The Jersey Boys Get A Secondlife

Sometimes you hear about something that’s just too good to pass up and share with your friends.  We’ve got such a thing coming up this week at the Waterfront Theater on T’ai.

The actors and crew of Waterfront, the same ones who brought you The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert  are bringing back a production of their version of The Jersey Boys! 

Many don’t realize the commitment and sacrifice these talented people go through in order to bring you productions like this.  I have an unconfirmed rumor that the actor in the lead role of Franky has gone through extensive reconstructive surgeries to transform his normal tall and athletic frame to that of the small, somewhat frail Franky.  I’ve also been told that was not enough for his normal rich baritone to be able to reach some of the signature Franky high notes.  A specially fabricated appliance will be worn and the director will be off stage utilizing a wireless remote to carefully time appliance “adjustments” to help reach those particularly high notes.

Don’t miss this once in a lifetime repeat performance of The Jersey Boys this Friday, February 27, 2015 at 3PM SLT.

General admission seating will be available, so please arrive early.  The show begins promptly at 3PM SLT at the T'ai Waterfront Theater and will be full hour of great entertainment!

To help get in the Friday night mood for fun, begin by dancing at Girls on Film on Chi with DJ Tanya beginning at 2PM SLT.  After the show, rejoin DJ Tanya at Punta Hydra.

Full Monty Performance Coming Soon (yes... again!)

That's right, but things will be a little different this time.  The performers this time will be the Waterfront Dancers joined by SL Surfing Association Team Tai Chi!

This is not your typical dance show, but a play.  Waterfront management encourages everyone to show up a little early, get all your IM's and group notices out of the way so you will be able to enjoy the entire show and follow the story line.

This will be a stage show based upon the movie and will be great fun.   And yes,  performers do end up doing the FULL MONTY!!!!!

When asked what she thought of the first performance, one member of the audience ( after being revived with smelling salts) could only utter, "Hubba, Hubba, Hubba".  Honest!  Would I make something like that up?

When:  February 7, 2015
Time:   3PM SLT
Where: The Waterfront Theater on Tai

Hope to see all of you there!

** All proceeds from this show will be given to help pay rent for the historic T'ai and Ch'i surfing sims **

What To Do If You Have Crabs

The week long celebration of El Diablo's 1st year as a SecondLife public surfing sim begins today at 5AM SLT with a daily sim-wide hunt.  Below is Brooke's explanation of how the hunt will work:

"Ok it's time for the hunt.. I wish it was as simple as go look for a Red Crab but its not. We figure we make you work for some of the gifts we have for you, like.....

His and hers Shark tooth necklace and earrings. Mesh bikini for her and board shorts for him. Beach towels with single female, male and couple animations. Ponchos with hud control texture change. Beach chairs..  I could go on but thats just some of the gifties we have for you. Now, how to find them.

The hunt will work this way: you will find clues hidden in the RED starfish located around Diablo. If you have never seen those, well you need to look around. Clicking on a RED starfish gives you fun facts about Baja wildlife or about the special places and history of Diablo itself. But now some of these RED starfish will also contain a clue on where to find a dreaded RED CRAB containing your prize. Quick recap, find the RED STARFISH with the clue in it then find the RED CRAB. 

Each day for 7 days, at 5 am SL time, a new clue will be hidden in a different RED starfish leading you to a new RED CRAB. Get the crabs and see a doctor, no i mean get the prizes. Once in place, all clues and crabs will remain until Saturday, February 7th, at 5 pm SL TIME. You will have a whole week to find the first one, but less than one day to find the last.

VERY IMPORTANT!!! When you find the red starfish, take a few minutes and read the note, not just the clue. Edumacate yourself on Diablo. Our Diablo Birthday Bash will be on Saturday the 7th, from 6pm to 9pm SL Time. ONE lucky person will win the BIG 3 PRIZE: a set one-of-a-kind Limited Edition Diablo Anniversary C-3 surfboards (Official surfboards of Scorpion Bay). There will be a trivia contest based on information in the notes found in the red starfish. You do NOT need to be present to win, but you must come to the party at some point and answer one of the questions correctly to be eligible for the drawing. SO READ THE NOTES!!!

We hope you enjoy hunting for the crabs as much as we enjoyed giving them to you. Ok that didn't come out right.  

Good Luck, have fun.

Your friends at Diablo"
