While I was on my wonderful vacation in Great Britain I got the wild idea to pick up a little notebook. I used it to jot down things that I found of interest. You know - turns of phrase, colloquialisms, verbal oddities. Things that made me go hmmmm really.

I saw what I thought was one damn cute group tag on someone at a live concert recently: "I Beta Tested Ur GF"
Beware the virtual roaches! They can be real. | Rezzable Greenies Roaches!
Speaking of Greenies - I saw these in a grocery store recently and could not help but snap a pic:
Well it's with sadness that I depart from thesixtyone.com. They really created a fun and addictive place. I no longer have an confidence in the admins to provide a safe and friendly environment for those fun activities.
Melanie's accounts have been removed and someday hopefully they'll smarten up and remove the list of names from their announcement forum entry.
For those you of you staying on t61 - HAVE FUN! Good luck and I honestly hope that the worst of the drama is behind that community.
[EDIT: Thanks to Claudia for pointing out that I forgot to put a DATE!
The party is Sunday June 29th! Event notice on 2L events page]
Here's the event notice:
"Three years ago, Ursula Cinquetti and Cher Harrington stumbled into SecondLife, after years of greening themselves in TSO.
And wow, what a journey it's been!
To celebrate these three amazing years, we have planned a day of LIVE music at Triumph Cove! Join us for the day or just pop in and say hi! We'd love to see you!
3:00 Johnny99 Gumshoe - born on the same day as Cher!
4:00 Charles Coleman
5:00 Frogg Marlowe and Jaycatt Nico
6:00 Komuso Tokugawa
Blaze Columbia of Blaze* Fine Fashions is providing a Blaze prize ball to shower our guests with free Blaze gift certificates!
We needed a theme, so in memory of The Sims Online, we picked GREEN! Wear your favorite green clothing, accessories, or avatars!"

Folks - I cannot express how sorry I am that t61 has been so difficult to work with. I still feel like the person who brought his friends to a party only to watch them be taunted and mistreated.
I have decided to bail on t61 as of today. I am sorry if this decision seems rash to some of you. I did not make it lightly, I assure you.

SRV4U's Since I met you went from 66 / 28 to 104 / 37 while Junkyard Rukus's 'Lectric Church went from 41 / 15 to 59 / 26
It's the 80th SRB! We'll change the name and have another huge party around the 100th (and thus start counting from 1 again! YAY) Suka Nishi has volunteered again to be the master of ceremonies and the one true organizer of this next event. We're looking to fill 6AM - 6PM SLT on July 13th. Artists interested in playing please contact Suka Nishi to get your time slot secured.
Next up is Toby Lancaster whose Divide By Zero is at 77 / 23
Sib song comes from Mimi - whiteout's cover of the followers at 30 / 16
HELP WANTED:
I'm looking to rename the Sibling Rivalry Bump with a name that sheds the antogonistic history. I think we've hopefully moved past that stage and the kids are now able to play the game without pulling on each other's hair. Any suggestions for a new name?
Suggestions so far:
1. friendly rivalry bump (not all that different, eh?)
2. what's an avatar among friends bump (I kinda like this one but it's a bit long?)
3. Spread the Love (Mallow's so sappy, so is Sally - 2 votes)
4. Bump Love
5. Love Bumps (3 votes)
6. Back Scratch Bump
7. Best of Both Worlds bumps (3 votes)
Also, there are now about 97 artists in rotation for our bump runs. At one bump a day that's a bump per artist once every 3 months or so. My latest thought goes like this: 2 SL artists, 1 Sib song per day. The group notice would contain a link to my blog entry with the links to the t61 songs. My t61 profile would have the three latest targets on the profile picks and a comment entry also simply pointing at my blog entry. I think this would save me time and effort while still remaining a fair way for everyone to get easy access to the links. I think I'll start this next week unless there are any objections - just IM me or leave a comment wall message on t61.

Dolmere Talamasca and Chaos Noyes Standing Far Apart 2 at Wishing Land 6-15-2008 on Flickr - Photo Sharing! Actually the answer to this tends to be yes. My band had a good show recently - a reporter came out and did an interview, took pictures and wrote up a nice article about it. Before the second set, after the interview, he asked if I could scoot over and stand closer together so that he could take pictures with the full band in it. It happens.

