Bonetto Club and Designs, the Sim that Love Built Lukes Lionheart Reporting...



Welcome to Bonetto's Club

 Lynnie Michigan had decided that this particular night was going to be her last night on SL. Though she had become a successful singer on SL and had many friends, let's face it, SL is not always sunshine and roses. Just like in RL there are knuckle heads around that can ruin all the positive things about SL. That is when a mutual friend introduced her to Porkie Bonetto. As she told me: “I was ready to leave sl. The night I met Porkie I was silently saying goodbye to sl because I found no purpose to being here. I was at this one club, in fact it was the old club that was where our current club is, and landed next to him. He was so cute there dancing with his arms and legs flying every which way lol. I noticed how he talked to people in chat. It was so real and he treated everyone with respect. It was just his mannerisms and the way he worded everything I could tell he was genuine. I had inquired who he was and she told me to say hi and I said noooooooooooooooo! I was rather shy. Finally she got tired of answering my questions and told Porkie to say hello to me. He did! I guess you could say he truly "Had me At Hello". That was June 18, almost 3 years ago.”

The Tiger in Flight

  Just when you think nothing on sl can surprise you anymore, you find yourself in the middle of a WWII aviation reenactment as a side gunner on a Japanese bomber with a white wolf wearing angle wings as your pilot. No kidding, but I digress. What started out four years ago as a small group of nomadic aviator friends flying around the grid for fun has evolved into a multi sim operation, the largest aviation group in sl with over 2400 members and a bunch of downright fun folks to hang out with.   Meet “The Flying Tigers”.

Spotlight Feature: Explore and Discover, Endeavour Cove - Lukes Lionheart Reporting...

Endeavour Cove

America has a space shuttle named “ Endeavour”. That name comes from good lineage. History buffs might remember something about Captain Cook and his famous sailing ship “The Endeavour”. For those who might not, here is a brief run down. Captain James Cook was a British explorer, navigator, cartographer and Captain of the famous exploration ship “HM Bark Endeavor”. He was the first European to make contact with the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands, as well as the first recorded circumnavigation of New Zealand. In short, he was a famous explorer who made many remarkable discoveries. This is where Endeavor Cove derives their name. They, and I, would like to invite you to come “Explore and Discover Endeavor Cove”

Dreams, More Than Just a Place to Build -- Lukes Lionheart Reporting

The Sojourner Memorial

What started as a story about a building contest turned into the story of "The Sojourner" and the Love of a Mouse.

I'm a builder here on SL and a couple of weeks back, I went to one of my haunts to watch a “Speed Building” contest. While there, I saw the notice for the monthly building contests. The theme for the month of March was “Green”. I thought, Wonderful! What a great theme, green, as in the environment. That would probably make a great story. So I sent an IM the owner of the “Dream Builders” group, a person by the name of “The Sojourner”, to ask for an interview. A little while later, I received an IM from Golda Stine, who said she was the sim caretaker. This struck me as a bit odd, but we set up a time to get together later that day. It turns out Golda is a pint-sized mouse with a giant heart of gold. After some initial chit chat, I got down to business and asked questions about the history of the sim, the how and why of the group and the March build contest. This is when I realized the story was not going to be about the contest; it is the story of The Sojourner.
