Komuso Tokugawa played an amazing show at the Oyster Bay aquarium in Oyster last week. Photos from the show, with the Man in Red playing to a filled-up Oyster Sim and a half-filled Shepherd sim....not to mention sharks, jellyfish, etc....are on display at the Oyster Bay Market in Shepherd through February 15. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Shepherd/250/100/95/

Journey to the Memory Garden opens at 4pm. This intriguing show uses the Photography Studio of Grignano as a portal - tp to the exhibit from the landmark included in the informational notecard in the upstairs gallery.

"The Grid of Passion," my recent SL machinima entry in NBC's "It's Your Show" contest, raised some eyebrows but lost out to a live-action, sketch-comedy-type entry.

Machinima is new to many real-world viewers -- many think it is "animation." I set them straight as best as I can (see the comments underneath the video at the link below). For more details, see page 25 of last week's Metaverse Messenger.

Hamlet has been talking lately of caves - i thought it'd be a good time to announce my own sim-filling seven mile long cave project.

The caves are really quite cool. Spent a couple hours wandering already. Note that, due to the altitude, you'll need some form of flight assist to get around. I ended up whipping up a quick and dirty mouselook-driven assist attachment on the spot, just so I wouldn't have to leave to procure a suitable one. The script is linked from here if anyone would like to use it.
