spired creativity studio wednesday june 4 2014 oh what a night it has been a couple of weeks since i have blogged things have been busy inspired creativity studio is going up in bay city on the docklands sim my exhibit proposal for sl11b was accepted and i have begun work on that so it has been a busy time for me in second life and then there was last night when things expected and unexpected kept me busy in bay city a june night at the pen last night was the june edition of espresso yourself at the pen in bay city as i mentioned in may i was hoping to get there on time and having something prepared to share i did make it on time barely i did have something to share it was a way of introducing myself to the residents of bay city it is titled why am i here and it focused no my relationship with elizabeth weinberg and it affected my second life i will post a transcript of it later today overall it was a fun night again many different stories thoughts and readings including i know why the caged bird sings by maya angelou who recently passed away the night went well and it lasted longer than the one in may it is definitely an event that i will have marked on my calendar for months to come i have already begun work on my story for july s espresso yourself an unexpected return after espresso yourself was over i wandered around bay city for awhile looking at new buildings that were going up around the city while i was heading back to the studio i saw a name pop up on my screen that i had not seen in 6 months elizabeth weinberg yes the same one that i had just mentioned at espresso yourself had returned i quickly made it back to the studio and invited her over we talked for a short while before she had to log off but she said that she would be back to say that i was overjoyed to see her again would be an understatement i was riding an emotional high and then it happened attack of the goonsquad as i stood there outside the studio after elizabeth left lost in thought and hopeful about what her return might mean i started getting inventory offers and pop up messages i turned and tere across the street from the studio stood a column of boxes over a 100 meters high and bearing the logo of the goonsquad the docklands were under attack by a griefer i quickly sounded the alarm and ran inside to change my land settings to prevent it from reaching the studio this was not the first griefer attack that i had witnessed in bay city there was one over memorial day weekend at that time i had noticed that the land across the street from the studio was vulnerable and had set up a plan of action when it was struck i just did not expect it to be struck so soon after all the excitement had died down i found myself totally drained so much had gone on in one night i called it a night and went to bed i just hope that i do not have another night like that soon i have an exhibit to build but more about in a blog post on sunday posted by linsey carter at 10 06 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday may 21 2014 sl11b now the waiting begins yesterday at noon slt was the application deadline for exhibitors performers presenters and volunteers for sl11b i submitted my application for my exhibit weeks ago i had been debating whether to do a presentation in the auditorium i had been back ad forth on the idea my decision was finally settled yesterday about 30 minutes before the application deadline when my cable company started work down the road and cut off internet access so now i wait to see if my exhibitor application is accepted unlike last year this year it looks like the next few days are going to be a nervous time for many of the applicants including myself according to a post on the sl community celebration website last night there were 426 exhibitor applications received and there are only 243 spots for them even if you exclude the duplicate applications and applications for exhibits that are commercial or promotional in nature that still leaves a lot of good exhibits out of this year s celebration while it can be debated whether that is a good thing or not especially after some of the exhibits that were included in sl10b it does mean that exhibitors have to make a choice assume that you are going to be in and start work on your exhibit or wait to start until you know that you have been selected as for me i have decided to start work on my exhibit this weekend if i make it in that will be wonderful if i don t make it in then i may still use the exhibit at a future date the sims open to exhibitors on may 30 so 9 or less days of waiting for all of those who submitted applications good luck to all those who submitted applications for sl11b i am sure that it will be amazing this year linsey posted by linsey carter at 9 32 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday may 19 2014 a new studio is coming eventually over the past couple of weeks i have been searching for a new place to put my studio and galleries the search has been at times quite frustrating looking at the available land listed in sl search and getting some tips from friends has led me nowhere so yesterday as i roamed the streets of bay city after the 6th anniversary party and parade there i began to ponder about putting my studio there since then i have started working out the pros and cons of having my gallery in bay city pros i know the people that i would be dealing with there whenever you go someplace new it is always good to know that you have a base of support and knowledge of the area that you can draw upon bay city is an active community there are so many communities in second life that pop up and then slowly die off finding one that has stuck around and stood the test of time is always a positive infrastructure bay city has a set of streets that you can use to get around the city it is not like many places that can be accessed only by teleporting directly to them cons land prices the price of purchasing land in bay city is astronomical compared to most other areas in second life this make a very high barrier to entry for anyone wanting to live or work in bay city theme building codes can i make the vision that i have work in the 1950s era theme of bay city location location location can i find a good location to place my studio where it can be seen and easily accessed there are a lot of places in bay city where land is locked behind other resident s homes or businesses making it difficult for people to see or access self censorship it is a question that i have been asking myself since i returned and started looking for a place for new studio can i make it work on a moderate rated region my answer has come up yes but that is based on my interpretation of the ratings others may see things differently which leads to a second question will i change my art to avoid potential conflict with other residents that is a harder question right now my answer is maybe these are just a few of the things that must be weighed as i consider placing my studio in bay city it is not going to happen overnight my current goal is to reopen my studio by early july i have enlisted the aid of a long time bay city resident in my search hopefully with