Rosedrop “Rusty” Rust is celebrating 20 years in Second Life and invites everyone to join the party! A few words from the bio of a long-time SL creative:
“I went to a podcasting workshop and a podcaster named Eric he was involved in a game, with land and building and such. Not being the gamer sort, I was confused, but when they set up a screen in a conference room, I got a chance to see SL for the first time. …
“By this time I had begun recording and posting my podcast, ROSEDROP MEDIA CIRCUS (http://rosedropmedia.com/) in a local Portland nightclub, The Rose and Raindrop. It seemed as if I could get some new listeners and find out more about SL at the same time. Adam Curry had set up a place in SL where he was welcoming podcasters and I became one of many. …
“The idea of re-inventing my life the way I had always imagined it could be, was simply intoxicating. After responding to a request for musicians for the SL 3rd Birthday Celebration, I started performing in SL. I truly thought I would play for friends casually, but was asked to play more. The one thing I have known how to do in my life is to show up for gigs…
“I started writing unique creative show announcements for each of my shows in order to avoid the kind of self-promotion I found difficult and found them becoming an integral part of my performance ritual. I started saving those in October of 2007, and have collected over 1000 pieces representing well in excess of 1000 gigs since. …
“Second Life has been a dream, an education, a diversion, a tragedy, a strain, and a miracle.”
