The Guitar Museum

Post by oddball otoole »

The Guitar Museum...
It's a project I have been working on for 7 years (depends on when you read this!) now. It started way back in 2007-ish on SL when me and a couple of friends thought it might be fun to start such a museum on SL. We rented a couple of plots of land on mainland SL and starting putting things together: A small museum with prims you could touch and get info about guitar players, a small podium for SL artists and some freebie guitars.
We did some advertising, got some SL guitar players to perform, and soon we had something going.

Most weekends we filled the region with 40 avatars at any given time, live guitar players, live dj's, tipjars being filled, region lagged seriously! :D

But...

We (the owners, 3 persons with a RL besides SL) had to take care of things, and at one point a "fun thing to do" became an "24/7 job"..
That was not the plan, so we started to look for some help: hostesses, managers and such...they came, a couple of weeks later the went away...
Sooooo, we decided it was indeed a fun thing to do, we had some of the best SL artists performing, we had lots of laughs and stuff, and then it became a job...and we had jobs in RL, families, a social live and stuff.
We took the guitar museum down on SL, and I kinda left SL at the same time. I just discovered OpenSim, set up my first standalone, had old SL friends visit that standalone, and soon I was a member of the OSgrid family.

I started a tuned down version of a guitar museum there. Just a museum, no live gigs, no dj's.
Just a museum and some shops with stuff I create.
I was having a bright moment at that time: I saved an OAR of this place!

And then the whole OSGrid child avie thing happend, and I left OSGrid.

Metropolis!! My new home, and still is my home grid. A grid of arts! Love it.
The staff at metro used an old region I made for the Summer of Arts 2014 festival (OAR download here: http://opensim-creations.com/2012/04/22 ... ll-otoole/) and they asked me to build the region for Summer of Arts 2015. And that build is my best build so far..

Enough about me and my virtual life! Back to the Guitar Museum here on kitely.

Why Kitely? Why loading my old Guitar Museum here?
Well, I was way past drunk and...
No, just kidding :D

I happen to have a region, or world as we call it here, and I happen to stumble on this old OAR on my PC.
As said before, it's a long running project, and I'll see where it ends, or better said, if it end here!
