Mel Cheeky Interviews!
As Sweet as Fudge, Mel Cheeky - VTOR - Virtual TO Reality
"Weirdharold" over at vtoreality.com has posted an interview with Mel Cheeky. It's short and sweet, well formatted and a nice read.
From the comments at that article, due to a bit of shameless self promotion on Andy's part, I also found "Interview with SL musician Mel Cheeky" - a blog entry by Andy Piper (Note: the same interview was republished in SLateNight magazine. This one is formatted similar to my interviews - pretty much a copy/paste from a chat log with a bit of editing. It's longer and more involved than either vto's or mine. I love that Mel's answers are very consistent in all three interviews.
Oh, it also appears that Andy is one of the IBM folks we've been hearing about. Glad to see that some of the new corporate users are blending in and finding the gems in Second Life like Mel Cheeky rather than simply slaving away on their island estates (melodrama emphasis is all mine there).
Comments
You'd be surprised by how many of the corporate users are out and about in SL -- but since we're on our own time and we're not doing things in our role as company employee (indeed, may be doing things that our company would be less-than-thrilled to be associated with... this IS Second Life after all), we don't mention it. Like, I wrote an article on Gorean Free Women for the Metaverse Messenger. In the byline, I listed my Gorean status, not my RL corporate affiliation.

Dolmera, I appreciate your comments on both the VTOR site and your own. I am a bit surprised we didn't get a linkback, but your kind words have made my day a better one. Thank YOU

Hi, thanks for mentioning the interview I did with Mel! Yes, we are absolutely wanting to "blend in" and be part of the wider SL community. The live music scene is one of my favourite aspects of SL, and Mel is a fantastic musician.

Thanks for stopping by Andy. The interview was well done and I'm quite pleased to see you "blending in" so well :) I'll probably see you at a show some time.
