Launch party for Radio Riel Volksmusik

Radio Riel has launched a sixth music stream: Radio Riel Volksmusik. It features traditional and contemporary folk music of Eastern, Central, and Northern Europe.

In honor of today’s launch, I’ll play a special live Volksmusik program from 6:00pm – 7:00pm SLT on both Radio Riel Main Stream and Radio Riel Volksmusik. If you are in Second Life, please join me at the Edison Ballroom in New Toulouse Bourbon (http://slurl.com/secondlife/New%20Toulouse%20Bourbon/166/133/27) for the party, or you can tune in on either of the simulcasting stations, Main or Volksmusik.

Terpsichore Tuesday returns

Captain Veles Jaegermonster and I invite you to the weekly Terpsichore Tuesday dance event at the Harborside Horizon Ballroom, Tuesdays, 5-6:30 pm SLT. The motto of Terpsichore Tuesdays is “It’s Second Life–We can dance to anything!”

Terpsichore Tuesdays was created by Valentine Janus in April 2009 and hosted by her in City of Enoch until December 2009, when she was no longer able to continue. Steadman Kondor then hosted it at Caledon Mayfair until March 2010. Veles and I hope to continue in this fine tradition of musical variety and friendly conversation.

Well presented hunt

I’m not doing this hunt, but since I’ve been free with criticisms of hunts, I’d like to give a shout-out to the Animal Lovers Hunt – 8.08 – 9.09.2010. There are many things I like about the way they’ve presented their hunt:

  • They aren’t overly preachy about not giving hints or using TPV item searches (although of course they discourage it!)
  • Although their hint list doesn’t have SLurls, they do have a list of all the participating stores with SLurls, so I can go to a specific store if I want to
  • Excellent use of photographs, both on Flickr and the blog, including photos of the prizes

I really like being given enough information to decide if I want to invest the time in the hunt, and enough information to patronize specific stores as well.
