So nice... dancing with my baby again! That's right... we are back on the Second Life grid again.

Tonight, we stopped off at PeKashee for a romantic dance to dj Bodenhall's cool, smooth tunes of RnB, Blues, Jazz and Lounge music.



I missed my baby very much in this place called Second Life... so glad to have him in my arms again!

Partnerships and Friends

Happy Summer to everyone here at THE A LIST!

Our focus of unifying the grid has been a very difficult process. A process that sometimes caused us to almost give up on the hope of making peace within the business and creative communities. We worked hard for you and the majority of our group appreciated the small ways we tried to help.

We created internet properties to bring our photographs, words and promotions for the varying interests here on the Second Life grid. Sometimes, we could not do everything due to a lack of resources and manpower. The successes have been remarkable, though. We see many of you networking together, creating new groups, new offerings and working together in a cohesive way. That is our main success.

We also saw a few that did not support us no matter what we did. And, that was disheartening. Networking is complicated and sometimes people did not see the positive unless their name was up front. That can not happen as there are many in our group and each of you have an important interest here in Second Life.

Our focus now is to move forward, continue to network our group and to provide a vehicle for your interests. Here's to prosperity at the end of this year, 2011! Economy in the US is showing an uptick and that is a very good sign for the entire world. Cheers!

For any questions or concerns, please contact Raftwet or Xavier for further information.

THE A LIST! - Borked Communications!

Hello everyone! Just want to say how difficult posting has been recently for the group, THE A LIST! The new updates to the viewer have been a bit borky for me. My notices are not showing up at my desktop when I am online. They sporadically show up in my email offline, but even there, I am missing quite a few.



When I am online, the notices will come and then some are missing, so posting up to FaceBook has been problematic as I am trying to post for each notice.

Also, as a reminder, I want to let everyone know that only 420 characters are allowed on status post. Make sure you include the slurl or at least the region and the coordinates (that takes less characters than the long slurl). And, I don't want to get into notecards as many of us will not open an unknown link on Facebook! Nooooo! LOL!



Anyway, please have patience as the grid works out the problems within groups and communications for THE A LIST! . I am sometimes not receiving notices... even when I am in-world! So, please do not feel that we are slighting you in any way.

Sigh... the grid is morphing and updating and changing. We will be patient as the LR brings the grid up to speed with all our group needs and communications.

So many people of such incredible talent are performing in Second Life. Live musicians who perform their own compositions and others with talent so rich that they also perform with electronic enhancement.





No matter, these musicians deserve our support. Tonight, Dale Katscher is performing at Key West Resort, Liz Harley's awesome outdoor venue. Dale performs many of his own compositions and when he does a cover, he owns it with his own interpretation.







What I hope is that the avatars in Second Life appreciate the musicianship of each and every musician on this grid. Support each other and thrive as a music industry!

A New Year is here! 2011 is in full swing and it's already January 2nd. Many of you will be going back to work tomorrow on Monday to a full weekly schedule while others are creating new content for the grid; just waiting for the right moment to share it with all of us.


Xavi was busy the last few days contacting special members and loyal old members about new concepts for our group, THE A LIST! Though we (Xavier and Raftwet) both may not agree on every issue, we both agree that it is time to reward our loyal members. Those are the original members who have stuck with us through the growing pains of this group. We all learned along the way that our original concept had credence and worth.





We both thank you all very much!


Our new members, and new friends do not need to fear. We respect this entire group and their personal interests and businesses. We only want to let all of you know how much we honor each and everyone of you.


Please take the time to contact us with any ideas or criticisms while we are in-world. Please keep in mind that your notecards and IM's are not always received by us when we are offline. Both of us have huge inventories, and the grid communication can be a nightmare as it applies to group IMs and offline emails. So, please be patient and try catching us online.





And, again, thank you for your kind support and acknowledgement. We are blessed to have this group! THE A LIST! rocks... and so do you!

Danse, danse, danse...



We stopped at VJ Shojo's Cafe Groove club tonight for a romantic tango to his mash of fusion, jazz, world music.





Relaxed and melting to the tunes, we danced together at Cafe Groove for quite a while.

The rezzday party lasted for two days and it took two days for me to recover! LOL!

The line-up was impressive with Opera Joven's Brent Renard leading the show with operatic selections and mariachi music.

His voice soared through WETLands reverberating against the back drop of the mountains and rivers. It was glorious!



Then our fav Jen Noel, aka The Dealer started a two hour set spinning an eclectic mix of world music, fusion, jazz and even Carmen done in a rock opera style.



Tone Uriza came on next. His voice is the blues... gravel, rock and splashes of jazz. He is also funny... talking smack with the audience and bantering with the fans.



Then came Trav McCullough. The man is romance. The fans come and just melt into his voice. If Brent is opera then Trav is operatic jazz! His voice also soaring throughout the land made me melt into my angels arms as we danced outdoors under the starry sky.



What a weekend! Thank you to everyone who helped out! We luvsya all!
