A Christmas Carol - the rest of the cast and other credits

We did it - it's done (but maybe not - watch this space) ... in the meantime - kudos go out to everyone involved, among others, Montian Gilruth who was the official "listener" to all the voices and turned the chaos into a stream so that the audience would have a seamless time of it.


Gotta love those listening antennae ;-).



The multi-talented Santa Kwassman was an amazing Scrooge - and on top of it made his own costume to wear for the role.
The set created by Paddy Wright - I've mentioned that before but I simply cannot get enough in one eyeful of this - perfect for the reading, and the ghostlike procession of images evocative of the scenes that are so familiar to us from this classic tale.  Couldn't make up my mind which shot of this to choose so here are a bunch.

The people who came to listen - thank-you!  If you enjoyed this a tenth as much as we did, I'm happy :-)


Two cast members not mentioned earlier - Jane and Sidhe - who joined us for the performance and sounded great!


Finally, without our "guardian angel" Aaack we would have surely experienced some interruptions and questions from arriving audience members - he kept everything flowing smoothly.

Santa Claus is coming to town ... er, Teal


Santa Kwassman, captured during rehearsal - looks for all the world like Crap Mariner had better not pout ;-)

A Christmas Carol

I'm echoing Crap here 'cause he beat me to it - look for a reading of "A Christmas Carol" Saturday the 13th 10 am at Cinnamon Court on Teal Island.

Kae Sura adapted the piece for our reading and Paddy Wright built a wonderful set - both perfectly suited to the purpose.




Montian Gilruth is adding his technical expertise to gather the voice contributions and redirect them via a stream to be heard in sl.  Some of the other (unusual) suspects ... er, cast members ... include Gillian Carthage and Carter Liveoak who own the venue, Crap Mariner, Oshkosh, Morton DaCosta, Katy Ballyhoo, and myself:

  

Here's the slurl: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Teal%20Island/43/94/25  Come at 10am slt on Saturday the 13th and hear this rogue's gallery in action!

I just realized that I love that I can say "I'm echoing Crap" without even giving it a second thought - well, without a third thought anway - I guess that was the second thought.

A little silliness

Playing around with bits and pieces found in the Library is fun.



Okay, it's silly but work has kept me too busy to want to do anything much here in a while - better silly than nothing ;-)

Exploring the Mainland

Something I don't do often enough - RL work has been extremely intense lately so on a break I'm finding this pleasant - grab a horse, and ride a Linden Road. I've chosen the outermost road that circles the Atoll continent, which is the continent where my own Nitida Ridge is found.



I have to curb the shopping monster in me though - I've found some pretty nice shops along the way!

Heating/haunting up on the Ridge

Hallowe'en is starting to make itself seen on the Ridge, and that can be so much fun! Shamanes' Horacios & Lucio playing; Horacios really getting into the spirit (or is the spirit getting into him ?



Think Monti should add "Stir It Up" to his set list? Oh, yeah, what set list? Anyway, things were heating up and Horacios (Shamanes) stayed to help stir the stew!


Something Christmassy about this Hallowe'en ;-)
