Hi all-- Hex and I will be taking a short break from virtual worlds in early February.  This means Jez (the other me) will be AWOL as well.  Some events will surely occur here during our absence, but I'll be unavailable for inworld emergencies or questions Feb. 2- 9.  During our vacation time, Hex and I will be going camping for a few days, fishing some, seeing some arts events in our community, and doing some of the work that must be done to ready our RL home for sale.  This time away is the reason this month's Belle Demeure newsletter is a two-parter that overlaps with February.  NOTE TO ALL WHO HOST EVENTS AT BELLE DEMEURE:  For inclusion in our next newsletter, please have event listings to me no later than Feb. 9 at 3 AM SLT.  If you would like events listed in our calendar or posted to the SL Events Guide, get them to me by 3 AM the Wednesday before the event is scheduled.  ________________________________________________________________...

Hello friends!  In first life, Hex and I are well into the throes of a Florida winter, meaning I had to wear socks yesterday.  I am happy to report that, In SL, no socks are required and I could wear flip flops every single day if my fashionably manicured avatarian feet did not scream for haute couture.  Of course, there are parts of SL where it is always winter, but, here, at Belle Demeure, it is eternal spring.  I do hope you'll drop by this month to feel the warmth and to see the holiday display in the main salon at the chateau.  Of course, I encourage you to to take in an event or two here as well.  We have quite a lot going on this month.  As always, you are invited.  I hope you'll start by attending IanLee Patton's art exhibit, opening December 2, at our Frostbite-Thane Gallery.  Ian is a well-established artist in his first life, as well as SL. I am sure you'll appreciate his work as much as I.  Later in the month, we'll have a ...

Happy days in Freda Land!  The mystery of how to stream both live singing and backing tracks into virtual worlds simultaneously using Windows 8, Shoutcast, and Reaper has been solved, thanks to my friend Wald Schridde (who performs historical music inworld)!  This means I will soon be able to sing live in virtual worlds!  I am over-the-moon about this and will soon be setting a date for a first inworld gig.  Woo-freaking-Hoo!  I can't even begin to tell y'all how much I have missed doing recitals.    In the meantime, there are some events coming in the next week I hope you will consider attending.  Friday, July 31, 10 AM PST Freda In Progress:  Escape From Pig Hill by Stephanie Mesler Local Voice Writers' Block Café, Book Island, SL http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Book%20Island/211/219/36 It's going to be another rough week for Donny Granger.  First, a run-in with his uncles, which threatens ...

I am slipping gingerly back into virtual worlds activities after several weeks when The SL Decades Festival ate my time and a week of hospitalization (Unrelated. I think.).  Tomorrow will bring my first reading from Escape From Pig Hill in three weeks, so we have some catching up to do.  Monday, I'll be hosting Marita Decosta, as she begins a four-week stint on Book Island.  Marita will be reading  Anne Morrow Lindberg's A Gift From The Sea .  And Saturday, I'll be back at Circe's in SL for the first time in a year or more.  I'll be sharing some new poems and one of the first stories I published, Ermengarde The Expansive.  If you are unfamiliar with Ermengarde, now is the time to make her acquaintance.  She is the princess Disney should have created decades ago and still hasn't.    Friday, July 10, 10 AM PST Freda In Progress, Book Island, SL Escape From Pig Hill   It's Christmas on Pig Hill.  Margaret is dealin...
