1st Life Part 2 I have a Living Donor

First let me say that this fortunate event about to happen to me in no way changes my opinion or passions stated in 1st Life Post a few weeks ago.    Not much time so I must keep it short, wanted to tell those of you who hadn’t heard..A few weeks ago I found out about got into a program like this  (with my Brother who wanted to Donor but is not a match for me) http://transplants.ucla.edu/body.cfm?id=112&oTopID=34 .  If you take a quick look youll understand how it works.  Basically my Brother will be exchange kidney with a match for me and be giving his to a patient who also has a donor that  doesn’t match them  but matches me.   All 4 matches and agreement and arrangements t0 exchange were made this past Tuesday the 17th ! So I have a  high  match type Donor.  Monday is surgery.

In  a little while I will get to meet this “Living Donor” and thank her beforehand for what she is doing.. for me and her loved one.   I cant imagine the emotions were all going to feel.. I’m overwhelmed thinking about it now. :-)  I have 6 family members with  me now and I’m ready for this.. My brother says No big deal for him just a little slice  here and there and hes done.  I could be there 3 days or 3 weeks.. dont know yet.. but hope my body doesnt reject and its not  too long .  Tracey made a twitter update thing cause I was asking her to use mine to update you  guys and she didnt want to so here it is.. DWkidneyupdate.  I hope she doesnt tweet you  too much. :-)

Oh and one last thing.. if for some reason it goes horribly wrong like accidental giving me too much anesthesia or whatever and I don’t come back.  You know who you are..  I love and cherish my closest friends  and colleuges in SL.   Keep doing what you do best  and don’t forget to have fun doing it.  :-) And Paisley I still want to be on TL to talk about Live n Kickin!  Yep Ill be back  I have many missions including more Donor awareness  to complete still.  http://delindasdiary.wordpress.com/2009/10/21/1st-life/

Bye Bye for now  Peace, Huggs  and Keep Smiling

If you decide to comment .. I may or may not be around( internet  have in some parts of hospital )to get them thru right away so wont show till I get back to internet.

Like a funkified psychedelic Woody Guthrie, Dexter Moore certainly put the mileage behind him as he spent his early years hitching and busking around the world. As one of his self-portrait lyrics portrays in a tribute to Jack Kerouac ‘Desolation angel, just a dharma bum, Lonesome traveler on the road’ This is a seasoned traveler whose only inspiration was to live the artists way and to keep the music real.  ’Amazing virtuosity’ London Times. Along the way Dexter found the time to learn the arts of sound engineering and record production. Producing a ..1 hit in the process. But it is in his songwriting that he truly captures hearts.

Hes shared the bill with artists  like AC/DC, Crowded House and the plethora of other Australian greats now Dexter Ihnen Morph comes to Live n Kickin to share a performance with you.  Not just your everyday performance either.. Dexter has assembled a Second Life team of 10 including Special Effects Tech, Choreographer and of course the “Dexcellorator Dancers!”  For more about Dexter you can read an interview I did several months ago with  him on Second Life Newspaper here.

And the venue!  The Turquoise Planet on his new Sim  in Dexter’s words..”Immersive Retro-Futuristic Multi-Media Venue

Metropolis returns for limited engagement

metrop 1As far as I  know so far the biggest project of its kind ever done on SL, it took months of working, building,creating, rehearsing and animating.  I understand it was Debbie Trillling’s idea  to do a re-make of  METROPOLIS the first science fiction movie made in 1927 by Fritz Lang, Velazquez Bonetto and Josina Burgess and NMC CARP TEAM joined Debbie to bring it to Second Life.

Above is a clip of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis  you will be amazed at how true to the film the Second Life producers have been at the same time using the advantages of Second life to script in seating which takes you thru the set in ways that would hardly be possible in RL

I don’t know how long the show will run this time ( maybe check comments Ill try and get one of them to fill in)  but I can tell you video doesn’t do it justice  its  must see in Second Life.  metrop3 edit

Plays again at 2PM SLT (PST)  Sunday Nov 15th, 09

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Benvolio/64/77/22

Limited seating so be early you must have one!

They don’t charge to attend but they do accept donations.

