Let’s see. Since the Wizard of Oz party, I picked up a few more gigs as a DJ. Some are recurring and some were one time events. I DJ’d at The Bunker in Gay Fun World a couple of times and very recently I have been asked back again for the Saturday 6pm-8pm slot. Due to real life commitments I will not be able to commit to every Saturday but should be able to be there a couple times a month at least.
For awhile I was working at Club TBone on Thursday nights 10pm-Midnight, then switched to 8pm-10pm. When the RL hockey season started, Thursday nights was not very convenient especially for most of October. The owner Tom moved me to Sunday nights which seems to be working out well. I am there Sunday’s from 9-11.
I also started at Tadd’s Cabaret & Dance Club every Monday night from 7pm-9pm. The folks at Tadd’s are great and I always have a great time there and this gig has been going on for maybe a month or so. My good friend Bobo has started dancing there during my set and we all know what a crack up he is and how he really keeps people on their toes.
I picked up a Tuesday afternoon party from 2pm-4pm at Tiger’s Island. This place really jams and Rickie and Quagmire who own the place are a dream to work for. Starting on November 12th I will be working there from 8pm-10pm instead of the afternoons. I will follow the awesome DJ Syriana Paine who spins from 6-8pm there. That is exciting as I have always admired her DJ style and she is a great woman to boot. I am actually a little nervous following her. The only drawback to this time slot for me, is I will not be able to go to Syriana’s set at Jakes on Thursdays from 8-11.
That’s pretty much it for my regularly scheduled gigs. I know all of you are probably wondering what happened to all the sets I used to do at Club Thunder. Well…that is a long story. As you know Van and I were dating which made working at Thunder a joy. As sometimes happens to relationships, they change or often end. That is what happened to ours. I had hoped to continue a business relationship with Van but that does not seem to be in the cards right now. Who knows, that may change in the future.
On a much happier note, I have met a man that has transformed my SL in ways I had not felt in many, many months. We actually met mid July while I was the DJ at one of the Tuesday night leather parties at Thunder. He was fairly new to SL and we talked a little about music while the party was going on. He actually emailed me a song which I was able to upload and use in the set that evening.
I thought he was really nice (AND CUTE) but, as you know, I am a very faithful guy. I did not even think to flirt with him or use any of the special “charm” that is Jon B. LOL We chatted a few times over the next week but it was only during my gigs and usually involved music I was playing or some additional suggestions for songs he had.
He sort of disappeared off my radar for a several weeks as I stopped seeing him at Club Thunder or anywhere else I happened to party. In late September he showed up at a party I was DJing at and we reconnected. As I was single, I asked if he wanted to hang out sometime. Long story short - we probably have not gone a day without seeing each other since then. On October 15th I asked him if he wanted to go steady. Yeah I know…how high school right? I was happy and excited when he said “Yes!”.
I don’t know where this all will lead, and not sure I want to think that far into the future. All I know is he makes me so happy when we are together. Here are some pictures of us in some of our adventures.
And yeah….I changed my skin as well. I guess it has been awhile since I did a complete overhaul. Over two years! Hope you all enjoy the new look(s).
