Special thanks to Boc Cryotank (Stephen Euin Cobb) for the photos-  Boc's got an eye for the ladies, doesn't he?  :D

We cancelled the regular Saturday Salon due to SL's long downtime: logins started working right at 1, when the Salon was scheduled to start, and a lot of people hadn't gotten the word.  Plus, our Spotlight Guest, JoJa Dhara, had been sick anyway - we decided to let her rest, and to sav her visit for a time when she's healthy and we can get a full crowd. 

The afternoon turned into an impromptu party, as a good dozen people showed up anyway, and kibitzed while Vidal expanded the seating in the Salon room, in preparation for SF Writer (Robert J. Sawyer)'s visit on Sunday:




And, photos of the Salon itself the following day:

We celebrated galatea_gynoid 's first rezday today!  My dear love and true friend, Extropia's visionary and driving force, my inspiration and delight, has been in the world a year, and it's my great honor to have spent much of it with her.  Here's to many, many more!

Enormous thanks to Reactor Radio's DJ Nicki Petrichor for the best day of music ever!  Nicki played an *unbelievable* set of the best electronica from around the world, and her 4-hour set was still going strong when I left after 5 hours!  Nicki, you're the greatest, and we love you!

Thanks to everyone who turned out on one of SL's uglier days of late.  It was really good to spend the day with you, dear friends and new friends.

I'm sorry I didn't get more photos, especially of everyone who was at the party's first few hours: it took me a while to settle down, relax and take snapshots. So, Grace McDunnough, Noelani Lightfoot (who took my stunning new profile photo - check it out inworld!), Meissa Thorne - my apologies, and I'll catch you double at the next party!

We had another amazingly fun afternoon at the South Park Beach Party in Extropia Core yesterday!  Six hours, three DJs, $2000L in swimsuit prizes, trivia contests and more!

Lots of new friends - thanks to everyone who brought people, and everyone who dropped in to rock out with us!

Special thanks to DJs Seven Shikami, Nicki Petrichor and Vannesh Cannoli - three fantastic sets, and a lot of very happy dancers!

Arisia Vita and Tara Yates were our swimsuit contest winners - thanks for the eye candy you two, and everyone!

I'll remember this as the week I had very little time, and spent most of it in a foul mood.

Still, it was full of great stuff - a tour of the Vulcano community, and a lot of very enthusiastic new friends, the premiere of Dizzy Banjo's Parsec, and a wonderful fun time at the Extropia picnic, much of it sitting with Argent, watching our daughter dance like a wild thing and make friends.

	Vulcano Thanks to so many of the citizens of Vulcano for showing me a good time!
	Club Pyramid A brilliantly creative design - I can't wait to party there!
	Nothing But The Blues Me and Ev0l Twin Ali at Vanni's party
	Parsec Thanks to Dizzy for the opportunity to see this amazing work of art!
	Parsec About to begin -

It was a completely insane idea: a 12 hour marathon party, booked chock-full of SL's best entertainment, to raise funds for Uthango Social Investments' Virtual Africa. Thing is, it worked!

An hour before the party officially started, it was already going strong, and 13 hours later, when DJ keTchUp wrapped his brilliant new-music set to close  us down for the night, 15 people stayed to dance and chat!  We finally closed up after 15 hours and $L90,610 raised for Uthango!

Special thanks to the amazing talent who turned out for us, and who stayed to play, dance and donate: DJs Vannesh Cannoli, Seven Shikami, Reactor Radio's Nicki Petrichor and Clockwork's DJ keTchUp, Alexander Burgess, as well as special guest performer Grace McDunnough.

Thanks to Jen Shikami and Meissa Thorne for donating party favors - brilliant holly wings from Jen and a full kit of holiday gear from Meissa!

Thanks also to Grace, Michel Manen and Nepherses Amat for bringing their crowds to mix & mingle with us - we all made a lot of new friends through that long night!

Thanks so much to Meissa and to my love galatea_gynoid for going the distance, to Jen for keeping me sane, and to dearest
argent_bury for revitalizing me!

Never, never, *never* again!

Um, till this Saturday, when we're throwing a party in Al Andalus, with DJ Nicki Petrichor, from 11am to 1pm SLT....  :P

Last night we celebrated six months of dear argent_bury in this world -

We had a wonderful party, despite a shaky start - I hadn't confirmed the LM for the club we'd planned to meet at, and sure enough, it was gone! Argent kept her head, and found another swing club, and brought us all in.

I had the worst bout of lagging and crashing I've had in a good six months - *thanks,* new Windlight version! I pretty much completely missed my daughter and Ali while I rebooted over and over...

But, despite the bobbles, goddess, what a wonderful evening! Argent twirling me in the air, slowdancing with Gala, the last dance with sweet Katrina Mishow - it was a bit of heaven.

Argent, thank you. Thank you for your strength, your wisdom, your patience, and always, your love. Here's to many, many happy returns!

Thank you *so much,* everyone who turned out for my Halloween/Half-Rezday party on Saturday! We ran more than 7 straight hours, and *wow,* everybody outdid themselves on costumes!

We had two $2000L contest winners!

galatea_gynoid  took Best Non-Human, with her Chocobo ("Wark!"):
(that's Gala, me in blue skin and white dress, and witchy vidaltripsa!



Our magnificent Maleficent DJ, Purgitorii Darkes, won for Best Human Costume:



Special shout-outs to Peer Infinity, for most...*memorable* costume, new friend Meissa Thorne for going the whole 7+ hours, Zada Zenovka for just blowing us away with endless costume awesomeness, and dear kateamdahl for her glorious appearance and for bringing Kit Meredith, who's destined to be a *great* friend!

Save the date, November 24, for....Beach Party!!

It's time for another party at the Aerie DanceFloor! 

This one's going to be the biggest and best ever, 'cause we've got so much to celebrate!

• Halloween!!!
• My half-rezday - guess I'll be officially not a n00b anymore!
• The *last* party at Koh Terutao, as groundbreaking is about to begin on our new home!

Come in costume!  Come scary, sexy, weird, all of the above! 

We'll have somewhere between one and three DJs, $3000L in prizes for best costumes (awards at 5 and 8pm, so be sure to stick around!), and we're going to be dancing all night long!

The party starts this Saturday at 4pm SLT (3:30 if you're coming straight from the Saturday Salon), and we'll run till there's nobody left on the dancefloor - last month's was still going when *I* collapsed at 10 pm SLT!


Here's the SLURL - see you there!

OMG, what an event! I think we ended up with about as many people as last time, but where "Assimilate This!" packed the house for three hours and stopped, "Pajama Party" was more like four parties, one after the other, with different crowds and themes (latex/pirates was maybe my favorite!) .

It was still going strong when *I* left after six and a half hours! My gods, you guys completely wore out my new plutonium batteries, *and* a good dozen pairs of shoes!

Special shout-outs to galatea_gynoid  for going the distance with me, centrasian_wise  for *rocking* outfits, Alex Burgess for an unbelievably fantastic job as DJ, Esteban for philosophy, vannesh [Unknown LJ tag] for wearing even less than me, and really to everybody who came and had fun, old friends and new alike!

Mark your calendars for October 27, when we'll do a Halloween party and celebrate my six-month rezday! And if you guys really wanna party all night long, I'll book a string of DJ's and sleep in that morning!  :)
