Eliza Madrigal: seeing Eden and Rrose together, and listening to Adams, is what prompted me to call you :)
Rrose Millar: I see we are friends Lila, so I guess we have met before :)
Lila Darkmatter: Yes Eden, I could never forget you
Eden Haiku: Euh... this was Rrose speaking dear Lila :0
Lila Darkmatter: huh... sorry abut that

Eden Haiku: hehe

Eliza Madrigal: Hi Tura :))
Tura Brezoianu: hi again
Eden Haiku: Twins dressing as twins :) But I'm the one with the nose ring :)
Eden Haiku: Hi Tura
Eden Haiku: Is that the formal report session Eliza?

--BELL--

Lila Darkmatter: I see, you are the flashy one
Eden Haiku: I am!
Eliza Madrigal: Eden, this isn't a reports session, nor even an official WoLE session... but a casual sort of blended session...
Eden Haiku: She's kind of modest
Tura Brezoianu: Is this one of those spot the difference puzzles? :)
Eliza Madrigal: meant to leave room for anything that comes to mind

Pinky Kira: hi everyone :)
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Pinky!
Eden Haiku: Ah good, then I will blend more easily...
Lila Darkmatter: Hi Pinky, Raffila
Catrinamonblue Resident: Hi Pinky :)
Raffila Millgrove: Hi Everyone.
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Raffi
Catrinamonblue Resident: Hi Raffi :)
Eden Haiku: Hello Pinky
Eliza Madrigal hopes we didn't wander away from the exhibit too early.... I took a few minutes to re-read the notecard after arriving here
Eden Haiku: Pinky remninds me of Bleu, isn't that strange
ContreCourant Resident: The gathering of alts
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Contre!
Pinky Kira: yep
Lila Darkmatter: hello Contre
ContreCourant Resident: Hello :-)
Pinky Kira: hi Contre
Catrinamonblue Resident: Hi Contre, it's been a long time :)
Eden Haiku: hello Contre and Raffi!
ContreCourant Resident: Hi Pinky
Rrose Millar: Greetoi

Eliza Madrigal adds more complexity to view
Rrose Millar: Greetings to Pinky, Raff and Contreà
Catrinamonblue Resident: :) I had to up it too
Pinky Kira: fun having the alts here :)
Eliza Madrigal: Pinky, I love your stockings
ContreCourant Resident: complexity is us
Pinky Kira: ty!
Lila Darkmatter: seems so
Raffila Millgrove: eh? who is who then?
ContreCourant Resident: Pinky looks green to me
Eden Haiku: Who's who now?
Catrinamonblue Resident: I wish now I had an alt to add to the mix :(
Eliza Madrigal: Contre, that's why upping complexity is important...
Eliza Madrigal: it is in the preferences at bottom right
Eden Haiku: Is Contre Courant Cat's alt?
Catrinamonblue Resident: nope
Pinky Kira: ah yes that complexity thing
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: Cat is a one and only :)

Raffila Millgrove: I've never had my alts on together. they are seperate entities. they don't go.. same places etc. they live different lives.
ContreCourant Resident: Under advanced Eliza?
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Eden Haiku: Not sure about that :)
Eliza Madrigal: under avatar at the top, I think.... or at the bottom button where you change light settings
Eliza Madrigal: depending on viewer
Eden Haiku: Your slip is showing at the French name Cat :)
ContreCourant Resident: Better now it's under graphics in SL viewer
Eliza Madrigal: So your alts don't interact at all Raffi?
Raffila Millgrove: absolutely not. gosh. never.
Raffila Millgrove: they are seperate characters like in a book. in fact some sim si am on.. you will be banned if you show up two alts in same time. or even have alts

Catrinamonblue Resident: Cat's typist hasn't felt the need for other alts up to this point
Lila Darkmatter: I need something to do at PaB or else I have to hibernate for long periods of time
Raffila Millgrove: you can't come in an alt .. or you will be banned
Rrose Millar: OUR triplet Wilfred says he's sorry, he can't make it today.
Raffila Millgrove: it's pick a person and be that person to the others here.
Eliza Madrigal: Oh, sorry not to see Wilfred again, please say hello
ContreCourant Resident: I feel reborn. I haven't been here for at least 2 years.

Eliza Madrigal: look what Adams has unleashed! :D
Pinky Kira: lol
Rrose Millar: Sure Eliza:)
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Eden Haiku: True, it,s all her fault!
Bleu Oleander: hey Adams!

