I'm still in the process of selecting a new NWN Events writer, but fortunately, Chestnut Rau has a great list of upcoming events on her blog, including an in-world appearance of Second Life founder Philip Linden next Monday, and tonight at 6pm, a live appearance by SL performer Winston Ackland, whose cover of Nirvana's "Lithium" is currently being featured in the massive Hollywood hit, Marley & Me. (Salon's film reviewer found it a distraction, though Metroactive praises it as a fitting counterpoint to the visuals.) Anyway, read more of Chestnut's upcoming choices here.
I also received a slew of event listings from Ozzy Wozniak (love the name, dig his list) proprietor of the SLURL Twitter feed. Here's two happening today:
12pm SLT - Six Trends For Enterprise Architecture

6:30pm SLT - Virtually speaking with Ian Welsh

Read more after the break.

7pm
Moulin Rouge
The Moulin Rouge has a long and rich history mocking the aristocracy while entertaining them as well. Burlesque is a kind of bohemian parodist show born from Victorian England and later imported to the United States. Burlesque makes fun of the world, the habits and the past times of the Nuevo rich in order to entertain the less well-to-do classes. Through the performance of extravagant numbers sensuality is transformed into comedy and offers a parody of femininity. We hope you enjoy this fine performance of the Moulin Rouge Revue Dancers.
SUNDAY JANUARY 18th
4pm
First Church of Rosedale
Have you accepted Philip Linden as your personal lord and savior? Would you like to be rezzed again? Or would you just like to know more? Come join us for fellowship, prayer, and banter! The First Church of Rosedale (Immersionist) is devoted to the worship of Philip Linden, known in First Life as Philip Rosedale, founder of Linden Lab. It is believed to be the first church devoted to a Second-Life-centric religion. Those of all colors, sizes, furs, and historical eras are welcome.

"The Nut" Ballet
A slightly abridged retelling of "The Nutcracker". By performing in an Internet virtual space, it breaks geo-Olmannen
