Art and Real Life

June 17, 2009

I’m playing my regular Wednesday gig on Radio Riel today with music of the Silk Road, including a particular focus on Persian and Arabic music. I hope you’ll tune in at http://music.radioriel.org.

Quarter sim available

June 7, 2009

Update, June 17: TAKEN!

I have a quarter-sim parcel in Murdann available for rent. It is the northeast corner of the sim and is available at any time (the current tenant will move when a new tenant is ready to rent).

The stats:

  • L$7,200/week (four weeks minimum, discount if paid monthly in US$ via paypal)
  • 3,750 prims
  • 16,384 square meters

This is a quiet, rustic, lightly-themed estate. No hard definitions, but definitely pre-modern architecture (up to 1920s or so). The neighbors on Murdann include Tea & Strychnine’s main store, the airship of the Consulate of Europa Wulfenbach, and my own TARDIS. Much of the development on the sim is aerial (which is zoned by height).

There is no purchase, and thus no resale, of property. My goal is long-term stability throughout the estate. Please contact me via IM or email (in profile) if you are interested. (Please, no notecards. My IMs are forwarded to email.)

Warming Day 2009

June 5, 2009

warming-day-2009-poster

You are most cordially welcomed to drop by Orcadia and enjoy our attractions as we quietly celebrate our second anniversary on Saturday, June 6. No big organized dance party this year, but the Consulate of Europa Wulfenbach is having an open house from 10am-noon on the airship now moored in Murdann, there are several En Garde pistes (one in each sim, I believe), as well as 7Seas and Neo-Realms fishing. Lady Edwina Heron has a jousting list in Murdann, and the Marchioness of Giggleford may be pimping her addiction putting out a Frootcake table in Giverny.

As always, there are the varied stores of Mmes Snook and Robbiani in Giverny and the main store of Tea & Strychnine aloft in Murdann.

Finally, I will be sponsoring (and playing!) a day of Scandinavian music on Radio Riel, http://music.radioriel.org. I have recently expanded my collection, and tomorrow you can hear the fruit of that exploration.

I began my association with Radio Riel as a listener, then became a host, and finally overcame my hesitations and began learning the art of being a presenter. It has been a wonderful addition to my life, moving my casual enjoyment of music into a deeper and more focused attention. I owe a debt of gratitude to Gabrielle Riel not only for making Radio Riel real, but for generously supporting my growth as a presenter.

You can see my programming schedule in the sidebar to the right (note that times are shown in SLT/U.S. Pacific time zone). My usual programs are our Wednesday From the Library and a Wednesday evening World Wednesdays hour (now on our main channel). But you will also find in the calendar my DJ and event gigs.

For our anniversary, we will presenting 24 hours of thematic programming, broadcast from our facilities in New Babbage. Please drop by and say hello, or listen at http://music.radioriel.org.