Eliza Madrigal: you sure don't... must be the magic mist
Pinky Kira: much wiser tho!
Eden Haiku: Forever young Adams Rubble!
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)

Eliza Madrigal reading Lila's profile:

Eliza Madrigal: 
...Greet Yourself In your thousand other forms
As you mount the hidden tide and travel
Back home. ...
All the hemispheres in heaven
Are sitting around a fire Chatting...
While stitching themselves
together Into the
Great Circle inside of You (Hafiz)

 

Pinky Kira: nice!
ContreCourant Resident: beautiful Eliza
Catrinamonblue Resident: oh I like that :) lovely Lila

Adams Rubble: I don;t know Pinky
ContreCourant Resident: There was an alt called Pinzy I remember.
Eliza Madrigal: hmm, or mimzy?
Eliza Madrigal searches recesses of mind
ContreCourant Resident: no, Pinzy
ContreCourant Resident: about 3 years ago when we all created new alts
ContreCourant Resident: it was an experiment
Aphrodite Macbain: I remember
Aphrodite Macbain: It was easy to guess who some were by the way they spoke
Tura Brezoianu: before my time
Eliza Madrigal nods
Catrinamonblue Resident: before my time as well :)
Aphrodite Macbain: I think Eliza came up with the idea. It was fun.
Raffila Millgrove: i was in Pab but i don't remember this happening.

Eliza Madrigal: hm, not sure... often something comes up in a discussion and then takes on its own life
ContreCourant Resident: It was odd sitting around the fountain with a bunch of strangers
Eliza Madrigal: especially if Bleu is inspired and gives us a project :)
ContreCourant Resident: and realizing they were friends with masks on
Eliza Madrigal: :) in some cases
Eliza Madrigal: in other cases they were just invited to PaB for the first time
Adams Rubble got very confused. did not who was who
 

Aphrodite Macbain: This was a deliberate experiment
Eliza Madrigal: let me see when this was....
Eliza Madrigal: browser a little slow...
ContreCourant Resident: I think it was before our big move
Eliza Madrigal: definitely
Catrinamonblue Resident: Cat is a bit over 4 years old, and feels fairly sure it was before she joined Sl
ContreCourant Resident: Iambeing was another alt
Eliza Madrigal: 2010 March
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Eliza Madrigal: https://wiki.playasbeing.org/Chat_Logs/2010/03/2010.03.29_13%3a00_-_Alts_of_Being?highlight=alts+of+being
ContreCourant Resident: 2.5 years ago
Eliza Madrigal: ooh, Being an Alt...
ContreCourant Resident: yes

ContreCourant Resident: YES!
Eliza Madrigal: we've played a lot! :D
Aphrodite Macbain: I had forgotten that till now. I should add it to the Chronicles Adams
Adams Rubble: thanks Aph
Aphrodite Macbain: will search for pix

Eliza Madrigal: linking the two types of session.... wonder what it does for us, to be identity-flexible, to play in these kinds of ways
Eliza Madrigal: Adams I thought your presentation was so empathetic
Adams Rubble: can give your RL avatar weird dreams
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Adams Rubble: :)

--BELL--

Aphrodite Macbain: I hope you can add your memories to the chronicles as well Adams. Maybe in the form of your presentation text.
Raffila Millgrove: ah. I was in Japan. that's why I don't remember it.
Raffila Millgrove: just checked the date on the link to the Wiki
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Adams Rubble: I am working on my questions Aph
Aphrodite Macbain: Great!
Adams Rubble: was busy rewriting my show :)
Eliza Madrigal: how do you feel now, relieved?
Aphrodite Macbain: what needs to be re-written?
Adams Rubble is hoping not to do any more rewriting now that the presentation has been given
Eden Haiku: Hopefully not :)
Adams Rubble: but as I said my RL avatar is a maniac
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Adams Rubble: oh, I said that at a different session
ContreCourant Resident: A maniac for accuracy?
Lila Darkmatter: you seem so composed

Adams Rubble: did you see the poster?
ContreCourant Resident: where?
Eden Haiku: The Break a leg poster?
Adams Rubble: yes
Adams Rubble: broken
Eden Haiku: And Break an arm poster:)
Lila Darkmatter must take a gander
Eliza Madrigal: excuse me just one moment pls
ContreCourant Resident: no
ContreCourant Resident: where is the poster?
Rrose Millar: no
Rrose Millar: REBELLION OF THE ALTS
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
ContreCourant Resident: ??
Adams Rubble: Poster is at the bottom of the stairs in the Bleu's gallery
Eden Haiku: Poster was at the entrance of the show, at the bottom of the stairs I think
ContreCourant Resident: Oh-- darn I must have missed it
ContreCourant Resident: Ah that one! Love it.
Eliza Madrigal: back :) And now realizing I have to go back to the entrance of exhibit!
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)

