Hello band! The rehearsal on Wednesday should not take long. I will arrive at the space at 3pm GMT… it may take me 10 mins to set up internet. We should be finished by 4pm GMT.
Vanessa, will some of you have white t-shirts with ONO OKOY written in black? and Some black t-shirts with ONO OKOY in white? That would be visually interesting.
See you all Wednsesday. I have not met Monerda yet, but i’m looking forward to meeting everyone!
Owen
Quick – but important – question:
For SL, will we be on Voice or streaming? If stream, I’ll need the stream data/URL to enter into the land. Just send along, as needed.
Thank you! 🙂

I bought one of the masks you selected and also set up a microphone. See what you think.

Hey Van, thanks for putting so much work into this. It feels paramount that the avatar beards match the beard I will wear and audience in the venue… also the ONO OKOY t-shirts. is it impossible to create a grass beard? Apologies if i sound completely ignorant of these things… i’m new to all this. 🙂 If it’s not possible, i am going to have to re-think a few aesthetic things. The grass beards are a way of uniting me and the audience with the avatars. Let me know what you think!
I’m not really in a position to build what you want. Maybe you can hunt through SL Marketplace with different search terms and find something that makes you happier?
I think I have an idea about the beard! One of my musician friends wears a beard kind of like that and perhaps we could – if it’s modifiable – create something that is a combination of the mask and beard. I will look into it and see what might be possible. Hope this helps!
Mireille, that would be really really great! Thank you!!!
I’m still browsing SL marketplace but cannot find anything that resembled my grass beard design… i’ll keep searching just in case. 🙂
My friend has not been online, but I looked about and found a couple that might work – with some modification. I modified one and can post a photo in a bit – after I try a couple of other places to look and see if my friend logs in soon. The beard I have now is no-transfer, but is only $L90 and is easy to modify. 🙂
Hi, Owen, Vaneeesa, et al!
We are looking forward to having this event at Ce Soir Arts…and I love the idea of playing in the band – with beard, even!
Let me know if you need anything in between, but I will see you at rehearsal on Wednesday. We wish to advert the event in a way that fits for your work and represents it well. Vaneeesa has been most kind in sharing information, so we feel we have a strong foundation, but anything you would like to add Owen, please post or send along to mireillejenvieve@gmail.com. I will post here or run past Vaneeesa anything we plan to send out for approval.
Thank you!
Mireille
Mireille at the Keyboard…wheee!
Hey Owen, greetings from Mireille & Vanessa @Ce Soir Arts. The band will be:
Keyboard – Mireille
Bass – Monerda
Vocals – Vanessa
Macbook – TBA, maybe Agnes or Trilby
Fleshvatar – YOU!
cool will figure it out, is it possible for the avatars to wear the grass beards?
why don’t you keyword sift through here and see if you see a “Grass Beard” or “Gas Mask” or some other thing you like that we can wear. Don’t worry about any prices you see, everything is cheap and I’m happy to pay for them.
I didn’t find any “grass beards” on SL Marketplace, but they do have 724 “Gas Mask”s see if anything looks promising:

Hi Vanessa
Ok I have made a list of possibilities… links here. The idea is that we all wear the grass beards… because the whole band including me and the audience in my venue will be given grass beards to wear.
If you can’t make a grass beard, maybe something strange or green could cover the mouth?
Here’s some options, although they are not ideal:

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Tintable-Surgical-Mask/2606541
Change colour green?
https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Falln-Rena-Silks-Green/2428532
bit too masky
https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/subVersion-MEDIC-in-WHITE-LATEX/2483508
this is just exciting
https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/sculpted-mask-boxed/1000035
no features, but maybe paint grass beard on it?
https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/LS-Hoof-Pro-series-roof-thachted-7-HQ-textures-full-perm/3230129
change to green?

Owen
This is the song we’re performing on Friday 15 Nov at 7pm GMT / 11am SLT.
Owen – will this video also be the source of the audio? You will be playing the video in the gallery, just with no picture?
And will we, in Second Life, have picture or sound of you in the gallery?
Vanessa, i’m sending you a sound file to your email. I think I will play the song and you guys will follow? We need to do a test with a camera for you to also see me in second life. Excited!
Friday, If we have our band from 6-8p GMT
(10a – Noon SLT)
that should be plenty of time for everything, YES?
Could it be 6.30-8.30 pm GMT? Incase things run a bit slow. There will be other performances by other artists on the night so i will confirm exact time this week, but no later than 8.30 for sure. is that OK for you? if 8pm is the latest you can stay til i will make sure we go first.
6:30 – 8:30pm GMT
(10:30am – 12:30pm SLT)
Check!
Thursday is difficult… but Wednesday is great!
OK I will try to get a space and projector for wednesday. what time?
Same as you said is ok, after 3p GMT?
Ok great. I will try to organise a space and projector to rehearse at 3pm GMT Wednesday 13 November. I have already installed second life on my laptop, will i need anything else apart from a projector and camera?
Hey Owen, Mireille made the changes you asked for. She put up concrete and took out the seating. Thanks Mireille!! xo
Thanks Vanessa and thanks Mireille!! This is perfect! x 🙂
Great Owen, what’s next on our to-do list?
• 4 avatars performing (do you want only 4? Or is more ok? A few people standing and watching? Or dancing? Or Go-Go dancers? In cages?
• Microphone / stand, Keyboard, Guitar, Laptop, Speakers.
• OKO OKOY t-shirts.
Anything else?
Whhhehhhey! Great!
only 4 avatars who are playing in the band is best this time. So, you on microphone (virtual) me on microphone (in my venue), then 1 avatar on keyboards, 1 avatar on guitar/bass, and 1 avatar on laptop. Speakers also.
OKO OKOY t-shirts are great… also do you remember the grass beards to cover mouths? (i don’t know how to attach an image here, so i will put image in next post 🙂
kk, this should work! Mireille Jenvieve-Woodford offered the theater at Ce Soir Arts. So we can shop for a concrete texture you like and then replace the red you see here with it! 😀
ok cool. can we remove the furniture?
Greetings! Yes, we can remove the seating. I have also replaced the textures of the stage and backdrop to a basic concrete – just as a start in exploring options you might like. I will be online again for a short time in a moment and can take the seating down below. I can take a photo and try to post it here. 🙂
We can recolor/remove the curtains as well. I took a photo in-world and have sent it to Lara (Vaneeesa) of the present status. And even if you end up not using our theatre, I am enjoying this! WHEEEEE! Best to you both!
Even with part of my avi looking altogether blank, I think this rocks! We are happy to host at Ce Soir Arts in Second Life. We are very into theatre, poetry and other literature, as well as all range of art and music. This is going to be fun!

This sounds like fun! Thank you for the note, Vanessa. The timing seems good for me, and I look forward to learning more.
Happy SPRING!
