Starfruit Booth


English:
I know some of you are wondering, what is that phone booth in the entrance of MJ? well, if you don't know, its a Starfruit cabin, is a free system to send SMS (short messages to mobile phones)... WHAT? yes! you can send free sms to any mobile phone around the world.

How?
Simply, go to the telephone booth and type in public chat and very close to the cabin: /8 followed by the mobile phone number of your friend and then the message. Example:/8 0015551234567 Hi Joe! I'm in SL. Join me! Bob.
Don't forget your country code (001 for US, 0041 for Switzerland, 0056 for Chile, etc).
I tried the service and works excelent! well, except with my sister Leisie Anatine, she lives in Mexico and she didn't received all the sms I sent to her. But you can try with your SL or RL friends.
Spanish:
Para nuestros amigos de habla hispana, les cuento que la cabina telefónica que tenemos en MJ, es para enviar mensajes cortos (sms) a teléfonos móviles a cualquier parte del mundo. Solo debes acercarte o entrar a la cabina y tipear en el chat publico: /8 0015551234567 Hola Ags, estoy aqui en MJ.
Siempre debes colocar doble cero y el código del país. A disfrutar!!!

How i met Midnight Jazz


In 2007, a very closed friend: Coffee Binder (btw, i lost him months ago, I dont know nothing about him) invited me to be part of a group of friends of him: Midnight Jazz, was a little club on the beach with nice music and dance balls, a paradise to avoid those big and giant clubs so crowed. I used to be there with my friend Wiley Arai, and dance a lot (what happen with you?)...
One day on september 2007, I was haging around on SL and a notice capped my attention: a guy, Quirky Torok said, I need a manager to Midnight Jazz... I thought, what a hell do a manager in here? and my curiosity was foward and IM him right away, and after a little chat, I was the new manager of Midnight Jazz... and i didnt knew which will be mi responsibilities or what... and my english that time was not too good, so i had serious troubles in my first meeting there: i remember was Quirky, Blue, Gregg, Mal and Mic, and they were taking decision about construction and opening day for Midnight Jazz, and they talking so fast so i didnt had time to translate properly.
Sadly I dont have pictures of that time, but i still remember the fire place where we sat. But since that day I am involved with this amazing club.
