Ambrosia Dance Club

Well, It’s the start of another work week and the party is kicking off at Ambrosia. Actually the party never really starts or stops. It just goes on 24/7 lately. If you look at the calendar you will see that there are very few gaps in the schedule anymore. Poor Dj Radio is on the unemployment line.

Occasionally, RL steps in the way like when DJ Starlyt had to cancel her 6am shift due to dental work. Hard to talk with a mouth full of Novocaine. DJ Bethy came in with a friend and attempted to have him strip down to his camo underwear and dance in the middle of the floor but it was a no go. She will have to settle for shirtless on Cody Corvale.

Is Bethy breaking a sweat?

DJ Noiz came on at 10 am for his rockin’ set. Noiz loves to mix in popular tunes with some harder edged rock. A lot of DJs in the crowd for that set including the notorious Geemix who took the mix at Noon. Geemix’s set is something that every second Lifer should experience. He has a Scottish brogue that must be heard to be believed and the energy level of a 7-year-old hopped up on Red Bull. He always features cutting edge dance remixes of today’s music.

DJ Aditi pops on the mix at 2 PM. Crowd ebbs and flows like the tide. Aditi is a brand new dj here with a soft and sultry southern US voice and a really great mix of Popular music and mash ups. She has a gorgeous avatar that compliments her voice. I was noticing her outfit today and remarked that she was wearing more prims than on the entire club build. It certainly is a wow outfit to match a wow DJ.

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.