Eden Haiku: Just a play of words Adams?
Eden Haiku: Or did you have a broken leg when you 1st came to Pab?
ContreCourant Resident: Are you in crutches?? lol
Adams Rubble: I am giving out the poster to anyone who did not see it
Eliza Madrigal: ah, thank you
Catrinamonblue Resident: raises hand
ContreCourant Resident: Must have been football
Eliza Madrigal: oh! ha, this is great
Lila Darkmatter: :)
Eden Haiku: I want one too, please!
Eliza Madrigal: "intense exploration"
ContreCourant Resident: somewhat violent...
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Eden Haiku: Thanks!
Eliza Madrigal understands wrestling with one's self ves
Eden Haiku: A risky business yes!
Adams Rubble: yes
Eliza Madrigal: "controlled" experiment not always so controlled
ContreCourant Resident: that's when things can get interesting

--BELL--

Catrinamonblue Resident: slips away... it's been a long daay and I still have some work to finish with... night all..........
Eden Haiku: But the general impression of your Playing as Rubble 2008 is that you were coming from a unified field, some core, some underlying level, the heart maybe? Many of us felt deeply moved by your presentation Adams,
Catrinamonblue Resident: agree with Eden :)
Eden Haiku: Bye Cat :)

Adams Rubble: I fell into PaB thinking I was at a Buddhist group :)
Adams Rubble: It was at the Zen retreat
Adams Rubble: Little did I know
Eden Haiku: :)
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Adams Rubble: was nervous about it
Eliza Madrigal: more curious than nervous?
Adams Rubble: then things started off and the next thing I knew I was knee deep
Adams Rubble: then submerged
ContreCourant Resident: A good place to land
Adams Rubble: jumped into the deep end
Rrose Millar: mmm
Eliza Madrigal: then became the deep end? :)
Adams Rubble: looked shallow from above :)
ContreCourant Resident: :-)
Adams Rubble: but surprised that I found a way to get afloat
Eden Haiku: :)
Eliza Madrigal: quite inspiring
Eliza Madrigal: makes me feel I've slacked off a lot
Eliza Madrigal: ;-)
Adams Rubble: nah Eliza
Eden Haiku: same here
ContreCourant Resident: hardly Eliza!
Eliza Madrigal: well, just unearths all the directions and possibilities
Adams Rubble: we all had our different approaches
Eliza Madrigal nods
Eden Haiku: remembers a time when she was actually doing the 9 seconds...
Adams Rubble: I was fortunate to have lots of free time that first summer
Adams Rubble: it changed that fall

ContreCourant Resident: I think I was a real nuisance during the first year
Eden Haiku: and then life happens!
ContreCourant Resident: dropping in on people unannounced
ContreCourant Resident: asking too many questions
Eliza Madrigal: asking questions is important
Eliza Madrigal doesn't remember your being a nuisance
Adams Rubble: I was always asking questions that first summer
ContreCourant Resident: yes- but I was unmerciful and a bit rude
ContreCourant Resident: why why why
Eliza Madrigal: :)))

Adams Rubble: none of you remember me that first summer so i don't have to worry. hehe
Eliza Madrigal laughs
ContreCourant Resident: :-)
ContreCourant Resident: I wasnt there yet.
Eliza Madrigal: yeah, not like there are logs or anything
Adams Rubble: there are logs?
Aphrodite Macbain: nor was I
Eliza Madrigal guffaws

Eliza Madrigal arrived in 2009 when so many things were in full swing
ContreCourant Resident: what year was that Adams?
Adams Rubble: 2008
ContreCourant Resident: ah yes
Eden Haiku: Loved the quotation from the Corinthians in the notes: "Love--- it is not easily angered/it keeps no records of wrongs "
Adams Rubble sings "A long long time ago, I can still remember..."
Adams Rubble: I must go. Sorry if I messed up your book discussion
Eliza Madrigal: that was a nice inclusion, those lines ... could have read "greets one another anew"
Aphrodite Macbain: It was fun
Adams Rubble: take good care evryone :)
Eliza Madrigal: hah, not at all Adams, good to take a breath
ContreCourant Resident: I should come back more often
Eliza Madrigal: thanks again and happy birthday
Adams Rubble: thanks
Eden Haiku: There was no book discussion scheduled it seems Adams, don't worry :)
Eliza Madrigal: please do Contre

Eliza Madrigal: kept today as a casual session, wanting to just see what the general vibe was after presentation
ContreCourant Resident: One of me is quite enough I think :-)
Eliza Madrigal: and in case some could only stay one hour
Lila Darkmatter is enjoying just soaking up the atmosphere
ContreCourant Resident: we needed a casual session I think
Lila Darkmatter: not sure I'd be up to a book conversation
ContreCourant Resident: I could catch up as could all the other alts
Eliza Madrigal: :) which doesn't mean, if there is something anyone wants to contribute about that, they shouldn't :) I still have to plan out reading, and will not be here this coming Thursday
ContreCourant Resident: k
Aphrodite Macbain: k
Eden Haiku: I'M slagging with the book all hope of catching up seems vain
Aphrodite Macbain: just start where we start
Eliza Madrigal: could just jump around and see one line that sparks interest Eden ^.^

--BELL--
