2008.

The music was good, people were in a great mood and the chatting in local and IM was funny. Jeff Ellsworth, Ziggy Starsmith, Larz Kaz, Khar Indigo, DJ Insyx, Flad Dagostino, Justin PastorelliFlupke Bekkers, Adonis Lubitsch and Trace Junkers were all there looking hunky as ever - except Khar who was sweet and not hunky at all - together with a lot of avatars I had met in my early days and some I had actually never seen at all. Sasch Petrov, the organizer of the event, was even seen dancing with this awesome Jimmy-hunk I remembered seeing at Second Pride.

Sure there was a bit too much "gesturbating", after all the event was at the Arsenal club in Gay Zone Germany and our German brothers love their gestures as we all know. I only had to mute about three Germans to get a tolerable noise level.

Sadly though the organizers decided to cancel the event after the third or fourth sim-crash, when we had only gotten through half the line-up, but Sarco Halderman had done his set and the time was getting late in real life so I was not too upset.

Sarco´s voice sounded hoarser and sexier than ever, Millimina Salamander and I suspected he had a very bad cold or a throat infection. When I asked him after his set he told me he had been whispering so as not to wake up his man, Harley, who was snoozing away in the next room.

I also enjoyed listening to the music of Sasch Petrov, Ralphy Triellis and Karl Kalchek for the first time, I hope to hear them again in the future.

In short everyone was there - or wished they had been - and some of the straight people too. Both my bosom-buddies sirhc DeSantis and Apmel Goosson made an appearance and even ush Underwood, who set foot on a German sim for the first time ever if I understood correctly.
UPDATE: I just caught this news on the Gay World News blogDue to sim lag issues and because it went offline and restarted each hour… we regrettably had to cancel the DJ Night for today. We hope to have again this great event at a later date. Thanks All for coming !

Fourth Day of Second Pride

As I already told you in the previous post I unfortunately missed Butch´s set at Pride. That was going to be the centerpiece of my post about Second Pride today I had decided, well here come "plan B".

When I got to the party area yesterday there was an event running sponsored by GayZone (a German club in SecondLife), the DJ was Wuzz Minotaur.

As I used to visit Gay Zone Germany a lot when I knew Drizz I looked around to see if there were any familiar names and faces in the crowd. Would you actually believe it, there was not a single friend of mine there. Where have all my Germans gone?

I spotted a few familiar faces though, people from the present and previous boards of SecondLife, like Nanaki Raymaker and Zack Premminger, and two bloggers that I have never actually met in-world earlier, Ziggy Starsmith (with the blog Ziggy on the Edge) and Jeff Ellsworth (with the blog Jeff Ellsworth - Witnessing A Second Life).

The music was good but the crowd was mainly silent, except for a short dialog I had with some members of a group I quickly named "The quadruplets". They were dancing in sync of course!

There was a handsome guy named Handsome and a bitchy little bugger named AngelOf. This is our short conversation, I have deleted the surnames. 

[14:29]  Bock: ...and I must say, you ARE Handsome ;)
[14:29]  Handsome: I know Bock - hehehe
[14:29]  AngelOf: --o.0-- HeheHe *o*
[14:29]  Bock: pffft it comes easy in SL ;)
[14:30]  AngelOf: its not shown at you 
[14:30]  Bock: haha thanks
[14:30]  Handsome: not as easy - look around Bock - lol

Soon after that the quadruplets left without goodbyes, or not that I noticed. 

I am still wondering if the AngelOf guy really meant to be abusive (not all Germans are good at foreign languages) with his remark to me and how he got into the conversation in the first place. 

Pffft I am being too touchy, lets drop it! But I am so going to ask my BIL to take me out for a total makeover a.s.a.p. Who wants to be abused like this in public chat ever again! 

Well I became friends with Ziggy and thats the main thing to remember about this evening, not that snotty little two year old.
