Me, rocking a funky virtual venue? It must be the first Tuesday of the month at Hotel Chelsea. Photo by Kat.
Continuing our series of brief show reports from Second Life... I had my monthly show at Hotel Chelsea on Tuesday night, and really, it couldn't have gone better. I was in a bit of a mood going into this one; it was my first show after the start of the U.S.-Israel War Against Iran that kicked off the previous Saturday February 28, and as a staunch anti-war pacifist, I was pretty pissed off about this aggressive and pointless military action.
That being said, while I did tailor my set list to address topics pertinent to the current events, I also thought it would be good to just do some tunes that had mellow vibes. There's enough anger and conflict in the world... I try not to add to it unless absolutely necessary. I'll also note that I had the benefit of my pal Max Kleene performing directly before me, and as has often been the case over the years, a good amount of his large crowd ended up sticking around for my show as well. That's a bonus.
Just me, my guitar, and an ugly tip jar. Photo by Kat.
Definitely no complaints about this Hotel Chelsea crowd size. And yes, it helps when I'm getting onstage after Max Kleene. Photo by Kat.
