Umm... Hello again!

I know! Went quiet on the blog after the Holiday one (blog that is), but it's been super busy LOL Shows, travel and so on :)

But never fear! Your intrepid blogger (that would be me) is back! Well, I've been around, just not writing the blog!

In Hotel news: Gallery 23 has a new set of artists showing right now. This show opened January 8th and will stay up till the end of February. We had 27 Bohemians attend the opening and ogle the artwork of Sitar Ishelwood, Pepper Chaffe, Araminta Kroitschov, Walt Ireton, Philippeg Galli, Russell Applemoor, and the Chelsea's own enola em Vaher. Artist Sitar Ishelwood provided DJ services for the evening.

There's some fantastic artwork showing so make sure to stop by Gallery 23 and take a look :)

You missed some great end of 2011 shows. On the 28th we had Matthew Perreault and Gavin Zane on stage and a fine show it was.

Matthew Perreault hanging at the bar after his gig. Gavin Zane keeps the festivities going  with his own brand of music.

 The end of 2011 brought some interesting things to the Chelsea sim.


We were visited by Llamas.. Yes... I typed Llamas...

Kit Calico stopped by to visit with the Llamas in question. Apparently, it may be the beginning of a new taxi and service. Some investigation is warranted.

There's been little snowfall on the Chelsea Manhattan sim this year. none that stuck around. Kit's visit put a nice cap of whimsy on the end of 2011. Personally, I want to know more about the bear o.o

Also on New Years Eve, that night, if you missed it, for the first time ever, your intrepid blogger (that would be me again) DJ'd the "Goodbye 2011" party in the Chelsea Venue. 

Perkey Felwitch DJ'd the "Good bye 2011" party and did well, perhaps due to the rum :)

All reports say that it was a good party that lasted well past the time we thought it would :) Good music was played (all of enola's requests, even when they were the wrong ones) and much fun was had. 

We bid 2011 a not so fond farewell and look forward into the new year!

With that said, our first show of 2012 was on January 3rd with Geos Copperfield. Always a good show, our photographer (again, that would be me) was distracted during most of the show and didn't get a picture (shame on me, can't say it won't happen again).

On the 5th, we were entertained by Gavin Zane and Zen Revnik :) enola does a fantastic job of matching performers for the 2 hour sets and this was a fantastic show!

Kaklick Martin

Whirli Placebo

That's right! We had shows on the 7th too! (points up) That's the who it was, but you had to be there to hear how fantastic it was!

*Whew* OK, that's it for now... I think... Maybe... So much going on this month!


If you don't know what tomorrow night is, well, let's just say your intrepid blogger is one happy avatar and may just do a fan girl squeal during the shows tomorrow (Tuesday, January 10th). 


Just maybe ;)


Hugs and be excellent to yourselves,
Perks ;)

Merry... Happy... Umm... Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Solstice, Three Kings Day, Rohatsu, Ramadan and so on :)

Hello Bohemians!

Hopefully I caught which ever holiday it is that you do celebrate :) If not, no lashings with wet noodles >.>

If you missed it, the shows tonight were fantastic! Pre-Christmas shows and NOTHING till the 29th :) Just before the New Year.

Geos Copperfield

Geos was really in the spirit tonight, and dressed the part rather well :)

So did Lazarus Doghouse but *face palm* I missed the opportunity to get a good picture of him.

Tayla Lorakeet

We also had a wonderful bird avatar join us near the end of Geos' set tonight. Tayla Lorakeet is the owner of the Palm Springs Music Venue in SL. I always love the "dress up" aspect of SL and this is a fantastic one :)


We had a fantastic crowd tonight, sad if you missed it. Geos was followed by Zen Revnik (AKA John Roudolph) Both have a sound that compliment one another so it was a wonderful night of music.

That's it for tonight :) If you aren't catching the shows, you're missing a truly good time :)

I like traffic lights.. I like traffic lights...

Frank Zappa, one time resident of the RL Chelsea Hotel may have done that song as a foreshadowing of the Virtual Hotel Chelsea sim... It was asked if the street lights change at all... I can bear witness to the fact that no, no they don't. Out of curiosity, I stood out in the empty street for about half an hour tonight and not a single one of the lights changed. All of them are red as well. So, if you want to drive around, avoid any cops. You'll be running red lights all the time :)

Live shows at Hotel Chelsea .. Yes, they happen!

