Well, as most of you have probably already heard, the Lavender Field for Feed a Smile went POOF on Monday – very surprisingly and totally without warning. I’m still in shock... Obviously there was a management/owner issue and OT Rentals closed down all of their sims – including the lovely and one-of-a-kind venue of Feed a Smile’s good friends at The Colour Factory. How sad is that...?! Well, it may have set us back pretty badly seeing as the sim was a donation – but we are very grateful to OT Rentals for the more than 2 years of kind and generous support.
We are searching for a new mainland sim donation.
We get up to 100 avatars visiting our events, so we need to be ready for them in a lag-free atmosphere... So please keep your ears and eyes open for us – and in case you happen to have a sim that needs a Lavender Field.... We need a new home for our wilting lavender ...
They don’t call me Brique for nothing! My mama always said “There she goes again putting her stubborn head through a brick wall” - which is how I got my nickname. I don’t give up so easily – and especially not with all of the wonderful SL friends supporting the cause! I’ve had many offers to use people’s land and venues for events until we have our own home again. Tiia from l’Esprit – whose tip jars are hooked right up to the Feed a Smile account – will be holding most of the events at her beautiful venue:

Yesterday’s fabulous event with Lisa Brune, Maximillion Kleen and FunkyFreddy Republic triple-streaming was held at the awesome Portland Family venue – Tree of Lovers. It took in 266 meals. Marb and Tigger have offered the use of their spectacular venues with the words “We’re just an IM away!”. So thank you – asante sana – and kudos to all who have offered their assistance and support over the past 4 days. We still have a long road to the next Lavender Field – but we’ll get there.
In the meantime....
The one and only Twin Ghost Ronas and Quantamis Navarathna will be performing at l’Esprit for Feed a Smile on Friday the 28th – starting at 3PM slt.
... a highlight to be sure!

Mama Mia - What a special treat at the Lavender Field today... The ABBA Band will be performing all of those favorite songs of yours. So, get out your dancing shoes – jump on over to the Lavender Field to where The ABBA Band has their very own stage set up – and sing along as they take you on a trip back to Memory Lane.
The lovely Putri Solo will be following The ABBA Band on the main stage. If you haven’t heard Putri yet, then it’s time. She has the kind of crystal clear and lovely voice that you can never get enough of.
Have a listen:
I’m really looking forward to greeting you at the Lavender Field – so, come on over and be a part of it all – Feed a Smile.
Laters!

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...

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:

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!
