Golfing With the President- Stacey Cardalines Reporting...
Terry’s Sunday Showcase – It was an incredible night for Live Music- Brooke Blackburn Reporting...
With the start of November, daylight savings isn’t the only thing that has come to a conclusion. October ended and that brings to a close the breast cancer awareness events around the country. Many great events and experiences have raised thousands of dollars for cancer research and hopefully one day all this effort can produce a cure for this deadly disease. Throughout the month of October, Terry’s Place has raised money for this great cause with an impressive amount. Terry’s Place has alone, through your donations has raised over $L 96,000!! An impressive amount by any standard bringing in close to 5% of all charitable donations in SL for breast cancer for a grand total of L$ 463,706!!
Wolfie |
This past Sunday was their 6 month anniversary and to kick it off, a special live performance by Wolfie Moonshadow and the winner of their open mic contest Rocker. A packed house is nothing unusual for Wolfie and this Sunday was no exception. In Terry’s Place modified outdoor area, Wolfie entertained the crowd to screams and howls as always.
Rocker |
With the crowd all warmed up, Terry’s open mic winner Rocker brought the crowd to a rip roaring frenzy. Rocker with his own unique singing style shows everyone exactly why he was the open mic winner! Open mic night, sponsored by Moonlight Music and is every Friday night from 8pm to 10pm SLT and open to all performers.
Kat Vargas |
On a devastating note, just hours before tonight’s performance, a beloved member of the Second Life music circle, Kat Vargas, passed away from the world’s new reality, Covid-19. Kat was the manager for many Singers and performers and a huge proponent for Live Singing. She was loved by many and an inspiration to us all. She will surely be missed.
Seth Regan/Mankind Tracer |
In the newly redesigned club, a regular, Seth Regan / Mankind Tracer entertains a new crowd at 9:00pm. Seth sings every other week and has a loyal fan following, not only in the US and Canada but all over the world, filling the club to its newly expanded capacity. A little fun fact about Seth is, along with being one of the best singers in Second Life since 2006, he is also one hell of a graphic artist, personally designing Terry’s Place Logo. Seth has a wide singing range and sings many fan favorites like Roxanne by the Police and Elton John’s Rocket Man. After giving the crowd what they came for he did a fitting tribute to Kat Vargas, singing Landslide by Fleetwood Mac. It was a very moving performance and you could instantly tell it touched everyone in attendance. Seth has an incredible voice and does the tribute to Kat the justice she so deserves.
Sunday night was a fitting evening for their 6 month anniversary and if you want to experience a night of great music, fun and laughter come on out to Terry’s place. A friendly neighborhood pub where everyone knows your name!! Five nights a week events are happening where you are sure to find yourself entertained.

GeekSpeak – Is there life after lockdown? Join the discussion Oct 31st at 12pm SLT
Will we have to wear masks forever? Never visit a restaurant again? Will we work from home forever? Will office buildings become obsolete? Will we order all our food online in future and never again visit a foreign country?
Or will things get back to normal, the old normal? We hope it will of course. But what will have changed when the dust has settled and we crawl out of our houses again? Let’s prepare for that future and explore what will have changed, perhaps forever.
Do you see any good coming out of the pandemic and the lockdowns? The end of cities? The feeling that we must help each other? Or is it all bad?
Bring your friends. No need for testing, SL is virus-safe

Tips for Accessorizing with Gold Jewelry
Gold is undoubtedly a classic. While jewelry fashions change like all other trends, gold is typically one of the first things that come to mind when we think of style and luxury. Gold jewelry is the epitome of glamour, expense, and sophistication. While we might love to experiment with different metals and materials and play with our tastes and styles, it’s always gold we come back to, whether we are looking to make an impression, tone things down, or treat ourselves.
But it can be easy to go wrong with gold. It’s easy to get carried away, turning an elegant piece into a jumble of color. It’s easy to wear too much, to overcrowd, and look cheap, rather than chic. If you want to wear gold well, then here are some tips to help.
Let it Shine
Layering is very popular right now. We layer beads and chains, as well as jumpers and tees. Layering items is a great way to add depth and texture and take an outfit to the next level. But, if you want to layer with gold, whether it’s rings, necklaces, or bracelets, you should still try to keep it simple. Stick to thin stacking rings, bangles, and chains. Opt for simple stones and delicate pendants to let your jewelry shine.
If you want to wear a statement piece, wear it alone, teamed with a simple black dress or white shirt. For example, a small gold chain with a simple princess diamond, or more delicate pieces can look exceptionally classy teamed with a little black dress. With gold, quite often, less is more.
Get Creative with Color
When you think of gold, yellow is probably the first kind that comes to mind, but it’s certainly not your only option. White and rose gold can also look glorious. White gold gives you a great chance to play with color, teamed with a colorful watch strap, outfit, or mixed stones, while rose gold can add warmth to an outfit. Mixing metals and shades can also look great and can be a great way to play with bolder designs.
Match Your Necklines
If you want a gold necklace to shine, pair it with the right neckline. Take care to wear chains and necklaces that sit away from your clothes’ natural neckline. This will stop your jewelry getting lost, or your look becoming overcrowded and fussy.