HEY! Check out the Beat Chicks Podcast if you get a moment and you've been known to listen to those types of things.
Hope Clary and TheDiva Rockin have started a new podcast. These two dynamic SL personalities join forces to co-hostess their own music flavored multimedia experience and music lovers are the better for it.
They have already posted an introduction snippet and an interview with Cylindrian featuring three of Cyl's songs.
Cyl blogged about it here: Cylindrian meets The Beat Chicks - Cylindrian’s Grace Notes
This past Sunday I attended the Paisley Beebe Tonight Live episode that saw both a brand new TV studio set AND a return performance from the wonderulf Jaycatt nico and Frogg Marlowe!
These guys are awesome and so very worthy of your time and attention! Check out the recorded video of the interview linked over at Jaycatt's blog: Jaycatt Nico's Ramblings: Effinjay on Tonight Live!
Here is a picture of the duo performing:
BlogHUD : DrFran Babcock on Northpoint says "The new studio is completed, and my favorite duo is playing. The venue is just perfect for live music."
JueL's looking for sponsorship of Living Room #13 (What Is This Crap?) JueL's been running her venue for quite a while indeed. I had a chance to play there when she first opened this latest rendition at an open mic night she threw together.
I'll certainly be donating back some of my tips to help out. My lindens tend to flow in from live shows and back out as artist and venue tips. Rinse. Repeat.
[Edit:] if you've been known to tip venues and want to support live music I ask you this one simple question - "Are you really going to let an avatar who chose to be known as CRAP out-donate you?"
Yesterday's SRB saw Spinning Mule's One Embrace go from 236 / 67 to 266 / 71 while sib Laurel Jackson's Are You went from 377 / 98 to 386 / 103
Today we revisit Da Bluez Preacher (SL: SRV4U Conacher) whose song Since I met you is at 66 / 28
Since my account is still locked out on t61 (I'm informed that my email address is no longer in the system) I have no access to my tunebox messages. That means day 2 of "Dolmere's own sibling picks": Junkyard Rukus's 'Lectric Church is at 41 / 15

Pato's I Melt With You went from 82 / 36 to 129 / 53 while zero's Les suicides went from 18 / 17 to 71 / 44. Thanks folks - this is a much more respectable showing than we've been having recently. Perhaps the rain or other foul weather has driven a few bumpers back home from the beach? Haha :)
Today we revisit Spinning Mule (SL: Neil Morrison) whose song One Embrace is at 236 / 67
Today's sib song comes from... ME! Laurel Jackson's Are You is at 377 / 98 right now

37 at Dolmere SummerSim gig on Flickr - Photo Sharing! This was extended from a 1 hour to a 1 3/4 hour show at the last minute which was fun. Amazingly several people stuck around for the full thing and there was a fairly good sized crowd for the majority of the show.

While I was on my wonderful vacation in Great Britain I got the wild idea to pick up a little notebook. I used it to jot down things that I found of interest. You know - turns of phrase, colloquialisms, verbal oddities. Little tidits of the local dialect, glimpses into English life, a game of "you say" "we say", or perhaps "I'll show you mine if you show me yours", eh?

What's up with these small bump runs? Is everyone on vacation or something?
Ban's A simple word went from 59 / 24 to 68 / 30 while kthxbai's "desires within desires" went from 25 / 12 to 29 / 16
Today we revisit Kourosh Eusebio with Elves' Reckoning at 295 / 90
Our sib song comes from HiddenSanctuary - Romance's Paris Is Burning is at 378 / 133
REVIVE BUMP NOTE: When a song says "1000 revive" it means that the song COULD be revived if the moon and stars are aligned. It is possible to BUMP the song instead though.
To bump - Click the Revive (1000) link, it will not charge you. In the popup confirmation window look for the text at the bottom "Or if you'd like to bump this song instead, click here." Click the word "here" and the "revive" button will change to "bump". Rinse and repeat as desired or until clean.
