Sax with Trow

Winding down from a busy couple of days, is it time for YOU… Time for you to put your feet up and listen to some of the best music in SL. Then tonight is the time for you to dust off that special outfit that will show off your “shine”. Come and dine, dance and just RELAX. Trow’s show begins at 5 PM Slt. Taxi is under the Nat’s weclome sign.

Nat’s Jazz Club is home to so many wonderful entertainers and long standing residents of SL that it is fitting that Trow get us off to another wonderful week of celebrations in our own “hmoe town” favourite club Nat’s Jazz club.. Find your taxi under the club Join group sign you see above.

We had a lot of fun leading up to the holidays, while our favourite shops/designers were busy working their fingers to the bone making sure we had a lot of holiday cheer to hunt out and enjoy. No one was left with nothing to do, find or explore. The malls were beautifully decked out, advent trees were in most establishments and there were plenty of novel and new outfits for the fashionistas and “beautiful” people to find and be seen in.

It was too early for me to interview the owner, Sassy Gassner Composer, but I’m passing along her mission statement. ( her Christmas gift is still out in the shop!)

I Take pride in my designs. I sell most all of my Designs as Complete Outfits(All Accessories). If I won’t wear it I dont sell it. Mostly Mesh for the mesh body’s. I do some appliers. I am Very Much Customer Oriented. I have worked very hard to get my store where it is today.
I am blessed with a Great! following. Join !CGF/Composer Girls Fashion Group and recieve FREE NEW RELEASES!

Ladies, she has ladies and men’s outfits.. so many of you like to shop with or for your beaux’s

I wish I had room to give you all the wonderful shops that were visited over the last few weeks, check back issues for more locations.. The merchants of SL worked long hours to ensure we had a lot of fun shopping. New Year Galas and parties are already happening.. come on everyone, let’s shop!

That’s right after an hour of Sax, if you are Nat’s tonight you will get to hear the off the wall DJ Speelo take to the stage with his inventory of music – open to your requests you may want to ensure you have your dancing shoes on and ready to dance into the night.

This is a small club for patrons and friends of SugareeRose… this gal has been around since my early days, and believe me she can dish out the best of the best when it comes to listening pleasure. You looking for something different, a place to unwind and simply enjoy, check out her new club. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife//68/174/22

Xander

Yesterday was a lucky day, we were introduced to the talented Xander Nichting, Electric Violinist. He was at the Xmas Market @ Angel Manor Estates. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife//8/217/22

Our own Steve Who, caught me on, and invited me to join him.. What a bonus event to an already busy day. It is always good to listen to one’s intuition, I had not intended on logging on, but I did, and voila, thanks to Steve, we now all know about another fantastic artist.

I met up with Xander’s manager Lilia Clarity who sent me some background info on Xander. Here is a link to a website MySpace: http://www.MySpace.com/XanderNichting. Xander is violinist, solo-artist, musical director, composer and arranger, whose music covers all styles and influences from Classical, Swing, Jazz, New Age, R&B, Celtic, Bluegrass, and World Folk.

For bookings and to find out his schedule .. contact Lilia Docherty

Thanks Steve!

Q & China

From all of us at Virtual News 8 we wish you & yours the very best over the holidays, Peace to one and all.

Trow Boa at Nat’s

Start the holiday week off with your favourite performer, Trow Boa, (saxophonist) what better way to kick off a busy week .. Trow has a set to have you “rocking” around the Xmas tree, he’ll put you in the mood for all that’s good and merry. All you need to do is get to the club on time, his set starts at 5 slt (Second Life) Monday Dec. 20th.

He’ll be at Nat’s Jazz Club of course, taxi supplied.. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Detroit%20City/68/191/22

OK now we know we are going to Nat’s tomorrow, what to wear. We’ve found this delightful designer who has a style all her own.

She does have a retail show however .. I had more fun looking through all her inventory on Marketplace. I’ll be wearing one of her outfits at Nat’s Jazz club tomorrow, you’ll have to drop over to see which one finally won me over.

Taxi to Raggs http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Valhalla%20Estates%20Management/66/188/22 here is the trick to finding the shop, when you get there, go to the furthest set of stairs, turn left when you reach the club dance floor. The Raggs boutique is off the public area. or go to Marketplace and type in Raggs… =^_^=

Linda the owner of Nat’s Jazz Club is always a picture of elegance, Lylah, Trow’s lovely assistant, is another head turner, come on ladies, show up and shine! btw. if you are new to Nat’s, or just want to stay up to date with where Trow is playing, ask Lylah for a group invite… Although she is usually very good at getting to you first.

Support the club, Linda is a strong supporter of Live entertainment in SL. You’ll see the big shoe to the left of where she stands, her left, your right !!

Nat’s Jazz Club

An evening out at Nat’s Jazz Club means, refined dining, dancing, friends catching up, great entertainment, all in an atmosphere that invites you to relax and simply enjoy. This venue is well established and has been around long enough to have its “regular” patrons. You’ll find an international crowd, everyone is there to enjoy … to kick back and relax either on their own or with friends

How do we support and ensure that the clubs we enjoy not only survive, but thrive. We all know the performers have tip boards, most venues also have a tip jar out. At Nat’s its the big shoe that is usually off to Linda’s left. In Trow’s set up, he has a big board off in the background with his Robot band. (Trowzer Boa -performer – Sax)

Last night was another successful evening of great music. Were you part of the experience.. psst Nat’s is a great place to meet up with other musicians and performers its one of “the” places to hang out =^_^= you didn’t hear it here — (is that JC Farstrider and his gorgeous wife .. oohhh and is that Speelo “cutting the rug”) (the tall blonde is an artist from Arizona, the mystery man is visiting from Scotland and… lol ) Telling you.. check this place out!

Isle du Noir Where Decopunk and old Hollywood come together to create an enchanting role play sim. Everyone is welcome. It has an allure that in unique and very much a fun place to visit and explore.

Also on the Isle Du Noir is a venue called the Voodoo Lounge. ”

Imagine if you will an old voodoo shop in the French Quarter of a tropical island in the 1940s called Le Isle du Noir. This is The Voodoo Lounge. Every party is a street party like Mardi Gras. Guests dance in front of the venue and the artists spin or play on the balcony.

We specialize in jazz and blues. Currently we have two events a week, Mondays at 7pm SLT we have Speelo Snook DJing his special blend of music along with his commentary from decades of experience playing live music. Speaking of live music, We have saxman66, who plays live saxophone on Thursdays at 7PM.

Even though it’s an RP sim the dress code is relaxed. We attract the residents of the Isle, fans of the artists, and anyone else who enjoys great music! 􀀀 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Isle%20Du%20Noir/139/2/1985

You’ll find DJ Speelo at the Voodoo Lounge

If you want more information on the Voodoo Lounge, contact David Littman, or if you like what you see when you visit Isle Du Noir, join the group, it is a friendly and fun place to hang out. Always something fun going on.