Every week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, enola does her best to book some of the best Live Performers in SL to grace the Hotel Chelsea stage. This Saturday was no different (and I always wonder why the 300+ Bohemians can never make it over).

Lyndon Heart (and his hat!! <3)

We had Lyndon Heart on our stage for the first time. Lyndon has been performing in Second Life for a while now, and has a pretty good show. Despite some technical issues, the show went on. And his hat rocks LOL

You can find out more about Lyndon on his website.

David Csiszer

David joined us again this week (this is what happens when weeks blend and booking blend every month LOL) but we always enjoy his shows :) I still don't think he can over play any song, and he's one of the masters with the looper when he gets going!

He's also a linguistics teacher! Now we know how to ask where the monkey is :) Always useful! Providing of course, we lose a monkey in Mexico o.0







It was a fairly tame night at the Chelsea :) Only interesting avatar of the night was me o.o LOL

And don't call me CUTE!! >.<

That's all for this edition of your Chelsea blog. Remember, it is for you, Bohemians. The blog, the shows, all of it :)

Oh! If you have any ideas for the blog, please feel free to send me e-mail. Also, I'd like to do a series of interviews with Chelsea artists, so be warned! Questions coming!!!

New music, Old favorites and o.o who knew...

Tonight was quite a night on the Chelsea stage. Well, it always is, actually, and if you miss a performance on the Chelsea stage… Ummm… What is wrong with you!!! /o\

EmJay Fretwerk

EmJay Fretwerk made her first of what we hope will be many appearances on the Chelsea stage. Her voice is real, gritty and pure. Her originals are amazing (she may deny it but she DOES have a Murder Ballad!!!) and full of emotion you will recognize. EmJay’s voice is perfect for the John Prine covers she picks. A great addition to the Chelsea line-up and we look forward to her next performance.

lol Only in SL <3 Monkey w/a bong

And of course, fans are always fantastic too :D For example, we have Spacemonkey420 Northman, who was indulging along with a few others while listening to EmJay LOL Love the monkey avatar, well done, and the Fedora is par excellence. 

Zen Revnik. Find out more about the man and his music at
http://johnrandolph.com/

 It’s a real treat to hear Zen Revnik again. He’s a fantastic performer who doesn’t play often enough in SL. His song “Coffee and Wine” is quite apt for our Bohemians and hearing him live is wonderful..

In other news, enola’s new computer fund is at 41%! When SL phases out the non mesh viewers, enola’s current system will not be able to handle the graphics. Mykal started the fund about 2 months ago, and your support has been fantastic :) Thank you!

Christmas is on track. A few decorations were added recently and more will be up later on. We may even include dirty snow LOL it is New York after all :D

What is your idea of the "perfect Christmas"? Favorite Christmas Movie? Song? Picture? A lot of questions, I know, but I love to hear the answers :)

New writer, great shows and o.o @ The Hotel Chelsea

Hello! First I’m going to introduce myself some little. In Second Life, I’m Perkey Felwitch. You can usually find me at a live music show, or exploring a beautiful sim and taking pictures or building a set for pictures I see in my human head and want to try out in SL. You can also find me at the Hotel Chelsea on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings when I’m helping enola and Donna host the shows there :)

Enola asked for help with the blog and I figured I’d give it a try :) So here goes!

This Tuesday, November 22^nd we hosted Geos Copperfield and Obeloinkment Wrigglesworth on the Chelsea stage.

Geos Copperfield

Now, Geos is a fantastic performer from California. What I didn’t know, is that he has a hidden talent o.o It’s true! He’s skilled Air Guitarist!! o.o Really, he was able to play his  whole set on Air Guitar! It was AMAZING!  

Verion Helix

Also amazing was one of our guests tonight. In SL, we see some fantastic creativity, and this is a brilliant example of such :) With that, I present to you Verion Helix!

When Obe joined us, I was a little confused o.o Well, it’s Obe and he changes avatars more often then socks I think :) Always interesting, and his current look is no exception. Though, it’s a little odd to see Richard Nixon rocking out on the Chelsea stage o.O Or maybe not so much?


What's a bit more on the odd side, is how he "winds down" after a show o.o
 

Obeloinkment Wrigglesworth

Obe after dark o.o

These are the last shows for a full week. We’re taking a break with Gobble day coming up :) Check events or the marquee in the venue for our upcoming shows!

Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for reading! Till next time, be good to you & HUGS!
