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 22nd 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!