Get Lucky
Emeralds are thought to be the luckiest of gems, and they look simply divine with yellow or white gold. Team emeralds with a white tee, jeans, and sneakers for an elegant yet laid back look, perfect for days about town.
Select Favorites
With gold, it’s important to take the time to find pieces that you love. Take a look at reputable sites like Orocal for some ideas. You’ll find a vast range of gold quartz jewelry online that’s easy to wear and will elevate any outfit.
Once you’ve worked out what you like and what suits you, gold becomes easier to wear. Just remember, you probably need less than you think you do.

Spotlight on Terry’s Place- Interview with Ninja- Lanai Jarrico Reporting...
In just 6 months of opening its doors, Terry’s Place is one of the fastest growing venues in Second Life, showcasing some of the top entertainers in Second Life. Owned and operated by Ninja (ninjaantwoord) and the lovely Ember (missember), together they created an atmosphere that welcomes all. The warm and friendly atmosphere makes you feel like you are part of a group of friends, kinda like “Cheers” where everyone knows your name. Big names like The Follow, AmForte Clarity, Mankind Tracer and Wolfie Moonshadow have graced the stage.
Recently, I had the pleasure to sit down with Ninja to learn more about Terry’s Place and what’s to come! I heard something about a Sunday Showcase but I’ll let him share the news.
Interview with Ninja
Lanai: Hi Ninja, it’s a pleasure to sit down with you to talk about Terry’s Place. I’ve been hearing the buzz about the place. Before getting into the meat and potatoes, I'd like our readers to learn more about you. How did you discover Second Life?
Ninja: Hi Lanai, it's a pleasure to sit down with you as well and thank you so much for the kind words! To make a long story short, I ran across Second Life back in 2013 when I was looking for a way to spend more time with one of my best friends, Christine, who lived in a different city and state than I did. I've been very fortunate over the years to meet some really great people from all walks of life, from stay at home moms to established career professionals and everything in between. This level of diversity is somewhat difficult to find on many of the other social platforms available today, and I feel very blessed with the opportunity to have met some truly wonderful friends from all over the world, some of whom I've even developed strong relationships with in my real life.
Lanai: What does Second Life mean to you? Is it an extension of your real life or just a game?
Ninja: Well it certainly started out as an extension of my real life and honestly, in many ways it still is. Sure, to some this may be just a game, but I fully recognize that there are real people behind these avatars, with real feelings and emotions, and that they deserve the same respect and courtesy you would give to someone met in your real life. That being said, I do also realize that a certain degree of privacy should be maintained in a virtual environment, both from a safety and a practical standpoint. It's also extremely important to balance Second Life with your real life responsibilities, whatever they may be, and to be understanding of other people's need to do the same.
Lanai: With all the venues coming and going. Clubs have proven to be hard to maintain with all the competition out there. Terry’s Place is just 6 months old but seems to be doing very well. What made you create Terry’s Place and how are you making it work?
Ninja: Actually Ember and I first floated the idea of opening a club about two years ago, when we were doing smaller private events for some of our friends. We were a little hesitant at first, wanting to make sure that we would be able to offer the time and financial commitment it takes to make any successful venue work. It was also very important for us to be unique...to create something sustainable that couldn't easily be copied unlike anything that had existed in Second Life before. So, we identified our resources and came up with a plan for a hybrid club/live music venue. But what to call it? Ember and I are both avid music lovers...we also had become very close friends both in RL and SL over the years. One day when we were laughing together over a viral YouTube video, we found our answer. Terry's Place is essentially a culmination of this strong bond we share along with others in the Second Life community. We consider both our staff and our VIPS to be an actual part of our family and treat them as such...I believe that philosophy has contributed greatly to many of our successes.
Lanai: Every successful club has a strong team, who makes up Terry’s Place and what do they do?
Ninja: First and foremost, I'd have to say that our strongest team members would have to be our patrons...without them, venues like Terry's Place would cease to exist. I cannot even begin to describe how thankful I am that so many wonderful people have chosen to spend their time with us. It is truly a humbling experience and serves as a constant reminder of why I do what I do.
Terry's Place would also not be possible without the unwavering support of my co-owner, Ember. Much of the hard work she does is behind the scenes and frequently lacks the recognition by others that I feel it so very deserves, from strategic planning to creating immersive low lag builds that enhance the user experiences of everyone involved. She is an incredibly special person and I am honored to have her as one of my closest friends, both in and out of Second Life.
Last but certainly not least, Terry's Place is very fortunate to have some of the friendliest and most talented staff members on the grid. Each and every person on our team has contributed in countless ways to what has made Terry's what it is today, using their own personal strengths and passions to take us from good to great. Our DJs (Outlaw, Cyanide, Jay Mac, and Stroke) alone have well over a century of combined real life experience, and they as well as many others have shown themselves on a daily basis willing to go the extra mile when needed. Piper, my loving partner, for instance, works as an assistant manager for Terry's and also helps coordinate several of our social media campaigns. Finally, our hosts play a critical role in creating a welcoming environment for our VIPs, including Tangie, Precious, Laurianya, Christine, Dazy, Devra, Ghostie, and others too numerous to list here. These are the folks that are the heartbeat of Terry's Place, and I love each and every one of them as I would a member of my own family.
