Ambrosia Dance Club

If you are in Second Life long enough eventually you will become a member of a lot of groups. On any given day each one of these groups will send you a little blue box notifying you of amazing events that are about to occur. For the most part will just hit delete and go on about your business of picking just the right ball gag to wear in preparation for the latex-clad harpie neko transvestite vampire support group party you were invited to.

The other day, Jaymzzz was very persistant and sent us all the blue box invite about 25 times to see his new club. It was a slow morning at Ambrosia so we declared a Field Trip and off we went.

We danced a while and then played follow the leader to the next club. It was completely deserted except for the Bot at the entrance wearing a security shirt and welcoming us in green chat. For fun we decided to push him into the ocean and let him greet the fish.

Everyone enjoyed that so much that we decided to go Bot Hunting. I remembered a club where they carelessly placed their traffic generating bots on an open wooden platform. Butterfly Girl is about to take the one way flight to oblivion.

We all took perverse pleasure in painstakingly pushing them 80 meters from where they stood and then giving them that last nudge that would push them over the edge and send them plunging 500 meters to earth.

It’s the little things that make Second Life so much fun!

I love to explore the Grid when ever free time presents itself from the time consuming task of running a club.  Today i stumbled upon this gem that just has to be shared.

It’s Mama Joan’s Pizza joint, a little non-descript build on mainland that you would probably miss if you blinked.  I was very impressed with the details.   You can sit outside or in at a table inside.  You order your pie and then Mama announces that it is being made and delivered to your table.  This provides a perfect opportunity to open a bottle of Chianti and toast to a wonderful day.

Your pizza is delivered to you piping hot and after going into your inventory new items you can then pretend to eat it.  I wish someone would come up with a good munch animation that did not make you look like you are chugging a beer.

The details are really quite good. You get the feel of being at a genuine Italian pizzeria.  The colors, the pizza ovens, the display cases – it’s all quite authentic and well executed.

Check out Mama Joan’s next time you have a hankering for a good pie .  The surrounding town is really great as well with lots of little nooks and crannies to explore.

After we finished our last gig on Friday it was time to take a trip out into the grid.  A friend recommended checking out the sim owned by AM Radio so a quick search and teleport transported me into a different world.

This is a full sim and its set up as what looks like a midwestern landscape in the 1930s.  The details are absolutely awe inspiring and real show some of the true potential of creating in Second Life®.

A winter landscape presents itself.  It actually feels like the wind is whipping across the landscape.  A lonely farmhouse comes up and barn invites you to come explore.

It’s a full sim but thankfully I was able to rez up an Ambrosia Shuttle to get around in.  We drove around the landscape admiring the highly detailed objects.

The barn houses intricately crafted items such as this monoplane and antique roadster.  There are so many details to examine closely and the shading and lighting are truly impressive.

The attic of the farmhouse features old chairs and abandoned windmill parts.  Again the detail is really fascinating to see.

If you have some free time from shopping or griefing do yourself a favour and check out this sim.  I think you will really enjoy it. Take your time and really examine the detail closely.

The other day I was just looking around on the map and noticed that several new islands had appeared south of Ambrosia.  There were about ten green dots on one of them so I decided to check out what was there with a random map teleport.

As the place slowly rezzed around me it was apparent that I was in the middle of some sort of mall, well stocked with leather goods and sexual devices. Suddenly the puffy cloud in front of me coalesced and this stoic gentleman appeared before me.  He goes by the name of Lord Harsley and apparently does not have much to say even though I spent the better part of five minutes haranguing him about his choice in clothing.  Maybe he was just afk. Or maybe the silence is part of the act. But something inside me said “wow I like this!”

I think he would make an awesome decoration for the front of the club, much better than say pink flamingos or a jockey holding a ring.   So far he has not returned my instant messages but I refuse to give up hope. Perhaps Gerhardt will see this post and buy that outfit.
