As any of my long time friends/fans know, I enjoy playing live music at venues in SL that are new for me (as in, I've never played there before). Yesterday, I did exactly that, performing at the massive ancient Roman role-playing sim of ROMA. It was their annual Spring Festival, and they chose me as their entertainment due to the recommendation of my manager, Maali Beck.
It turned out to be a really nicely-designed build, and I did my set on a small stage in the midst of a lovely meadow, which seemed appropriate for springtime in ancient Rome (or anywhere else for that matter). We had a relatively small but fun and enthusiastic crowd, and once again, I was happy with my performance. It always seems like a dice roll as to whether my voice and guitar will decide to do what I want them to; this time, they nicely complied. Also, as I've been doing lately since I started working with Maali, I reached a little deeper into my giant pile o' songs to pull out some stuff I haven't done recently, which was fun.
Diana and Xerxes dance while I sing happy love songs.

Real Romans don't wear underwear under their togas. Well, at least I didn't.
