My Life As A Night Elf PriestThis Sunday 6pm slt on Tonight Live. This years Second Life Community Convention is being held in Boston USA in August, weekend of the 13th to the 15th. Unfortunately I won't be going this year, like a lot of others, times are tough this year. But I'd love to be going, last years SLCC in San Francisco holds some very very fond memories for me. It was by far one of the most exiting and fun holidays I've ever had. Meeting people I'd met briefly in second Life and feeling as if I had cemented firm friendships. Having so many people with such a strong bond of a love of virtual reality was incredible. This Sunday we talk to one of the organisers of SLCC this year who was also involved last year, Rhiannon Chatnoir will tell us what to expect this year both at Boston and in world.
We also meet Sojurn Rossini Second Life Musician. Sojurn is very private about his music and his private life there is not much known about him and what propels him to express himself through live music in real life and in Second Life. So it will be interesting to find out what inspires him and what he gets out of appearing in Second Life.
SLCCWorld Of Warcraft has been in the news this week, because of Blizzard's decision to enforce real life identities on the official World Of Warcraft forums. This has people in Second Life looking over their shoulders, wondering if this is the start of a trend. This week on Tonight Live we will meet Bonnie Nardi or Bonnie Lefavre as she is in Second Life, who is the Author of a book released last month concerning her experiences inside World of Warcraft called “My Life As A Night Elf Priest”. Bonnie Trained as Anthropologist and now Studies how people use Technology and how it transforms human life. Bonnie entered WOW to support a class she was teaching at university. Never being a gamer she was astounded at what she discovered in WOW and subsequently found she was a huge fan, and wanted everyone else to know about what goes on in WOW. What did she discover about human nature in the game? I have a list of about 30 questions....I won't get thru them all but I find it a fascinating subject. If you're a player come to the studio in your role playing WOW gear! we'd love to see you.
Great Start Texas :) To get an opportunity to appear on Tonight Live please send a notecard or press release to my P.A Bliss Windlow in SL in notecard form or via email at blisswindlow@hotmail.com Outline what the subject is why we should have them on, and a website link if there is one. We book our shows about 6 weeks out, will occasionally rearrange our schedule if there is something important that we must highlight, so give us plenty of time if the subject of the story is tied to a date. We have had a large amount of our guests from press releases or just a simple lead to a great story this way. I also follow twitter leads, facebook leads, and I read and follow a lot of blogs also. We are definitely open to all stories. We choose stories on suitability to our show, timelines, and interest to our viewers. If you are trying to sell something...probably best to ask for sponsorship we are also very interested in that!
regards Paisley
