Well, the shows this weekend went pretty well. Did the smart thing and only played Crazy Sharks for a half hour. Smart for two reasons; one, to give my back a chance to get used to sitting in a chair again, and two, Dru only had half as much time to be mean 
Woke up this morning with my back screaming at me, but I really wanted to play the shows I had lined up, so I fought my way through. It’s actually not too bad until I try to stand up…that takes a while to straighten out. Bluestar Music Temple is a beautiful venue, and I would love to go back. I found it interesting that the host said everything in 3 languages. I have friends in SL from all over the world, but things like that really make you realize that SL is truly an international deal now.
After a hot bath and a little pre-show relaxation, I headed over to Drift’s party. The stage was dead center of 4 adjoining sims, with audience seating and dancing areas all around. Drift was on stage with us musicians, and aside from a quick realization that everyone ‘cept me was in some sort of formal wear, I had a great time. My first weekly gig was at The Lily Pad, and even though I only played there for a few months, I learned a lot from Drift, and I’ll never forget the support she gave. There are probaby close to 100 musicians that can say something like that, and I’m proud to have been asked to celebrate and thank Drift for her work.
Prankster’s is canceled for tomorrow night…they’re having a hard time finding a Monday host that can be there at 5 SLT, and it’s probably a good idea for me to rest my back for a day or two.
The only thing I have scheduled so far for this week is on Saturday. I’m taking part in opening The Sunshine Daydream, a new Dead related club run by Grateful Stryker and the fine folks that run Crystal Sands. Not sure of the time yet, but it looks like it’ll be around mid-afternoon Second Life Time. More than likely there’ll be more scheduled as the week goes on.
