Of Revolutions, Cats and House Warmings

During this time also there was a revolution mounting in Americana led by fleabite Beach.  You can read about it in Hamet Au’s New Word News . He was known as Hamlet Linden then,  SL’s own embedded journalist.

Unfortunately Americana closed in mid October of 2003, we just couldn’t afford the weekly taxes on a whole region anymore.  Remember this was before US$ were used and we all lived off stipends and what money we were able to earn selling things. This is Garth and me in front of the Memorial Spire that Ramon Kothari put up.  It is still there in the Blue region.

An ad Garth made for his stunt helicopter.  This is before we combined our names after we were SL married.  That is my lighthouse on our Clyde property.

During that time Garth and our good friend CrowCatcher Valen hired Baccara Rhodes to help them throw a big inauguration of Fairlight Flight and Crow’s Music Store.

It was held next to the Chrysler Building (which Crow built) in Americana (Blue region).  A large number of Avatars attended and oohed and aahed at the stunts Garth’s planes could perform.

You can still pick up this stunt plane at our Lighthouse Store in FairChang Calypso.  All free now!
We then hired Baccara to organize us a house warming for our new island home in Clyde.  We named the island “Las Brisas”.  Fey Brightwillow designed and made my dress as well as a a gift of a halter top for the ladies and a matching shirt for the men.

What a wonderful island it was and Bacca did a bang up job decorating it.  As you can see we had a marina and a sea water swimming pool on the lower level then the second level was our home.  Then stairs up to the runway and hangar.  The party was up on the runway.

That is CrowCatcher Valen to the left and Baccara Rhodes, but I don’t know who she is chatting with.  We had a wonderful time.
Hallowe'en moon in Taber - 2003 - fc land
Remember when Linden Lab changed the sun and the moon for special days?  This is the moon over Taber on Hallowe`en.  Garth and I are hovering over the Apartment House he built.  We got some nice rents on them for a while.  The building was never full tho………….
Then someone built a cemetary in Clyde for Hallowe`en celebrations and put up these headstones!  hehehe

Well it has been a long time since I have blogged here, but time to get the few tidbits I remember down before I forget them all.  I am afraid that a lot is out of order but I am sure you will enjoy looking back with me.
Chat at you later!  Love from Pituca.

  1. Dear Pituca! So wonderful of you to return again.
    After I spoke to you last year, and you did a post, I was concerned you wouldn't find the time to return for all of us, or that you would find all of this too painful. Thank you!
    There are far to few of you left that can chat about those first days... and there are a few of us that understand how important it is.
