Via inSL note:
Live performance is Second Life is one of my passions, and if you are reading this notecard it's probably important to you too. And that's why we need your help.
Linden Lab has asked the live performance community for our suggestions, ideas, complaints and genius bits about how to improve the overall experience for everyone - from performers to venue owners and event planners to residents.
As part of the SLCC Music Track, we will be having a discussion
Saturday at 3PM SL/PDT
on the panel: Looking to the Future of Live Performance in SL with Colossus Linden.
You can help make that track powerfully meaningful- just add your ideas and insights using the embedded form found here:
http://bit.ly/SLCCideas
Everyone's input will be collected, we'll organize the information, and we'll talk about as much as we possibly can at SLCC. We'll also make sure that the information is accessible to anyone that is interested.
Please spread the word and thanks in advance.
If you have questions, just drop me a note.
Peace ~ Grace Mcdunnough

Doubledown's Decision regarding SLCC & Phreak Radio - updated
Here's what I've decided to do:
I, Doubledown Tandino, ain't gonna go livin' by no contracts no mo'.
I had agreed to play the SLCC, and now, apparently I have not agreed to play yet because I have not signed the contract. Do I even need to tell anyone I'm dropping out of performing at the SLCC, because I'm not even 'in' yet to drop out. But... yeah.... here's what I'm gonna tell them.
I may, or may not show up at the SLCC. Don't plan for me to be there. I may come to Chicago, I may come to SLCC, and I may just perform somewhere else in the great city. So, please take me off the lineup of performers and the lineup of the social/music panel, but if I am there, I'd be happy to DJ some music for Stroker's party, & I'd be happy to get up on stage and talk about music and the dj scene in SL.... but I'm not going to sign any contract to do that... and I'm not going to sue Phreak Media, no matter what they do.
In all honestly, I am still in support of SLCC, I am in full support of Nethermind, Flipper, Nexius; I think of them as good people and I'm glad someone is taking it on to try to create a SLCC. It's haaard work putting together a convention, and you learn from mistakes. My own professional real life event production experience includes creating over 3000 events. I took at an attempt at creating one convention once ....and failed. But we live and learn. The SLCC creators surely realize a convention like this takes professionals that do convention production as their profession. That is needed along side with the people who have the ideals of the event (nether, flip, etc). Conventions are hard to pull off right. And I applaud the effort. But.. at this point, I just am not at a place in my life where I want to tie myself to the SLCC. Maybe I will come, maybe I will DJ if you want me to, maybe I'll throw a party in my hotel room, who knows, I have to trust my gut... I just don't wanna feel stressed. And I don't want to be committed to anything but my girlfriend and moving to Florida. Its the SUMMER OF DOUBLEDOWN!!! WOOOO

http://blogs.talksecondlife.com/slimwarrior/2007/07/02/contract-ha-dont-sign-it/
This is in regards to a contract recently sent out to the musicians scheduled to perform at the Second Life Community Convention (SLCC 2007).
I commend Slim Warrior for bringing this issue up immediately in her blog. All of the musicians have been commenting there, so feel free to leave a "yeah that sucks" comment here, but leave your important comments for her blog.
Slim Warrior:
"It seems I am not one of lifes natural bloggers.. or maybe it is just because one blogs when one is inspired enough to do so, (or has time)
These times happen when perhaps happy, downright outraged or mostly general chit chat.. This particular post falls somewhere between sheer horror and outrage and also perhaps under the ‘hysterically funny must be joke of the day’ time.
I am of course referring to the SLCC. Many musicians who perform in Second life have been asked to perform at the convention, myself being one of them.. of which I am truly delighted to be part of.
SLCC = Chicago.. I live in London.. rather far away, so not wishing to wait until 3 days before to book a flight, last week I duly filled in various online forms (having racked around I dont know how many sites to find the best deal)
and Voila! I hand over my hard earned money (saved up and saved up) and grin to myself as I now have flights and hotel booked for the duration of this Wonderful event. Mucho excitement
Imagine my horror when inworld ( and via email) I receive the following erm… document.. I’ll call it document for now.
it was named actually as ‘SLCC Audio Release Form’."
The Contract:
*****
I hereby grant to Phreak Media, LLC and its legal representatives and assigns, the irrevocable, perpetual, unrestricted, global and exclusive license to broadcast, record, distribute, and/or publish any audio in which I am included, on
August 24-26, 2007 at Second Life Community Convention and related events, Chicago, IL for any purpose, without compensation. I hereby release Phreak Media, LLC and its legal representatives and assigns from all claims and liability relating to said audio. I further waive any right to inspect or approve the live audio and/or audio recordings or any printed or electronic matter that may be used in conjunction with them. I acknowledge that I am at least 18 years of age and competent to sign this release. I have read this release before signing, I understand its contents, meaning and impact, and I freely accept the terms.
This agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California.

Slim Warrior continues:
"Having read through several times, just to make sure I havent MISREAD anything, I immediately IM the sender with” You have to be KIDDING me!, upon which I get the reply to follow the discussion on a google group… so I rush of to peruse the postings only to have yet another shock upon then reading the following statement…..
“If you feel that it is either unfair or something that you cannot abide by in exchange for performing at SLCC, I understand and will accept your resignation from SLCC’s music lineup. I really hope you don’t feel that resigning is necessary, since all of this has been created in good faith with everyone’s best interest in mind. Phreak is, however, a business, and they are hoping to recover a small portion of their costs.”"

DJs Chosen for the Second Life Community Convention
DJs chosen for the SLCC
Hey everyone! There has been a lot things dealing with DJs for the SLCC - and while I had hoped to have this list earlier, due to complications I was not able to announce everyone! I am glad to announce that everything has been cleared and here are the announcements of those already chosen to DJ’s for the SLCC and a tentative schedule.
Radio Style DJ’s (Friday Night)
Originally these DJ’s were to DJ during the conference on Saturday, but because of major complications, we bumped it a day early, and are going to have the radio style DJ’s perform on Friday (which works out better time wise as well). In the case of several DJ’s from a radio station wishing to perform, rather than having each DJ perform, I’ve assigned a time slot for that particular radio station, and they can do what they wish with that slot. On Friday, this event is tentatively timed to happen from 8pm to 2am. Each grouping would be an hour long. Currently, the groupings are:
Radio Radio
Stormy Wilde
Naydee McGettigan
Ganesha Xi
Chelle Moore
Danielle Ferguson
Performance Style DJ’s (Masquerade). Those performing at the Masquerade are performance style DJ’s, and will be performing from 8pm to 2am, each roughly an hour. In no order those performing for the Masquerade are:
DJ Doubledown Tandino
Nexeus Fatale
Nala Galatea
Maxx Monde
Nitron Xi
Podcasters before the DJs perform on Friday, SecondCast will be hosting their podcast live from the SLCC on Friday at 7pm. Additional performers during the Masquerade, Slim Warrior and Flaming Moe will be accompanying performances during the beginning of the Masquerade with a DJ performing with them.
There will be an upcoming meeting for all of the DJs, stay tuned!
Thank you for your patience and your understanding and I can’t wait till things get started!
