104: Halfway to Second Pride, at Collective

Hard to believe that we're at the halfway point of the year as far as the countdown to Second Pride is concerned ... how time flies when you're having virtual fun! Jerrod Rodenberger is in charge of Collective, the science-fiction companion club to steampunk venue Engine, and last night put on a party to celebrate that halfway point. I think this kind of party keeps people's minds on

what a great celebration Second Pride always is for LGBT SL residents, and thanks to Jerrod for putting it on.  A good idea in a good cause.
     There were lots of people there and I'm hoping that Second Pride collected a lot of donations. I saw DJ Ez (Ezzie Mirabella), who's not only a well-known DJ but the Chair of Second Pride, in attendance. Ezzie always seems to

make time for these Pride-related events, even though he's terrifically busy -- thanks Ezzie! Also in attendance was my fellow blogger NakedCarl Paneer, whose blog is here (and who will probably have his own report!), and my handsome boyfriend Alex Thaub, who despite the persistent attentions of a couple of horn dogs is not on the market -- sorry, boys!

     I had to leave before I found out who "Best in Sports Kit" was -- there were a lot of hot candidates! A fun party, good music and a visually interesting venue. Should continue to be a popular place to dance!

071: Dancing at the Voodoo Hallowe'en Festival at Second Pride

Ah, the cycle of Hallowe'en parties is starting to get really cranked up. I did want to make a point of taking my friend Alex Thaub out dancing at the Second Pride Voodoo Hallowe'en Festival on the Second Pride temporary build. It's a good cause, they have got some great DJs and everyone gets a great party! Tonight we have Galileo Michalski of 3Bears (where I live) to thank for the

party, featuring the DJ and hosting skills of my neighbours, partners Jak Calcutt and Karl Kalchek.
     I couldn't stay for the second half, because I wanted to explore some very cool builds on the sim that I'd heard about. So many pictures that I'll split it in half -- tomorrow's post will be devoted to Rusty and Alex in the haunted house, fun house and various scary stuff!! (No

pictures of me falling off the monorail like a doofus, thank goodness.)
     Enjoy the pictures and see if you recognize anyone!
     And check out the sim -- there's been some amazing work, all donated labour, and this is a good cause that deserves our support. Did I mention it's a lot of fun?
