U MAY HAVE TO CLICK THIS VIDEO BOX IN ORDER TO VIEW THE LIVE BROADCAST

Sure, I’ll admit, I had slight anxiety over this broadcast…but once the camera’s started rolling and the curtains opened up…and all the amazing patience and positive energy coming from my fans, it was as easy as breathing!  I stood on my wooden stage, with a view of bright stars, animated giant guitars, flowers and a colorful display of virtual dress, flexi colors waving around, stars moving from beneath me and a full 30 minutes to dive into nothing buy my own Original Songs. Treet.tv was wonderful…patient as always. We ended up starting a bit later than scheduled due to the Treet Tv live stream which was also up, for people that couldn’t make it to the live show, so they could view it on the Tv.

Now, upon watching it, a couple days afterwards, there are a few things I would have done differently. MOUTH HUDS…get used to them, they are incredible. I didn’t have time to play with this great little piece of technology enough to make it work for me, so I have been completely distracted if I Watch the Video…when the camera is on my avatar’s face…the lips just aren’t quite moving the way I would have liked them to. My avatar looks like she is going through a series of constant surprises, opening her mouth and sucking in some air with this Startled look on her face. It makes me laugh…so this is always a good thing eh? And I would also like to get more familiar with the animated stage moves that come along with Live Tv Broadcasts in Second Life.       Considering SL is a virtual atmosphere, people work very hard to create content and scripts that allow us to be as much like our Physical real life selves as possible (if we so choose to look like we really do..) So, a microphone is set up that has built in scripted animations…to make the performer move in a way that they feel most comfortable.  Someone else controls your animations (if you so choose to have that..or if it is TreetTV) So my friend and Live n Kickin Host “DELINDA” was in charge of the animations. We went through them all before showtime, and it worked out quite well.  It’s best not to watch yourself when performing HAA!!!

All in all, the crowd and staff of Treet.Tv were amazing, the filming went great, and the compliments on my Living Room #13 Art Shack were never ending. Considering I built that one myself, I was quite pleased that people enjoyed the Flow of color, textures and the interactive things I have placed everywhere … as I do in all my creations!  I’ve had the Original Living Room #13 for about 5 years now…and LOVE LOVE it…it was built by Attim Hokkagai….after some time, I decided to add onto it…The Art Shack!!! It’s located above Gwampa Lomu’s fantastic sims and it’s because of him, that my Living Room #13 continues to thrive with fantastic events and musicians.  This is NOT to be confused with the Look Alike LIving Room #13 where Lauren Weyland does her show!!! She’s a great friend as well, and of course asked permission to Build her place similar to mine…you’ll have to check her out  on the grid!!

Again Thank you Everyone for all your support and for being part of my journey both in the virtual world, and in my physical life!

Still Looking for some Music? Check out #13…my newest release and my least expensive.  I am currently NOT using iTunes and choose to sell my Cd’s the old fashioned way…by having them delivered direct to your mailbox…so you can hold it in your hand and do as you wish with it. Untitled #13’s Tab is located at the top of this page.

MUCH PEACE!!!!

Cleaning Virtual Spaces and a Lovely #13

Suzen JueL #13 - by Alan SeegerIt was a THRILL today, to feel like I actually got things done.  For the past 2 weeks since I have quit smoking, I’ve had a LOT of energy…and really needed to change the scenery around me, in this space, I call ‘my studio lounge’…it’s home within home.  It all started out during a conversation with my Mom….how we tend to Hold onto things, find it hard to get rid of that ONE sock you ca n’t find the other match for, BUT YOU MIGHT, so you hold onto it, and other useless things, old mail, notes, papers, things I no longer use or wear. FIVE Trash bags later, and I had ROOM again for well, SPACE…then I moved onto the other room, cleaned it out, emptied dressers, and it’s now used as a guest room, storage room and photo room…THEN to this Lounge here….HOLY CRAP do I ever have a bunch of USELESS STUFF, and all those papers that I write Notes on, so I don’t forget..O..I found those, but I have no idea what they mean anymore!

Apparently doing this triggers other things to happen, like creativity finds it’s way back into your world, cuz you um…HAVE ROOM for it…and it creates this ebb and flow of timelessness. For lack of a better way to explain. I updated as many old websites as I could. I added new songs on my new Uvumi Site. I added new pieces to a series I’m working on called “Shabby Espesso Heart”  more or less of a Valentines Project.  You might like to have a peek! My Art on Etsy!

Just sharing some stuff.  Also, I’m working on a way to get a perm. box on the side, for the Untitled #13 CD, as I currently have a Cover for it, done by my good friend Alan Seeger who you might  know as Phoenix Psaltry. He has offered to do art for the Untitled CD, and since I mail my discs out in Bright colored paper sleeves, I have no room on it for art work….So instead it’s Perfect for the Icon to purchase the cd…it will link direct to paypal.  It is unlikely I will be putting #13 up on iTunes anytime soon. But you can still purchase the other two cd’s there, or individual songs.  New things are still happening with thissite…So don’t surprised if things get a little re arranged from time to time, or Often (depends on my mood eh?)

Have a Big Bag of Peace!

Enter Your Suggestion- CONTESTS ENDS MONDAY 12AM CST

I have never struggled so much, as I have with this CD.  The original title, based on the song Roadmap, has faded, as the CD and it’s list of songs, has progressed, so have the ideas.  I have decided to mix this CD with some Live content, stories for the songs, some poetic acoustic….some blues and quite a flavor of lyrical visuals.  Many of you have pre ordered the disc, even though it’s Untitled, not unfinished :)   I guess just because something doesn’t have a name, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

Below is a blog about all the songs listed on the cd…and perhaps I’ll have a listening party, and you can tune in….listen to the flavor of it, and decide on a title that you think is appropriate. I’m struggling with it. The person who comes up with a Title, that really fits my bones, and fits the cd (i’m VERY particular) will win a copy of the 13 song disc, as well as an original Art Piece.  Not to mention I’ll drop your name on the CD as the creator of the title.
