Rez Day Time: 17 years in Second Life ...
Back in 2007 on February 20th at approximately 3pm in the afternoon CET a virtual documentarian by the name of Draxtor Despres was born ....
If you are reading this anytime before 8am on February 20th, set your alarm for that precise time and join us for a rez day celebration in-world or by watching the stream below.
If you came across this post AFTER the event, please also click the link below because such is the magic of YouTube time travel you watch the proceedings at any time you wish 👇
I assure you: having been a shut-in micro-celebrity (or a micro-celebrity shut-in) in this gigantic universe of Second Life for 17 years now, I have stories to tell!
I know: you are probably thinking to yourself “but Draxtor, you produced close to 1000 video reportages and a handful of feature films. What stories have you not told?”
Fair point!
Sigh.
However there are unused clips such as below: outtake from my reportage about jazz great Toni Harper’s literal second life!
Ask yourself: can you really afford to miss incredible gems from the gigantic cutting room floor of an obsessive virtual world documentarian?
Mesh boobs anyone?
A who does NOT want to see young and handsome former Linden Lab CEO Philip Rosedale testifying in front of the US Congress?
Do people even remember that SL was proclaimed DEAD back in 2009 ????
And there is more: Flufee was running for (P)resident at one point, but then as we recall he was getting busted for running a sweatshop for mesh clothing in East Salinas …
You can’t miss this assortment of blasts from the primmy past AND I KNOW IT!
This is me giving back because I appreciate all the wonderful support SL residents have given me over the years.
The trust that so many folks whose lives I have profiled have placed in me to tell YOUR stories with depth and empathy is the most wonderful rez day gift ever!
See you in-world!
PS: should I invite Abramelin Wolfe or maybe rather not, since he will be changing the subject of SL celebration to talking about this obsolete thing called “Sansar” aka “next generation VR”? Better not take that risk ….
As Cattie Rosca I absolutely have this on my calendar. So unless someone dies (literally) I am there!!
