New Start at the Travolta Party

 I did not know that it’s been almost 2 years that I have publishing on my BLOG. I am not sure why I did stop. There was a lot going on in my real life and Sweetgrass was closed in June 2022. So, we did stop planning parties. Or better, I did stop planning parties. Some how the fun was over. I did not leave Second Life but I started to rebuilding our sim. I did even build a new T.R.A.C.S club. The last few months a lot happen I my Second Life. I became a performer at TOTH (Theatre On The Hill). I did meet nice caring people and some I became friend with. So I thought this would be a good start “to make both ends meet”.

The film depicts the lives of greaser Danny Zuko (John Travolta). Danny resumes his role as leader of the T-Birds greaser gang.

70s ROLLER DISCO PARTY

On June 7, 2014, we had a roller skate party at T.R.A.C.S.

DJ Anj was our deejay. Maybe you remember. This is the link to the snapshots.

This Saturday we have a roller skate party again and again DJ Anj will be the deejay. I made a post about roller skating in 2014 and I not want to repeat myself: Link to Post.

This time the theme is: 70s ROLLER DISCO PARTY

A roller disco is a discothèque or skating rink where all the dancers wear roller skates of some kind (traditional quad or inline). The music played is modern and easily dance able, historically disco but in modern times including almost any form of dance, pop or rock music. The concept originated as a fad in the 1970s when the disco craze was at its height, peaking around 1980 and inspiring several roller-disco magazines. In 1984 the fad arrived in the United Kingdom and many roller discos popped up all over the country. As of 2006, the craze has largely discontinued, although many 1970s-era roller-discos are still open and successful. Also, it experienced a mild revival in the early 2000s, especially in the mid-eastern United States, where certain clubs continue to host roller disco nights. Some now use in-line roller-blades. Roller discos are also popular among older children and young teenagers, especially for parties. As in other discos, special effects such as fog machines and flashing traffic lights are often used. To minimize the risk of injury, the organizers of roller discos often only allow participants to skate in one direction at a time, so that they do not crash into one another, although many roller discos have a "free skate" section in the middle of the roller rink.

UNDERWATER PARTY at T.R.A.C.S

The entire Island was under water last Saturday.

DJ Corvus got the water boiling with her tunes.

Some guests complained about lag and also Corvus had trouble to stay on the sim.

It could be the shark and other fish that did swim around that gave collision.

So this week it is a lag problem solving week.

Here are the snapshots I made during the party. 

A Week in Second Life

I did not publish a post last week. So let me catch you up.

Theatre on the Hill (TOTH) part 1

Tim and I more often go to the Theatre on the Hill. At one of the shows we did hear some chansons. 

On this picture you see two of the performers, Twerton and Louie.

Chanson

At TOTH we did hear some famous old chansons. A chanson is in general any lyric-driven French song, usually polyphonic and secular. In France today "chanson" or "chanson française" typically refers to the music of singers such as Charles Trenet, Guy Béart, Jacques Brel, Jean Ferrat, Georges Brassens, Édith Piaf, Charles Aznavour, Barbara, Dalida, Serge Reggiani, Léo Ferré, Mireille Mathieu and Serge Gainsbourg and more recently Mano Solo, Dominique A, Matthieu Chedid, Benjamin Biolay, Jean-Louis Murat, Miossec, Mathieu Boogaerts, Daniel Darc, Vincent Delerm, Maurane, Zaz, Bénabar, Christina Goh, Renan Luce, Olivia Ruiz. Chanson can be distinguished from the rest of French "pop" music by following the rhythms of French language, rather than those of English and a higher standard for lyrics.

Quelqu'un m'a dit

Quelqu'un m'a dit (Someone told me) is the debut album of Italian-French singer, model, and former First Lady of France Carla Bruni, released in 2003.

Quelqu'un m'a dit (Someone Told Me)

This melancholy song from which the album draws its name speaks of the sadness of life – "On me dit que nos vies ne valent pas grand chose, / Elles passent en un instant comme fanent les roses." ("They tell me that our lives are not worth very much, / They pass in an instant as roses wilt.") – and that time and fate (destiny) care nothing for us. She forlornly hopes that "you still love me" – "quelqu'un m'a dit / Que tu m'aimais encore," ("Somebody told me / that you loved me still") – recalling that somebody told her, but she cannot remember who.

In that same week Tim and I went to the Candy Fair. 

Candy Fair is an annual fair created for the love of all things candy and sweets! The fair is filled of creations inspired by candy and sweet treats! This is our second year of Candy Fair, bringing back some of the fun aspects of last year on a slightly smaller scale with a completely different overall theme! This years Candy Fair will span across two sims with a theme that will focus around Vintage Candy & Treat Shops! Throwing you into a fun feel of walking down the Candy Shop streets and Gacha Candy Gardens!
