ANOTHER DAY FILLED WITH SMILES!

Well, here’s to the start of another awesome weekend... I don’t think I’ll even be able to get up for a food stop during the 6 hours of some of the most awesome music that Second Life has to offer on Saturday!
Starting at 12 noon with the fabulous Virtual Live Band, the main stage will be filled with musicians from around the world steaming in to the Lavender Field and for your enjoyment. By the way, the VLB performs around the grid – and always for Feed a Smile! They don’t even put out their own tip jar at concerts – just the one to feed smiles in Kenya. How awesome is that?!
Thanks to Malia Gustafson, owner of “LightNing StrikeS” The Blue's Brothers tribute band will be performing some awesome music. They want to know are you if you are ready to "Gimmie Some Lovin"! If you are, then come come down and "Shake a Tailfeather" with us as we do the "Jailhouse rock". Just remember "Everybody needs somebody to love", so grab your "Soul Man" or your sweet woman and let us "Groove you". “LightNing StrikeS” is a tribute band that is dedicated to bringing you some of the best live music on sl. They have a large selection of bands and would love to bring live music to your sim or club. So, come and experience The Blue’s Brothers and remember Malia Gustafson for bookings and a list of her bands. (whispers: hope we can get more of them at the Lavender Field...).
Eric Steffensen Mistwalker, Russell Eponym, DennyMac and Nick99 Razor are so well-known that you don’t even have to think about coming or not. They are truly excellent musicians who will – once again – be giving their all to collect smiles for the kids in Nakuru, Kenya. If by chance you don’t know them yet, you can check them out here – and if you do know them, you can have a listen to quicken your hearts and get your ears ready for an event that you won’t forget too quickly...

WE HIT THE 7.5 MILLION LINDENS MARK YESTERDAY! HOW COOL IS THAT?!!

During Youngsta, Oopsee and Moni’s super 3-day event we hit the 7.5 million Lindens donated mark last night! That means a lot of smiles fed and a lot of smiles to be fed :) I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you – merci – danke – asante sana – to all of those wonderful and talented musicians, venue owners and friends who donate their time and energy to help provide these meals to the kids in Nakuru. They are truly blessed to have these wonderful people – and their fans - supporting them in this very special way.

Samm Qendra, Hellig Melson and Ren Enberg will be gracing our stage at the Lavender Field today – starting at 1PM.

Please join us for this lovely event with an atmosphere of loving and caring – and doing good and having a good time doing it! You can have a listen here:

WHAT A NIGHT IT WAS – AND WHAT A WEEKEND IT’S GOING TO BE

Well, that was an experience.... If you weren’t there, you should have been – everyone else was... :) Mash, Twostep, Rara and Avant really had the crowd roaring – and donating meals!. 64 people joined us for the event and enough meals were donated to feed all of the 417 children on the Live and Learn in Kenya Int’l program for a day. Twostep performed his Feed a Smile song “High Time” - which got the donation box ringing. What fantastic musicians and fans...

Youngsta’s getting things going again!

Youngsta Tremmor is on a mission to get as many kids as possible fed – and she’s doing the Youngsta thing again this weekend. Three days of music, dancing, fun and meeting people await you on Moni’s Island on Saturday and Monday - and at the Lavender Field on Sunday.

DJs and Live Performers go hand in hand during these three awesome days of music. Don’t miss being a part of it all!

The event begins at 2PM. “All we need is love” and some Linden love for the kids in Kenya. Come join us and have a great time getting some kids in Kenya fed...

LET'S GET SOME KIDS FED AND HAVE A GREAT TIME DOING IT!

Wow – what a lineup today (and Thursday, but I’m not letting you in on that yet...)! The amazing Scofi Robson will be taking the stage at 1PM, followed by the just as amazing in female form, Lisa Brune. If you haven’t heard them yet – well where the heck have you been??? :)
If we’re really lucky – and I hope we will be – Funkyfreddy will jump on stage before Lisa gets off for a dual stream. They are awesome alone – but together... SUPER! Last but definitely not least, OneSummer Oh will be the last up taking the stage for her last concert for a couple of RL months. So, this event is very special in so many ways. I certainly wouldn’t want to miss it – but then again, I certainly won’t !

Another donation board has been placed at Acoustic Cave, on the Aisle of Azariah. It is a two-story live music venue which includes a main event floor, stage, bar, and dance area and a bar, greedy tables, games, and secluded dance areas on the second floor. Set in an old refurbished warehouse it is the perfect atmosphere for couples or singles! They have a great line-up of excellent live SL performers.

SLUR: Isle of Azariah 199/401/22.

The very friendly owners – Brandi and Max- and their staff is on hand to answer questions and make your experience as pleasant as possible. They have to be friendly and generous people to have a donation board up at their club :)

Stay tuned for the next blog all about the awesome, awesome event on Thursday – and then and entire 3-day weekend of hours and hours of Feed a Smile music events!

Sunshine and Smiles!

After setting up the donation board at Wharf Café and Beach Venue, Jensmith introduced me to her friends at the Wild Girls MC sim.
Wow, I’d never seen anything like it before. Jump on your motorcycle and race along the tracks on the Barefoot Pass.

Then have a good time at the The Wild Girl’s. I was fascinated with the landscaping and the lovely women running the sim, Leela Juventa and Pat Footpad.

GREAT EVENT COMING UP TODAY

Well, you won't want to miss this event. Two of our dear friends and constant supporters - Rock Doghouse and Mike Carnell - will be performing their awesome music AND we have two premiers at the Lavender Field today as well. Mick Morpork is certainly well-known in SL, so you probably know what's coming - but SwedyBird is a newcomer to the SL music scene. She's a northern Californian living in Sweden with a voice to swoon you... So come on over and enjoy the music and BE a difference!

ANOTHER VENUE IS RAISING FUNDS TO FEED THE KIDS

During a very, very good concert featuring our dear friend, Laura Savio, at the Wharf Café and Beach Venue I spoke to the venue owner - Jensmith - about the possibility of setting up a donation board for Feed a Smile - and she agreed right away. So, when you're not at the Lavender Field - then jump on over to Wharf Café and Beach Venue and enjoy the music and people and friendly management!

Have a fabulous weekend everyone and don't forget to smile.

Hugs and Smiles!
Brique
