This is our lives

Yesterday (24 hours ago), both Ewa and I were disabled from Second Life at the same time. Not just “us”, all our accounts except one of mine were disabled.

I was lucky, I happened to get hold of the right person at LL´s customer service that solved it pretty quickly. The guy couldn’t tell me the reason why they disabled us. Very ignorant if you ask me. But I guess its the rules...

Ewa was unlucky and got in touch with someone that obviously didn’t care. She is after 24 h still disabled.

Friends from all over have tried to elped us, but the answer is....silence.

Why did you disable both of us at the same time? Cant be a mistake! What´s the chance for that!
Havent we paid our bills? Yes we have!
Have we griefed anyone or broken the TOS? Hell no, we live a very quite, but busy life on our sims working most of the time.
Have our accounts been hi-jacked or cracked? I have no idea! If so please tell us!
When do Ewa get her accounts back? Have no idea!

How canyou treat your residents like this LL? What kind of service level is this? Where is the compassion?

This is not a silly game, it’s our lives!

Almost got a heart attack

When I tried to log in today this message hit me like brick:
Your account has been disabled by Linden Lab.
Please Call 800-860-6990 during the hours of
9AM - 6PM PST, Monday - Friday.

I tried my second account and this message hit me like a brick even harder:
Your account has been disabled by Linden Lab.
Please Call 800-860-6990 during the hours of
9AM - 6PM PST, Monday - Friday.

I tried my third account and guess what, I could log in!! But I wasnt that keen on living me days as that dirty ol bastard so I called the LL support and gave them hell:)

Jesper Prinz is back but sadly Ewa is not.....

**Hmm when Ewa tried to log in she had exactly the same problems? What is this? Anyonelse faced these problems or is it just family Prinz/Aska?

Winecellar day 2

Relay for life auctions

Some weeks ago I bought Cody Redgraves painting "Boudoir Rouge - Eshi Otawara" for a huge amount of money (50K). I got the pic in a printable version from Cody, thanx!

Supporting a good course, AND participate in charity organization that works fine like Relay for life is a given for both Ewa and me. (When it comes to those amateur things like hmm well I wont mention their names, its No Thank you.

Soon there is the design auction (June 6) and I know one person that will go nuts there....Puss Ewa

Building a winecellar

Soon at your your fav hotel in SL

Jean Munro & XanderNichting Writer @ SIM CLOSING-Poseidon's Port

Well this is the day when ppl and companies deciding to retreat from SL. When a traffic-hunting rl company like the one who owns the Second Sweden sims take that decicion I dont care to be honest. Ofcourse I care about those who has tons of memories from the sims, homes, shops etc. Dont get me wrong there pls. Take my advice, buy a full sim and full fill your dreams. You wont be rich moneywise but you will get a richer life.

But when a striving private person and ava and a very good friend like Jean Munro has to take that decision I get almost depressed.

Huuuu Jean and Red see you tonight:((


Monday May 25th at 3pm...
Jean Munro & XanderNichting Writer @ SIM CLOSING-Poseidon's Port

Sadly, my friends, please, join us for the last show to be held at Poseidon's Port. A sign of the times as another sim bids its farewell. It will be a
bittersweet show as I open a very special stage built by the talented Red Mounier at 3pm at the Cat & Fiddle Pub
AND say goodbye with a special concert with my dear friend
XanderNichting Writer. We will be double streaming a brand new special
song, for a magical stage with a surprise inside. Xander takes the
stage at 3:45. Not to be missed! The Double Streaming starts at 4pm.

The Elvera Lerner Show

Yesterday´s show was great! Elvera did a wonderful show and lots of people came (68). Thank you very much for coming and see you soon at the Icehotel SL!

Family pic of Ewa and I and our newly hired bouncer Izi. Dont mess with us guys, Izi will kick your ass!

Elvera´s show is much based on musicals and films and this act must be from Luc Besson´s "Le Grand Bleu". My hardheaded wife, Ewa Aska, said the act was form Disney´s "Ariel, the little mermaid". Well lets save this discussion for our weekly meeting with the family therapist and not have it on a simple blog like this:)

Frosty and Charlotte was there dreaming away to the tunes of Elvera:)

Elvera Lerner and a....rabbit:)

Angelo & Soul a lovely couple who will marry on Thursday. Ewa and I will arrange the party for them at the Icehotel. Do you want help with your SL party or wedding? Just contact us and we will help you out.

Elvera had a had a horse on the stage and the rumour of a famous horse had reached the SL horse community. There was at least 3 horse avis watching the show. Love it! As long as you are tolerant and open-minded towards others you are welcome to the Icehotel!

With thermal underwear on and a dear ava close you can have a really good time at Icehotel SL!

Lots of avas came to show and enjoyed themselves. We were in total 68 avas there and it was pretty lagfree. Ewa and I are so happy we choosed a private sim instead of laggy mainland

Exchange of rings

Yesterday when I logged in I found Ewa lying in our hammock telling me she had pottering with her new nails (thank god I am a man in both worlds and dont need doing such things:) But I noticed immediately she wasnt too happy about it. And I couldnt understand why since Ewa looooooves to pottering with things!

She gave me note with a sad face...telling me "Its the wedding ring OR the nails, Jesper, so there wont be any long red fancy nails for me." she cried softly.

