'AvaDudes' protest targets AvaStar!


MORE MEN DEMAND
'AvaDudes' protest targets AvaStar!
By: Leider Stepanov & Isolde Flamand

BEING featured as the AvaStar of the Week is one of Second Life's greatest honours.

UNCONVINCING LADIES: The 'AvaDudes' from left to right - Johnnie Mohr, Crap Mariner, Silas Scarborough and Doubledown Tandino demand justice at AvaStar IslandBut for four desperate dudes, it was all too much watching a succession of beautiful women grace the back page of Second Life's best-loved newspaper. Doubledown Tandino, Silas Scarborough, Crap Mariner and Johnnie Mohr decided to take action, and donned blouses, skirts and protest signs and headed for AvaStar Island to complain.

Popular DJ Doubledown, who wore a denim miniskirt and see-through blouse, revealed the demo was part of a larger movement sweeping the grid: "I just showed up at the AvaStar offices as I usually do to beg and to try to make it as AvaStar of the Week. I've been secretly dressing as a woman in the hopes that I would one day make it.

Time for action

"But as I was hanging there week after week, I noticed there were other ladies trying to catch their big break too. Soon, I began to realise that many of these other 'ladies' were in fact... other gentlemen, disguised as women trying to make it into the Avastar. We decided it was time to take action!

"We believe we have all of the qualities of the AvaStar of the Week women and we just want to be counted! Just because we may be more masculine, have bulges in different places, and well, mostly look like dudes, we still deserve the equal chance!"

Judging from the picture, the 'girls' may be waiting a while before they are given the nod by AvaStar bigwigs.

• Do you think the boys have a point? Should one of them become AvaStar of the Week? Let us know at newsdesk(at)the-avastar.com.

The 3rd Annual SL Combat Expo will be held on Armory Island from May 17-19, 2008. The event will take place within the virtual world of Second Life, and is open to all residents of Second Life.

More Politics on The SL DJ and Club Blog

From time to time on this blog, I post about politics. True, it has nothing to do with Second Life, DJs, Music, or anything...... however, many many DJs, clubbers, musicians, and generally SLers seem to be out of the loop of American politics (which should be something of importance to the world.... meaning, if McCain wins, there will be a horrible future for the world... if Obama wins, the world will continue towards a positive path). I try not to veer this blog in oddball directions, however, it's important to me, for the SL scene to take notice:

1) Vote for Obama
2) Watch "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report"
3) Watch MSNBC and read REUTERS for factual world news. (CNN & BBC are also reliable news sources,just less pertaining to politics)
4) Do NOT watch Fox Noise Channel
4a)Bill O'Reilly is an idiot
4b)Sean Hannity is an idiot
4c) Rush Limbaugh is draft dodging, drug addict (painkillers), a laugh riot, and is PAID by Republics to spew their shit out over the radio.
6) Rupert Murdoch is aiding terrorists and owns 68% of the media since G.W. Bush allowed all of the media to be controlled by one person. (added note: Murdoch just purchased Wall Street... so now he owns the media & the stock exchanges. Bill Gates couldn't even wear Rupert Murdoch's jock strap.)

And now, on with a video:

Fox Noise Channel - At it Again

Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox Noise is a lying jackass and is damaging humanity with false news that is broadcast nationally and internationally. 110% of the time Fox Noise is lying, so anything they report on Fox Noise is NOT TRUTH. Fox Noise is fictional news designed to make rich white conservatives richer.

EDIT: those bitches on Fox Noise can't even get their embed video code right....
here's the link to the video.

I think the funniest line in the video: "You, as the participant can CHOOSE to get raped"

Questions and Requests to the DJ & Club Community in SL


I have recently relocated to The SL Music Community Info Island. Although I am not officially open (opening info to be posted soon), I have 3 initial things:


1) Question: What RL DJ/Music Producer would you like to see/hear perform live into Second Life? ( Please keep it realistic. Don't say Tiesto. ) Please reply in comments with some of the DJs in RL you would love to hear in SL. Please DO NOT reply with "hey I can get you DJ such and such, you want him?" I am looking for serveral options, not agents looking to get money. I am looking for various options of RL DJs that we as a SL clubscene would like to hear in SL live.


2) Request: Prior to opening my new shop location, I have Club and DJ ad spaces available. I want these spaces filled PRIOR to opening. SO, any DJs, Clubs, Events, and Promoters, get over to the new RAVELONG LOCATION now, and get the best space. FREE rentals prior to opening! Just pay the space and I will refund you.

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Tivona/80/60/25


3) Please begin to focus your attention to these main groups in Second Life regarding SL DJ, Electronic Music, and Live Music:

a) "Live Turntable DJs" - For Live Turntable DJs, Electronic Music Producers, Beatmatchers, Event Promoters, and the fans that want to stay informed


b) "Live DJ's" - For Playlist DJs, MP3 DJs, Request DJs, Talk DJs, Mix DJs, and the fans that want to stay informed


c) "Electronic Music Informer" - For electronic music producers, and the promotion to fans of electronic music in SL


d) "Live Music Enthusiasts" - For Live Musicians, Live Singers, and the promotion of Live Music in SL


e) "Independant Musicians" - For Independant RL and SL musicians and singers, and the promotion of music to fans.


---There are many wonderful groups in SL that are geared to more specific clubs, djs, and styles of music, anytime you find someone interesting, make sure to check their profile for the groups they belong to. You'll find some interesting niches too. HOWEVER!!!! We also need to encourage people to STOP creating more groups with the same function and same people. We do NOT need any more overall general DJ promo groups, we do not need any more groups about Electronic music. ... I'll say again that niche groups are excellent.... but trying to start another "ALL DJs join this group" group is not needed.

Thank You
Doubledown Tandino.

Raw Leiba Stars in Grand Theft Auto for Nintendo!


One of my best buddies in the world, Raw Leiba , sent me this spoof he starred in. He's the ripped dude with the gun. He and I go way back to working on a project in New Jersey together, and we've been great friends ever since. He's working on an upcoming movie , plus is going to be "Tomahawk" in Season 2 of American Gladiators. Anyway, this is such an awesome video for us gamers. Enjoy.

Also, he previous starred as Balrog (ep. 4 thru 8) in the web series Street Fighter - The Later Years . He has the best line EVER: "If you pause it right there, you can see Chung Li's underwear"
