Upgrades In Twilight.

I went through and upgraded the Hippo Rental system I use in Twilight. You can now add partners or roommates to your rental box. So please let me know any partners or room mates you want added to your rent box. This will come in handy later as I implement some new features. I have have purchased some additional modules I will figure out how to install and implement. These include, Security, Teleport, Visitorlist and Tinting windows. I may not be able to implement the tinting windows with out remodeling some existing structures so you may not see that for awhile.

I wanted to remind you that the En Garde fencing game is over by the gazebo. It is a lot of fun. You will need someone to play with though. If you find it a lot off fun pleas feel free to join the Magic Dragon's team by choosing "Join Team". You can also bet on the game if you like. It is for all of you and your friends so please enjoy it.

Opening Night at Twilight Blues & Jazz Club

Thank you all for coming to the opening. It was a lot of fun and a great success. KelvinBlue gave a great show. The club peaked at about 35 people and kept a steady 32 most of the evening. Lag wasn't any worse than any other packed club. Hennessey kept on top of it all, making sure the music was going and people were happy. Imogene kept the bar flowing and I just hung out and danced.

It was great seeing old friends and making some new ones. I was sorry some of you couldn't make it but maybe next time. I still owe a few of you dances. We will do some more live music and occasional DJs. The club is there also for you to come and hang out with friends. Don't forget to bring your sweetheart to the club for moonlight dancing on the back patio.It is there for your enjoyment.

It was good to see so many of you having fun.

First Opening

Thanks to Hennessey Sautereau, the Twilight Blues & Jazz Club will have it's opening at 7:00 PM SLT on Wednesday March 5th. Bluesman KelvinBlue Oh will be on stage from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM

Here is the copy on KelvinBlue. "From lowdown roots blues to boogie woogie to flaming covers of his idol Hendrix, Kevin has become a real star in Second Life, which has allowed his honest performances and down home humor to instantly connect him with an international audience that knows and holds on to real talent when they see it"

Twilight Local News (February 24, 2008)

We have a few changes in Twilight. We have the addition of couple of new residents and another resident moving on.

Aishia had wanted to build a store and a studio in the corner where Ermartos' house was. She wanted a big-box type store that didn't fit with the Twilight community. She found another Sim to put it on. She will be around now and then working in sandbox.

I few new faces include Ruccus Short and his friends Georgia Earnshaw, Ruccus has opened a bookstore with camping chairs for SL newcomers in the corner store on main street across from the club and also the apartment above Free Store. Kiyla Dreamscape is also a new Twilight resident renting the upstairs apartment next to the Museum and Gallery. If you see them please welcome them to our community.

For some interesting fun and avie exorcise, Brenda has added a fencing game over by the classroom gazebo. I haven't had a chance to try it out. I hope you will give it a try. Maybe we can develop a Twilight fencing team.

I should have the upper floor spaces of the buildings behind the gazebo available for rent as either commercial or residential space by the time you read this or shortly after.

I continue to do everything I can to keep Twilight lag to a minimum. The unfortunate part of SL growth is that the Second Life itself seems to get laggy as the total numbers of residence on line keeps breaking new records.

Twilight gets a Blues Jazz Club

We now have our own club in Twilight. It still needs a name. I am open to suggestions. Kerry pointed out that it is a little to large to call it a bistro. I guess I got a little carried away. It is currently streaming blues and has both single and doubles dance balls. The singles dance ball is up above the back door and the couples dance balls are on pedestals, one in the corner by the bar and one by the back door so you can dance on the back deck with the a view of the water. I really don't have the time to coordinate events there. If any body wants to use it for one please feel free. I bought an Internet radio but haven't installed it yet. Once it is installed Twilight residents should be able to change stations.

I am very happy with how it turned out but I am sure I will continue to tinker around and improve on it. I am also open to suggestions and ideas. It has been fun building it and imagining people using it. The sidewalk tables are great to sit around and share ideas or just hang out. Come by and hang out, dance or have a seat at the bar. Feel the atmosphere and send me suggestions for a name.

Twilight Park

I have been giving a lot of thought to Twilight Park. It is a beautiful place to watch a sunrise or sunset. Not much has been done to it for quite awhile. The picture above is an older picture of the park when the cathedral was next to it. Most of the park is donations from different Twilight residents. I have only been thinking about working on the park because I don't have the permissions to move most of the objects in the park. In order for me to change it I will have to return a lot of the objects and replace them. I kind of like the connection with past it still has. I am going to leave the park where it is and add more area to it. I will have to return items as begin to edit the terrain some. I will bring in some more trees other vegetation. I will also add more places to sit and paths to walk on. I am trying to fit it a stream and bridge also. The Park will always remain an important part of Twilight.

With her permission, I want to share a poem my dear friend and fellow Twilight resident, Maia Pienaar wrote about Twilight Park. I think many of us have shared this experience there.

Twilight

I watch the sun slip into dark
As scarlet clouds disect the blue
Across the skies at Twilight Park.
The moon and stars slip into view.
The white tipped waves, in constant motion
Hush and crush against the shore
And sieve the sands back to the ocean
To churn them loudly out once more.
Bird song dwindles into one,
A poignant plaintive piquant voice
Of days gone by and nights to come
And promised reasons to rejoice.
When night meets day in Twilight skies
I rest my soul, and dry my eyes.

--Maia Pienaar
