No Second Life party.  I don’t think the turnout much, but if you get the chance, do your free login and look around.  I don’t have the time to invest in it as I want to, but that is probably a good thing.  Big Ups and much apprec to Mr. Mariner of the Clocktower on Edloe Island for being willing to host the occasion.

I am preparing for show 100. There will be a 100th show celebration in Second Life at the Edloe Island Clock Tower, a surreal steampunkish location (shout out to Crap Mariner for the location). If you would like to send a bumper or shout out for the 100th show please do. Skype me at spartacusroosevelt. If you aren’t in SL, you can open a free account and show up. I will be putting up a link that will take you directly there soon. Go ahead and get SL downloaded and get your avatar customized so you will be ready to go.

Don’t forget the forum post for this show and thanks to Guy David for recommending the clock tower.

This episode started very heavy in the electronic acts and as clearances did or did not come in it evolved, with more freak rock and folk acts clearing their tracks and it took on a very different sound, like a hippie AM station and video games playing in the next room.
