Woodstock Festival week & "Hair"

This is just a little reminder about the Woodstock Festival week that starts today in Swedish SL. Read more about it in my earlier post here.

I am also extremely proud to now inform you all that the amazingly creative couple Ewa Aska and Jesper Prinz from the "Ice Hotel in SL" have joined in the fun and invite us to enjoy their production of the musical "Hair".

The grand in-world premiere will take place tomorrow Monday August 16th, 2010, at 2 pm SLT on the Lapplandia sim. (SLurl to Lapplandia stolen from Jespers and Ewas blog The White Room.)

As you may know already Ewa and Jesper are also the producers of - and the shining stars in - the biggest musical rage in the SL-world during the last year, "ABBA Sweden".

Cool tool

On "Ryce Skytower in Second Life" I found a link to this cool tool that transforms any picture you upload.  There are tons of variations.

I tried out the watercolor and the pencil drawing on two of my pictures. This is how they turned out.

Are You a Witch?

There has been some talk about witches lately, so I googled for a test...and actually found one!

Go here to test if you are a witch Best of luck!

Of course I had to take the test myself. I got this result:

"You Are 40% Witch

It's unlikely that you're a witch. At least, no one thinks you are.

You may still be interested in witchcraft, but you're by no means a stereotypical witch.

While you don't seem all that witchy, people may think you're a bit weird. You're definitely a little offbeat. No one really knows what to make of you sometimes."

Ted Olson & David Boies interviewed about Proposition 8

Listen to the two trial lawyers - one conservative and one liberal - that united forces to overturn California´s Proposition 8 ballot measure outlawing same-sex marriage talk about the case and what they want to achieve. Once adversaries in 2000's Bush v. Gore Supreme Court case, now two of the United States´ premier lawyers have teamed up to make the constitutional case for same-sex marriage.

This is a fifty minutes long but extremely interesting interview by Bill Moyers in his program "Bill Moyers Journal".

Happy 1st anniversary Jeb & Shayne

Ars brother Jeb Nicholls and his charming partner Shayne Turbo celebrated their first wedding anniversary yesterday by throwing a huge party. The theme was "Gods of Love and Monsters".

The music was provided by DJ Hotboy and the party venue was soon filled with almost all the hottest men that Second Life can provide, with the possible and obvious exception of the hunkalicious Jesper Prinz and two other guys that I will not name here.

Jebs brother Dejerrity Mycron, this evening dressed as an automaton, held the sweetest toast for the happy couple. I am sure that Jeb was in tears when he heard it, the big, rough but oh so sweet mush. I was alas too tired to remember to copy it for your benefit, but instead I give you a few pictures from the party.

The party started late from a European point of view, so I stayed only for an hour before my friday coma set in, but I am convinced the party went on long into the American night. It was the best Friday the 13th I have ever had!

I wish you all the best for the future, Jeb and Shayne, and may you have many more anniversaries to come! Love you both, guys!

Rättelse och ursäkt till "Dagny"

Jag vill med detta rikta er uppmärksamhet på den kommentarer jag idag har gjort på mitt inlägg om "Vem skapar drama?"

Jag ber där även "Dagny" om ursäkt för missförstånd och felaktighet.

Vaughn R. Walker gör det igen

Idag meddelade Vaughn R. Walker, chefsdomare i the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, ett beslut som innebär att samkönade äktenskap åter kan börja ingås i delstaten Kalifornien, USA.

Som jag tidigare har berättat så har samme domare nyligen upphävt det beslut som förbjuder samkönade äktenskap som fattats genom en folkomröstning i Kalifornien ("Prosition 8")

I anslutning till att han meddelade det beslutet meddelade han dock också ett interimistiskt beslut som innebar att samkönade äktenskap ändå inte fick ingås förrän slutligt beslut hade meddelats.

Idag har han dock beslutat att lyfta förbudet, vilket innebär att från och med den 18 augusti 2010 får bögar och lesbianer åter gifta sig i Kalifornien!

Way to go, California! ...men nu fortsätter säkerligen denna tvist i överdomstolarna...
