Grace McDunnough performs at the Prop Spinners Pub
Prop Spinners Pub owners Thadicus Caligari and Katrina Pugilist from the Royal Caledon Air Force lost a dear friend Lara Lahane to cancer recently and graciously setup a major event in honor of her and SLRFL on Sunday May 4th. I was happy to discover that a mutual friend Grace McDunnough was to perform during the 5 PM hour, so I made every effort to be there. My connection to Grace has been through the SLBloggers, Twitter, Malburns Writer's Second Spaces Videocast Metaverse Week in Review and through various encounters at metaverse related events. I'm embarrassed to say, this was only the second time I've heard her sing and she was indeed wonderful. She is full of fun, humor, and true to her name, a graceful lady.
For the record, here is the notecard about the event...
You are personally invited to join me (Thadicus Caligari) in a celebration of friendship and love of music.
This event is a Tribute to my close friend Lara Lahane ( her SL avatar name). Lara died mid January 2008 from leukemia. Lara had a husband and three kids that survive her. Lara was a avid gamer, she and I played There.com, Star Wars Galaxies, and SL together. She also played WoW and other fantasy based games.
Lara and I came to SL together with several other friends who were There.com players. Lara would come from time to but was not a regular in Second Life. Lara had fought leukema many years ago and had been remissed for 6 years when it was found again a year and a half ago.
Lara loved music, mostly popular and classic rock. She would come visit and join myself and our common friend Sidney Therian at various music oriented events in SL.
As a Tribute to Laura, I am hosting a afternoon and evening long music event at the Prop Spinners Pub in Caledon SteamSkyCity on Sunday May 4th, 2008.
The artist lineup is as follows:
11am - DJ Otawan Fouquet - Classic Rock and Pop music (2 hours)
1pm - Mel Cheeky
2pm - Charles Coleman
3pm - DJ Syzygy Merlin - Classic Rock and Pop music
4pm - JellyJellyJelly Benelli
5pm - Grace McDunnough
6pm - Lyndon Heart
7pm - DJ Eyudptes Bergson - (2 hours)
Music theme is: Tribute to Lara. Clothing contest is clothes and costumes from There.com, Star Wars Galaxies, Lineage II, and Worlds of Warcraft.
AUCTION:
As a tribute to Lara there will also be an auction upstairs at the Pub of some one-of-a-kind items such as 2 guitars, jewlery, and a lovely butterfly costume. This will be a silent auction beginning Monday am SLT until the close of the music event.
DIRECTIONS TO THE PUB:
From the SSC Teleport, walk North to the end and turn left. walk straight ahead. On the right is the pub down the walkway about 3/4 of the way.

Big Dogfights for Tiny Avatars! - Royal Caledon Air Force
Officers of the Royal Caledon Air Force are planning 3 dogfighting sessions within two days of aerial combat fun during the first weekend of May 2008.
All participants will meet at the Connolly Aerodrome in Caledon Penzance at 10:00 AM SL time on Saturday May 3rd or Sunday May 4th (or both days if you prefer) for what may be the biggest air battle ever fought by tiny avatars!
We have also added a 12:00 AM (00:00) SLT Midnight Tiny Dogfight for the wee hours of Sunday morning. That's 3 aerial battles in the same weekend!
All you need is a tiny plane with the Terra Combat System (TCS) and a tiny avatar. A tiny dog avatar would be perfect, but if you have your heart set on another, we'll be glad to see you in another tiny incarnation.
Everyone is welcome. You do not need to be a Caledon resident or pilot with the Royal Caledon Air Force. All we ask is that you join the RCAF group during the time of the event itself to facilitate communication in group chat during the events and use a tiny avatar and tiny plane during the dogfights. Tiny planes will be provided by RCAF Marshal Zoe Connolly. The Tiny Avatar you use is up to you. Once we start, air battles usually last 30 to 40 minutes.
Fair Skies!

The recent weather in RL
When the weather in RL is as nice as in SL...Get out of the house!
That's exactly what I'm doing!
Skyboxes in SL
I love having enough land/prim to have several skyboxes in SL. One I have in Caledon Mayfair is open to the public - basically it's open to anyone who discovers it, or to a few people I know who need a large building platform.
Another I have allows even more freedom ;)
Sometimes I'll go to one of my skyboxes and stay the entire time I'm inworld.
Now you may be wondering..."If I IM Zoe, is she wearing any clothes?"

Airliner crashes into Caledon Penzance Building!
(Caledon Penzance) At 2:30 PM SL Time on SLunday April 13, this reporter witnessed a most harrowing sight. A Jet Airplane crashed into several buildings in Caledon Penzance. Was it pilot error or SL Havok 4 mishap? We may never know for certain. The unknown pilot was last seen disembarking his plane and promptly disappeared into the aether, leaving his wreckage behind - and perhaps even his pride - nested in the side of a Penzance shop....
