2010.04.21 07:00 - Yakuzza's Happy Hour

The Guardian for this meeting was Eden Haiku. The comments are by Eden Haiku. 

Yakuzza and I had met at Art of Being plaza where I was trying again to link the pieces of my art project, reading again the notecard about linking objects. We talked in voice for a while and then walked together to the pavilion where I was standing for Eliza this morning. As we sat there and discovered there was only the two of us, we naturally kept talking in voice. Yakuzza agreed about the fact that I was going to summarize our conversation for the log. We covered a few subjects: languages and accents mainly. The secret of Yaku's excellent English accent was revealed: he learnt a lot by playing interactive games on Internet! We talked about how much we liked using voice in Second Life. For Yakuzza, it is mainly because of the fact that he often feels too uncertain about concepts to put them into writing. For me, it is mainly because voices add so much new dimensions to what is being said. 

Yakuzza then shared a project he had discussed with Bleu before: he was thinking his contribution to the village life could be an 'Happy Hour' in voice chat, about PaB topics. He would like to hold a gathering in the pavilion, one hour before his session which is scheduled on Fridays at 1pm SLT. This "Happy Hour"(I guess he had in mind something closer to Lia's "Happy Place" than to the 2 drinks for the price of one thingy…) would then be at noon SLT every Friday, with Yakuzzasan as the moderator. 

I was very enthusiastic about his project and we had been discussing this for about half an hour when Lucinda showed up. We reverted to written chat and Yakuzza got a chance to put his project in writing in his own words. Cosmicflower joined us about 15 minutes later, then I had to take a call and was AFK quite a while. When I came back, everybody was gone!

Yakuzza Lethecus: hi eden :)

--BELL--

Eden Haiku: Hi Lucinda!
Yakuzza Lethecus: good morning lucinda
Lucinda Lavender: good morning...
Lucinda Lavender: Yakuzza...I love to see you drinking your coffee or whatever...
Eden Haiku: Yakuzza and I were using voice chat as there were only the two of us here.

--BELL--

Eden Haiku: Do you use voice chat sometimes Lucinda?
Lucinda Lavender: yes
Yakuzza Lethecus: We were just talking about the use of voice and that it might be an interesting idea to make an happy hour using voice to actually talk about perceptions and alike.
Lucinda Lavender: yes it is so interesting to hear tone of voice
Eden Haiku: I think it is a great idea!
Yakuzza Lethecus: By suggestion even bound to a topic but as an open place for free associations around pab as the basic ground element.
Lucinda Lavender: ah! now I am drinking coffee!
Lucinda Lavender: thanks
Yakuzza Lethecus: de nada :)
Eden Haiku: Yakuzza was suggesting having a kind of 'happy hour on voice chat here in the pavilion from moon to 1pm,SLT
Yakuzza Lethecus: on fridays before my guardian session was my plan
Lucinda Lavender: cool
Eden Haiku: *from noon to 1pm SLT everyday (What was I thinking?)
Lucinda Lavender: the dream circles I have attended were with voice
Eden Haiku: Oh, sorry, I did not get that correctly...
Yakuzza Lethecus: hehe, that would be an idea if it works out :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: but SL is already taking a lot of time
Eden Haiku: That is a problem with voice chat: sometimes we do not hear correctly, at least I don't...
Yakuzza Lethecus: so i wouldn't go into something daily, right away
Eden Haiku: No, you are right Yakuzza, Friday from noon to 1pm for now seems best!
Yakuzza Lethecus: happy hour only because i rarely meet ppl in the village and it's good to have a fixed place in time
Eden Haiku: Would you be willing to start this Friday?
Yakuzza Lethecus: i would
Lucinda Lavender: that sounds nice
Yakuzza Lethecus: most of the americans are still working than that is the only negative element
Eden Haiku: Would you like me to write an email to announce it?
Lucinda Lavender: now i seem to be floating and typing...
Yakuzza Lethecus: yeah, that would be interesting we could even start doing it together
Lucinda Lavender: maybe after drinking coffee...something changed
Eden Haiku: You are floating like in dreamland Lucinda :)
Lucinda Lavender: not sure why
Yakuzza Lethecus: lucinda just took a new step in the direction of enlightened being
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Eden Haiku: Sure. I would be there for sure :)
Eden Haiku: Yes, very advanced soul Lucinda, she levitates already!
Lucinda Lavender: I cannot be there until 1pm but I would attend maybe by 12:30
Eden Haiku: The 'happy hour' designation reminds me of Lia's happy place...
Yakuzza Lethecus: that's fine, lucinda
Yakuzza Lethecus: yeah, her happyplace she mentioned on malta
Eden Haiku: Nice Lucinda! That would be lovely to hear your voice! I love hearing voices!
Yakuzza Lethecus: There used to be happy hours in the kira cafe, but nobody attended.
Lucinda Lavender: I seem to be typing without actually doing so
Eden Haiku: Yes, I went there once at Kira cafe.
Yakuzza Lethecus: SL 2.0 ?
Lucinda Lavender: yes
Lucinda Lavender: maybe I have stopped now
Yakuzza Lethecus: Advanced->Stop animating me
Eden Haiku: Ah ah tricky new viewer...
Lucinda Lavender: thanks
Eden Haiku: Ah, you are standing now Lucinda.
Lucinda Lavender: there
Lucinda Lavender: back to normal
Eden Haiku: Did you recall a dream recently?
Lucinda Lavender: did nothing but stand and sit
Yakuzza Lethecus: No i am not that much of a lucid dreamer but the dream workshop made me much more aware of that and focused me on elaborating upon dreams more.
Yakuzza Lethecus: I think i talked to lucinda about that :)
Lucinda Lavender: no dreams of late...sorry to say but I was able to meet with a friend in rL and discuss the dreams we had in feb and march
Yakuzza Lethecus: Have you listened to some of those lectures on itunesU i gave u the link to lucinda ?
Eden Haiku: You were attending Maxine's dream workshop? How nice. I never was able to attend.

Eden Haiku: Sharing about dreams like that with a friend must be very precious Lucinda.
Lucinda Lavender: That was my grandmothers name:)
Lucinda Lavender: yes...we often find commonalities
Eden Haiku: Synchronicity...
Eden Haiku: Talking about your granparents and Cosmic calling you by your grandmother's name...
Lucinda Lavender: it points to a certain fertility of information of the dream
Lucinda Lavender: yes!
Lucinda Lavender: that too
Cosmicflower Ushimawa: ah, is your grandma Lucy?
Eden Haiku: I like the expression "Fertility of information",
Cosmicflower Ushimawa: ;)

Cosmicflower Ushimawa: but about fun and food shopping, there have been fun when boys were 4,3 and 2. Hmm, those things where to put food when going to shop, there were 3 boys and the food in there
Cosmicflower Ushimawa: if not put boys there, they all would have gone to run different directions ;)
Cosmicflower Ushimawa: its much easier nowdays ;)
Yakuzza Lethecus: :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: I would suggest to bind them all together, but ppl might think that's not humane *joking*
Cosmicflower Ushimawa: yes, they would give some interesting thought energy :)
Yakuzza Lethecus sneakes away, take care you both
