http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygEEdzLc74E
Just another day on the Free Bird/Pixel Bean sim :)

Ok, so Chris and I went to the beach last night and forgot to change outa our swimsuits when tp-ing to FB today. Maribel was there and felt left out, so she changed to her swimsuit and started dancing. I was like...hells yeah! Let's dance! So as people arrived they followed suit. Before long I was rezzing floaties and a kiddie pool and it was a full-blown party!





Here's some shots of the badass party peeps! Holla!

Hours later and we're still partying!

Mulder's Impromptu Appearance

Last night, Free Bird had one of it's classic impromptu musician appearances. Actually, there were 3 impromptu performances. First, Voodoo Shilton played some relaxing tunes on his classical guitar as Michael Langway sang along. Then a special performance from Ape who played some ukulele as she sang a Kate Nash song, and later that night Mulder Watts appeared for what seemed like just a friendly chat. Little did us Free Birders know, we were in the presence of an incredibly talented musician who writes and performs fantastic music-- and they're originals!!! I took a couple of shots of the night because I wanted to remember this night forever. Once Mulder hopped on the stream, the next hour was magical music to our ears. If you were there, I'm glad you could enjoy this impromptu session. If you weren't, never fear. I talked to Voodoo and Mulder and they've both agreed to become Free Bird house musicians that perform once or twice a month and they have full access to the stream in case they want to do more impromptu performances! Stop by anytime, you just might catch them!

Free Bird Merge

Free Bird has moved!!!

A few weeks ago I escaped to a little coffee shop called the Pixel Bean. I loved the look and detail of the place and I made it my refuge away from the craziness of SL. One day while I was there, I met the owner, Harlow. She and I hit it off really well and we loved each others' places. She recently revamped her place and told me about an old abandoned boat house at the end of the dock. I checked it out. It needed some TLC, but it had a great feel to it. I packed my things, and spruced up the place. I hope you will like the new change and come visit. I'm excited to work with Harlow I think together we will make a pretty hoppin' spot (not that she didn't have that already. lol). Here's some pics of the places you can hang out:

The brand new dock! Pixel Bean and Free Bird share this dock for live music, parties, and big events. Since the two hangouts coordinate and work the events together, the genius of Harlow Heslop deemed this spot "The Bird and the Bean." *snickers*
This is the entrance to the new Pixel Bean building on top of the hill at the sim. Here you can stop in for coffee, relaxing music, and a calm environment of casual conversation with great people.
The Pixel Bean has many cozy spots to relax. Harlow and I are taking a little siesta in the PB loft.
It's still too early! *yawns* Here I'm grabbing some chai at the PB coffee bar.
The sim looks so nice at night. In this picture you can see the attic of Free Bird in the front, the cove and the giant tree below, and in the background you can see the dock and PB up above. The moon was so pretty that night. :)
Downstairs at the new Free Bird location you can enjoy some ale, wine, or rum while you hang around and chat with friends in the authentic and cozy old dock house.
Upstairs in the Free Bird attic there are many comfy spots to choose from and a Greedy game board so you can entertain while gettin' your lounge on.
Harlow, I want to thank you for being so supportive and just awesome in general. You have been a great friend to both me and Free Bird and I couldn't have done this without you. You are wonderful and that's why you win the hearts of everyone you meet. *hug*. Muuaahh!
