SP Annual Membership Meeting 2013

The annual Second Pride membership meeting was held yesterday. It was a well visited meeting that was conducted in an orderly fashion. Extra seats had to rezzed as more members than expected turned up.

My pictures are all  taken at an early time in the proceedings,
I should think we were twice as many when the meeting ended.

*Bock McMillan runs around in circles while flapping his arms. A shrill voice shouts "Oh My God" repeatedly and in local chat you read: "OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

The reasons for this reaction are twofold. Firstly for having missed a blog post that my dear buddy Ziggy Starsmith posted on his blog yesterday announcing that he and his husband in first life Larz Kas celebrated their twentieth anniversary, Ziggy On The Edge Of Second Life: My 20th Anniversary In Real Life: Larz Kas and Ziggy Starsmith. Secondly because I have formerly claimed to be the most patient man in both worlds (because everyone always keep telling me so). However, I realized that I must officially concede to having been defeated for the title by Larz Kas.

Lars has successfully survived living with the rebellious and ranting Ziggy for the last 20 years! Admittedly Ziggy is a kind, loving and wildly charming man, but Larz must still truly be the most patient man in both lives!

My sincere congratulations to both of you men for the first twenty years and my very best wishes for the next twenty!

(/dramaorg is the trigger you type in local chat to set off the gesture I am describing in the beginning of this post.)

Two Hot Blonds and Hundreds of Birds

I had never been to my buddy Ziggy´s new home since he moved recently, so I decided to crash him today. Due to past unfortunate and rather embarrassing experiences, I first checked the World Map to make certain that he wasn't "entertaining".

Ziggy shares the sim with two buddies, the partners Larz Kaz and Aeschylus Shepherd, but has his own parcel. The parcel is a beautiful tropical paradise with about 496 colorful birds all over the place and some huge turtles too and a lot of other creatures too I suspect although I did not spot them. It is a truly amazing place and very different from Ziggy's previous home in Second Norway. 

After Ziggy had shown me around his new house and the parcel we sat down by the fire for a nice chat. I was too lazy to plug in the voice so we talked in local chat for awhile before the lateness of the hour caught up with me and I had to log off to prepare for bed. 

One of the wonderful things Ziggy had laying on the beach was a huge tree trunk which was stacked with many great poses that I tried out and a lot that I did not even dare to try. The  tree was made by the famous and imaginative creator Regi Yifu of Regimade. The trunk was a complete beach home in itself and - as those who know Regi's work must already suspect - a sex-gen plaything also. We did not try any of those poses though, knowing Regi's work I am however certain that they are both sublime and thrilling.

Talking with Dej

Yesterday I had a good and long talk with my brother in-law Dejerrity about things that are important to both of us. I love the fact that I can always rely on Dej´s honesty and love. The beautiful man is straightforward, caring and considerate.

The conversation gave me much to think about.

Later in the evening i dropped in for a short while at the surprise party for Larz Kas in celebration of his first life birthday. Pictures from the party can be seen at my son in-law Ziggy Starsmith´s blog post Larz Kas Birthday at Resurrected Ironworks Club.

The Splash Party with DJ Regi

After fiddling unsuccessfully with the settings on my viewer (Linden Lab´s Viewer 3) for about an hour and a half to get it to play Birdcage for me, I finally gave up.

At the end I reached so far that the viewer told me it was playing Media but I still could not see or hear anything. I know that it is way easier on the Firestorm viewer, because Media has a button of its own there, but that viewer is too heavy and slow for my purposes, and it´s overloaded with shit I do not need or want.

Searching for something else to do I saw that the Second Pride Splash Party was on, so I decided to go there with my music turned down very low - and I do not regret it because the place was filled with Ziggy Starsmith, Levi Ewing, Larz Kaz and a lot of other of SecondLife´s hunkiest male avatars and a few of the nicest female ones too, like Kharissa Indigo and Tootsie Nootan.

The motto for the party was "as bare as you dare, but no erections allowed" which, as I told Ziggy, was the first request I heard of that is actually easier to accomplish in SecondLife than in first life.

SP2012 - Day 1

The first day of Second Pride 2012 I visited the minor party, which had a line-up of great DJs, starting with DJ Thorn (Andel), followed by DJ ItalianBear and finishing with DJ InsyX (Piranha).

People were coming and going the whole evening, but mostly it was a good sized crowd of men and women throughout the evening. Some old friends and acquaintances and some new. Most seemed happy to be there and the talk in local chat was really fun and flowing. Here are some pictures from the event.

A Whole Lotta´ Kisses

The long awaited day was finally here, it was time for the second annual International Kiss-A-Swede Day in SecondLife!

You can send out invitations, but if you don´t ask for R.S.V.P´s you never know how many may turn up. I knew from the start that it was an awkward day and time for many non-Europeans. After all the Kiss-A-Swede Day hasn't been made a holiday in most other parts of the world, not yet.

Too my great pleasure many friends and other people did come to the event and quite a few from the American continent too. Actually they came in such droves that I wore out my kissing-HUD. It simply stopped working halfway through the event. Luckily for me many of the potential kissers had HUD´s of their own.

I would like to than all for who came to join in the fun and especially FelineFemme, who was an amazing DJ at the event, and my sexy buddy Butch Diavolo, who helped me out with the hosting.

Here are some pictures from the event, please enjoy! ... I should also have some of me kissing with my CTO Vampi Twine and with Helene Dragone and Fia Wycliffe, but somehow I cannot find them. (I was too busy focusing on my own kissing, but I heard and saw quite a few others going at it on their own - hopefully I will be able to link to other blogs later.). As always you can click the pictures to see them enlarged.

The Hollywood Style Party

The birthday boys, Ziggy & Holter

When the new lovers Ziggy and Holter discovered that both of them had a first life 24th birthday coming up they decided to throw a bash in their new house on the Pure sim.

Unfortunately I arrived a little late due to teleportation issues but I understand the party started as it was meant to go on, with the two birthday studs arriving to the party on their Harley Davidson motorbikes and crashing them both into the swimming pool. What a start and the party escalated from there.

Lars Kaz and DJ Shep

DJ Shep supplied the great music with his hunk Larz Kaz as a beautiful appendage.

Scott and Garcin in the back with Thorn and Hurtful in front

As could be expected the supply of beautiful gay men was abundant and there were even three good looking women present.

People came and went and came back all the time I was there so its rather difficult to say how many where there.

Regi Yifu always stylish

Alas I could not stay longer than midnight (my time) as I was working the day after, but I suspect that more guys came in after I had left.

I had a really fun time and am sure that goes for the others there also.
