Second Pride Bloggers Converge

As I told you in the earlier post I was dancing with blogger Eddi Haskell and had already seen blogger Jeff Ellsworth at the venue.

When Eddi also spotted blogger NakedCarl there he suggested we take a few group pictures of us Second Pride bloggers, which we all thought was an excellent idea.

The other guys blogs are, from left to right on the pictures above;

Sixth Day of Second Pride

My Friday at Pride started with the Jungleboy´s sponsor party. A whole lot of scantily clothed men and some women too. Great music was provided by DJ Taylor2 Spyker, if i understand correctly he is called "Chief" by the tribes people.

I saw Jeff Ellsworth - on the sidelines as usual - taking pictures for his blog I presume.

Then blogger Eddi Haskell dropped in on the party, and we started dancing together.

 

While I was dancing like crazy with Eddi, snapping away and enjoying the party I got an IM from Sven Sharktooth, so I TP´d him to the party.

Sven Shartooth

I first met Sven on March 6th 2010, when he was a day old noob in SecondLife. This was during the time my Ars had been admitted to the hospital so I was just running around in SecondLife waiting for updates from his sisters. When Sven the British noob asked me for help with his shape I took the time to show him a few tricks and helped him to get the all the demo-shapes at KMADD.

Well it seems he learned fast, because the hawt shape he is in now is one he made himself.

Fifth Day of Second Pride

Oh  what a wonderful party we had yesterday with legendary DJ Sarco followed by DJ Jerrod, both are of course old time friends of mine (*cough cough* Did´ya notice my namedropping?). Australian DJ Sarco had gotten up at 3 am his time to give us this marvelous time.

And if I was complaining about not knowing a soul at yesterdays party, this evening I knew nearly them all, well no there were a lot of cute guys and nice girls from 2010 and 2011 also.

Enough talk! Today I will mostly show you the party pictures but let me tell those of you who weren't there: YOU MISSED AN AWESOME PARTY!

JPS Anatine, beautiful as ever

Wanted - Dead or Alive

Guyke Lundquist (see picture), son of Ars Northmead and stepson of Bock McMillan, was last heard from on Thursday May 5th, 2011 when he informed his stepfather that he was on his way to Finland.

Although he informed his stepfather that he would be back on May 16th, 2011, he has not been heard of since.

If you have any news of this avatars whereabouts or have seen him in SecondLife please inform his worried stepfather in comments here or by e-mail to Bock´s e-mail 

UPDATE May 27, 2011, 01:47; I just heard from the beautiful man, all is well but life has been hectic. I am so relieved! ;)

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).

Ziggy and his sidekick Larz

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!

The quadruplets to the left and to the right Nanaki Raymaker

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. 

Meeting Derek

Well yesterday started out very poorly. I actually missed Butch´s set at Pride, the one that I had plugged myself on this blog. How that happened I am not sure, but I would like to tell Butch I am very sorry for that and that I was pleased to notice that he actually had a good crowd there even without me! And I got to hear the last tune he played - thats something!

During my rantings about my awful mistake to myself and the people that happened to IM me when I logged in-world I also got an invitation to come visit with my brother in-law Andrey and his new boyfriend Derek Pevensey. So after hearing Butch´s last tune, I went over to their place.

It was very nice meeting my BIL again but most of all it was a great pleasure meeting Derek. Of course I had already listened to Andrey talk about him for hours and hours, I had also talked to Derek myself a few times - giving him a deep probing interrogation on what his intension's were with my BIL and if they were in any way honest and honorable. My BIL is precious to me, I would not willingly see him date a scumbag.

Andrey and Derek

Well I am very relieved to tell you all - and myself - that Derek passed the tests with "summa cum laude". He is a pleasant, friendly and intelligent man with a good sense of humor. I can fully understand why Andrey is madly in love with him.

The best thing is that he doesn't mind getting Bock-crazy relatives because, as I carefully and clearly informed him, I come as a package-deal with Andrey.
