This photograph was blatantly stolen in the night from Zoree Jupiter, there, I said it.
A night of 30 minute music sets on a special region AMV International, showcasing singers from around the world, and celebrating the vibrant and fascinating multicultural community we're all part of.
The celebration of all things international is of course in the air with the HIE event coming up in April 19-21. HIE is a sort of opensim convention, with a big but simple Expo park, and speakers and art performers doing their stuff in German, French, Italian and Portuguese, with a few hints of Swedish and Hungarian thrown into the mix, and all made clear to you thanks to a cunning system of subtitles so even if you only know English, you'll be able to understand all the tech, art, and cultural goodies that will make up that event, to be held on Craft Grid.

Fabulous set by Ian Kitsilano |
The energy in the room was palpable and the crowd enormous - with the inevitable side effect of a lot of mesh bodies appearing in pieces (I'm always amazed that people wear their heaviest avies to 'look their best' an event where they are pretty much doomed to rez badly). But with a crowd consistently topping 50 warm if only partially clothed bodies, there was an amazing atmosphere of fun and friendliness, as people came and went.
Crossing four continents we had a taste of everything from Brazil to Scotland to Newfoundland and Indonesia with plenty of Portugal USA, and Italy in the mix, not to mention the UK and Canada... hmm think that was all of it! I got there a bit late and so missed Safari favorite Joao Frazao, followed by Khiron Ametza, but I did hear Zoree Jupiter, Maven, Clan Escotia, Icky and Sum, Ian Kitsilano, Nikita Anderson , Zeno Stark . The wonderful Indonesian singer Putri Solo was wowing the crowd as I bowed out, and I completely missed the intriguing Dave King, whose anecdote about Italian cheese still has me perplexed. The evening was rounded off by Cataplexia herself, but I was asleep by then, pondering parmesan. Can't wait for the next one of these! What fun!
