SCHEDULE

THURSDAY  JUNE 26th
* 4 – 5pm SLT – Live Performance: nuvolino Roffo
nuvolino (Davide Ferri)  is an musician living in Australia, he has been composing and creating all styles of electronic music from ambient to hard trance and club tracks.
His sound has been often described as “pure” and “uplifting” and “fresh” just about everyone that has heard his tracks has found something in them that keeps them coming back for more!
Davide is self taught and has been creating his mastery since the age of 13 and is looking to get himself onto a label, although unsigned as yet he has produced and distributed quite a few Albums with the first one titled “Fruitastic” which was released in 1999 initially in Tasmania  and his current Album titled “Cloud Chamber” which can be found circulating in Tasmania, Melbourne and Queensland.
Majority of his sound is done real time without much use of loops but more the use of Midi sequencing and playing and layering from a musical keyboard using cubase as his studios core originally using an Atari STe now using an Apple mac (which is now his favourite computer)
5-6 PM SLT: Sharie Atlass
“Music is the only language that all the world can understand.”  Sharie, or “Shar” has been singing for many years, beginning at an early age.  She had the privilege to start singing online in 1999 and shares a wide variety of music, including rock, country, pop and show tunes.  She looks forward to singing in SL, sincerely hopes you enjoy what you hear, and believes that everyone who sings from the heart is a “star”.

6-7 PM SLT: Jewels Weksler

7-8 PM SLT: Angeljade Writer
Bio:  Can a fantasy become real?  Could a dream become reality.  That is what I strive for.
My name is Angeljade Writer and I hail from a twin island paradise in the Caribbean.
In my past, I was told that I could not sing that special way they wanted me to sing.  So I stayed silent, hidden behind the four walls of my heart, singing only to me.
But God had other plans.  He knew I had a voice in side me. So I am here to let that voice be heard.
I sing with the soul of de islands.  A FLAVA they say.
From Bob Marley to Sade.  A mixture of back in times to modern times.  IF my heart loves it, I sing it.

So stick around and listen to the pepper pot flava that is Angeljade.

I am here in SL to develope my RL artist side. I was born in the Basque Country, quite closed society, and never had a chance to learn about art, never until I was 18. It was not what I wanted because of my economic situation, but I learnt graphic design. Four years of learning helped me to learn about colour theory and different tools, from Real ones to digital ones, basing my work in two different branches: Watercolours and Adobe Photoshop software. Watercolours, because they give me that movement illusion in RL, Photoshop, because it gives me the chance to dig further into my art. Those artists steps were stopped at the age of 23, I found a job far from art for more than 8 years, but it was killing me, I needed to create, and I found SL, to keep on learning and developing my artistic side. Now I am recovering all those past years, learning each and everyday, and trying to make people enjoy my art, art is the magical expression of each one of us after all. Being able to show my work all around this world… that will be great…
All my work is basically based on three basic points: light, colour and rythm, and almost all the ideas come from own feelings and experiences, most of them, not all: I just create some music without sound, some alive watercolour, watercolours that never dry, and light, many light, giving those 3d pieces more depth and movement, it’s the main idea, movement, cinetic works, creating in a fourth dimension, a new dimension to play with and express myself, so maybe there’s some kind of futurism there too… With each work I try to create what I have envision after thinking about a concept, then I develope it, until I discover what I wanted to build, that’s a nice moment really…
I have been for one year and five months in SL, and I have never stoped learning about building, scriptting, textures… I feel like a child, playing with everything I find, and expressing myself freely, that’s the best sensation I have ever had, beeing able to create, at least, I have been able to recover my artist side, and now I feel alive, now I can take a look at my mind and understand Gaudi, those organic forms make me crazy, or Picasso’s use of basic forms, dividing reality in basic forms to work with, and pop use of colour, and music mainly, that’s my real inspiration…. sounds…

Flowers series by Willum Tosung

Come join us for sushi, bach, and Tosung, this Friday evening.

Attire: Semi-formal, have fun tonight, wear something eclectic, or you’ve been dying to wear!

Pink Gala AdThe Cafe Society is comprised of various members of Fashion Emergency, and Fashion Consolidated Cafe. We are all dressed up looking to enjoy la dolce secundo vita! As we all know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and with such a good cause at hand The Cafe Society on a whim decided to launch a Pink Gala the first official group event.

We have chosen the SS Galaxy as the perfect place to party the night away. The SS Galaxy is a full size, full scaled, and full featured cruise ship in SL. The SS Galaxy is anchored in the Sagittaria Estate, and spans 3 sims with more than 8 decks of fun and entertainment.

We have partnered with real life artist and Second Life resident Ahz Senior, currently featured on SLNN, and working with the Ewing Fashion Agency to create a magical and rewarding evening for the public and to help raise funds for Pink Ribbon.

The festivities kick off Friday, October 19th, 2007 at 7 pm SLT on the ship’s Nova Straaf Gallery with an art show featuring the work of Ahz Senior. The artist has created a special piece just for the occasion to be auctioned during the Pink Gala’s charity auction which immediately follows the art show in the Zodiac Ballroom.

Designers, Animators, and Builders from across the grid, like Adam N Eve, Animazoo Animations, Essensual Designs, Gurl 6, Ingenue, Maitreya, Designing Nicky Ree, Treasured Visions, and many more have quite generously donated items to be auctioned off. The public is invited to attend. The Cafe Society would like to remind guests to come dance the night away in Pink Gowns, and Black Tie (pink ties are encouraged gents!) formal wear.

The Cafe Society would like to thank everyone at the SS. Galaxy-Nova Straaf, Mercedes Lassard, and a big thanks to the SS Galaxy Crew for without them this event would not have been possible. We thank the magnificent Ahz Senior for his time, and talent. Glorious thanks to the Ewing Fashion Agency and Second Style for bringing us all together in this worthy cause. Designers, Animators, and Builders who have donated we thank you, we are humbled by your generosity.
