The Gallery Assis Party

After a short sleep on the couch in front of the TV, I woke up and logged in again in time for the Gallery Assis party with DJ Cupric.

DJ Cupric is an entirely new acquaintance to me. Before today I can only remember him from his contribution at last years Second Pride to Petr Hastings-Vanbeeck's It gets Better Project in SecondLife  The main reason that I remember him from that is my soft spot for redheads.

 

Although I was pretty tired and feeling a bit low I must say I enjoyed Cupric's set a lot. The crowd seemed to like him too judging from the banter between him and them.

There were quite a few familiar faces among the patrons, I will only show you a few that I have selected for different reasons.

The utterly gorgeous Prætor

Second Pride IT-director Baz Ceawlin has until now had a very solid reputation.
I am not at all sure it will survive the publication of him in this revealing outfit.
I must however  say: "Nice ass, Baz, very nice ass indeed!"

The breathtakingly handsome Kere
(I have forgotten his last name)

Uncle Vaan & Uncle Rob I believe these two silver bears called themselves

DJ Regi @ Second Pride

I have known Regi Yifu since the very early days. We are both seasoned veterans who have been around the block a few times. In the old days Regi mostly used his creativity to build, create and design the most amazing accessories, clothes and interesting, funny or useful contraptions.

A couple of years ago Regi started DJ-ing with great success and also began organizing with his now immensely famous (at least in gay SecondLife) "Splash parties" (pool parties).

The Amacci Party

Yesterday it was time for my buddy Butch Diavolo to DJ at the Amacci Party at Second Pride. I had been looking forward to it ever since Butch told me he would be playing a set at Pride.

Butch started out hard and then he kept nailing it in deeper with every song he played. I thought he had an exceptionally good evening, but when I asked him afterwards how he felt about the set he said it had felt "OK". I told him he was silly and should stop bashing himself. The man was in all likelihood just exhausted after having played two sets back.to-back.

The fast working charmer I had met also came to the party. We had a long and pleasant conversation - or so I thought. However, I must have said or done something wrong because when I got online again later he had dissolved our friendship. "Well, easy come, easy go", I thought to myself even if it saddened me a little, but it really is better if people pull out sooner than later from something they do not believe they will enjoy.

I feel a bit ashamed writing this on the blog, and may possibly remove it at a later time. But as I have said many times before, this blog is mainly written as a journal for myself accounting what I experience in any of my lifes. I do not like failing at something and this was obviously something I did not handle well. As it is a learning experience it belongs here so I can remember it and learn from it in future relationships.

The Second Pride Memorial Chapel

This evening I made a visit to the interdenominational memorial chapel at Second Pride.

It is an extraordinarily beautiful building placed close to the waters and is surrounded by trees. The wonderful place is unexpectedly calm and serene, considering how busy the rest of the three sims are.

At the back of the chapel there are two small tables, one in each corner, with candles that can be lit for a lost friend or loved one.

I was very pleased to notice that there were three candles already lit for my Ars and I lit a fourth. It also made me happy to see that Kris Mounier was still loved and remembered by someone, Ars always had a great deal of affection for that kind man.

Aisha's Prayers

During Butch Diavolo's wonderful set at Second Pride today, the lovely Aisha Ceawlin could be seen invoking her Gods for something. 

My guess is that she was praying that Spanki Moulliez would either drop his pants completely or that he would pull pull them up. What do you think?
