SLCC 2009
Thank You SLCC 2009 Music Track
Monday, 17 August 2009 12:39
A word of thanks to my fellow SLCC Music Track volunteers, especially Apple MacKay, Katydid Something, Cylindrian Rutabaga, Lyndon Heart, SeanMcPherson Senior, Ed Lowell, Gwampa Lomu, Crap Mariner, Mia Kitchensink, Feline Slade, Rhiannon Chatnoir and all the musicians! A noteworthy thanks to Linden Lab for their support and encouragement. The 'Linden Luau' was a treat! Thanks for inviting everyone! Another special thanks to Ham Rambler of 'Dublin Virtually Live' for the 'Blarney Stone on Tour' party at Sellers Market thursday night. Also, the good hearted people of Seller's Market for opening up their cafe to us for the night. It was a truly remarkable evening. Thank you Woodbury University for the party bus. The fun was enriched by the fact that we were in a beautiful, historic hotel. The staff and accommodations at the Westin St. Francis Hotel on Union Square was second to none. Thank you for letting us spontaneously play in your lavish lobbies all weekend! (We think the guests enjoyed it, too) And a big thanks to the city of San Francisco for not arresting us for playing music in the park and griefing the Linden Lab building ~ lol. It was a great (week-long) weekend. Thank you, everyone.
Summer of Love Resurrected By the SLCC Music Track
Thursday, 13 August 2009 06:49
As many of the musicians of SL arrived in San Francisco on the eve of the 2009 SLCC, the true spirit of Peace, Love and Music arrived with them. The night began with a gathering at the Borders Books & Music, where Jay and Sue Mahar (Apple MacKay and Nasus Dumart) signed their book, The Unofficial Guide to Building Your Business in the Second Life Virtual World'. Then, the crowd migrated to 'open mic' at Cafe Royal, where several SL musicians, including Cylindrian Rutabaga, Beth Odets, Lyndon Heart, Patrick LaSalle, Pato Milo, Paisley Beebe, EvaMoon Ember and others jammed. By 11pm, open mic had ended, but the spirit moved the crowd to Union Square park for an impromptu acoustic jam. Passers by enjoyed the music, some joined in the applause. Without doubt, San Francisco is knows we're here. It's as if the Summer of Love is now resurrected. Perhaps the difference between the original Summer of Love and the SLCC's version of it is that 40 years ago, it was about counter-culture. Today, it IS culture. The park managers kindly gave us notice to clear the public space nearing midnight, so the crowd moved the party to the chandelier decorated hotel lobby, where we played and sang until 2:15am, without one complaint from guests or hotel managers. See the video clip from when we played in the park.
