<Blank Canvas>, <28May 2009> - MUSIMMERSION is an immersive live music experience produced and performed by Grace McDunnough.
Selected as the Best Live Music Event in 2007, MUSIMMERSION 2009 opens June 1, 2009 as part of SeanMcPherson Senior's Blank Canvas project within Second LifeTM.
MUSIMMERSION leverages the intrinsic capabilities of Second Life to deliver an unmatched experience, taking listeners on a journey to see live music from a new perspective, teasing out bits of a musical arrangement onto a virtual canvas against which the live musician works.
MUSIMMERSION is a limited engagement production, with access limited to 20 avatars per performance to optimize the experience and initial shows are accessible to Votaries' of Grace group members only. Join the group for special engagement and show time announcements.
Grace McDunnough and her MUSIMMERSION is genius. Using the strongest elements of SL and live music performance, Grace takes you on a musical journey into the heart of each song as the crowd is literally transported into a new environment reflecting the story and imagery of each tune. Add to that that her performances are super strong, a great selection of songs, beautifully detailed sets and you have a winner. - HATHEAD Snaps

Re: The International Career Fair ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Join us May 28, Thursday, for the fourth recruiting job fair event by GAX Technologies. The fair will be held from 6 am slt to 11 am slt. Jorden Andrew will be the DJ for the after party and will be playing lovely jazz tunes for the crowd live from 10am slt-11am slt. The European real life job fair is held in Second Life every six months at the Working Worlds Luxembourg sim. The popularity of the job fairs have grown immensely over the past two years. This type of recruitment for real life companies is the way of the future for big corporations. Second Life has become the virtual platform preferred by GAX Technologies to help their clients reach out and connect with their future employees. Job seekers attend the fair in search of finding their dream job or their next big career move. To help job hunters learn more about the fair and how it will benefit them there will be conferences and e-learning sessions at the Working Worlds location in-world. Working Worlds offers everything possible to help ensure the success of the job seekers.
During the November 2008 fair 3,500 candidates submitted their CV's, the May 2008 fair brought 2,767 CV's, and for the November 2007 fair there were 1,500 CV's submitted by candidates. Every six months the numbers of CV's submitted continues to increase which proves that people are responsive to an in-world job fair. Presently, there are over 3,500 CV's submitted for the May 2009 fair which will make this job fair the most successful one yet. In order to participate as a career seeker go to the Working Worlds' website www.working-worlds.com and register your CV, it's a very easy process and will put you on the right track to finding your new livelihood.
Cornelia den Hartog, Managing Director of 'GAX Technologies' and organizer of the Career Fairs is entirely convinced; 'The need for companies to attract new profiles from beyond the territorial limits is becoming more and more important. 'The 'Working Worlds' Career Fairs are in itself the most efficient solutions currently available to these companies without having to deploy significant resources. Our partners will be directly in touch with candidates who will not have to travel, but who may meet their future employer "Live" on Second Life'.
As we have stated before, it really does not get any easier than this and the results can be just as rewarding for both the employer and the job seeking employee. The Working Worlds sim gives a career seeker the opportunity to do something they cannot do outside of a virtual world. One can get up out of bed, walk over to the computer, and be interviewed without having to change clothing or pay travel expenses to interview with recruiters from prestigious companies for a job that he/she is qualified for. Using Second Life as a complimentary recruitment tool is just the beginning of the many uses of Second Life for real life corporations. Come down and discover a creative, fulfilling, and exciting world of opportunities. There is opportunity for everyone, you are invited to come and find that career you have always wanted it is just a teleport away!
For more information regarding Working Worlds, please contact Gaxdirector Weston (Managing Director) of GAX Technologies and organizer of the Career Fair, or Annette Wilder (CEO) of Wilder Public Relations Firm.
Manhattan Group, a recruitment company specialized in hospitality jobs, has been around in Second Life for about a year now. After having a “passive” office, showcasing their services, they now redesigned their office and start to actively recruit in Second Life.

Re: Grand Opening of +grasp+ and free gifts for members of +grasp+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Join us May 17, Sunday, beginning at 8 AM SLT, as designer Asalt Eames, owner of *Sweetaholic, unveils his newest casual collection for his new store +grasp+. There will be awesome gifts that are only available to members of the +grasp+ group, so you must join the group before coming down to the Grand Opening in order to pick up your free gift! The clothing line +grasp+ will show another side to the talented *Sweetaholic designer. If you have ever been to *Sweetaholic and set eyes on the kimonos that are made by Asalt, you will know they are some of the most beautiful kimonos ever made in SL. Asalt's clothing lines consist of very detailed, realistic pieces. He is a graphics designer in real life who loves fashion and uses the fantastic platform of SL to express his originality and to do something he loves. Asalt's deep love of fashion shows through the intricate detailing on his pieces and the time he takes creating each of them.
Asalt launched his *Sweetaholic Kimono line in November 2007, very soon after he first rezzed here in SL. *Sweetaholic is now well known amongst the Japanese community in SL, so now seemed a perfect time for Asalt to branch out into a new casual line, thus +grasp+ was born. Asalt uses high quality, cutting edge prim texture work on his designs which helps set him apart from other designers. +grasp+ gives Asalt the opportunity to expand his customer base and show the spectrum of his skills as a talented designer.
"What sets Asalt apart from other designers," you may ask. "Why should I attend this," some might wonder. Much like in real life fashion is always changing and +grasp+ is one of the newest stores to hit SL and it will be a part of the next level of change for SL fashion. If you love clothing that is made specifically to give your avatar the look of realism +grasp+ is for you. The revolution of SL fashion begins here!
For more information regarding +grasp+, please contact Asalt Eames. Media wanting to interview or setup appointment with Asalt please contact Annette Wilder-Wilder Public Relations Firm Inc™ Owner.
