SL's Cylindrian Rutabaga Tours Boston

In October, after Filthy returned from Cali, we hosted Georgia's all star musician/singer/songwriter Cylindrian Rutabaga, Grace Buford in RL, for her Boston area tour and visit. Cylindrian came to town to attend and perform at Pod Camp in Boston and to play at several other venues around the greater Boston area, including Boston's Sweetwater Cafe, Chelmsford's The Java Room and Cambridge's Lizard Lounge. In fact Grace placed in the top three in Lizard Lounge's weekly singer/songwrighter contest. Grace will be asked back to perform in a final showdown at the Lizard Lounge with the possibility o getting a solo gig there. If you ever get the chance to see Grace Buford play live.. don't miss it... you are in for a musical treat.

Filthy and Cylindrian had first met in person at the SL conference in Chicago. While visiting here in MA she got to hang out with Filthy in his studio. Filthy worked on some new drawings while Grace worked on some new tunes. At the end of her visit Filthy and wife Anya made Grace a New England style Lobster dinner! We think she had a good visit... and we know for sure that WE had an amazing time.

Filthy's Trip to Cali Part 2

In October, Filthy travelled to the San Francisco Bay area to meet with Second Life's Holli Hollwood and to create a commissioned drawing for Holly and her husband Angus. Holli owns the in-world jazz club Blue Fusion and in RL works for IBM Lotus.


In addition to karaoke every night at Angus and Holli's, Filthy visited his old friends at IBM's Almaden Research Center in San Jose.


Shown above is Filthy with Almaden's Douglas McDavid.
The purpose of this visit was to spearhead a partnership with Artropolis, Blue Fusion, IBM and Almaden Research Center, beginning with some upcoming joint events in SL.
Also in the works ... Filthy is planning an exhibition at Almaden's Library. So, stay tuned....
