JUNE BLOOMS

June was filled with magical realism in Sunbeam’s virtual worlds. Sun experienced many magical moments such as being a “Guest Guide” for the HG Tour group ‘Metaverse Tours‘, The group visited Tangle grid’s Kling Kingdom, Aqualand on Metropolis and The River Lands on Great Canadian grid:

She attended the The Hypergrid ‘WIP’ Shows held in June. (Works in Progress)

She magically became a ‘Mermaid’ and watched all the human folks walking on the docks across the water channel to AAcme City’s harbor.

She attended ‘Market Day’ on the medieval role=play regions The River Lands, Great Canadian Grid.

She was a nervous wreck waiting on the tour bus after working all day really hard polishing up AAcme City side=by-side with AAcme Fall to impress the expected visitors from

the Hypergrid Nights tour group. They explored the city then joined us for a magical party held at The Carousel Club (34 Avatars attended) with Dj Darrow Kanto playing some great tunes,

And she published the 4th issue of VISIONZ magazine – Hypergridders Dream.

She was asked to be a guest on the INWORLD REVIEW TV show to talk about VISIONZ and AAcme City. Inworld Review is hosted by Mal Burns.

( since Sunbeam does not have a microphone she asked her VISIONZ Sr Editor and also a AAcme City shop owner, Avia Bonne to appear in her place ) . She watched quietly below the stage area.

She attended her first ‘Writers’ Class’ conducted by Siobhan Muir on Nara’s Nook grid (Sun dearly wishes to became a better writer),

She attended a beautiful virtual wedding of her new friends Daniella and Josiah MacTire officiated by Jaekob Faolan.

She worked on planting even more flowers on her Enchanted Village (for non=humans), Hidden Glenn region located on Tangle grid.

Sunbeam and AAcme attended a ‘Crash Party’ on GCG and danced the night away, no matter how hard we tried the sim would not CRASH! lol 48 Avatars attended, I understand the record is 60.

Sunbeam and AAcme also celebrated over 100 visitors who have come to see our beloved AAcme City and share our joy in driving around the magical roadways, fighting off the zombies and strolling along the boardwalk.

Sun also enjoyed visiting with friends and family and going on many HG tours and trying out the new daredevil jump on our 2nd level roads and overall she had way too much FUN spreading Sunbeams.

June, the sunny month, shiny and as bright as the magic in our hearts ♥As always my valued friends and soon to be friends, Step in Sunshine!

April Fools’

Certain numbers were considered sacred, holy, or magical by the ancient Egyptians, particularly 2, 3, 4, 7, and their multiples and sums . Can you name the only number that has the same number of characters as its value in the English language? Here’s a hint: what month of the year hosts EARTH DAY?

The beginning of my favorite month! Why you ask? Well……

My parents were married on April Fool’s Day (1944) and me and Dude were married on April 4th (44 years yeah, wow) and then there is Easter which usually falls into the month of April but occasionally its been known to sneak in early at the end of March. Such as the dates below:

22nd March 1818 – 30th March 1902 – 31st March 2002 – 31st March 2013 31st March 2024 4-5-2015 Easter is coming…Happy Easter ♥ have a crackin’ Easter Everyone!

Moving on through my love of April, both my rl chidlren were born in the month of April (son born April 22nd , daughter born April 25th) and one of my most passionate causes EARTH DAY global observance April 22nd.

So you can understand why April is packed full of fun and celebrations for me.

Enjoy your own April ! and don’t forget April Showers bring May flowers!

April Lovin’

What’s your favorite month of the year?

Artificial Intelligence in VW

A.L.I.C.E. Artificial Intelligence … has come to virtual worlds. My first introduction to this phenomenon was when my friend Lion Ewry introduced me to “Mr. Ed” a beautiful black and white pinto horse who will follow you around and chat with you on just about any subject. The more you talk the larger “Mr. Ed’s” vocabulary grows. I was totally impressed!!!

This wonderful experience felt magical, my goodness we’re communicating with a horse! Oh such bizzare fun! DJTommy Seetan and Lion Ewry worked together to make this talking horse a virtual reality. And if you just feel plain silly talking to a horse, go to Intoxicated region @ Island Oasis, at the Games Area there you can sit and chat with ‘Nadia’ the Gypsy… ‘Nadia’ she will make you laugh and the time will fly by as the two of you get to know each other. Daisy Coronet, Mrs. Kat Ewry, Lion Ewry and DJTommy Seetan and Sunbeam spent a lovely time playing games and chatting with Artificial Intelligence… what’s next.. holograms??? dancing with your avatar buddies from around the world in your very own rl livingroom. IMAGINE.

Sunbeam Shares Secrets with ‘Nadia’

It’s been a very busy couple weeks for me…. in my VW grids. Sunbeam enjoyed some great Disco music and shared some laughs with Max Kling DJ @ Olantic… it brought back memories of the days when Dude and I taught Disco lessons around the Southern California area. Dude was the DJ (killer sexy voice) and myself and our dear friends at the time (so to protect their privacy lets just call them the Furries, and myself made up our traveling troupe. We called ourselves “The Sunset Dancers” ♫♫♪ “Those were the days my friend I’d thought they never end ♫♪♫” Freak OUT! Funky Town!

DJ Max Kling

Silver Horses Pub

Sunbeam helped set up the venue for my bffz (best friends forever)Lion Ewry and Katarina Svarovski and was Maid of Honor at the wedding and Wedding Co-ordinator. We had a nice rehersal and all went very well. It was the most beautiuful wedding I’ve ever been to in a VW (and let me tell you I have been to many over the last 8 years) and the most special thing happened. Lion asked Kat to marry him in rl too. Yeah! so romantic. They met in InWorst virtual grid and were introduced by me, myself and alt (Evvie Silverweb) and I feel like a match.maker he he. The are two of the nicest, most generous, most helpful, most compassionate avi’s I’ve ever met. I made a smilebox slideshow of some wedding snaps I was able to get:

The Ewry Wedding, January 27th, 2013

On the WHAT grid: don’t you just love that name. Remember the old “who’s on first routine” done by Abbot and Costello? Sunbeam helped fill up the contest pods, and get avi’s entered. The beginnings of the contest builds is already turning Marvin Park into a magically wonderful, colorful place full of hearts, and love. We have such awesome builders entered: AAcme Fall, jillytopaz wasp, guy quicksand, Fee Edenbaum, Anan Eebus, Shadow Ilo and mark forster.

Progress has begun on WHAT Hearts Desires Build Contest

I set up a sim wide menu teleport system for the RP Western Town, Dry Gulch IO on Lady K & Lions Horse World region. I visited the new Welcome center at Island Oasis and spent some quality time with my friend Annallisia (she lives in Germany but is actually from the United States). I down sized to one shop only in 3rg and helped Dude to take down his AAcme shop and box up his things. He rarely rarely ever joins me in Virtual Worlds anymore, preferring to spend his time other ways. Anyway I will close this post with just a bunch of random GridHopping pictures I captured while flittering about the magical metaverse. Hope you enjoy them!

Step in Sunshine!

Ps. I haven’t quite mastered inserting pictures they seem to stick whenever they want to not where I told them to.
