Some of you may remember the great club known as Old Salt’s Pub. This club had to shut down some time ago. I can tell you that I’ve absolutely missed it. Old Salt’s Pub was owned and operated by CaveCub Milk and Hooper Peel at the Kokomo sim.

Well, some of the “old guard” as it were will be reconvening on a special “re-rez” day of Old Salts Pub on Sunday, 24 February, 2008 from noon to 7 p.m. SLT.

Here’s the lineup of performers:

noon - Snow Gretsky
12:30 - Stalkerwolf Breed
1:00 - Rich Desoto
1:30 - Luigi DiPrima
2:00 - Silas Scarborough
2:30 - Angel Stormwind
3:00 - Ricardo Sprocket
3:30 - Matthew Perreault
4:00 - Maximillion Kleene
4:30 - Kim Seifert
5:00 - Etherian Kamaboko
5:30 - Chronic Skronski
6:00 - Lyndon Heart
6:30 - Dann Numbers*

Many thanks to Kat Vargas for coordinating this event. She has advised us that many of the original hostesses will be on hand throughout the day to help us all relive the spirit of this club and the atmosphere there. Some of these include Kitten Fluffball, Jen Jensen and Evilynda Baphomet.

Kat advises that Haven Colville will be working with CaveCub and Hooper to rez Old Salts on his quad sim. This should give us the opportunity to have 100 or more people attend without major issue!

*(My only regret is that Dann was not able to follow my performance as we used to do in the past. We formed a great bond back then and had some hilarious times heckling and even encouraging each other during our performances.)

Some of you are probably wondering where I’ve been lately (and perhaps some of you haven’t even noticed. Hehehe).

I’ve found it necessary to limit the number of performances in Second Life in order to get some projects done. I’ve been working on my CD for over a year — and have absolutely discovered that my constant time in Second Life was a detriment to getting it finished. So… I’ve been taking some time to update my equipment, software, and instruments, as well as to learn some aspects of recording where I have NEVER focused any attention (midi, for one). It has been refreshing to spend some time working on the craft, so to speak.

However, I will do short runs of performances from time to time. This week I will be doing some shows at Club Wicked, the THON benefit Friday, and of course, Crazy Sharks. Remember, you can find my calendar at my promo site, richdesoto.com.

Also, while I’m thinking of it, don’t forget to visit my profile at thesixtyone.com. If you have a membership (free) there you can help bump the songs up to the front page!
