Amazing Night at Nevaria!

Hello lovelies - we had a fantastic party at Nevaria - The DJs, the costumes, the setting--all incredible, and I lost count of how many people were there. Since I was having a bit of trouble with my graphics, Kasabian Beck was kind enough to take some snaps for me. Have a look at the Applecross group in Flickr - there are some great images http://www.flickr.com/groups/1258595@N21/ Keep an eye out here for setlists from Stacia Reinoir, Palmindan Whybrow, and Mzdeedee Dagger. The music matched the setting beautifully. Thanks to Liliane Despres for inviting Applecross to Nevaria, and to Madison Oller for introducing us!

Nevaria--Down the Rabbit Hole with a Darker Alice

Yes, on Monday, July 19, Applecross will journey to Nevaria for a visit to Wonderland--not the cartoon land we all know, but a darker, more sinister RP world created by the Queen of Hearts, Liliane Despres. Read all about the story of Nevaria on their excellent website http://www.slnevaria.com/ Quoted from the site: "Welcome to Nevaria, You have journied here from beyond the shadows, emerging into a wonderland of dreams and nightmares. A land of many curiosities, ruled over by the cruel Queen of Hearts. Will you fall victim to her sadistic justice or will you rise above and pave your own way? Welcome to Wonderland... we're all mad here." Check out these images of Nevaria:
We'll be dancing here!

Down the rabbit hole.

The Queen's Castle


Nevaria: coming soon to Applecross!

"No room! No room!' they cried out when they saw Alice coming."

Thanks to Belladora Darkfold!


Big thanks to Belladora Darkfold for hosting this event, to Tamara Scorbal for giving me a tour of this amazing build, to Madison Oller for introducing me to Bella, and to all of the role players who shared the experience of this beautiful sim with for this 'out of character' Applecross event. Congratulations to Bella, and everyone who participated in the fantastic design and build of Hogwarts Prevails -- we were so pleased to have this opportunity for a peek into the Potterverse.

The DJs! The Music!

Applecross parties are about listening to great music, while immersed in a cool environment. Our DJs were Olivia Button, Windsor Lorefield, and Solange Simondsen--who at the last moment stepped in for the Nachts, who were unavoidably detained. Here are their setlists, with a bit of info about each DJ. If you have not seen these fine DJs perform, go now! p.s. the Nachts will definitely be making an appearance at a future event!

Olivia Button
Olivia was first interested in playing her favorite indie tunes to the general public when she and her friends created Courage My Love - a little indie club that, although lasted only briefly, but was very dear to her heart. Since then, she has played at The Nightlight Lounge, the Library owned by Athena Elton, The Laundromat and Mixtape.

She is constantly on the hunt for new indie musicians and at the same time, enjoys a variety of killer tunes from the ever growing archives inside her iTunes library. Currently she's digging Broken Bells, the Broken Keys, the Features, the new Arcade Fire and MGMT.

Sol is awesome. About a month after Solange was born in SL, she started DJing AND managing The Rooftop Club. Everyone whispered, "She's got to be an alt!" No, she's no alt--she's just that good! When I mentioned to Sol that the Nachts weren't able to make it, she said 'I'm on it," and about 15 minutes later, she had a themed set ready to play. She was great, of course. Sol was also manager of The Gnarled Oak, and is currently a DJ, builder, and Manager of Bombay (b)Indie. Her sets at Bombay, as well as The Laundromat, are eclectic and will make you feel electric.
