Our second week of running the venue, Ye Olde Wolf n Hawk, went well except for one small problem, the avi capacity was far too low for comfort. The performers, Mamaa Saiz and Beth Odets, Shannon Oherlihy and Cailidgh Spires are popular entertainers and the venue was full from the first 15 minutes. While that may sound like a good thing, the problem was, how could Shannon or Cailidgh get into the venue to perform their sets if we were full to capacity. We had also received a few I M's from folks who could not get in and were wondering why?
Anyway to cut a long story, luck was on our side and both performers were able to get in as people came and went, but it showed us very clearly that if we wanted to carry on with the venue then we had to move to a sim that could accommodate more people, and so at the end of the show and celebrations for that day, we were off land hunting.
We found somewhere relatively quickly and so said goodbye to the sim we had all lovingly created ,and Sunwolf and I began dismantling and reassembling the venue in it's new home during the early hours of the morning.
Unfortunately Alix and Trick, have so much going on in RL that they have decided not to continue with the venue, so now it is down to Sunwolf and I to run it. It is both exciting and a bit scary, we just hope we manage to get it right, I guess time will tell. Sunwolf and I are lucky that it was just us two and the dog for xmas, so we were able to work on n off through the holiday and finally finished putting the last pieces in place earlier today.
Friday the23rd was Sunwolf's rezz day birthday, he was one year old. He laughed and said how amazing it was that a one year old could play a mandolin and run a pc.
We played at Guthries that morning, a place we love dearly. There were a nice group of people in and it was a just great to be able perform for them.
Next, we were hosting at our own venue and again. There were a lovely group of folks in, so that in spite of the worry mentioned above, we still had a good time. Cailidgh and her band of tinies took over the venue during her set, and were still partying when Sunwolf and I left to get ready for our show at Cuddlers Cove.
It is always a joy to play At Cuddlers, it is the place Wolf n Hawk were born, and that would't have happened at all if it wasn't for the encouragement of Quinton and Suka, and knowing how much the music and playing gives to Sunwolf and I makes their support more valuable than I could ever say.
We were truly touched when the aforementioned band of tinies turned up to our show and bopped with us till they could stay awake no longer. We were also joined by our buddy, Laid Back Celt, and one or two others who's names, I must admit I cannot recall, but they were so welcome never the less.
To end our celebration, we were then entertained by the awesome talent of Quinton Whitman, and so ended a truly lovely day , both our hearts were glowing by the end of the night.
With all the moving and celebrating, we did not get round to many other places this week, but now the work is done we will be back venue hopping in between performing and hosting our venue, and with a bit of luck we will bump into you somewhere.
So till next time, I am wishing you Peace and Happy Holidays.