Frogg and Jaycatt revisit The Lily Pad on Live n Kickin

Thanks to owner Drift Monde, Frogg Marlowe played his first gig in SL at The Lily Pad Lounge over four years ago. Soon after he began playing with Jaycatt Nico and together they’ve become a Music Icon in SL. Thier shows are extremely popular, and as well as having a large loyal fan base, they entertain and delight the live music lovers of Second Life, playing just about every weekend. Frogg and Jaycatt’s notoriety in SL has not escaped the attention of the music industry and to date they have been interviewed by, amongst others, Rolling Stone Magazine and MTV.   Check out more and their new solo CD’s here.

The Lily Pad Lounge is the oldest live music venue in SL in its 4th year of operation at the same location. At Live n Kickin we thought it would be the best place to film “Frogg and Jay” who by their looks alone have inspired this weeks theme..  ”Cute Cartoon”  avatar if you like. Whatever you decide we just ask you keep it “PG”  youll be on Treet TV and if you cant come into SL and be at the gig you can still watch it live by clicking here.

With their great original music and humor mixed into their sets,  along with their own story being part of The Lily Pad’s History its sure to be a great show!

1st life

Some of you already know this but for those  of you who dont.. I started on  dialysis on May 4 this year after being diagnosed with with a gentic birth defect that has caused my kidneys to fail.  right now my kidneys are in “acute renal failure”  which means  I can only live with Dailysis 3 times a week or a transplant.  Im on the national list and IM ready for that.  Until now Ive always felt personal health issues should be guarded privately.  Please  don’t take it personally if i haven’t told you as freind already about this..  Ive been learning to deal with it..and havent always wanted to bring it up in sl chats.  I hope you understand.

Some of you already know this but for those  of you who dont.. I started on  dialysis on May 4, 2009 after being diagnosed with a genetic birth defect that has caused my kidneys to fail.  Right now my kidneys are in “acute renal failure”  which means  I can only live with dialysis 3 times a week or a transplant.  Of the few living family members that I have no one can help right now so I’m on the national list in line to receive a transplant.  Until now Ive always felt personal health issues should be guarded privately.

Please  don’t take it personally if you a friend and I haven’t already told about this.  I’ve been learning to deal with it and have found it difficult for me to talk about at times.  I hope you understand. I do want to make it clear that I am not in any way soliciting for someone to sell or donate a kidney to me. I just want to create awareness and find out peoples opinion on the specific subject outlined in this video.. please watch it and let me know what you think.

I decided to break my silence in sl about my health condition because for obvious reasons im passionate about the idea in Reason TV’s video.  I really don’t want to have to live another 8 years like this.  Unless I get a miracle donor,  this is how its looking now for me on the list.  And for people in the US going on that list NOW its even longer.  The rate of kidney failure  is growing exponentially.  And it really has become a crisis for me and thousands of others.  To help create awareness  Machinmatographer  Chantal Harvey has graciously agreed to help me make  a film  from Second Life on the subject and I am open to any and all suggestions.

Thank you for listening,

D.

Live n Kickin Oct 20 With Phemie Alcott

phemieJoin Live N Kickin  while  Phemie Alcott graces her own stage for a live  Televised Performance.  Phemie has an Enchanting voice which perfectly fits her music, a wonderful fusion of Indie and folk. She has been performing consistently in SecondLive for almost two years now and even has a venue of her own, the Firefly Café  here is what she had to say about it “The Firefly venue is a haven for original songwriters however we do allow covers but the emphasis is on originals. It is a warm environment that is great for relaxing and just listening to great music. I opened it a year ago on my own but just recently added Mimi Carpenter as an owner. We are hoping to continue a great tradition of live music. The emphasis is also on the Best of SL showcasing the top songwriters and voices of the grid. We are selective about who plays there which results in always a high quality show” She was recently featured on Tonight Live with Paisley Beebe    Paisley’s Interview with her  here.

Your invited to Come see her and her original and haunting live performance Tuesday at 9PM SL!  No theme this week  were just going for an after noon picnic by the lake!

Crap Mariner of Tunes in SL wll be there  to  raffle off some of Phemie’s  music too!

Congrats to last weeks winner  Elliott Eldrich! We hope you enjoy that Rosedrop Rust  Collection
