On to other things. I danced for a bit last night at the Vortex Club, and it is quite the fascinating place. Don't attend unless you can handle a large amount of scripted effects--nearly everything spins, glows, flashes, moves, twists, or is otherwise scripted in some fashion. There is a great deal of bright color, too, so if you're not the brightly colorful sort, well...
The music was trance, most of it original electronic mixes, and for a bit was even the top trending stream on Shoutcast while I was there.
All due to the DJ, DJDeanT, who works spinning tunes RL as well as SL. He introduced me to a new term while I was there, "kidult", which is a concept I can get behind, for all that most of my interests are most definitely adult.
[15:26] Gemini Enfield: I love torrential rain in a strange town
Well, to be fair, I do too. Mr. Enfield, by the way, owns the Vortex, and his regular patrons seem to adore him.
So, apparently, Loki Eliot built the club, which makes it child-friendly territory--the sim, Whippersnapper, is rated General--but for music this good, who really minds? I may come next week in one of the Iron Tinies.
Though I should warn you--they do have active 'child protection' defenses in place, in the place of Dave the Swear Pig. One must pay the Swear Pig ten Lindens if one swears, and one of the words--I am dead serious about this--is "camp". So mind your language whilst there.
DJDeanT plays there every Saturday, at least two to four pm, SLT.
Plus they have a StarGate! How awesome is that?
