Week 27: Holidays round 1 - Dec. 8, 2010

Sorry about it being more than 24 hours since the set was over before posting this, but RL (RealLife™) intervened. BUT, now that we're all here, let's talk about this week's set. Once again we convened at the lovely club, The Drunken Drow in beautiful downtown Burbank - I mean the lovely Second Life sim of Elvenshire. We had a by-no-means-crowded club with people dropping in and leaving all night, but we held a rather steady level of attendance. You are all welcome to drop in (accounts in Second Life are free, after all) and join in the fun next Wednesday from 8-10 p.m. Pacific time next week and join in the fun. We'll have even more steampunk & steampunk-compatible holiday music in the mix than we did this week.

But enough with me prattling on, you want to know what was played and (perhaps) how to get the music. Here's the list:

Week 26: An early start - Dec. 1, 2010

Tonight's lead-in act at The Drunken Drow ended early, leaving me a little flat-footed, as I wasn't finished with my prep for the show. But I got things switched over and started up and managed to pull off the whole set with people staying on. It was a fun night, though we didn't get in any requests. :-(
