That’s me, Kari in 2009 in Second Life
Hi everyone,
I am unusually excited to show and share this one:)
The music is mine, written on Garage Band but when I was writing it,
I had no idea what I would do with it. I admit, smiles, I myself love it!! Haha..not for lack of modesty, but just because it blew me away when I finally finished it. Now, I can not get it out of my head…oh and something new, I sing back up vocals on this one:)
After listening to it, I knew there was only one thing….make a nostalgic retro video
about my Bar & Dance in Second Life. The way we were…the way it was and why I was
captivated almost 18 years ago (in December)
Kari’s Bar & Dance turned 16 years old this year and still exists.
Please watch in 4K and turn up your sound.
To see the words of the poem click on cc on the bottom of the screen (I LOVE cc!)
Kari’s Bar & Dance opened its doors for the first time in New Toulouse in Second Life in the very beginning of 2009. This machinima is my contribution to remembering and honoring the good ol’ days of Second Life. This month is Second Life’s 22 Birthday (SL22B)
Kari’s Bar & Dance now resides on my own sim, LINC Island as part of LINC City, but many of the original furnishings are still being used today. It’s barely changed in over 16 years.
A special thank you to Dale Innis for dancing so gracefully and not stepping on my toes.
*If you could, a Like and comment on YouTube would be so appreciated:)

Awww so sweet Cindy and yes as I mentioned we have made real memories over many years and made lifetime friends. SL is 22 this year and I will be 18 (and can vote!!! “*kidding) and I feel I was so lucky to get in, in the first years,,I have learned so much…a very alternate kind of education and skill set, but at pushing 80..I’m still using them. Thank you so much Cindy for this inspiring comment.. Get an avatar and I will take you and we can play Greedy:)