Lanai: What type of events do you host at Terry’s Place and how often?
Ninja: We really have tried to create a little something for everyone at Terry's...people from all walks of life are welcome here, whether you're a live music fan, a furry, or someone just looking to make a few new friends. Currently, we run events five days a week (Thursday through Monday), with Tuesday and Wednesday being reserved primarily for planning and special events. In addition to entertainment by our outstanding DJs, we also have a fantastic weekly open mic sponsored by the fine folks over at Moonlight Music open to performers of all levels of experience, as well as a Sunday Showcase highlighting some of the most talented live musicians and songwriters on the grid. Starting November 1, our regular weekly schedule will be as follows (excluding some holidays and special events):
Sundays (times vary): Terry's Sunday Showcase (live music)
Mondays: 4pm SLT - Maniac Mondays with DJ Stroke (rock)
6pm SLT - Kickin' Country with DJ Outlaw (country)
Thursdays: 7pm SLT - Throwdown Thursday with DJ Cyanide (old vs new, mixed genre)
Fridays: 6pm SLT - The Mac Attack Show with Jay and Dazy Mac (mixed genre)
8pm SLT - Open Mic Night sponsored by Moonlight Music (open to all performers)
Saturdays: 6pm SLT - Saturday Shenanigans with DJ Ninja (rock/mixed genre/special events)
8pm SLT - The Mac Attack Show with Jay and Dazy Mac (mixed genre)
Probably the best way to keep up to date with the latest happenings at Terry's Place is by joining our group or clicking on one of the subscribe-o-matic kiosks we have placed around the venue...we also have a regularly updated schedule board posted at various points around the venue for those who might want to plan a little further in advance.
Lanai: Aside from your events during the week, Can you tell me more about Terry’s Sunday Showcase and the concept behind the event?
Ninja: Well i've always been a tremendous fan of the live music scene in SL, even more so considering I've worked in the entertainment industry IRL for many years. I had become quite close with several of the extremely talented musicians and songwriters here, both on a personal and professional level, and I wanted to do something special to show my appreciation while also highlighting those who might otherwise go unnoticed. Most people don't know this, but being asked to perform at our Sunday Showcase should really be considered somewhat of an honor...I hand select everyone personally based on a number of criteria, including how they interact with their fans and other venue owners such as myself. I like to think of the Terry's stage as very similar to the Ryman...some of the best in the business have performed here (Seth Regan/Mankind Tracer, Max Kleene, Semina, AMForte, The Follow, and so many others too numerous to mention) and I do my best to treat them all with the respect, support and admiration that they very truthfully deserve, even after the performance is done.
Recently, I've began developing Terry's Sunday Showcase even further using my creative side. One way I've done this is by offering a chance to be considered for a slot on the Showcase during our weekly Open Mic, enabling additional opportunities for previously undiscoved talent. Another example, a few weeks ago we put together a very well attended triple stream featuring Max, FLY, and Zachh Cale...all of them had worked with each other duelstreaming before but had never performed together as a whole. Little did I know there was someone in the audience that would make this one of the most memorable and rewarding experiences of my career....apparently a nurse was logged in at work listening to the stream with several of her cancer patients. She shared with us privately that her patients were very content at the music that was being performed and to thank us for providing the opportunity...yet another inspiring reminder that you never know who might be listening.
Lanai: Before I conclude this interview I must say for the sake of Avie safety...put up a warning sign around Lil Terry, I nearly slipped and twisted an ankle on your mascot lol! Thank you for the interview Ninja! I wish you the very best with Terry’s Place. I’ll be sure to check out the events. Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
Ninja: Hahaha I'll keep that in mind, Lanai....Lil Terry is one of a kind, that's for sure!! :-P
I do also want to say a special thank you to everyone who has donated so very generously to our Rock Your Rack charity campaign throughout the month of October...even in the midst of a global pandemic, we've raised over L$ 48,000 at our venue alone in the fight against breast cancer, and Terry's is proud to match your contributions to help support this important cause!
Thank you again so much for this wonderful opportunity to share with you today....Terry's has many exciting things coming over the next several months and I hope your readers thoroughly enjoy what we have in store for the future!

GeekSpeak – Where are we going in Space? Join the discussion Oct 24th at 12pm SLT
Next week we will see the first 15km hop of a starship, a milestone in the history of space exploration.
Many companies are competing to get to the moon or to get to Mars or to catch an asteroid. Soon we will see rocket factories that churn out a new rocket every week. The space era is truly beginning.
So where will we go first? Space tourism? Space business? What do you think is the logical path? Will we soon have millions of people living and working in space?
Come and discuss the future that is just around the next curvature of space. Bring your astronaut buddies!
IM Vulcan Viper, who teaches a meditation class every Wednesday at 1pm in the GeekSpeak auditorium, if you have ideas for new subjects.
