Video Clips from the Release Party
Since a picture's worth a thousand words (and I don't feel like writing a thousand words at the moment) I decided to tell you about the release party documentary-style. Check out the video above for some song snippets, and below for some Kodak moments.
Jess and Christina (aka Triana and Kat) get set up at the merch table before the show starts.
Pretty Kat smiling as I start the show.
I hadn't planned to do more than three or four tunes the entire night, and instead have folks listen to the album some more. I ended up doing nine songs and only ran the album during my set break. Sometimes its best to play these things by ear, so to speak.
This was the first time I did a hybrid show that hit both a real life audience and an SL crowd at the same time. I found that I wanted to be able to pay more attention to my digital fans who hung around during the show, but the real people had to take precedence. NO matter, it was fun for everyone.
Thanking Bunny for his efforts...
... and Ken too.
The crowd was cool and seemed to appreciate the tunes, which is always nice.

Signing CDs while my son actually seems almost impressed.
I want to briefly thank some folks who really came through for me at the show. First and foremost, my darling Kat for helping prep and execute this event with style. Also to Triana Caldera, who flew to LA from Minnesota just to be here for the event. Also to Diana Renoir, who handled things in SL while we were otherwise preoccupied with meatspace. Let's not forget perhaps the most important element of all, which were the friends and fans and music lovers who came out for the show. It really couldn't have been much better.

It went better than I could have possibly hoped. This coming Friday, we're doing another party, but this time it's 100% in SL, and I get to play DJ for my own album. :)
