Welcome to the German Sailing Community

Wilkommen!! to the German Ship Rats!

Our dear friend and long time resident Jeremia Spotter has purchased the lovely tropical island of Tiga as a home position for the German SL Sailing community called the Schiffsratten.

The Ships Rats have been involved in sailing in the Sailors Cove/USS Sims and Jeremia tells us that "during the last weeks and month more and more of us found their 'home waters' here on the USS-sims and feel as a part of them. A lot of us have fun to take part on regatta's on plum gut or manning, or sailing the zinnemann ladder."

Theater is Ready for Reopening!

Hello from Sesi Ackland! As Jojamela mentioned in the previous post I have recently taken over the theater at Sailors Cove. I've been involved in Second Life music from every angle as the rl and sl wife of SL musician, Winston Ackland. I am the manager of Winston and Linus Radford in Second Life and have helped organize and plan several large charity events, weekend long music festivals and other events in SL. Stepping up as venue manager was a natural progression and I couldn't imagine a better stage to manage then Sailors Cove.

Sailors Cove has always been a very well known and respected stage within Second Life's music community and when Jojamela's plans to find a new manager became public, I immediately volunteered. The idea of Sailors stage suffering and/or eventually disappearing like so many wonderful stages do in SL was a sad one. I am honored to step up and take over, my goal is to do everything I can to maintain Sailor Cove's position as one of the finest stages in SL.

I look forward to returning the venue into a busy place and I am well under way, our first show is Monday August 11th, 12pm slt. Very little will change at Sailors Cove, there simply is no need. A few of the regular musicians will return but of course there will be new faces and talent as well. I suspect that within a few weeks, the stage will be alive and kicking.

This fall I am planning a few bigger events, including Art in Park, a fall festival with two of the most talented and popular artists in Second Life and of course, live music.

Please follow the calendar and notices for updates on all the Sailors Cove Theater events.

Sailors Cove Theater New Manager

I'm very pleased to announce that Sesi Ackland has agreed to assume the role of Sailors Cove Theater Manager. Many of you know that I've had some RL issues that have prevented me from being inworld much these days, especially the month of July where I took a holiday.

RL continues to interfere in my SL endeavors and Sesi has volunteered to step up to the podium and take over management. Sesi will be the contact person for scheduling musicians and events at the Theater property.

The theater is changing to a tips only venue, so your continued wonderful support of Live Music in SL is very much appreciated. Be sure and check the calendar for upcoming shows and come enjoy the best live music that SL has to offer.

Jamm for Genes at SC theater was a great success

Jamm for Genes went off as planned on Friday Aug 1 with few changes in the lineup of live artists for the 24 hours as planned and ended up stretching to 26 hours in total with a grand total amount of $612,482Lindens raised. Jamm for Genes SL 2008 is now officially over however if you would like to donate to Jamm for Genes which is still going on in the real world as of this posting you can go to the Jeans for Genes website
