Home sweet home...

YES!  Yours truly has finally rezzed his SL house, and man oh man is it "swank!"

Provided above for your viewing enjoyment, a shot of the house, as well as a pic of Moxie chillin' in the Supra(h).  Hey, what good's a sim if you can't tear it up with a few mean burnouts?!

A big thanks to my ever-so-kind neighbor Mirage!  My apologies for all the noise and smoke...

When all else fails...rave on!

Sure the crowd was small, but the fun never stopped at the impromptu rave hosted by Moxie Grumby and DJ'ed by yours truly.  If you missed it, fear not, this sucker was totally unplanned and happened on the spot!  But hey, that's just how it is in SL sometimes...

Thanks to Moxie, Tyler, and everyone else that stopped by!

...SKYDIVE!!!

Yes, yours truly went skydiving with Moxie Grumby a few nights back.  While the graphics at 4,000m aren't that awe inspiring, the sight of the approaching ground gives you a huge thrill.  This is probably something I'd never try in RL, but hey, that's what SL is for!

Please meet Natalie Moody...

Yours truly just got back from a great show by Sweden's own Natalie Moody!  You can check her out on the intertubes by visiting www.nataliemoody.com, or pay her a visit in SL!  She has an amazing voice and beautiful songs to share with everyone; I highly recommend you give her a listen!

ON AIR!...soon

Yes, yours truly held an impromptu, and totally guerilla show today at Timeless Underground.  For the three people there, it was great lol  Yes, many of you were expecting to hear yours truly tonight on Radio Riel...but sadly, it's not to be.  The show will be held in a PG sim, and let's face it, The Rane Man ain't PG (just read my comments further down regarding Live Free or Die Sof--er, Hard...)

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I try to be the next Howard Stern...the polar opposite actually.  But I'm ME, and I need to be ME when people first hear me.  Hopefully Gabs will give me a few hours to really shine, and even if it's the first and last time, I promise nothing short of an extravaganza.

Stay tuned, and be sure to check out Radio Riel's newest DJ, Dia, tonight at 7:15SLT!

***On a side note, I'm a big believer that pictures in blog posts in no way need to be relevant to the topic covered.

Timeless Underground...

Last night yours truly was invited to a rave hosted by Timeless Underground by the lovely, the talented, the oh so cool Moxie Grumby.  As with all raves in SL a great time was had by all, with yours truly enjoying a nice bottle of Jack Daniel's (SL version only, contrary to popular belief!) and even winning a raffle!  Woo!

A big shoutout to all in attendance, and for those interested, please IM Moxie and let her know
you'd like to be a part of the Timeless Underground group!  More fun is just around the corner!

Rane's big night...

The rumors are true!

Yours truly went on-air tonight, 7/8/2007, and spent a few minutes chatting with Gabrielle Riel about my origins in Second Life (including the infamous rave that started it all!).  If you missed it, fear not, with Gabi's permission I hope to soon return to the airwaves in proper fashion.

Beware, folks, The Rane Man cometh...

Rane and the Duchess...

Seriously, how lucky can one guy be?  Talk about a chance encounter...the Rane Man gets a chance to dance with the Duchess herself!

The tunes were slammin, the beats were bumpin, and the Duchess...well, gave her best "WHATever" look in that first pic :)

It's called RL...

If you're reading this, you probably have one too...

Note my comic strip, "View From A Cage," along with the 24 calendar and my coworker's passion for The X Files (quite the fan myself).  

Messy?  I prefer the term "busy."

Beginning of the end...

For those that were there, really nothing more needs to be said.  It was the night I bombarded the DJ with about a bazillion requests, and for whatever reason they didn't kick me out.  Oh how they should have...

...but I guess hindsight is 20/20 ;)
