I am back, for Thanksgiving!

And here I am again after three days in the realm of the Swiss industry.


Looking at the ceiling, in the same bar, with the same good music playing in my earphones.

Not really the same tune, but the same good music, yes.

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
Jules Renard, (1864 - 1910)

Caissa invites me to three Thanksgiving events tomorrow:

1) AMBROSIA DANCE PARTY THANKSGIVING BLOWOUT (2.00pm - 5.00pm) (hard rock)

2) THANKSGIVING TREASURE HUNT in Corinston (3.00pm)

3) ROMANTIC NIGHTS UNDER THE STARS - SALSA HEAVEN Gentlemen must wear a TUXEDO or a SUIT (Shirt & Tie or including a Vest is possible)
Ladies must wear a long DRESS or a COCKTAIL DRESS
A Mini-Skirt is not allowed

Thanksgiving is a typically American holiday...The lavish meal is a symbol of the fact that abundant consumption is the result and reward of production.
Ayn Rand, US (Russian-born) novelist (1905 - 1982)

Good music on Sunday night

Before resuming my chores in Basle, I am listening good music at The Blarney Stone Irish Bar.


My friend Arm joined me for a while.

One day I will have to post here some of her nice stills, she just won a contest in SL.

1000L$, for a newbie it's not so bad.

Good job Arm;)

René Descartes is smiling, a mermaid came in and winded down on the floor.

Strange said Arm.

Yes, there are strange things nowadays...

See you soon guys.

Of all noises, I think music is the least disagreeable.
Samuel Johnson, English author, critic, & lexicographer (1709 - 1784)

Shamrock

From the Irish clubs of Dublin to the Shamrock.



What is the Shamrogue Island Project?

Shamrogue Island is a virtual world sim development project inspired by a real world proposal to create three islands in the middle of Dublin Bay forming the shape of a giant shamrock, connected by a causeway "stem" to the Dublin mainland. Approval for this real world proposal is pending. *coffHOAXcoff*coffPUBLICITYPLOYcoff* In the meantime, approval and funding WERE received to build Shamrogue Island in Second Life.

What will Shamrogue Island in Second Life have to offer?

Second Life residents will enjoy in Dublin 2 Shamrogue Island all the things they enjoy in Dublin 1, including: a photorealistic themed immersive build, regular live music events, special festivals, and regular simulcasts. Two entertainment venues are being added as well as custom shops and residences. The sim is terraformed at five levels for a variety of experiences getting around, including: air (flying), ground (walking, driving), sea surface (swimming, sailing), underwater (diving), and seabed (trenches, chambers).

Who is building Shamrogue Island?

Ham Rambler is owner and business manager of Dublin in SL, whose vision brought about the Shamrogue Island expansion project. Sitearm Madonna is the project and development manager, master planner and terraformer. Kal Hocken is the overall concept designer and custom builder for functional structures such as the Viking Boat Office Towers and the Innovative Contemporary Art Gallery. Dane Benford is the custom builder for specialty structures such as the Causeway Bridge and Dublin Yacht Club Docks. Additional custom work is being commissioned.

When will Shamrogue Island be ready?

The Shamrogue Island Grand Opening is currently targeted for St. Patrick's Day, 2008. There will likely be a Sneak Preview before this date.

What else should I know?

Dublin Coastal Development

The Lilly may fade and its leaves decay,
The Rose from its stem may sever,
The Shamrock and Thistle may pass away,
But the Stars will shine forever.
David Graham

But the shamrock has the form of a star, isn't it?

Another nice Irish club in Dublin

Fibber Magees Nightclub

An Irishman is the only man in the world who will step over the bodies of a dozen naked women to get to a bottle of stout.
