"Clouded" Judgement in SL? Fix Those Rezz Issues!

While Phoenix has steadily improved and eliminated its bugs since its release after the untimely demise of our beloved Emerald, "cloud" avis still seem to be an occasional issue. 

A clouded avatar does not have to mean a clouded SL future!

Worse yet, it seems that once you are a cloud in Phoenix, it can be difficult, if not impossible to fix.  I've watched people rebake, go into edit apearance, and literally log in and out after clearing cache and what not dozens of times with no resolution.

So is there a "fix" to this issue?

Yes!  If you are just unbearably clouded and nothing else has worked... it's time to resort to drastic measures.

So, as a Phoenix lover, you probably hate V2... but now is the time to download it.  Once it is on your computer, follow these steps:

1.  Log out of phoenix and log into the dreaded V2.
2.  Open your inventory and go to the "library" folder.  Once there, open the "clothing" folder, and then "initial outfits" folder.
3.  Choose ANY folder inside "initial outfits" and drop it onto your avatar.  This will revert you to a "noob" but you WILL rezz.
4.  Log back into phoenix and fix your poor avi. (Quick! Before anyone sees you!)

You've been "noobed!"  Quick! Fix it before anyone sees! (But at least you are not a cloud now...)

Now that you've resolved your "cloud" issue... it's time to move on to bigger and better things... like how to get your prim boobies to stay perky now that your avi is nearing its second rezz day... NEXT!!!

The Whirling Dervish Whirls into One Quarter French!

Saturday saw the grand opening of One Quarter French's eclectic club The Whirling Dervish with six hours of events and DJ's.  The theme was ANYTHING GOES!!! and the crowd certainly held up its end of the bargain with fabulous requests, a popping sploder (we had over 1,000L in that pot at one point!) and even a piano that was rezzed for a bit!  



Daytona steals Stav's DJ booth and LAUGHS!!! (We were laughing too!)



An impromptu piano rezzing by Cameron led to lots of fun moments as the crowd grew.



Tegan Emerald hosted and dedicated songs like "Eat It" to PC!







Asdababy and Angipanji share a dance in the club.





Wendy Helstein kicks it with the crowd!



MooCow didn't miss a beat... despite the fact that Bod is
DEFINITELY looking up her skirt!

DJs & Hosts Needed for One Quarter French

Would you like to be part of our staff?  Are you chatty and friendly?  Need to earn a few Linden or just want to hang out in a historical and hopping Sim?

New Orleans, One Quarter French is looking to hire DJs and Hosts in all times zones.  We have three fabulous venues with very different styles to cater to different tastes.  As part of our staff, you will be "Sim Managed" not "Venue Managed" and we expect you to be both flexible in working with everyone, and reliable as well.  If you say you will be here... be here!

Venues:

Le Baiser Rouge:  Sexy, bluesy, Jazzy.  Burlesque.  Think red lipstick, velvet, top hats and cigars.
Cafe du Monde: A historical coffee house with an outdoor "by the water" feel.  Lighted awning, cuddle bean-bags inside and a light-hearted atmosphere.
The Whirling Dervish: Eclectic and fun, this venue will feature a wide range of music styles, including dance, pop, rock, and much more!

As a DJ we expect you to arrive at least 10 minutes before your set, we would prefer you be willing to take guest requests, and you need to be friendly and open with both staff and guests.  Support your hosts and remember that you are part of the Sim and do not just "belong" to the venue.

As a host or hostess we expect you to arrive at least 10 minutes before your time slot. We want chatty friendly people who can actively support the DJ while engaging both the newcomer and regular in local conversation.  We want flirty and/or fun hosts who rely on local chat NOT GESTURES to keep the crowd engaged.  We want you to have fun, but do not spend your time hiding in your IM box.  You are here to engage, welcome, and entertain the crowd.  Remember that you are part of the Sim and do not just "belong" to the venue.

If you are interested in filling the role of either a DJ or host please contact a New Orleans, One Quarter French Owner for an application.

Cafe du Monde ~ Coffee and Chat at Night...



A glimpse of the Cafe Du Monders late Tuesday Night.



Ultimately... the Chip Butty dream was to create a place for our friends... a glimps of that could be seen Tuesday night as the crowd gathered at the Cafe Du Monde for a late night chat and some chicory.  Friends came and go... random teleports... some on voice and some on chat. 

For this blogger... I must admit... the Sim suddenly felt like "Home."

The little gathering fluctuated with the evening... but even Delvo showed, blind, bald, mute, and on iphone!

First day of Lent

Well readers today is the first day of lent, commonly known as Ash Wednesday. Lent is a period of 40 days that comes before Easter in the Christian calender. Lent for Christians is to replicate Jesus Christ's sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days.
One Quarter French houses the beautiful Basilica of St. Louis, King of France otherwise known as St. Louis Cathedral.

If you decided today you were giving up chocolate, cigarettes, booze or anything else you decided to quit until Holy Saturday; then please feel welcome to visit the cathedral and say a prayer or two. The cathedral is a Roman Catholic church but lent is generally observed by all Christian denominations.

All faiths are welcome in One Quarter French.

Opening Night!!! ~ Ooh La La!!! and Holy Cow!!!



DJ Stavros starts the celebration!



Le Baiser Rouge was THE place to be in Second Life tonight.  The three- hour party was headed up by DJ Stavros Jolbey at 12pm SLT followed by an amazing performance at 2 pm SLT by singer Gina Gracemount.



                     

                      It was simply... extraordinary!

Mr. and Mrs. Pirate Gutter enjoy a dance.

Not that this group of friends has ever done anything half-way... but the crowd was glittering, the stage was beautiful and the couples were swaying on the dance floor and it was MAGIC.



Me... I donned pasties and smoked a ciggy... something I would never do in Real Life.  Which is of course what made it all the more fun.

Daytona chases his tail onstage for the crowd!

Before Gina had even arrived for her show (and bless her for coming and spending her Birthday with us!!!) the sim had reached full capacity. 

We were all struggling with IMs from would-be Frenchies desperate to get on Sim for a twirl in the new club.

Gina Gracemount wows the crowd with her incredible voice.

Don't worry folks... we are not a fly by night act.  Join the group and keep informed.  This is just the beginning of everything to come...



Gina Gracemount and the Strumpets fill Le Baiser Rouge stage with light, glitter, music, and bubbles!!! Ooh la la!!!





Dana Luckless dons her Burlesque Best... ooh la la!!!
