The return of the Space cowboy (it is only a title actually)
So yes… i’m back. It’s not i was out for a really long time, but my lifes (both, first and second) were pretty busy in so many ways. In first life, well, basically summer holidays, traveling and being out of town and far away from computers for almost a month. I’m sure you all will understand this, sometimes this is something we all need, at least i so need it sometimes.
About Second Life, well, in the last months i was enjoying being part of the Soup Radio project with a really wonderful team of people, sadly this project is finished now, but i’m proud and happy about the work on it. Well, the project is not exactly finished, but we are planning the last show of Soup Radio for October 1st. From here i would like to give a huge hug to all the Soup Radio team, specially Arahan Cleveau, for all the help, support and ideas.
So, since i’m back i would like to say a couple more of things. First, right now i’m building an installation for Burn2 so i will inform more in this blog, about my project and about Burn2 itself. And second… thanks for keep reading my blog! *Raul sings “Welcome back” to himself*

Soup Radio at SL8B by Arahan
20 regions of art, experiences, music, community, fun and experiences! SL8B will be up from June 20th to June 26th, at least the activities. The buildings will be opened to visit until July 2nd. Anyway, the most important day is 23rd, the BIRTHDAY itself with a lot of ceremonies and events.
And… as the title of the post indicates and as you can see in the image in the top and here at left we, the team of Soup Radio, are working on our space for SL8B.
As you can imagine right now we can only show some images of details of what we are working on exactly, but you will see more in the event or in the pictures and videos we will publish after the opening.
We are REALLY excited about it and we are having fun building our space, we are almost done! Arahan blogged in the Soup Radio blog this:
The Second Life 8th Birthday (SL8B) takes place from June 20-26th 2011, and Soup Radio is taking part in the celebrations.
We’re using it as an opportunity to introduce the station to new listeners and explain what we’re all about, and with that in mind we’re working on creating a space where visitors can relax, listen to the current schedule, and browse information. We’re located in the Spellbound sim, do drop in if you’re in the area. Teleport here.Also, our July schedule is going to be a SL8B special, we’ll be touring the sims, talking about our discoveries, including the good, the bad, the ugly, and our conclusions on the event. If you have a plot there do send us a landmark and we’ll definitely check it out for possible inclusion.Separate from Soup Radio I’m DJing at the official stage on Thursday June 23rd from 10-11am SLT/PDT (6-7pm BST), would be great to see you there if you can make it.Teleport here.With thanks to Raul Crimson, Penumbra Carter, Dekka Raymaker and Nebulosus Severine for their contributions and help with the build.
So if you go to SL8B, please, visit our space in there. I think you will enjoy it. I will blog more about SL8B and also we will speak a lot about SL8B this month in Soup Radio.
See you in the Birthday!
Soup Radio, June 2011
I’m part of the team of Regular Guests & Contributors of Soup Radio, a non-profit online radio station dedicated to the arts, with a particular focus on the virtual world Second Life.
Our new schedule began yesterday, Saturday, June 4th 2011 (12pm PDT, 3pm EDT, 8pm BST).
About the topic for this month let me paste an extract of the Show Notes for this month:
- Amy Freelunch (despite a debilitating hangover) presents a specially prepared sound collage based on the themes of art, games, and technology. She talks about these subjects and also responds to a recent blog post by Patrick Lichty. (Duration 61 mins)

Arahan Claveau introduces his show with some announcements, before welcoming back regular guests Allan Stanley Taylor and Jane Vippond who return for their third visit. The group attend several exhibitions in Second Life, beginning with Selavy Oh‘s ‘Construct‘, followed by Oberon Onmura‘s ‘Uncanny Valley 1‘, and ending with an exploration of the Nordan Art group show, with work by Paola Tauber, Simotron Aquila, Claudia222 Jewell and Shellina Winkler. This extended episode explores many issues raised by the artists’ work, often taking the conversation into unexpected areas. (Duration 164 mins)
