Get Lucky

Over the past few weeks, Strum Diesel launched a new album, and Mankind Tracer's third album was released yesterday on BOSL radio! Here's the scoop on the more than 3 year singing veteran Mankind and the release of his The Depth of Shadows.

Strum's new CD album, Lucky, was launched on a his new Lucky region!

The release party for his new album brought together loyal and new fans at his new region called Lucky, a performance space conceived by Strum and built and designed by Jacobo Sands, Rowan Argus, and Genevieve SIlvercloud. It is his "dream place" and includes a roof top performance park, lobby, space disco lounge, swing set, treehouse, and his mp3/album vendor, along with some other surprises. He is one of eight RL/SL artists featured on the sim hosted by Studio Genre. In celebration and support of the album, he invited Geos Copperfield, Tarragon Pelous, and the band Dead Heathers to perform during the launch festivities in 30 minute sets.

In his new album, Strum offers original, intelligent compositions with a grassroots message. To learn more about Strum (a.k.a. Sean), visit his site at http://www.myspace.com/seankagalis.

His Lucky performance space is at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Ahura/159/41/39.

Starting Sunday, July 18th, I will be playing at least one hour of SL finest music - fresh off the grid, including selections from Strum and Mankind, among others.

Hope you tune in weekly.

Opium Tales: The Time Machine

Above! A series of photos of the models and audience shots from the fashion show - Opium Tales: The Time Machine - on July 1st. It was a great show. Bottom photo was just a cool pic of me as I rezzed in after crashing. The whole setting was awesome. The coordination was brilliant. Lots of fantasy and fun. I can't wait for the next Opium Tale!

Spacing Out With Soni!

Shock and I attended an extraordinary machinima ceremony this weekend. Many attended the screening, hosted by the University of Western Australia, that honored space exploration. UWA collaborated with the National Space Society in organizing the "NSS in SL" machinima contest/exhibition screening. The award ceremony happened on Saturday! The point of the contest was to commemorate the mission of the NSS in space exploration and to challenge the technical and artistic expertise of machinimatophers.

I will report on the events and the winner in the July issue of Best of SL Magazine!. The events took place at the UWA-BOSL Amphitheater. Just some fun personal photos here - mostly me and shock!

Reading, Writing and Radio

It was totally cool to see so many media people turn out for my book launch party on Sunday, June 6th. I didn't have time to take pics during the day - Imagine that, lol. But I do have pics from BOSL Radio's live remote there, with Sunnshine Koolhoven, deejaying. There were some jokes about Soni and Sunni teaming up for a radio show -

I would like that!

AVIEW TV's Sophie Yates caught the events!

First, there's the media tour: http://www.aviewtv.com/videos/2460/

Then we had a media screening of some of various media works, followed by a keynote by BOSL Media King Frolic Mills and then I said my thank yous (same video after Frolic) to the many people included in the book - and the friends I have met along the way. Many thanks to SL Enquirer CEO Lanai Jarrico for this kind article (Movers and Shakers) on the event.

AcouticEnergy's concert was recorded too - look here!

All in all I great day!

Here's a few pics of what I wore for the opening ceremonies!

And my good friend and biz partner (Lowe Runo Productions LLC) created a portrait of me - immortalizing my special moment in that luscious gold dress.

And here's what I wore for the party! Thanks to PRISM CEO Journey McLaglen. Journey is definitely a fashion artist! Beautiful work!

Thank you so much to Maxes Loon, CEO of Moolto, for helping me with my book launch. So many people came to support me, and we had fun with the all day activities. Special thanks to BOSL Radio CO-CEO Persia Bravin, Machinima Artist Guild Founder Lowe Runo, BOSL CEO Frolic Mills, Famous Blogger Kara Trapdoor - and of course the wonderful Chicagoland SL CEO Shock Soderstrom, my RL husband/SL Partner.

Here's some post event photos to check out:
