The Swedish Invasion Adhoc Reunion

Yesterday evening I got a surprising teleport offer from Ambrooshia. The surprise was that she more or less left SecondLife a couple of years ago and has only been back at infrequent intervals.

Well, as my hubby wasn't online yet and I had nothing better to do, I took the teleport and landed in a gathering of avatars from the period of the big Swedish SL-Invasion in the spring of 2007.

At that time there was an article in the largest Swedish news paper about SecondLife and the Swedish Institute had decided to open a virtual Swedish Embassy in SecondLife that was going to be inaugurated by the Swedish foreign minister at the time, Carl Bildt.

Those of the avatars that don't still regularly come into SecondLife seemed to decide on coming back for regular reunions every Monday at 21.00 C.E.T. (i.e 9 PM C.E.T. or 12 PM SLT)

The Change


THE CHANGE, is a rock opera created for the metaverse through months of collaboration by an international team.

Sundays at 1pm SLT at Benvolio (SLurl) 

The CHANGE is about the huge challenge and choice facing our world - will we continue the way we are to one future - with the world destroyed or change direction?

The show uses symbolic imagery. The audience is led by a dark and a light shaman into alternative futures. We voyage into other realities -  into the distant future and into the distant past.

We face the questions - what have we done? Is it too late? Shall we awake or shall we die? Answer the questions for yourself when you have seen this ambitious original creative show

The CHANGE is part of the Intergrid Metaverse Arts Biennial (Url). The Biennial Website will show all the events as the full programme develops on the different grids.

The festival celebrates the emerging fantastical and creative worlds of virtual reality. In the hyper gridded metaverse new worlds spring into being, each with its creators and arts. Already avatars can travel between some of these worlds. The IMAB festival calls for all grids to provide hypergrid freedom for our virtual selves to leap world to world! Let the citizens of the metaverse explore, encounter, create and express themselves!

junivers Stockholm Serves 190 Meals

 Did you know that for L$ 100 one can give a child a meal in Kenya? Well, that´s what I learned yesterday while enjoying the wonderful music of junivers Stockholm.

I had a great time, even if I made the faux pas of breaking the dress code that had been requested by the organizer of "Feed A Smile" by turning up at the fundraiser not dressed in white.
Well, I didn't know there was a dress code and that´s my poor excuse. Who cares really, because while I was there we saw junivers prepare 190 meals for the charity and that was the important thing!

Now and then juni plays live. He works with The Imaginals, led by Medora Chevalier (choreographer & lyricist)  performing "Follow the Light" and "The Dance of Life".

During 2012 a new show with CARP - The Change -is opening.
juni has a wide range of styles, some with vocals and some instrumental."

At "The Viking Gods"

Yesterday was the all-worlds premiere of the music and dance show "The Viking Gods", written, produced, directed and starred by Ewa Aska, owner of the Gimle Theater on Yadkin sim. As you may have noticed I was asked to co-host the event with the amazing Svessa Hax-Beornsen.
To prevent lag the number of avatars on the sim was limited to 40 guests and the production team of ten avatars, including your truly and my wife-for-a-day Iendi Laville. As I was extremely busy with my chores before and during the show I did not have much time for taking pictures. I had also been assigned the arduous task of keeping a close eye on the honored guest Apmel Goosson, to see to it that he kept his clothes on. My burden was lightened a bit by the presence of Millimina Salamander during the greater part of the show (because Apmel usually behaves when my sister is around).
All the Swedish and International glitterati had squeezed into the sim, among them junivers Stockholm and his sweet partner Medora Chevallier.

After the show I was able to take some pictures while Apollon Allen supplied us with music for the dances.

Ohh What a Night..



Starting of with the opening of Iendi´s and Apollon´s OneLove (with some of the hottest women in SecondLife) and ending with Eddi´s and Jago´s second anniversary party (with some of SecondLife´s hottest men). I danced, danced and danced...

Well I know I sat through the wonderful show that junivers Stockholm and his team of beautiful women gave us together with the firemasters extraordinaire Jannne Janus and Ambrooshia DeCuir, but that was not for long.

It was during the amazing light show that I got this picture from Lelle Kidd ... proving once again that I don´t always look as hot and cute as I think I do....


But I felt a little better when I returned his favor with this snapshot of him.

Which goes to prove that you only know what you see on your own screen, others may see it in a completely different way!

All in all, I had a great time last night. Thanks everyone for making it heavenly! 

"I could have danced all night!
I could have danced all night!
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things I've never done before.
I'll never know 


What made it so exciting.
Why all at once my heart took flight.
I only know when he
Began to dance with me.
I could have danced, danced danced all night!"
 


P.S. HELL YEAH! I did try out dancing on the bar at the new Grenouille Inn, and I can attest to the fact that it is quite safe!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh en sån kväll, en sån underbar kväll...

...som de kallar "splendida serata" och då är det naturligtvis Nationaldagsfirandet på den svenska Ambassaden i SL jag talar om!

Festligt, folkligt och absolut fullsatt!!! Liksom på alla de bättre fester jag har varit på i SL kraschade simen, men det gjorde absolut inte saken sämre.

