It Was a Dark and Mysterious Night!

You are sooo sorry you missed our Masquerade Thursday night! DJ Suzetta Moonites outdid herself finding Big Band music with a Halloween theme. With the spooky sounds drifting into the atmosphere, we even had a few disembodied spirits come to hear their old favorites!

Rumor has it Mr. and Mrs. Kelly Andel were the romantic couple in a quiet corner. I was also led to believe when Homer and Marge Simpson walked in that they are quite close to our own Don Hadezuma and his lovely Kat. I think I saw a little french coquette who went by the name of Fifi wink at our Avery a time or two. You know, some of her mannerisms reminded me of Paulette Oldrich. Sean Quendra was dancing nearby, so I'll have to see if he agrees. I'm pretty sure it was Sean because a very lovely brunette in a gorgeous plum colored gown who arrived a little later looked a lot like our manager Veronica Ogleby and she went right to him. Chance Paneer looked quite dashing and didn't seem at all unnerved by the very pale trio dancing by our stage. They claimed to be friends of MrShyGuy Schmooz, so we let them stay. Of course, since most were masked, we may never know if our assumptions are correct.

Without a doubt, a fantastic night.

Avery is enjoying his favorite Cafe Casablanca artist: JC Farstrider. Word is, he will come from the far reaches of the home to sit and listen to JC play his sax! (Nobody can ever say we discriminate against furries!)

(Thank you to Veronica Ogleby for the pic!)

Another month past at Cafe Casablanca

I will eventually get this blogging thing down - honest.

In the meantime, I have invited one of our performers to do a post. I hope to have regular posts from all our performers eventually, but I have to get the ball rolling with one, first.

I have also turned on comments. They are open to all at this point. We'll see if that lasts. I am assuming we will get the occasional ... problem comment. If it's occasional, I can deal with it. If it gets bad, I will have to put some restrictions on. You will have to do one of those captcha things to comment, though. (Please use your SL name to post if you're using the 'anonymous' feature for comments - that way we can say hi when you stop by.)

Our Big Band Night is going well, and moved to Thursday nights. (You're doing fantastic, Suzetta!) We are working other, appropriate DJ events. We wouldn't mind a few more instrumentalists (like the incomparable JC Farstrider). Hmmmm. Given the period of Casablanca and the big band themes... any clarinetists out there that want a shot at SLtardom?
Just to give a rundown of artists who performed this past week at Cafe Casablanca:

• Paulette Oldrich (2 shows)
• MrMikie String
  
• Alatiel Pessoa
• Mila Avedon
  
• JC Farstrider (2 shows)
• KB McAuley
• Annabel Trafalgar
• Glolo Ling
• theghost Melody (brand new!)
• RichardScott Barcelos
• DJ Suzetta Moonites

[Rick: Somehow, I forgot MrMikie String when I first put this list together.Sorry, Mikie!]

Oh, and I would like to thank Rick Irelund for stepping in last night, when we were having some difficulty getting our show going. He put in a half hour show while we worked things out, and sounded great.

We truly appreciate all our performers and all our patrons - you are both why we are here!
