Tip If You Got 'Em!

After years of hanging out at Grizzy's, Lludmila is embarking on a hostess position.  No longer will she have to suffer an hour on tenterhooks at a trivia quiz to see if she can earn enough to keep her in ... Lindens that she usually ends up tipping at Grizzy's Café (and some other venues).  Tonight she starts her hostess job and reminds any attendants that she has no control over the music so the only reason to tip her is out of pity.  Pity tips accepted.  Oh, yes!

Lludmila would like me to add that, after years of being homeless in the virtual world and never having more than 30L to her name, she solicits tips only from the well-heeled.  Everyone is welcome to come and dance and have a good time.

Grizzy's New Place

Grizzy's Old and Grizzy's New Cafe

Grizzy Griswold recently renovated her cafe in Second Life. Things have certainly come a long way since I first started hanging out there 2 years ago! In the Early Days, it was just a dance floor where you could go and chat while your av gyrated (and crashed, which is what usually happened to me in those days). She moved to a different location and slowly added games and live musical artists. After her last move, she decided to renovate as well.
This innovative reincarnation of the new Grizzy's Cafe was realized by Skye Lewellyn and LaDonna Upshaw and it has really taken the former hang-out to a new level.



The new space has a large dance floor, a sitting area (for Grizzy's famous discussions) and gaming area upstairs. Grizzy has had to add some hosting help to keep the place busy all week long because her Real Life (tm) seems to interfere on occasion. [What's that all about?]


There's a host of games upstairs and a regular night for getting together and playing.
And, of course, the skating is now on the roof, to allow for a larger building:



The fishing and beach parties still go on outside! The snarky comments still fly inside! Caring friendships still abound. It isn't the shell that's so important - this place is held together on the strength of Grizzy's personality (something she seems to think she has more of in SL than in RL) but this particular shell is something special. Come visit.