I read the note she gave me from the nailshop:

-RING/JEWELRY ATTATCHMENTS TO YOUR NAILS-
-YES- we can attach your wedding ring to your nails!!! KEEP IN MIND; WE CAN NOT ATTATCH RINGS FROM ANOTHER JEWELER!!! AGAIN, IT MUST BE A WHITTENTON RING OR PIECE OF JEWELRY IN ORDER FOR US TO ATTATCH TO THE NAILS!

Smart asses, was my first thought, a bit pissed too. Well ofcourse Ewa shall have her nails so we went back to WHITTENTON get a new set of weddingrings. Went to our church for a short version of the weddingcermony and everyone was happy!

Cheers!

Elvera Lerner at 1 PM Sunday 24th

One of the most cheered concerts we have had at the Icetheatre SL was the Elvera Lerner Show.

If you missed her last time or wanna see her again you have a new chance on Sunday!

Welcome back Elvera!

Ewa & Jesper

About the artist:

Classically trained, Elvera has performed in opera and operetta for years taking such roles as Mabel in The Pirates of Penzance, Rosalinda in Die Fledermaus. Gretel in Christopher Columbus and many more. She also sings and acts in musicals, performing such roles as Calamity in Calamity Jane, Dorothy Brock in 42nd Street and Killer Queen in We Will Rock You to name but a few.

Within weeks of joining ‘Second Life’ Elvera appreciated the instant excitement of live performance online and now she is delighted to be able to share her beautiful voice with the world.

She is a natural soprano but has a great belt and mixed voice which enables her to sing a mixture of songs to suit different venues and events from romantic ballrooms, to night clubs and theatres. She now has a growing and glowing reputation as one of the most beautiful singers in the while of Second Life. Come and see for yourself, if you agree.

Thump magazine says: "Definitely outside the Second Life® box, Ms. Lerner has a voice most singers would kill for. You can tell she has the training, the range and her range is unbelievable." [http://thump-thump.blogspot.com/2008/12/elvera-lerner-rare-classic.html]

Argumentation skills

When I logged in Saturday morning I had a flood of notes coming. Not just the ordinary “I love you” ones from Ewa hehe

There was one note from her that distinguished…She had found a sim and the note was full of arguments why we should buy (we spilt everything 50/50) this little tropical island.

1) It was cheap! How much it was she didnt know, but it felt like a bargain she told me in the note...
2) We suffer from vitamin D deficiency since the sun disappears faster than you wink your eye at the Icehotel sim
3) We need a countryhouse for relaxing, our mainhouse is close to the main sim and may cause negative stress she said. And why risking being burnt out? she went on.
4) We need to vary our physical activities more, she said. Not only those going on in the bedroom. This sim has un-ending possibilities for sailing, diving and other outdoor activites. A photo of a canoe was enclosed with the very long note.

And so on….

Well we bought the sim…

Hehe

Jesper

Here we go!

Yesterday we kicked off The Icehotel Wedding Coordinators by having a guided tour and rooftop party in our new office build.

Normally you serve up pizza or something like that at housewarming, but we know our friends better than that. We made a mingle brick with plenty of vodka (hey the Icehotel is located in the middle of the so called booze-belt) and a tiny little green olive as snack.

Perfect for keeping the party going and to survive the ice-cold night at the Arctic Circle!

Well what is The Icehotel Wedding Coordinators? More info will come on this site! Stay tuned!

You are super-invited!

You are invited to the HOUSEWAFRMING of the new building hosting The Icehotel SL Wedding consultants, the satellite art gallery of Izikael Novi and Nyna Slates works.

Jesper will spin som fav tunes during the PARTY!

See you there!

Tango, good friends and a landing point too far away

When you are doing an open event like we are doing a lot, a pretty good thing to make avis aware of it is to use Events. You know that little pink star on map and those you can search.

When you create an event you have to set a Landing point which overrides TPs, Slurls and LM except for the landowner. And I happened to put this landingpoint far away from Theatre yesterday…..With the result that Ewa and I had to zoom out and TP confused avies wandering around the sim searching for the tango show:)

On top of everything else you do as an organizer of an event, managing streams, and welcome people and introducing the artist. Of course I blamed this mistake of mine on SL when Ewa asked me hehe.

However the show was great and we felt people had a really good time. Right after the show I live DJed bit and many of you stayed:)

Next up at the theatre is Elvera Lerner who visited us couple of months ago. If you have any favs that you want to see at the theatre, don’t hesitate to tell us. Most of the artist that we have booked is requests from you actually.

Well next up is not Elevra; NEXT UP is the housewarming party coming Sunday. Check your mail, join the Icehotel group or look this blog up for details

Love

Jesper & Ewa

What a Saturday nite!

Ohh my what a nite! First we went to our friends, Maggie & Franks, place SLounge and partied big time while Frank was Djing and worked really hard to keep us busy dancing SLounge is a lovely and laid back place!

Thanks alot guys!

When we had closed the club, we went to see our good friend Noma Falta playing. Wonderful as ever! Noma played for us at our home back then Ewa and I affianced. Yesterday she played some tunes just for us from that moment. And both of us flashbacked to the cliff when we engaged with Noma as witness 7 months ago:)

I can tell you there were some happy tears:)

If you havent heard Noma playing look her profile up and join her group. She will also play at the Icetheatre pretty soon!

A magic Saturday night!
