I'm at it again...

Yup, I am moving Parkade (again). It seems that since Pontiac left SL back in December 2007, I've had a bit of a rocky ride with the place and it's location. First, it had a home at the Motorability Island complex, but due to me leaving there, I took the club with me. So, I then set up on Kara Zor Isle, but now thats all going tilt, due to the major landowner there not being able to afford the place. Fukmi's already moved her flagship store to the Third Life area and Luscious Latex is also moving all of their stuff out too. So, even though I'm paid up until the end of the month, I've had to sort out a contingency plan. ...and I have ;)

I'm not going to say what I'm doing at the moment, but it is definitely happening and also will provide some much needed security for the club. There will be a few changes to one or two aspects of the Parkade build, however the now trademark club building itself is not being changed one little bit. It's iconic and you don't mess with that sort of stuff.

On the subject of Motorability Island, I also learned that it has been broken up, with 3 sims being bought by one of the old Pontiac Motorati Island tenants and only one United Spinal Association sim remains. Frankly, I'm not surprised as the place has never even broken even since day one. I know it was never designed to make a profit, it was always a charity complex, but the aim was to make money from land rentals, so that the sims could be self sufficient, but sadly it was way off and although it's a shame to see the majority of the sims either close or pass hands, it's nice that one United Spinal sim remains.

Anyway, I'm hoping that I'll be up and running with the latest incarnation of Parkade pretty soon. Theres still a bit of work to be done, like a whole new area to build, oh and other new stuff and some more bits to drop from the inventory, but it won't take too long hopefully, so I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe I can have it open for the second BootieSL of the month. I'm also hoping that I can at least keep the club in it's current location long enough to open the new one, before the sim is pulled out from under me.

Oh and we're having an underground rave on Kara Zor Isle this weekend ;) Starts at 4pm PDT.

Stuff etc.

Woohoo, I'm not dead!!! I haven't heard any rumours to say that I was, but just wanted to say that I'm definitely not dead. I'm dropping crumbs from my lunch all over my desk, but thats nothing compared to how bad things are if I was dead. But I'm not, so it's cool!!!

Okies, if you've not backed away from the monitor muttering that I'm clearly madbonkers, here's whats been going on and what will be happening soon :D

It's been go go go in SL recently, what with sorting bits out for Teller and painting my ever growing fleet of racing cars (pics coming soon), DJing around the place including a kick ass Candy Girls party at Rouge (thanks Codie, mwah!!) and me running around the place buying new hair, new skins and new clothes. Nothing new there then ;) BTW, I will post pice of the 'new' me fairly soon, just need to get around to taking them.

I've got a couple of special DJ gigs and parties coming up soon and whilst they're mentioned on my pure music blog, I thought I'd replicate the aforementioned stuff here too...

So, whats coming up gig wise in the next week or so?

Firstly on Saturday 6th September, I'm spinning at the Global Music Festival, organised by Rezzable and sponsored by Language Lab. It'll be an electro set starting at 2pm until 4pm PDT on the Greenies sim. Promises to be a lot of fun, so if you're kicking your heels and wanting something to do, come along and party... Hard!

As well as the usual Thursday night sessions at Parkade, theres a special Friday night party on Friday 12th September, starting at 2pm PDT. It's an '80s party, so suitable dress attire is mandatory ;) The fun kicks off with Krystal Devonshire spinning a 2 hour MTV Pop style set from the decade, so expect to hear Tiffany, Debbie Gibson etc. in that one and then I'm taking over at 4pm PDT for a 2 hour synthpop set, which will no doubt include New Order, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys etc. It's going to be a really great evening and a lot of fun, so I'd love to see you there!!! I've been listening to a LOT of tunes for this recently, so if you don't want to spoil the surprise, don't check out my LastFM link over there on the right. No, seriously it'll spoil the surprise if you do... Gahhh, do what you want ;)

In other news, we're still putting together a fashion show for Fukmi Clothing and I'm still meaning to pull my finger out and start designing some clothes for the label too... Arrrgh, so much stuff, so little time!!!

