Enjoying the fruits of our labor
Today we took a day…well, if not off, almost off!
Friday, a million linden dollars hit Tuna Oddfellow’s bank — that’s the approximately $3750 prize for NBC’s America’s Got Talent promotion in Second Life. After picking up a few toys “in-world” as Shava Suntzu and Tuna Oddfellow, we decided to spend some of Saturday catching our breath from the last week of whirlwind interviews and events.
Today, we caught a nice brunch at Sabur, a Bosnian restaurant in our neighborhood, and then drove out to look for patterns and fabric for the next round of costumes for the act. Last week, we spent a little money ahead for a new tux, rather Edwardian in style, for Fish. Today we picked out almost two dozen patterns for historical costumes. My favorite is this period piece, which I’m thinking of doing in a rust or burgundy velvet coat.
Then, a great splurge, sushi for dinner.
Tomorrow, (or at this late hour, really later today on Sunday in the US) Tuna will be performing and lecturing in Second Life twice, at 11am and 4pm SLT, talking about being a magician in real life, Second Life, the contest, recreating his performance (more or less), and then taking questions from the audience. This is part of the overall festivities for the Second Life 4th Birthday bash, and will be held at the reproduction Globe Theater on Cookie island, courtesy of Ina and the folks from sLiterary (SL’s premiere literary magazine).
I hope to see some of you there!
