First of all, the rented SIMs for Pride were so terrific that everyone wanted to be there - result - the lag was so high that no one could move - LOL. I went for about 10 minutes and that was all I could take - I thought I was going to be catatonic for the rest of my life. But it was beautiful.
On Saturday past - the 30th of June - there was a very ambitious play - on the creation of SL performed by a group of friends for a huge audience on a broad lawn in front of the stage. The Sound was broadcast through a streaming shoutcast server and it was awesome to hear the actors speaking their lines - when it worked. That kind of chat server isn't ready for prime time yet- but it is being worked on and when it is perfected it will be great.
Micah and I went with our friends - we were there with Esmie and Kitten, and with Jay and with Erik. It was lovely and a wonderful way to spend an afternoon in the summer.
After the play we went off to the opening of the Gay Couples of SL exhibit by Marisela Bouchard - a wonderful photographer who has captured the essential quality of so many couples in this show. I do have her photos of me and Micah - so here they are.
Pictures of Esmie and Kitten were in the show, and Jay and Tad, and so many friends. It was lovely - and they are for sale - so GO SUPPORT MARISELA AND HER ART.
Esmie is now the concierge on one of our SIMs - Maupiti - you can read all about it on his blog which is linked here on the right. He and Kitten are working to make Maupiti a marvelous place - Kitten is building for Steph and RJ and Esmie is the go-to guy for everything.
Of all the people I ever met - Esmie was the first to capture my heart. Here is what I said about him in my profile picks in SL -
Esmie is my friend - one of my best friends in the world - any world. We have remained so close over all these months. I know him and he knows me- and we care for each other in a very special way. I have his back - always - and I know he has mine. I would leap in front of a train to save Esmie - and I know he would do the same for me.Esmie - You were my first great love in second life -you had all of my heart in the palm of your hand, and I will always hold your well-being in my soul- i am glad you are my friend - such friends as you are the foundation of the world.
It is a wonderful friendship. Check out his blog - it is wonderful. I don't know what I would do without Esmie - I don't want to find out. Hi Esmie - thanks for being my friend.
Tomorrow is the big Fourth of July celebration - in NY we will have fireworks in the harbor. Last night Esmie Kitten and I and Jamie and Celty put up a fireworks display for Boots Beach - we were testing it out. It was lovely - you can fly up to where the rockets burst and be surrounded by the colors and the lights. Awesome - and you don't need a plane. Hehe.
Have a wonderful Fourth of July everyone - no matter where you live take a moment on Wednesday and say Whoot!!

Thank you Gabie, for trusting me and letting me trust you with anything, at any time. Thank you also for showing how great and true a friendship can be - SL or RL. I love you loads, and I know that won't ever change.
I get all warm and fuzzy (in a decent way ok!!) reading about the very special friendship between you and Esmie.. :)
