Inside Musso & Frank’s Grill where the popcorn is hot and fresh, and the soft drinks are on the house.
It’s a little different from the Hollywood version, but don’t forget, this IS the Bardo.
Signed photos of celebrities line the walls, and the famous “Oldest Bar in Hollywood, since Early This Morning.
The legendary Musso & Frank’s long hand-carved Old West Bar is complete and has been in continual service for hours and hours now.
If you are observant, you’ll take note that some of the sparkling drinks are a bit flat, and so are the bottles of booze and in fact everything else in the back of the bar, but don’t worry, it doesn’t look flat to the inhabitants, just as the four-dimensional objects in your ordinary world don’t look flat to you although the people might.
This idyllic scene is taken in a small city park in the fancier section of town, just shy of Bev Hills, the fanciest place on the map.
This is the opera house & comedy workshop in the business district of BardoTown. The office buildings are, as you’d expect, one-prim dummies.
Who wants to go to an office in virtual, when you don’t have to? Stay in bed and roll out your Avatar for the day.
I took a few minutes to relax out by the tour bus stop in Bev Hills — that IS the name of the wealthy section of BardoTown, where you’ll find all manner of fancy boutiques, once I get them built.
Then, of course, it’s your turn to build a duplicate city in Kitely — can you imagine something more fun than that???
Yeah, this is the fanciest home on the block — it’s also the ONLY home on the block. These rich folks really know how to use up territory fast.
This is my favorite of the elegant beach style Ashram Homes I made for the group a few years back.
Of course, those were all replaced by Tibetan Retreat Huts like these:
Yep, I single-handedly installed these huts and the altars and cushions inside them, and if there’s anything weirdly wrong about your hut, please tell me and I will instantly fix it.
That doesn’t go for the rough spots in your life — those are yours to handle.
I took a jump in the middle of all the Musso stuff and the Bev Hills installs to put in a few attractions on the boardwalk of WharfTown, which is now on the map, thanks to the generosity of a number of folks.
I’m working to complete it soon, and will be trying to find the perfect things to go in there — I know exactly what I’m looking for, and most of what I need, I already have — once again, thanks to the generosity of donors, contributors and builders, who are helping to make BardoTown happen big-time both in Second Life and in Kitely — it already has a massive presence in the Godd™ Engine.
Here’s the corner grill in Musso’s where, early one September morning in 1967, I learned from the fry cook how to make a proper omelette, and eventually, with further skills, how to make scrambled eggs that are neither rubbery nor runny — the Goldilocks Zone of Eggs.
It’s not as easy as you may think. Try to make the Perfect Omelette and see what you get most of the time, even if you’re good at it.
I put some more work into the ultraviolet black-light poster display in the middle of the Psychedelic Supermarket, and the bulbs were an idea I got from the marketplace. Easy to make, just add glow and light source.
Famous Gene used to sit up there in the corner, high enough to see if anyone was slipping a record into their jacket — it’s hot in L.A. so anyone in a jacket is either a shoplifter, a pickpocket or a federal agent, or all three.
Famous Gene went with us to protest the Saints being dropped from the Catholic calendar, and we went into the California Unemployment line to try to get benefits as the dead saints, and the news media was there in force
We made Newsweek, Time and Vanity Fair. 6,000 words-in-print, not bad for any Hollywood publicist, even WITH a budget.
I had none, and that’s what made it double the fun.
My alchemist’s booth is loaded with goodies, but you’d better know how to squeeze into the glass cases if you want what’s in there.
I very intentionally threw you a few curves here.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger? Wrong. What doesn’t kill you makes you whimper — get it right.
See You At The Top!!!
