Really cool events and captivating projects
I was adding a book to my Amazon shopping list, when the top entry in my "plog" (what a horrible word!) caught my eye:
If you're reading this in early May -- say May 6th or 7th, 2006 -- there's a chance you can join us online at the Friends of Liad Park on Second Life, assuming you like playing in a very science fiction 3D chat world. This is, by the way, our last currently scheduled science fiction event for the year, so it looks like we'll be doing a lot of writing!
What? Steve Miller and Sharon Lee apparently are devotees of SL, as well as having written some great sci-fi/fantasy books (particularly the Liaden world). :) Doubly cool! And they hold events in a park that they've made in SL. In one of those really odd concurrence things, the postman will be delivering a couple of their books to my house today. :) I missed their event this weekend, which is annoying, but I now know to look for them in the future!
It sounds like the requests for folks to aid Mera worked a little too well! :) Seems like she's putting in a lot of time on it, though - nothing like a captivating project to sink your teeth into, eh? (Yes, I just used "eh" in a sentence, get over it.) My list of projects I'd like to try my hand at continues to grow unabated, despite my lack of time these days!
Now that the show I'm working on (offline) is up and running, I'd hoped to get some more time on SL for projects and to take in more events, but it's just not in the cards, I guess. We're taking the show to a different venue for the second half of the month-long run, and that requires a lot of reworking of set and blocking. Happily, it eliminates some of the more stressful elements of the show (namely the moving bit of scenery that feels compelled to make Chewbacca-esque noises during the quieter scenes), but no doubt new stresses will arise. This is what makes theatre fun. This new theatre is not as convenient to my house, which means more time lost to commuting, and less time for SL, unfortunately.
Speaking (typing?) of projects, I sold three innertubes to Pandora on Sunday, which marks my first foray into SL capitalism. I need to turn my attention to commerce and put up pics to sell them on SL Exchange. Can't hurt to have a few lindens coming in. Adding that to the list. :D

Congrats on the tubage, C. Mali and I continue to enjoy them in the pool on top of the treehouse dojo!
