Finally, after a month or more of planning, my nephew Broxton has opened his nightclub, Krimson Moon. There were several reasons for it taking so long to open. Mostly due to personnel changes with the staff, but it's finally in operation. So he held a Ears & Tails event last night. I was the DJ, Brox hosted and we had three pole dancers, at least one of whom was an escort. Even though escort services were not in demand that night, the ladies did a great job on the dance polls.

I had a terrible time with lag which kept cutting off my music stream. I had restarted the sim just an hour before the event, so that all scripts were cleared out but once people started showing up, the lag surfaced with a vengeance and I was tasked with cutting down the throughput of my stream. The music would cut out and I would drop the stream's speed every time. Finally, it became stable enough to play without interruption. The only problem was that the quality of the music was horrible. Emi showed up just after the event ended and complained that the music sounded almost like pure static, it was that bad. I've played countless events on that sim without that much trouble in the past so I can only assume something has recently changed. The OS upgrade performed by Linden Labs might have something to do with that. We have been having trouble with the sim ever since that upgrade. Another factor could have been the avatars. I checked my avatar lag monitor just before the event and saw that Broxton was running over 300 scripts alone. In comparison, I'm usually running 190 scripts and I get warnings about that being too high quite often. Or it could have been a combination of the two. Whatever the case, something will need to change before I DJ there again.

Ken showed up with his new GF and they had a great time dancing. Not all of the dances in the couple's controller are straight dances though. I've put in some sex animations so that sex can be had anywhere on the sim for convenience. I was pleasantly surprised when cat showed up. I didn't really expect her but it was so nice having her there. I played with her naughty tail and she played with mine. We danced together the rest of the night until she had to leave at the end of the event. At one point, there were eleven people in attendance, which is pretty good for a grand opening. Hopefully Brox can get his group member base built up and he can have many more busy events.