Anyway, thats pretty much things in a nutshell (this blog contains no nuts, but is written by one).

See you all again soon!!!

It's been a mad mad mad mad mad mad mad week!

Wow, what a blast! Last weekend saw me DJing a few gigs, although I didn't do the Friday night party at Luscious Latex due to a slight breakdown in musical styles, however it all got sorted and everyone was happy (I think). The event of the weekend has to be Codie's Rouge sim launch, which was just such an amazingly fun time. I will post a little piccy that Marx Dudek took of me when I was relaxing after my 2 hour set there ;)

Yes, that IS me, poledancing topless :D Hell, I DJed in red latex and finished the set topless :D

I also stepped into the role of Owner at the Teller Motorsports Park, alongside my good friend Stacy Spiegel. Teller has more than a checkered history in the SL motorsports scene and now that it has a totally different management team, decent backing and improving staff, we're confident that we can create a truly groundbreaking and stunning motorsports facility in SL. There are a few people out there who would like us to fail totally and are actually going out of their way to try to make that happen. They won't succeed. Personal vendettas against us are pointless and to be honest, unfounded. I doubt that the person I'm referring to is reading this, but on the off chance that you're out there J, I'd back off now if I were you... Seriously.

So, onto music stuff!!!

Parkade has reopened it's doors on Kara Zor Isle and the slight redesign is still ongoing. Not much has happened image wise yet, but it will continue, so keep coming back to check. It's BootieSL tonight, so the gorgeous Diva will be taking to the decks beforehand to spin 2 hours worth of mashups before we switch over to Bootie in San Francisco for the musical mayhem :)

I'm also going to be doing the first of 2 sets this week at SecondPride, at 1-3am PDT on Sunday 13th. It's an early morning slot, so going to blow out the cobwebs with some monumentally gorgeous trance. Later on Sunday, I've also been asked to do a fashion show afterparty, from 11am-1pm PDT, but I've not had any more info on where it is etc. yet, so can't let you all know. Group notices will have to suffice ;)

Well, thats about it for the moment... Me n' Fukmi are blissfully happy, I love her to bits and am going to miss her terribly when she moves in RL, so will be probably without a connection for a bit. I'll just pounce on her when she comes back and we'll probably not be seen for a day ;)

I assure you, we're open...

Parkade might have closed temporarily, but BootieSL is going ahead tonight regardless. We’re shifting the party over to the beach at Club Republik, so grab your swimsuit, bikini or trunks and join us at 7pm PDT for me (Miss Cyberpink) DJing the Mash n’ Grab set prior to switching over to A&D, PartyBen, Dada and the rest of the Bootie crew at the DNA Lounge, San Francisco.

Normal service WILL be resumed at Parkade soon!!!

We'll be reopening the club on the Kara Zor Isle sim, which coincedentally is where Fukmi's flagship 'Fukmi Clothing' store is. It's also the home to Linda Brown's gorgeous shop 'Luscious Latex'. I know the girls well there and am so grateful for the offer of a home for Parkade. As the sim is losely based on an old airport, there will be a few cosmetic changes to Parkade, but nothing major, although I am building a new dancefloor :D

I'll be liasing with the builder at Kara Zor this week and planning things out, so Parkade will be rebuilt next Sunday/Monday. We've got quite a busy schedule lined up on Kara Zor this week though, with the Parkade crew playing 'cuckoo' and taking over the larger existing club there until that goes and Parkade moves in. So, the lineup?

Sunday Midday-2pm PDT - Traffic Jambient with Miss Cyberpink
Tuesday 2-4pm PDT - Terminal Velocity with DJ Foximus
Wednesday 2-4pm PDT - Cruise Control with DJNoNo Ulysses
Thursday 4-6pm PDT - Overdrive with Miss Cyberpink
Friday TBA - Independence Day Party with special 4 hour set by Miss Cyberpink
Saturday 5th July 2-6pm PDT - Candy Girls with Miss Cyberpink & possible guest DJ