their help i will be able to secure a location sooner rather than later posted by linsey carter at 10 00 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday may 14 2014 an ever lasting story yesterday afternoon word came that ever dreamscape had passed away on may 8th i will admit that ever and i were not friends barely even acquaintances however i did follow her posts to her sl feed the best way to describe ever is that she was a storyteller the pictures she posted usually told a story often these stories were humorous and sometimes informative like a good skit comedian she had recurring characters that appeared in her stories there was the woman in the pink robe with curlers in her hair the news anchorwoman for etv and the wide mouthed promoter of events in bay city where she made her home while i did not know ever i did find the way she told her stories to be inspiring i have tried to do the kind of storytelling that she did a couple of times it can be very hard i have no idea how long she spent working on some of her storylines but it is clear form some of them that she did put a good deal of effort into them probably the most memorable of these photo stories that she told was done early last year a friend of hers who is also a friend of mine had been gone from sl for an extended period of time rather than make a post to the friend s page telling her she was missed ever did much more she made missing person posters and plastered them around bay city then did an etv news segment on the hunt for her missing friend i was extremely moved by the effort that ever put into that story i had never seen anything like it in sl and probably won t for a long time ever was a very unique individual even in a place like second life from the costumes she wore to her penchant for blowing things up or burning things down she was always changing and never predictable from the posts that have been made on the sl feed since news of her passing was announced it is clear that her presence will be deeply missed late last night i went to the makeshift memorial that had been set up in bay city there were still a few people there when i arrived while i was standing there i looked at the sl feed to see what others had been posting one of the posts from a friend of mine was a link to a blog post my friend had made on that blog post my friend had included a link to a blog entry that ever had made back in march titled hero s journey it was a story by ever in fact it was her story the story of her journey through life with its ups and downs twists and turns a story about trying to find that elusive place called home through her story i finally got to know about ever when i finished reading i looked around and everyone else was gone i was alone to think about what i had just read even at the end ever has given me a shining spark of inspiration there may never be another one like ever dreamscape her journey in second life and the real world is over however the stories that she told may live on stay tuned related links hero s journey by ever dreamscape posted by linsey carter at 10 24 am 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday may 9 2014 introducing the weekend caption meme yes i know you are rolling your eyes not another meme yes there are tons of memes out there but as the name of the studio suggests one of the things that i hope to do is inspire others to be creative this meme will be short and simple it is a variation on whiskey monday and botgirl questi s single frame stories but a lot less abstract so here is how it will work 1 on thursday afternoon or evening yes i am late with the first one i will post a suggestion for a caption for a picture a lot of times it will be a fill in the blank or a phrase 2 take a picture and use the suggested caption for the picture or but it in the description of the picture if posting to flickr or some other photo sharing website 3 drop a link to the picture in the comments section here or on the post on my sl feed 4 have fun that s it now fir the rules 1 the meme runs between the time that the suggestion is made until sunday night 2 keep it clean what you post is a reflection on you not me but please keep your pictures clean i hate policing my sl feed and the comments section of this blog 3 k i s s keep it simple stupid this is not a contest to see how abstract you can be or what you can do with photoshop or gimp the idea is to have fun the less time and more creative you can be in the surroundings around you the better 4 you may post links to as many pictures as you like as long as they have different and unique captions try to be different think outside the box and put a different spin on the suggestion so let s get this started in honor of mother s day this sunday the caption for this weekend is mother said __________ fill in the blank with your own phrase to get you started here are a couple of inspirational videos have fun posted by linsey carter at 9 52 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday may 8 2014 when you have nothing to say i made a commitment to post to this blog once a day this week i thought that it would not be a problem i had plenty going on and a lot of things to discuss well it is thursday and the best that i can do is write a post about how i can t write a post sure there are plenty of things that i could discuss today but most of those things still fall in the work in progress category i have my potential exhibit for sl11b i could go on about that for a few days but i am going to wait until after applications for exhibits close on may 20th to reveal the concept behind my exhibit i have destinations and designers in second life that i could discuss but i need to get some pictures taken before i post on those topics i have my studio that i could discuss but i still have no land to build it on so right now it is just a vision in my head of what might be coming i have that other big project that i am working on right now it is just a couple of drawings a lot of typed notes and a spreadsheet hopefully i will be able to make it more than that in a few days so now i have wasted a few minutes typing a blog post but saying nothing well at least i can say that i kept to my goal and posted one today posted by linsey carter at 9 55 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday may 7 2014 a night at the pen last night i ventured into bay city for the espresso yourself event at the pen this was the first time that i had made it i tried once before but got the time confused and arrived as it ended there was a good crowd there when i arrived i was late again but only 15 minutes this time the format was an open mic or text for some the topics were wide ranging from poetry readings to current and past second life events to a small preview of what was happening on the auditorium build for sl11b overall it was an interesting and informative event since this was my first time there i just sat and listened the next espresso yourself event is not until june maybe i will have something to say then who knows i might even make it on time posted by linsey carter at 10 29 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest older posts
