Leftfield Friends

Last weekend I got an IM from Somebody I hadn’t met before, a fellow named Junior Yifu. What I call Left field friends. Because they come out of left field, and generally disrupt your SL day. To make a long story shorter, Junior is a Brazillian in RL and wanted to start DJing in SL and someone had given him my name as a really good DJ in SL. (I came to find out later is that was a nice woman, also from Brazil, who had seen my Groove Sunday DJ set at the Jazz Link.) So after spending an unplanned hour being nice to Junior and helping sort out the technical difficulties associated with streaming audio I get back to what I was origionally doing, building on my race car. After about 5 more IMs from this guy, I set my self to Busy mode to get some work done.
I do wish that you could set busy mode just for some people.

I know I could use mute and not receive, Junior’s IM’s but I’m a softy and think that impolite. And I try to be polite, even when he starts Sending TPs (teleports) while I’m DJing. Sheesh.
So the ironic semi-ending is that I went to the House-Divas Club last night to watch and hear Junior spin and about 10minutes into his set. I realized that it wasn’t Junior that I was hearing, but the clubs internet radio station…Poor Junior bitten by the technical bug.
Well Junior is DJing again over the next 2 nights at the House-Divas Club http://slurl.com/secondlife/island3/29/52/23 Be there for some hot international house music.
