ALIENS! Coming soon!

Stream rented, program notecard ready, and rehearsing for ALIENS. I don't know who this person is in this little farmhouse surrounded by souvenir boxes, but he's getting ready to tell his story to Oprah and the world.

Sonic Poetry Experimentation

Thaylon Singh and Phorkyad Acropolis team up to collaborate on a new performance; connected via Skype and streaming into SL they are going to experiment with words and music. Come sit, listen, and see what happens. We have no idea...

Phorkyad will be using poetic material from a poem cycle. Thaylon will be employing his bank of instruments and electronic gadgets. There will be some pre-planning on each of their parts, but no pre-discussion. Whatever happens, happens. Come watch the creative process in...process.

Aliens! 3 Miles, Turn Left!

Long promised, we have now scheduled performances of the monologue, Aliens! 3 Miles, Turn Left! It's the tale of a man who finds aliens in his backyard, and how it affects his life.

The production is low-tech, concentrating on the vocal acting talents of Phorkyad Acropolis, who wrote the piece. The approximately 20 minute monologue will be performed on the following dates and times:

July 30, 6:00pm
August 1, 3:00pm
August 1, 6:00pm
August 2, 4:00pm

The performances will take place at the newly redesigned Muse Of Fire venue. Slurl: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Runtrop/98/148/501/

Debi Latte June 25

Debi drew a large crowd on June 25. Many of her loyal fans turned out to hear some old favorites and some new pieces she recently added. She also sang Happy Birthday to Phorkyad, whose creator had a birthday the day before. (He'll be celebrating his rezday right after SLCC, with SL and RL friends in SF. Had enough abbrevs?)



Anyway, right after the concert, Megh began preparations for the NEW Muse of Fire, the one she wanted to build last year, but lacked the time and sculpty-sculpting ability. So when next you come back to MOF, prepare to be surprised! Or look at the photos below...

We're back! Again!

The grand re-opening of Muse of Fire happens this Thursday with Phorkyad and his spoken word poetry at 4pm. Then our good friend Debi Latte arrives to sing at 5pm. Afterward, DJ Mahogany will take a break from Muse of Fire radio and do a set after Debi. All our way of saying, yes we're back! And watch for more Muse of Fire events all summer, leading up to the Second Life Community Convention.

And look for a new look (?) on Phorkyad. An awkward moment, catching your partner with your intended makeover (see pic).

Muse of Fire Holiday Party

On Sunday, Dec. 28, we held our end of the year holiday party. Ice skates (with ice!) and hot chocolate available for all, and performers Debi Latte, Phorkyad Acropolis, and DJ Mahogany to entertain. Friends old and new, and Debi's followers (go Debi!) were present. Phorkyad unveiled new spoken word pieces, "(Christmas Is) One of My Least Favorite Times"--to confirm his Scrooge-like status--"12 Weeks of the Semester (A Professor's Lament)" and "Serial Monogamy (Long Version)." The latter contains a satire of another funky performer in SL, and Steorling Heron commented that the satire was indeed palpable.

Muse Of Fire is planning some small theatrical performances for the summer. Watch this space for details!

We're Coming Back!

The academic year continues to knock us down, but we're going to sit up and look around on December 28th, with a special holiday event at the Muse of Fire, featuring performances by acoustic musician Thaylon Singh, spoken word poet Phorkyad Acropolis (hopefully with some new stuff!), sultry singer Debi Latte, and the feline DJ Mahogany. Free drinks as always! Come out and join with friends old and new as we celebrate the years (old and new)!
