Winter solstice celebrations

Dash Earthboy: btw, how does one party on the Winter Solstice?

Korel Laloix: By staying warm I think.
Dash Earthboy: how warm are you staying these days Korel?

Aphrodite Macbain: dance, eat, drink, leap over bonfires,
Aphrodite Macbain: eat some more, dance some more,
Aphrodite Macbain: and stay up past midnight which is a bit of a challenge in SL
Aphrodite Macbain: I like it b/c is its common to all cultures and religions
Aphrodite Macbain: an agrarian tradition
Aphrodite Macbain: death and rebirth etc

Aphrodite Macbain: oops Dash and Fc poofed!

Aphrodite Macbain: It must have been hard to study and write exams if you were sick Korel
Aphrodite Macbain: Did you have pneumonia?
Korel Laloix: No, just bad flu, but I am crap at taking care of myself and grandma and her son were out of town.
Korel Laloix: So Erin came over to chat and evidently I was sort of out of it and I have lost a few pounds.
Korel Laloix: So she took me to the emergency room.
Aphrodite Macbain: glad she came by!
Korel Laloix: I am to.
Aphrodite Macbain: So are you eating very carefully- yogurt, rice etc?
Korel Laloix: Yes.

Aphrodite Macbain: You’ve changed again!
Zen Arado: quiet around here tonight
Aphrodite Macbain: yes. People come and go
Aphrodite Macbain: there has been a bit of poofing going on. Must be windy out there in the Internet.
Zen Arado: bought a new jacket

Aphrodite Macbain: very handsome.
Aphrodite Macbain: going to a party?
Zen Arado: no but I'm ready anyway :)
Aphrodite Macbain: Great- then I hope you can come to the Solstice party at pp
Aphrodite Macbain: Dec 21
Zen Arado: could have gone to a masquerade ball at Rosw Theatre
Zen Arado: but not keen on that stuff
Zen Arado: too late for me

Aphrodite Macbain: which stuff? masquerade? or dancing?
Zen Arado: formal stuff

Solstice conversation

Aphrodite Macbain: Solstice will be at 6-8AM and 6-8PM on Dec 21
Aphrodite Macbain: you can come naked and go wild
Zen Arado: oh earlier time is ok
Aphrodite Macbain: trying to accommodate everyone.
Zen Arado: yeh it's difficult
Zen Arado: need a druid costume
Aphrodite Macbain: Great. 6AM would be a reasonable time for you, no?
Zen Arado: yeh
Aphrodite Macbain: I may not appear till 7:30 AM that day
Aphrodite Macbain: I'm not an early riser- especially in the dark
Zen Arado: me neither
Zen Arado: used to get up at 7.30
Zen Arado: but have slipped to 9.30 lately
Zen Arado: staying up too late
Aphrodite Macbain: OK in the summer but awful in the winter. I rather like to get up and go to bed with the birds

Aphrodite Macbain: Any suggestions for what we can do? We will have competitions for fishing and fire jumping
Aphrodite Macbain: and lots of dancing and flying in the volcano
Zen Arado: no
Zen Arado: I came second in a fishing competition
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Zen Arado: dancing is good
Aphrodite Macbain: RL or SL?
Zen Arado: SL
Zen Arado: I used to fly fish in RL too
Aphrodite Macbain: yes- Miralee has great dance balls on her island
Zen Arado: need a music stream tho
Aphrodite Macbain: yes. We can use the stream on her land... Will have to talk to her about that...
Zen Arado: don't think she has one
Aphrodite Macbain: some places there is streaming music
Aphrodite Macbain: in PP
Zen Arado: you have to set one up
Aphrodite Macbain: I'll IM her
Zen Arado: that is radio
Aphrodite Macbain: more technology to work through

Zen Arado: you have to pay for streams
Zen Arado: I had one on and off
Zen Arado: not worth it
Zen Arado: not many come to my place
Aphrodite Macbain: oh. Storm said he could do it...
Zen Arado: it's nice to be able to choose your own music
Zen Arado: Storm has a stream for pab
Aphrodite Macbain: yes. I remember he brought a radio to the anniversary party from which we could choose our type of music

