Chillin’ with Anji Bee #25
I think you can watch the sun go down behind me this week as I chat about Twitter, podcaster crushes, Matthew Ebel, Second Life, taxes, my noisy neighbor, my new superfan, breaking my Unwind legend, Lovespirals news, PodCruise, PME, and live performance nerves. OH don’t forget to Bum Rush the Charts 3/22/2007 – whenever that is wherever you are watching this!

Anji interview on XtraChill Intensiv
Andreas interviewed me for a special feature on my various musical projects on his new XtraChill Intensiv podcast! The feature includes several tracks each from Lovespirals, Bitstream Dream, and Plastic Chair, giving an overview of my work from the past 5 years or so. This is a bilingual interview, with Andreas speaking in German and English and me just in English. But music is the universal language, right?
Matthew Ebel show in SL
Hung out with Britney and The Diva last night at the Matthew Ebel – aka “Hali Heron” – show at the Hummingbird in Second Life. Wow! He really gives it his all when he performs! It’s crazy to be watching a giant bird in a white tux make that music. He’s completely charming in between songs, too, always mentioning the tippers by name and responding to chat threads. Total pro, all the way. I think he’ll definitely be featured on the next Unwind. Oh, check out my new SL glasses! They look just like my RL glasses.

Little getaway to an old hangout
Had a nice trip down memory lane yesterday, strolling on the Redondo Beach Pier with Ryan. Hadn’t been there in ages! I think the pier has been completely rebuilt since last I visited; I seem to recall an aged wooden pier while now it’s virtually all concrete. Still, the rad old-school game place is intact, packed full of antique games as well as newer ones. From wooden horse races to electronic dance pads, the whole history of public game machines is there! I played a few rounds of skee ball, a rip roaring fun game of air hockey, and tried my hand (or should say “feet”?) at a new fangled dance game – boy did I stink at that! It was so foggy down there that I felt like I had taken a trip up north somewhere, like Santa Cruz. Also checked out a few of filming locations from The OC, like the “The Pier Diner” and “The Bait Shop”. (That’s it in back there below…) Fun times!

Julien Smith on City News
Ryan just forwarded me this video of Amber Mac interviewing Julien Smith about Homeless Nation. Boy, is he jealous of Jules! Ryan actually asked Julien if he’d met Amber when they met at PME last year. Hee hee hee. Good interview, too. Mr. Smith is not only the real thing, but a true star. š
Anji Riel’s Second Life
Logged into Second Life a few times this week. Attended the Dean Koontz reading yesterday, chillin’ at the Crayonville amphitheater. Every time I see CC in game, there’s too much going on for us to really chat, and then the event is over and he logs out. Sigh. I always meet someone cool when he’s around though! This time it was a vintage designer who liked my hair, and a gal name Absolut Smirnov who runs a vintage themed event, called Rivers of Venus, Sundays at 4pm. I’m going to try to stop by soon.