Frostland var underbar som alltid, Bara var enastående som alltid, junivers och hans dansare var fantastiska som alltid, dronningen (PetGirl) var lysande som alltid, PJ var härlig som alltid, Chickendales var ljuvliga som alltid och alla andra som var där var på ett satans gott humör och soliga.

KVÄLLEN VAR KORT SAGT ÖVERHÄRLIG!!!

Till råga på allt vann jag Svenska Institutets specialpris för "sexigaste och mest kreativa avatar i blå gult", tror jag det var (men minnet är lite lite dimmigt just där). Bild kommer så fort jag hittar någonstans jag kan stjäla den på någons blogg eller om någon vänlig själ skickar den till mig.


Stöldgods från "Mer eller mindre KRANFEL", tack Vesper!


Stöldgods från "Blanche´s arena", tack Blanche!
(Taget på Måndagsbörsen dvs. dagen efter Nationaldagen, men jag hade inte orkat klä om...)
Jag har sett att några har klagat på lag, men vad väntar man sig egentligen när man beger sig till ett evenemang som lockar fler än 80 avatarer i nästan två timmar? Jo visst, blir det en del följdproblem av lag som gör livet besvärligt men vad fan gör det. Stå stilla - om du kan - och ha kul säger jag!!!

Redan som noob i SL kläckte jag 2007 den devis som sedan alltid följt mig i dylika sammanhang "Lag is a state of mind, don´t blame the Lindens!". Med detta menar jag ungefär det samma som "Klaga inte över mörkret, tänd ett ljus istället" med tillägget "...och skapa inte problem och otrivsel omkring er genom att gnälla över något som ingen kan göra något åt, i vart fall inte just då".

Jag har också förstått att några klagade på att de inte kom in på simen, men herredjävlar vilket naturreservat kommer de ifrån? Är det fullt så är det fullt, skyll dig själv och kom i tid nästa gång!!!

Tack Eventgruppen, Svenska Instiutet och Swedish People in SL!!!

Ett särskilt tack även till min gossar i Chickendales, love you guys! Ni bevisade att ni kunde klara även en besvärlig situation!

Även de nu så efterfrågade Chickendales kommer att göra ett unikt framträdande...kanske för sista gången...

Tal kommer att hållas. DJ Frostland och DJ PJ kommer att underhålla oss med musik fram till kvällens stora avslutning - ett fyrverkeri utan dess like!

PRISTÄVLING blir det också! TRE: Bäst klädda och roligast - KLÄDD I BLÅGULT! 2 500 LD delas ut till vinnarna!

Hjärtligt välkomna till detta samarrangemang mellan
Eventgruppen, Swedish People in SL och Svenska Institutet

OBS! Det blir även filminspelning och därmed gäller detta: PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS EVENT IS BEING FILMED FOR AN HBO SPECIAL CALLED "MEETING ONLINE". THE FILMED FOOTAGE COULD BE PART OF A DOCUMENTARY FILM. UPON ENTERING, YOU GIVE YOUR CONSENT TO BE FILMED. (Ripoff från "Min avatar heter Apmel")

Nationaldagen firas den 6 juni



"Nationaldagen, eller det svenska folkets födelsedag, firas den 6:e juni, lagom till att syrenerna blommat och landet klätt sig i sommarskrud.

Sverige är ett demokratiskt land med fred, frihet och respekt för mänskliga rättigheter, oavsett religion eller ursprung. Sveriges nationaldag är dagen då vi firar dessa värden, hälsar nya medborgare välkomna och hyllar Sverige som en fri nation med fritt statsskick." (Från hemsidan för "Rikskommittén Sveriges Nationaldag")

Sverige har inte deltagit i något av krigen i modern tid (inte efter freden i Waterloo 1815), vilket kanske kan förklara vår något avvaktande hållning till att fira en nationaldag. Visst är vi stolta över vårt land men vi tycks inte känna något större behov av att visa det. Vi har också en vederbörligen försiktig attityd i vårt förhållande till överdrivet nationalistiska yttringar. Före 2005 var ju den 6 juni inte ens en helgdag, och för många har det enda tecknet på att denna dag var något speciellt måhända varit utsmyckningen av bussar med svenska flaggor.

Det är dags, anser jag, att göra nationaldagen till en angelägenhet för oss vanliga svenskar. Det är också dags att ta tillbaks andra nationella symboler - som vår flagga - från de extremister som har gjort dem till sina och förvrängt deras innehåll och symbolik till något som är fullständigt främmande för den överväldigande majoriteten av oss svenskar.

Nationaldagen och flaggan ska inte längre tillåtas vara angelägenheter endast för vurmare av stormaktstiden och deras glorifierande av krigarkonungar eller främligsfientliga och extremister.

Därför tänker åtminstone jag fira nationaldagen!

Eftersom jag bor i Second Life tänker jag göra det på "Ambassadens" tak tillsammans med mina landsmän och alla våra internationella vänner. Där kommer nationaldagen att firas söndagen den 6 juni, kl. 20.00-23.30, med deltagande av bland andra
DJ Frostland Beornssen,
junivers Stockholm,
Bara Jonson,
DJ PirateJenny Whybroe
och säkert några till...
