Busy Nights

The title of this post is an understatement. I never dreamed I'd be this busy in Second Life. Last night for example I attended a training session at Ohana Rock Club. They have accepted my application for DJ at their very busy place. I'm hoping the tips will be very good there. But the sets are three hours long so I need to make some adjustments in my 1st life. I sure hope this works out. I was impressed by how professional they are but they would have to be to account for their success. I'm looking forward to my first event there tomorrow during the daytime.

So that went quite well. The senior DJ and I practiced handing the music stream back and forth. They own their own stream so I don't have to worry about mine acting up or anything. Easy. Then it was off to setup a playlist for my event at RoseWould Plantation. That was two very fun hours! There were a decent number of people there. The tips were not bad and the conversations were fun. Once DJ Whiskey took over the music, I had to take off and I was just a bit late for Kenmax and Oui's wedding.

But when I teleported home, Ken was waiting there for me and he was all set to go. I had to put on a tuxedo and boutonniere. Then we headed to the wedding ceremony place. I was the officiant so I went up first. There was a good crowd and it was wonderful to see a bunch of the Dolls of Death crowd, which is where Oui works, including Lydia. The ceremony went pretty well. We only had one issue with the reciting of the wedding ring vows, but that was because the rings came with their own chat. We didn't cover that in the rehearsal the night before. But no biggie. Ken recovered quickly and we made it through the ceremony perfectly after that. It was a very nice looking ceremony too. Lots of pictures were taken. Unfortunately, I was too busy to take any of my own so all I have to post up here is the one that KenMax took of us. I may get some pictures later from the photographer and if I do, I will be sure to post them here. Oui looked lovely. I could tell, she was very very happy. And that's what it's all about!

Then after that, we went to the reception on their parcel. It was very nice and I played some music requests there. That went on for at least an hour or so. It ended up being a very long night, but lots of fun. That was the second time I have married a couple. The first time was Darren and Zuri and I'm pretty sure that's one of my earliest blog entries. I do love going to weddings. Congratulations Ken and Oui!

So needless to say, I have been hanging out at the Ohana Rock Club as much as possible lately. They seem to be some fun people and they really know their stuff. They have a web site at http://www.ohanarockclub.com/ that you can visit and even listen to the music stream there. That is a handy feature of owning one music stream for an entire dance club. The place is able to crash my computer sometimes but other times it seems fine. And even if I do crash, when I return, the system becomes stable. I doubt it has much of anything to do with the location itself. It's something on my end and I continue to work to resolve it. But if my SL viewer crashes, my computer will still continue to stream music. All I really need to do in that case is log back on to my last location.