Zen Arado: Hi Druth
Aphrodite Macbain: Hey Druth
Aphrodite Macbain: wow you look stunning
Zen Arado: we are all dresed up tonight
druth Vlodovic: one final touch :)
Aphrodite Macbain: yes. two of us wearing horns or antlers (not sure of the difference)
Aphrodite Macbain: Do you know whether Miralee has streaming music in parts of PP druth?
druth Vlodovic: not sure
Zen Arado: she could set one up
Zen Arado: it would cover the whole island
Aphrodite Macbain: Wonder what it would cost her...
Zen Arado: depends how long for
Zen Arado: and how many listeners
Aphrodite Macbain: 6-8 am and 6-8 PM; 6 hrs
druth Vlodovic: are you bringing music?
Aphrodite Macbain: who me?
druth Vlodovic: somebody has to :)
Aphrodite Macbain: that's my point
Zen Arado: if you rent a stream you can play it anywhere
druth Vlodovic: and you suckered yourself into being the organizer
Aphrodite Macbain: I know...
Zen Arado: you just put the url into Media in the About land tab
Aphrodite Macbain: I keep doing this but I rely on others to help. This is not a one person event
Aphrodite Macbain: can I do that? I thought only Miralee could
Zen Arado: no the owner has to do it
druth Vlodovic: brb
Aphrodite Macbain: wonder if she knows how
Zen Arado: when I had a stream I couldn't use it for pab
Zen Arado: cos I don't have rights
Aphrodite Macbain: how do you get a stream?
Zen Arado: but Storm has
Zen Arado: you go to a rental place
Aphrodite Macbain: right. He gave me sounds of nature for my plot, and on the common land he streamed something that was recorded live in some German countryside
Zen Arado: yes
Zen Arado: or you can play stuff from your computer
Aphrodite Macbain: could I ask Miralee to contact you regarding this?
Zen Arado: I found it tricky to set up first time
Zen Arado: but easy for Storm
Aphrodite Macbain: yes.
Aphrodite Macbain: but this is in PP. Not Storm territory!
Zen Arado: yes
Zen Arado: Kodo was able to stream music some way
Zen Arado: but he doesn't come into SL much now
Zen Arado: him and Sun
Aphrodite Macbain: Maybe I should call Sun - she is a PP member
Aphrodite Macbain: don’t know kodo
Aphrodite Macbain: hey
druth Vlodovic: sun hasn't gone there in an age
Zen Arado: yeh she isn't in SL so much now either
Aphrodite Macbain: I see her name pop up from time to time and assume she is dancing at your place!
druth Vlodovic: grab your instrument and use voice :)
Zen Arado: no..I haven't seen her foe a long time
Aphrodite Macbain smiles at druth
Aphrodite Macbain: so I can count on your being there on Dec 21 at 6 am Zen?
Zen Arado: what day is that?
druth Vlodovic: ???
druth Vlodovic: I swear she keep changing the times
Aphrodite Macbain: I'll contact Miralee and Sun to see if I can figure out the music
Aphrodite Macbain: Wednesday
Zen Arado: should be able to make that
Aphrodite Macbain: druth will be there on the 20th to set things up
druth Vlodovic: I was thinking near the rocks would give us more room than the landing site
Aphrodite Macbain: sure- but we need to be near the volcano as well
Zen Arado: funny we are organizing for PP at pab
Aphrodite Macbain: I know. Perhaps we shouldn't talk about this here.
druth Vlodovic: I was wondering about that
--BELL--
druth Vlodovic: we should head over to PP and talk about the art thingy
Aphrodite Macbain: the art thingy?

druth Vlodovic: domey thing

Aphrodite Macbain: I have to go now anyway. But perhaps we can talk somewhere else
druth Vlodovic: me too, are you going to roadside?
Aphrodite Macbain: roadside philosophers?
Aphrodite Macbain: no
Zen Arado: what's on at Roadside?
Zen Arado: on now?
Aphrodite Macbain: haven't been in ages
druth Vlodovic: just started
druth Vlodovic: I missed my deposit :)
Aphrodite Macbain: ?
druth Vlodovic: catch you later guys
Zen Arado: byee
Aphrodite Macbain: Bye
Aphrodite Macbain: Bye! everyone. I'll join you at the dome if you like druth
