My condolences and sympathy

Although i never knew Ginny personal i admired this person and was shocked when i read that he been taken to early from us. Last Call/Dazzle is my favorite shop. When i think of the shop Ginny automatically comes to mind. I wish i would have had the chance to meet the person who dressed me and a lot of other people and made them feel special.

I would like to give my condolences and my sympathy to everyone who has to deal with this sad loss.

Thank you Ginny for everything. I will miss you although i never knew you as a friend. :~(

The Opening

Yesterday finnaly the opening took place :) Was there early and an hour before opening i thought i better check the stream and Freestar was so kind to help me, thx girl :) Almost panicced as it didn't work lol. But a few minutes later it worked, freestar typed the password wrong ;)

My sis Jenilia was there early too. waiting with me and Freestar. Who was setting up her stuff. Seemed my Mic was to large lol. And i bought the smallest i could buy of that kind. Cylindrian would have needed a chair to get to it i think. But Freestar was so kind to let me borrow hers. And it was purplish, so it fitted well :)

Finnaly it all started. Freestar Tammas started to play and people were starting to pop up :)) Crap Mariner chose to ride the moon that night. Looked cool!

Freestar did a great job, the first person to play that stage! I'm proud it was her. Love her, although she tried to emberras me! And it worked lol. Silly billy. I'm also proud Unmasked Shepherd attended the opening. Love u sweety.

Then all the sudden i saw a giant backpack walk past me. I had to look twice and then saw Cylindrian Rutabaga was attached to it. Yes the great Cylindrian :) So proud she was playing that night. And got to say see did a super show. i felt like "wow". Even the sim got maxed! I think my neighbours won't like me anymore hehe. My good friends Dewran, Helen and Audri showed up too. Was so happy.

After Cylindrian it was time for JueL Resistance to show her music skill and she was superb. 15 minutes into her show the thing happened that is a must for an opening....the sim crashed :) It probably was maxed to long lol. After the crash most came back and continued the concert!

JueL finished her great performance and it was Charles Coleman to take the stage next. And he took it well! Was a great performance! He is a great person too, never really talked with him before. Also was honored Queen May Rosebud, Sir Ren Stonecutter and Cyl's mom showed up during his gig :) And as his gig ended the event ended. It was great!

Would like to thank everyone that attended and the great great artists! Was super! Wahooooo. cyas next time! :)

The Stage

Yes, yes i'm still alive. Busy bee still here. Hope 1 more week and work be normal again.

I have decided to do an opening for my land. This would be celebrated with live music ofcourse :) I looked around for a stage to place on my land and then thought by myself: "Claudia, u weird woman, why not make one yourself". And so i did. And as result i got a purplish-black thing on my land now haha.

I changed the name of land to The Esplanade, with thx to Dew. Paved land at the sea it means i got told. The opening i planned at the 28th, more info will follow soon. One more artist to get :)
